Could they make an old-school variant based on Dingo Warrior? Like do they own that footage? He did compete as Dingo Warrior in the WWF Yeah but how do you really differentiate this from other WWE Warrior figures? |

Why did he ever call himself Dingo? He’s not Australian, he’s not a small dog, it makes no sense. Definitely a good choice to switch to Ultimate. How do you get over as the didgeridoo warrior or whatever. The 80s were weird...

Did he hail "from parts unknown" back then, too? Maybe 'Dingo' added to the mystique. Or maybe it was just the 80s and it sounded cool.

Parts Unknown was a WWF thing to make him seem more supernatural and otherworldly. WCCW billed him as being from Queens, New York when he was managed by Gary Hart as Dingo Warrior. Dingo Warrior sounds goofy now, but it was wrestling in the 1980s. They probably thought it sounded cool. As Warriah mentioned, he had a friend who had a dog named Dingo, so he got it from that. I don't think he truly understood or knew what a dingo was at the time. The story is that Vince McMahon asked him what a Dingo Warrior was, and he was like, "I dunno." Vince was the one who wanted to call him "Ultimate Warrior" because he would be "The Warrior above all others," above the Road Warriors, Modern Day Warrior Kerry Von Erich, etc. That's probably why after he had an un-amicable parting with WWF in the mid-1990s, he couldn't use ULTIMATE WARRIOR anymore but he could use Warrior. He was established as wrestling with Warrior in his name pre-WWE. But WWE essentially created the ULTIMATE WARRIOR title, so he couldn't really use it in WCW or elsewhere. That's why in WCW he was just called The Warrior in 1998. Since Daveyboy added those other mockups, I think it could definitely work to make some mid-1980s Dingo Warrior variants with an alternate head sculpt and that goofy 1980s mustache he used to sport. |

Warrior must have mis-heard the guy. |

They should make an elite Warrior from that one time when he blew up before the bell rang.
But really, I want a Dingo Warrior.

We need a Dingo Warrior! A chase variant green with a standard red (or vice versa) would be cool.
