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.
A lot of Warrior's matches were short. Isn't the match where he won the title from Honky Tonk Man like that too?

Ultimate Warrior could not wrestle, that is all he could do. I read a book on JYD, he was the same way. It took people like Ted Dibiase to make JYD look good in the ring. The book is called King of New Orleans, if you like Mid South Wrestling it is a must read.

Not really fair to call this one into question. Honky Tonk Man was supposed to wrestle Brutus the Barber Beefcake and they'd been feuding a long time. Beefcake got hurt and HTM was the longest reigning IC title holder in history. He made an open challenge just so the fans could see something and Warrior sprinted out and crushed him in about 20 seconds. Fans loved seeing a cowardly heel get crushed in no time. Didn't do much to hurt HTM and catapulted Warrior to just under main event status, despite his inability to work a match.
Warrior got a lot better working with Rick Rude. Rude shaped him up to get ready for his match with Hogan at Mania. Hogan isn't exactly a ring technician, either. But they worked on their match for over 4 months so it was Mania main event-worthy and it paid off. It would never fly by today's standards, but at the time, it was easily passable.
