Culkin has been around wrestling and has openly admitted that even WWE tried to get in contact with him for some possible storylines of their product.

The Home Alone actor recently appeared on the latest episode of Wrestling With Freddie‘, where he revealed his love for wrestling.

Back in 1990, when WWE was promoting the big fight between Hogan and Warrior at WrestleMania VI, Macaulay Culkin used a hotline to know the results of the match.

“I was working on Home Alone and that’s when WrestleMania VI happened. And I was such a big [Ultimate] Warrior fan, but I couldn’t watch the PPV because I was working. So they had a hotline back then, you had to call in to know the results. And I was ecstatic.”

The match was meant to be where The Ultimate Warrior would be seen as the ultimate face of the company. However, as much a hit the WrestleMania main event was, Warrior could not draw numbers for the company as the champion. The crowd would not cheer him the way they did when he had no championships.

Why did The Ultimate Warrior fail as a champion?

Now there are umpteen backstage stories of Warrior having backstage heat with almost everyone in the company, even displaying brash behavior towards the WWE Universe.

Ultimate Warrior had the looks, the physique, and the charisma to be the top-level guy, but somehow he didn’t click with the WWE Universe as a champion.

Ultimately, WWE chairman Vince McMahon had no other option left other than firing Warrior and re-instating Hulk Hogan at the top position of the company.

However, after years of bad blood between Warrior and McMahon, WWE inducted the former champ in the Hall of Fame class of 2014.
