Could he have competed at national level? i heard he was a mr Georgia and was looking
to step up to do the Mr Universe but there was more money in wrestling.
very interesting,yes I believe he did compete,There was a book in the mid-80's something like "super high-intensity bodybuilding" or something like that,he was actually the cover model, no long hair or facepaint.but it was him, There are several youtube clips on him,very intense,a little out there,he is a motivational speaker now,and made a brief return to wrestling a couple years ago.

he was a little out there in interviews, but that's sorta what i liked. funny to look back on!
The Ultimate Warrior was a great character back in the 90s.
Big role models at the time!
Damn he still looks great, though someone should tell him to swallow his spit rather than foam at the mouth the entire time he's lifting. He was great though, I guess when he was in wrestling is when I watched it because I remember him vividly. The interviews were awesomesauce, back then I didn't even speak much English, glad to hear even natives couldn't make sense out of them.

cool links. reps. He used to be my favorite wrestler. He made the Hulk look like a chump.
Jim got me into bodybuilding at 14 when I was between relatives in
Indiana and Chicago. Before he got famous he was a regular
guy that loved training as we all do. He went really far in
anything he put his mind to I looked up to him when I was a kid.
We're all sad he is gone now, he was really smart and had
alot going for him. He is still missed..
Thanks for posting the links.
Warriors never quit!
Funny story, Jim Hellwig was actually preparing for a bodybuilding contest when his training partner, Steve Borden, convinced him to go to a wrestling tryout instead.
Steve Borden AKA Sting.

Haha seriously? Did not know that. Two training partners go to a tryout and both go on to be world champions..crazy.

Proves how important a good training partner is.

yes, they wrestled as a road warriors rip off kinda team called the blade runners. their most notable run was in mid-south/uwf under the same name. warrior eventually split and went out into his own around 1986 i think, where he was in wccw as the dingo warrior, and after a brief run for less than a year i think, entered into the wwf as the ultimate warrior.

weird seeing you post outside the rasslin section :p
Hellwig was wayyyy bigger than Steve. He was probably too tall to ever fill out, but he looks pretty massive bulked up in this early promo:

This thread deserves a tribute. One of the all time greats and one of the best physiques to grace the wrestling world. RIP The Ultimate Warrior
