The Warrior was stunning...I was blown away. He was a little nervous, and he was slightly more preachy than engaging, (and he seemed a few levels smarter than the audience--which was a lethargic bunch) but what he said was 100% correct. In fact, I would like a transcript of his speech. (and Reginald Jones, too) There are things worth reading over studying. He isn't some guy playing a character on TV--he really is a true warrior. And he is fighting for the ultimate cause.

DITTO!! BTT!!

[STARWISE]

Warrior really threw down the mantle .. a real challenge
to everyone really .. are you brave enough to stand up
for what's right and true?? Very compelling!!

I saw "Warrior" on C-Span. He was good but I've never heard of him. When did he actually wrestle? It was also the first time that I've ever seen C-Span call somebody by a "stage" name.

I thought he was going to be just a meat-head but he was very good and spoke about serious issues.

I'd never heard of Warrior before. He was a blast of energy! I was spellbound. He didn't seem nervous, just intense and passionate, and damned articulate. Can we get him to run for something?!!! We need a transcript of his speech, but he spoke so fast, it's going to be hard to get it all down. What a naturally brilliant speaker!

WARRIOR FOR PRESIDENT!!!

[TheBigB]

He wrestled in the early and mid-90s. "Warrior" is in fact his full,legal name.

[Mo1]

ok .. he's got my attention

He makes good points about common sense

[unspun]

Go Warrior dude!

[jhw61]

Well, it's 1:20 a.m. EST and I just finished watching both Reginald Jones and Warrior. That was truly inspiring and brings to mind "and I won't back down". Before they went on some dim/dem (same thing) was talking about Head Start. How polarized this country is. I particularly liked that Warrior mentioned John Adams and outher forefounders and Abigail Adams.

I thought to just peruse for a peek, and stayed rivited throughout his presentation.

This Reginald Jones?:

Voted "TOP SPEAKER" at the 1999 Summer Conference

Reginald Jones is an entertainer/ entrepreneur and lecturer. A 20 year veteran of the entertainment industry, Reginald was first exposed to the business during the birth and growth of rap music in his South Bronx neighborhood. While enjoying a successful career as a musician and singer, he worked as an artist liaison at New York nightclubs, "Silver Shadow" and "Bently's." To learn the business side of entertainment, Reginald landed a job at MCA/ Universal under the tutelage of Michael Halley and Angela Thomas. Through dedication and diligence, he was promoted to the video department where he worked with such performers as Busy Bee, Patti Labelle, and New Edition.

Mr. Jones' first foray into radio came in 1988 as "sidekick" to Terry Terrell, host of WNYU's "Pure Funk" show. In December of 1990, he founded his own entertainment company, The Reggitainment Group, which manages, promotes, and publishes music. In February 1994, Reginald met motivational speaker and author Les Brown at a speech in New York City.At Brown's urging and under his tutelage, Mr. Jones (dubbed the "Golden Voice" by Les Brown) began his new career in public speaking. Soon afterward, he would join African-American leadership group Project 21 as their lead spokesman and advisory board member. Following his speech at their 1995 press conference, he received over 50 requests for media appearances including Newstalk television.

In September of that year, his career in talk-radio was launched when he was hired to guest host the "Equal Time" show on WTTM in Trenton, New Jersey.

Mr. Jones joined Young America's Foundation's lecture program in 1997. Through the Foundation, he has quickly become one of the most requested spakers on college campuses and has traversed the country speaking to students from the University of Washington to Penn State University. In addition, he was rated the best speaker at the Foundation's 1999 National Conservative Student Conference.

Fate would yet again touch his life in February 1997. Representing Project 21, he made an appearance on the Rush Limbaugh radio program. The nationwide response was overwhelmingly positive as well as the reaction from Limbaugh and the EIB staff member Kit Carson. The show was heard by, then president of National Empowerment Television, Paul Weyrich. After being interviewed by Mr. Weyrich on the network's "Direct Line," Mr. Jones landed his own national show "Grassroots Live." In January 1998, he began hosting "Generation Now" on the Radio America Network.

In June 2001, the Reggitainment Group became promoter of music from George Clinton's WeFunk Records featuring artists such as The P-Funk All-Stars, DRugs, and alums of Brides of Funkenstein, Dawn Silva and Sheila Brody. Furthering his career as an entertainer, Mr. Jones sits in on selective dates as a backup singer for Parliament-Funkadelic as well as for Funkadelic founding father Bernie Worrell & the Woo Warriors.

Mr. Jones has also appeared on The Fox News Channel, MSNBC, CNBC, C-SPAN, CBS Radio, America's Black Forum, and the Right Side with Armstrong Williams.

In addition to his career work, Reginald is involved in community and philanthropic activities. His work has been recognized and commended by the New Jersey state legislature. He currently resides in New Jersey with his wife, Courtney.

Or 'this' Warrior?

Professional wrestling superstar, Warrior, continues to inspire young people across America with his powerful lectures on the ideas that have made this country great.

Even though he was voted “least likely to succeed” in high school, his spirit, discipline, and courage have led him on an incredible life journey. Warrior is one of the few to become the WWF champion and continues to be one of the most popular wrestlers in the history of professional wrestling.

After winning the 1984 NPC Mr. Georgia competition and other events, Warrior entered Mr. America in 1985. It was that experience which would take him on a journey that no one, especially him, would ever have expected.

Seven years into a Doctor of Chiropractic education, Warrior desired a break from ten quarters of arduous study and dreaming of opening his own clinic. It was at this time that Warrior’s bodybuilding efforts brought him before a life-changing opportunity.

Warrior was approached by Ed Conners, from the renowned Gold’s Gym, to become one of two rising amateur bodybuilding protégés the fitness behemoth sponsored annually. Out of this association, Warrior’s athletic potential turned the heads of informed pro-wrestling scouts. While learning the ropes, Warrior formed a partnership with Steve “Sting” Borden, and soon after they entered the official ranks of professional wrestling. The fearless twosome joined the Mid-Southern Wrestling organization and began their illustrious mat careers as the “Freedom Fighters” and for a short time as the “Bladerunners.” Five months later, different promotional opportunities called and the duo parted ways.

A stint with the World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) in Dallas helped him flesh out the character that would forever make him a household name and icon, The Ultimate Warrior. As “The Ultimate” one, the Warrior moved east to work with Vince McMahon and the WWF. Within two years of headlining the Federation, he defeated Hulk Hogan for the Championship Belt.

Dropping “The Ultimate” came as a result of living life physically, intellectually and spiritually like a true heroic warrior, and in 1993 Warrior changed his name to just Warrior. In the mid 90’s, Warrior became a businessman with projects that included comic books, gyms, and a mail-order business called “Warrior’s World” which helped legitimize that “Warrior” meant more than just a muscled guy in the “squared circle.”

In 1996 Warrior returned to the WWF for a brief time to reenergize wrestling fans and reinvigorate TV ratings by beating the record high rating he already held. He soon found himself embroiled in a legal battle for the rights to the intellectual property of his own creation. A bitter five-year court battle ensued and he was unable to compete for the rival WCW until there was a judicial intervention. In 1998, he prevailed and Ultimate Warrior returned to the ring and again his presence scored all time high cable TV ratings for TNT’s “Monday Nitro.” Warrior remains the only wrestler who has the rights to his name after working with Vince McMahon.

Always of an optimistic state-of-mind, Warrior believes therein lied a challenging lesson he was destined to learn, “It is never wrong to fight for what is right. Never.”

Inspired by personal and professional circumstances, Warrior rechanneled his physical intensity into intellectual pursuits. Reading, learning and writing became his new workouts.

Currently, Warrior is preparing for his greatest battle: to teach, lecture, and mentor those seeking truth and leadership as human beings. An avid reader of the Great Books of the Western World, his goals are to uniquely repopularize Western Civilization’s education, along with the brilliance of the Founding Fathers; and bring Aristotle, Homer, Aquinas, Thucydides, Machiavelli, Adam Smith, Russell Kirk, Friedrich Hayek, Tocqueville, Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand and many others to young people all across the country. Writings by civilization’s best original and modern thinkers that exemplify the plain and powerful philosophy in which Warrior lives his own life.

Warrior and his wife, Dana, who have been married for four years, have two girls, Indiana and Mattigan. Warrior has been taken for their family’s surname. Warrior says, “It is no matter that we live in contemporary times, when two people decide they want to rebuild enduring family traditions - heritable traditions not handed down by their own ancestors - they can, and it can be incredible.” The family currently resides in New Mexico.

Always Believe.

Home of the Warrior

Thanks for the bios.

DITTO, I watched this last night.

I hope C-SPAN Archives this longer than seven days.

I hope I can get my 12yr old nephew to watch it.

[OXENinFLA]

I've ever seen C-Span call somebody by a "stage" name.

He went into that a bit, "Warrior" is his sur name.

He had to battle Vince McManon in court so that the WWF/E couldn't use it anymore.

[ladtx]

I watched both speeches by Reginald Jones and the Warrior. Both were very good, Jones for his intellect and the Warrior for his enthusiasm for conservatism. What the Warrior lacked in presentation skills he more than made up for in his enthusiasm and obvious patriotism.

[mikeb704]

Even though he was voted “least likely to succeed” in high school. . .

Do you think any school really votes for a "least likely to succeed"? I kinda doubt it.
