This also brings up the question: did Cokeboy really have the $ to pay Bret after all?
Cokeboy offered Warrior a $750k contract in December 1997
- Thread starter StarClout

Be a glutton for punishment with an even older Warrior
"Pal this is the Warrior we talking about. Larger than fukking life. fukk I look like cutting a bigger check to a whiny Canadian over a superstar from Parts Unknown pal"
Proof that McMahon is an absolute moron
Imagine Warrior açcepting this deal and squashing Stone Cold Steve Austin in 2 minutes 
and WWF was supposedly going out of business but this shyt here proves Vince was working the roster to take less money

Seems absurd now, but put yourself in Vince's shoes. He might not ever say it, but they were very afraid of WCW, even at this point.
WCW was at it's peak. Just post Starcade. They just got Bret. NWO was running strong. Austin and Rock were definitely rising, but weren't megastars yet. DX was still fairly new.
97 was a great year for WWE in retrospect, but it things weren't yet looking fantastic *at the time*.
Warrior was still pretty over when he returned in 96.

Of course he did. He had immediate buyer's remorse and picked HBK over Bret because Shawn was almost a decade younger and presumably had more upside for a longer period of time (not realizing HBK would be gone for the next 4 years). The deal he gave to Bret he never would have fulfilled anyway. 20 year contract in wrestling
Add to that that Bret and Vince's relationship was already strained and Bret was not into where the WWF product was heading. Bret knew that contract wasn't going to last, either. The whole thing was Vince stunting to make sure Bischoff didn't score another of his big stars and to show his own locker room that they weren't in trouble and were going to go the distance. It's been proven over and over with actual financial records that WWF was no where close to being put out of business even in the darkest times of 1993-1995, let alone when they were swinging back up in 1996/1997. That's all Vince hagiography.

Right, I do wonder what the attitude era would have looked like with Hogan and Warrior back in the fold.

I’ll call later.

I can’t see Warrior doing anything in that era aside from feuding with Taker (but him and Kane were on the collision course to WM 14)
Warrior was always ass
