Dude, I remember one time my mom took me to a show at the Centroplex downtown, and the main event was the Ultimate Warrier vs. Andre the Giant for the Intercontinental Belt. I was SO fricking pumped...she even bought me an Ultimate Warrior t-shirt.
Anyway, the match consisted of this:
Andre is standing in the ring. Ultimate Warrior gets announced. He SPRINTS out, runs around the ring, gets in the ring, goes back and forth on the ropes several times, clotheslines Andre two or three times, then pins him and sprints out the ring and then backstage.
I was so upset. I was like "That's it??" And my mom was FURIOUS.
Over the years, I've looked for that match, and I think I found it a while back: LINK
fricking bullshite.
this reminds me EXACTLY of when my dad took me to uno lakefront arena to see Roddy Piper vs Rick Rude in a steel cage. Apparently Rick Rude had "car trouble" in Florida so Heenan took his place in the steel cage. It was obviously a damn joke and bullshite marketing to get people to show up

I remember going to Mid-South house shows growing up in the 80's, and they always delivered.

I know exactly what you mean! I was a junior in high school at the time and he was my favorite. The WWF (at the time) was coming to Lake Charles for a house show and I drove to the Civic Center right after I got out of school to get tickets. I got 2 ringside seats, we were literally right at the aluminum fence surrounding the ring, I was so pumped to see the Ultimate Warrior in person!
And just like you said, Andre the Giant comes out, gets in the ring and stands there.
Warrior's music comes on, he comes running to the ring, does exactly what you said, 1,2,3 and runs back to the back. I still have some pictures of it. All 3 or 4 that I was able to take while he was out there.
I said the same thing, "That's it? That was fast." I bought one of those black and white banner things that the WWF had at the time to hang on your wall of him. There was one of him and one of Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake too.
