third way of the warrior
Those who don't frequent political blogs but maintain an interest in Warriorcentric stories: this one's for you. Yes, you, Jon.
The Ultimate Warrior's in the news because of his homepage being featured on SomethingAwful last week as their Awful Link of the Day. The Legal Counsel of the Warrior issued a C&D letter, which SA ignored.
Oh, and he was recently invited to UConn to speak to the Young Republicans club. It didn't go so well, as you can tell from the statements here, here, here or here. For Warrior's full-length ramble on the subject, see here.
But that's just one incident. You really need to get a broader perspective on the contemporary Warrior phenomenon to fully appreciate it. You might start with his list of key concepts -- among them, "foke" and "destrucity". As far as I can tell he's trying to put together a political movement/cult centered around a wrestling-flavored varietal of the ubermensch concept, sprinkled with generous portions of homophobia and a homoerotic body obsession. It almost makes Adam Yoshida sound reasonable.

The Way of the Warrior is not for the weak. He is the original anti-hero. The Avatar of a new breed he is Often imitated, his current incarnations include Tyler Durden and that dude from Final Fantasy who looks like a chick.
We all wear masks but Tommy, yours is the mask of Weakness. Take Foke, bring Destrucity and spit your steak on the tine of victory. you are not long for this world, do you want to leave a soggy rotting corpse or a Generation Warrior?
