"I don't like to speak ill of anyone" - WWE veteran refuses to comment on Ultimate Warrior (Exclusive)

Ultimate Warrior is one of the most recognizable names in WWE history. However, a veteran does not think too highly of him it seems, considering his comments about the legend.

Warrior was known for his explosive style and impressive physique. His talent was evident from his winning several titles in the Stamford-based promotion and his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014. However, he has also received his share of criticism at times, and Harvey Wippleman seems to fall into the latter category.

In an interview with Sportskeeda's Dr. Chris Featherstone, Harvey Wippleman was asked to share his thoughts on the Ultimate Warrior. The veteran stated:

"Next (chuckles). I don't like to speak ill of anyone, especially the dead... When the music hit, he was very excited on his way to the ring. Shook the ropes, and he made faces and all that, and then when the bell rang it all went away." [4:12 onwards]

The WWE veteran also commented on Curt Hennig

While Harvey Wippleman was not exactly a fan of Ultimate Warrior, he did think highly of Curt Hennig.

Speaking in the same interview for Sportskeeda, Harvey stated that Curt was incredibly athletic and skilled, which led to him sometimes overshadowing the rest of the card. He stated:

"What can I say about Curt. He was so athletic and so tremendous, maybe too much so. Maybe he should have held back some, 'cause he made everybody else on the card look bad. You know what I mean? To his credit, he was good, but maybe he should have held back a little bit." [3:56 onwards]

Curt died at the age of 44 in 2003, but his achievements in the ring are enough to immortalize his name in WWE history.
