WWE great Ric Flair thinks The Ultimate Warrior does not deserve a spot in the Hall of Fame and he has voiced his opinions on it. The Ultimate Warrior had a complicated relationship with the WWE during his career and was not on good terms with the organisation but ended up in the Hall of Fame in 2014.
The Ultimate Warrior left the WWE in 1992 after his relationship with WWE and Vince McMahon soured. However, he returned in 1996 for a short period but was released by WWE after a few months.
