Anyway, the big news coming out this week before WrestleMania 30 is that the Ultimate Warrior may no-show at the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony. The controversy stems from an unpaid appearance bond from the mid-1990's. At the time, the Ultimate Warrior no-showed a few WWF house shows. The Ultimate Warrior blamed the missed shows on personal family problems, but the WWF did not accept his reason. As a result, the WWF required the Ultimate Warrior to pay an appearance bond to insure he would attend all of his scheduled appearances. The Ultimate Warrior refused to pay the bond, and his WWF tenure eventually came to an end. Fast forward to today, and, according to WWE sources, the WWE still wants the Ultimate Warrior to pay this appearance bond. The fear is that if the Ultimate Warrior no-shows the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony that it would be a black eye on the new WWE network. The WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony is a live event on the network.
Will the Ultimate Warrior pay his appearance bond and show up at the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony? We will find out this weekend at WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans.
