Friday Night Frights- Jake The Snake, The The Ultimate Warrior, The Hell Am I Doing With My Life

Oh, yes, it's Friday Night and the Frights are right, it's Friday Night...Frights. Summer is a Spooky season, as you all are used to seeing by now, and as a spooky season that leads up to THE spooky season... there's some spooky shit to be had. What am I talking about, well, that was literally just filler. I have no clue how to start this.

*cough*

Back in 1991, The Ultimate Warrior was in a feud with The Undertaker. Which means all sorts of stuff filmed in a graveyard while Paul Bearer did that face thing... the hell was that? Did... did he poop himself or something? As The Ultimate Warrior was facing a dark evil foe, he needed the help of another dark and evil individual, Jake The Snake! If nothing says dark and evil in the early 90's it's a guy with a mullet in a silk shirt who owns a snake. Jake begins showing the Ultimate Warrior the ways of the darkness and to believe in a thing called love. Just listen to the rhythm of your heart, Warrior. Which beats the blood of the warrior.

We are then treated to various clips of Jake and Warrior in a graveyard doing such things as digging up bodies, closing the Warrior in a casket, and other spooky shit until the culmination in a shed full of snakes. It's a carnival haunted house come to life with SO MUCH HEAVY BREATHING.

Crash The Rocket Ship To WWEternia

I can't express just how great the Masters of the WWE Universe toys are. As one can easily deduce, the line is a crossover series with wrestlers in MOTU bodies and styling. But it goes far beyond that. The toys are combining the classic homages of MOTU characters and each wrestlers personality. The Ultimate Warrior was born for this line and he's in the fist wave. At first glance you'd see him and laugh that it's just Warrior as a He-Man toy. They play that up quite a bit. The text from his character bio is taken from one of his promos as is the crashed space capsule in the artwork. It's insane and it's perfect.

However, he's not just the Ultimate Warrior as a He-Man toy. Before Prince Adam and the backstory we all know, He-Man was originally a warrior from a jungle tribe that came into owning the power sword differently. Later the Prince Adam origin came to be and this was dropped until the MOTU Classics series made a figure of this incarnation. Now a character known as Oo-Larr, whom was a previous He-Man prior to Prince Adam. It's amazing that Mattel took such lengths with a toy seemingly meant to be a novelty and made it so dang cool.
