Staggering news resounded in the NWE Arena during the Madrid show on April 19th. More than 15,000 fans had the chance to see the award presentation which celebrated the career of professional wrestling icon, The Ultimate Warrior; who was in attendance to accept his award. However, controversy erupted during the presentation when NWE Champion Orlando Jordan mocked a young fan of Warrior's at the event. Warrior was quick to come to the defense of this fan which led to a heated conflict between Warrior and Jordan.
On June 25th 2008 in Barcelona, after a 12 year absence from the ring, The Ultimate Warrior will officially make his wrestling comeback in a match against Jordan. The news was confirmed this morning by Warrior's agent, Bernie Gernay in a statement. "For over 10 years this is what the entire wrestling world has been waiting for, the return of the Warrior. We are excited to bring back the greatest character and energy to ever get into the ring. Ultimate Warrior is an incredible marketing machine and has kept a tremendous value to his name which is why the NWE has stepped up with a substantial deal that worked very well for both sides. There is no disputing that Warrior left a mark on professional wrestling that no other talent did and the reason why still today he is often imitated, but never duplicated."
Over the next few days the NWE will inform fans of the preparations for one of the biggest and most important wrestling events ever to be held in Europe. As the news progresses it is sure to be the headlines of wrestling news and forums throughout the internet and will most certainly have all in the wrestling industry and fans alike in great anticipation to see what the Warrior will deliver on June 25th, and perhaps beyond.
Here is his "match"...By god..who would have thought the warrior would have gone from a wild,face painted Neandathal to the Ultimate Irwin R Shyster in the last 10 years since we saw him! This video cracks me up..but also saddens me because he looks completley spent at the end...Oh well.
ORLANDO JORDAN SPEAKS OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME ON HIS UPCOMING MATCH WITH THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR AND WARRIOR'S JEALOUSY OF HIS PLAYBOY LIFESTYLE By WorldWrestlingInsanity.com
In 2007, he debuted his audio show "Club OJ" on ClubWWI.com. Now, a year later, the Nu-Wrestling Evolution Champion Orlando Jordan returned to ClubWWI with "Club OJ International" and speaks out - for the first time - on his huge match against the Ultimate Warrior on June 25th in Barcelona, Spain.
Orlando is known for his run as WWE U.S. Champion but considers his current run as NEW Champ to be what truly has made his career. In order to prove his place in history, OJ has accepted the challenge of the Warrior, who hasn't been in the ring for a decade. Although Jordan respects the Ultimate One's history, he makes it clear that his time is done.
James Guttman discusses this match and more with Orlando in his 27 minute audio show todayon location from Europe. Among the topics discussed are: N.W.E.'s huge roster, working a European crowd, Little Warriors, hearsay and false rumors, and more. However, one topic James asked about was jealousy. After all, O.J. is known as Nu-Wrestling Evolution's resident playboy while Ultimate is a "family man." Guttman asks if he just maybe wants to get some of his overflow at the local clubs. Jordan sees it that way:
"Of course. What married man doesn't walk by, walking through the airport and stuff, walking through a park and stuff, and see the hottest girls and think to themselves, "Damn. If I wasn't married." So sure. Why not? I keep some of the hottest ladies and the hottest people around the world around me. My company and stuff. Everything I do, I do it big time. So, it's why not? I think he might just be a little jealous of Orlando Jordan."
OJ speaks on about his plans for the Warrior and how this match will be his true retirement. He closes the show with a message to the faithful listeners of his audio show, Club OJ:
"Definitely. Little Warriors and stuff? That's great but I got a franchise Club all around the world, man. Club OJ. June 25th, after it's all said and done, we're gonna have the after party and I said, in my area and section and stuff, drinks are on me. And James, if you can make it out there, the first vodka cranberry or vodka red bull is on me."

Seems that TNA is intrested in the Warrior. From Rajah.com
Last night on Impact, an interview with Sting was conducted and he talked about he first broke into the professional wrestling. Ultimate Warrior's name was brought up during the interview as Sting noted that they broke into the business together as a tag team. Regarding possible interest in the Ultimate Warrior, TNA officials are indeed interested in his services. TNA has directed some inquires towards Warrior, however, we have no idea as to where things stand between the two parties.
I'm glad Warrior is back.Him and Undertaker have been my two favirote wrestlers for a very long time.I loved his Shoot interview,and his website is interesting as well.

And now we are arrived at the main event of the evening, as to say the event that *Ultimate* *Warrior*s fans have waited for the last ten years: the return of their champion on the ring. On the arena screen the Madrid show footage was played, with the challenge by Warrior to *Orlando Jordan* and the consequent preparations that the two wrestlers have done for the match. Warrior, as family man, is dedicated to very hard training, surrounded by his family. Orlando, as man without values and dedicated to vices, trained surrounded by many women and champagne. The first to enter in the arena is Jordan , accompanied by his main lady *Regina* , under a stream of gold confetti that covers the venue. Then the entrance music played and here we had the mythical Warriors run to the ring. With short and grayish hair, he returned to the ring with a long and colored jacket and the unmistakable mask on his face, colored this time of red and white. He shook the ropes and behind him was an incredible display of pyro. They had strong and technical match, with big moves from Warrior, who even jumped on the ring post and launched himself on Jordan from the third rope with a big splash. After more than fifteen minutes, Warrior pinned Jordan to win the NWE heavyweight title. But then he took the microphone and declared that he wants to make the title vacant. The belt will be put up for grabs in a big tournament.
"They had strong and technical match" - Yeah right!
according to some reports,the warrior pulled out some actual wrestling moves and gave a good accounting of himself...I know its hard to believe but the guy does look in pretty amazing shape for a man of 50.
