"Told me he didn't care about me, he didn't care about my family" – The Ultimate Warrior insulted Hall of Famer for requesting a title shot backstage
The late Ultimate Warrior is one of the most controversial WWE Superstars ever. Hall of Famer Jake Roberts revealed how Warrior once insulted him in his dressing room when he went to ask for a shot at the WWE Championship.
Vince McMahon personally told Jake 'The Snake' Roberts to talk to The Ultimate Warrior. McMahon wanted Warrior's go-ahead to begin a program between The Snake and Warrior for the WWE Championship. However, their encounter didn't go as Roberts thought it would.
Speaking on DDP Snake Pit, Roberts recounted Warrior's dressing room incident. The Snake said he wasn't too thrilled with the idea of asking Warrior permission to work with him and was upset at the way the former WWE Champion reacted:
"I went to his locker room and knocked, and he cut a promo on my ass. Told me he didn’t care about me, he didn’t care about my family, and if he’s going to work with me, I had to be on f*cking time, I had to be sure not to miss any shots and I better not f*ck no damn drug test yadda, yadda, yadda. He just ran the riot act. Never did look at me in the eyes, just stomped around the room in a circle, back and forth, marching around. I’m like, ‘OK!’ then he goes, ‘OK, get out!’ He dismissed me." (H/T - 411mania)

The match between the two never happened because WWE released Warrior before the program between the two men could start. Roberts revealed how all the effort he put into shooting vignettes for the program went to waste.
