Did You Know............The Renegade

Post by Big Bad Booty Daddy » Mar 6th, '12, 17:15

Did You Know that when The Renegade (Rick Williams) died, WCW refferred to him as "Rick Wilson" not Williams??



He was also used as The Ultimate Warriors stunt double until Warrior left WCW.(Not quite sure why he would have been needed as Warriors stunt double) :-?

Due to some copyright issues, Warrior's character had to be drastically altered when he appeared with WCW. He LEGALLY was not allowed to run to the ring or shake the ropes or anything resembling The ULTIMATE Warrior. So Warrior picked up some new skills to showcase, like teleporting. He'd be on one side of the arena taunting Hulk Hogan then suddenly be on the other. This is why he needed a "stunt" double.
