Several wrestling personalities have told stories of how The Ultimate Warrior wasn’t nice to young fans despite being a top babyface in the WWF.

Warrior even denied giving an autograph to Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling, when Gosling was a child. You can watch Gosling talk about this below:

In his 2007 book ‘Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling’, Bret Hart recalled a story of Ultimate Warrior refusing to meet a sick, dying Make-A-Wish kid:

“I got to see exactly what kind of champion Warrior was during a show in Omaha. Propped up on a stretcher a few feet outside of the dressing room was a Make-A-Wish kid who looked to be down to his last few hours. There was not a hair left on his head, and not even his Warrior face paint could mask his sad eyes. Sickly pale and barely breathing through a ventilator tube, the boy wore a purple Warrior T-shirt and green and orange tassels tied around his biceps to honor his hero.

His mother and father and an older brother and sister were with him, patiently waiting for the promised encounter with The Ultimate Warrior. I bent over to say hello, as did all the other wrestlers on the way into the dressing room. It was odd, but there was Warrior actually sitting with us: He usually kept to himself in his private dressing room. By the time the third match started, a WWF public relations rep poked his head in and politely asked Warrior if he was ready to meet the dying boy.

Warrior grunted, ‘In a f****n’ minute. I’m busy’. I thought to myself, ‘Busy doing what, talking to a bunch of guys you can’t stand anyway?’. As the night wore on, the family waited just outside the dressing room door, the boy hanging on to his dying wish to meet his hero.

As I was returning to the dressing room after my match, I was relieved to see that they weren’t there anymore; I assumed that the kid’s wish had come true. Warrior’s entrance music played while Jim (Neidhart) and I quickly showered in hopes of beating the crowd out of the building. We’d have to hurry since Warrior never went over 10 minutes. We dressed, grabbed our bags, and took off.

As we rounded a corner down a backstage ramp, we came upon the boy and his weary family, who had been moved there so as not to get in the way of Warrior’s entrance. I thought, ‘That lousy piece of sh*t’. He’d made them wait all night, unable to summon the compassion to see this real little warrior.

Hogan, Randy, and countless others, including André, never hesitated to take the time to meet a sick, dying kid. My disgust for Warrior magnified a thousand times. To me, he was a coward, a weakling, and a phony hero.”
