Wrestling with Memories Ep 23: Papa Shango puts a curse on the Ultimate Warrior!

"Curse the living, raise the dead. The Warrior's nightmare, the Warrior's dread! The living will fall, the dead will rise. Papa Shango will reign over the Warrior's demise!!!"   It's time to put a spell on you and return to our 1992 WWE timeline in a big supernatural way!  On this episode, Wax and Fash will take you back to when Papa Shango put a curse, yes a curse, on the Ultimate Warrior!!!   Many see it as the most absurd, wrestlecrap in history, while others absolutely love how unique and crazy this storyline was. We certainly lapped it up back in the day as little kids!    As ever there are lots of stories within stories. The original plan after Wrestlemania was a huge feud between the Ultimate Warrior and Sid Justice, but things changed drastically. We provide the backstage details behind Sid leaving and the WWF inserting the mysterious, Voodoo master in his place. Every part of the Warrior-Shango feud is detailed and relived in its amazing, hokey glory and we debate what could have been with the Papa Shango character under different circumstances. Did you know, the character nearly returned twice in the 90s? All shall be revealed!    #ultimatewarrior #papashango #papashangovsultimatewarrior #papashangocurse #wwf1992 #wwe1992 #wwfsuperstars #wwfwrestlingchallenge #wwfnewgenerationera #wwf1990s #wrestlingwithmemories #wrestlingpodcast #sidjustice #wrestlemania8 #charleswright   So get ready for plenty of fire, vomit and black goo (literally!)
