To date this documentary has not been released on WWE Network nor Peacock due to the content and tone of the presentation; it's been described as a hit piece. Ultimate Warrior was one of WWF's most colourful superstars and fans in the late 80s and early 90s couldn't get enough of his over-the-top character. Warrior became so popular that he even dethroned Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania in what was seen by many as a passing of the torch moment. The Ultimate Warrior would leave and return to WWF / WWE multiple times throughout his career though and many stories and rumors would surface in regards to Jim Hellwig himself and how he carried himself backstage. Warrior was asked to contribute to a DVD project in 2005 and Warrior refused. So instead of getting a documentary presentation that would likely praise the Ultimate Warrior, the WWE went in the other direction by releasing "The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior", a show that highlighted a few of Warrior's career milestones but it also included a lot of guys ripping Warrior apart. It was seen by many as a burial of both The Ultimate Warrior character and Jim Hellwig himself, and Warrior decided to sue the WWE when the DVD was released in stores. This video takes a look at the entire documentary.
