One of the longest-running pro wrestling myths states that he
is actually the second wrestler to portray the Ultimate Warrior, as the
original died of steroid use in the 1980s. Evidence used to support this
myth is that the "second Warrior" had lighter hair and was bulkier in
physique. However, this is just one of many pro wrestling myths with
little factual basis. Hellwig is the only wrestler to portray the
Ultimate Warrior in any form.
