This is an alternate video to "Two Hearts". Warrior gets impatient trying to learn the choreography and starts beating Phil Collins up. Gilbert Gottfried is also part of this. This looks like studio match, or should I say a su-su-studio match. I kill me. We wrap up with Phil Collins concert footage and with that, 1990 is all done.

I'm honestly surprised the WWF allowed this with Gottfried thinking the champ is still Hogan and the other guy namedropping GLOW. Warrior busts out a few things he never did in "real" matches, including the must-have when any wrestler appears in a non-wrestling context, the airplane spin.

Warrior actually uses a not-too-shabby looking Boston crab here, which surprised me a little. The airplane spin was actually more of a fallaway slam without the fallaway, which would have crushed poor Phil like a grape.

 

The most embarrassing part of this was Phil's ring attire. You can tell that whoever did the special watched way more boxing than wrestling. The headgear was another dead giveaway; who wrestles in boxer's headgear other than Rick Steiner? I know they wanted to protect Phil, but did anyone seriously think that Warrior was going to drop him directly on his head?

 

Fortunately, I have "Take Me Home" at the end of SNME to remember Phil by in a wrestling context, because this certainly was something to forget.

AVC: Here’s a question you probably don’t get asked much: What do you remember about your match against The Ultimate Warrior?


PC: [Laughs.] Oh, yeah, well, I remember that very well. He just died recently, didn’t he?


AVC: Not too long ago, yes.


PC: [sadly.] Yeah. Well, [my son] Simon was very happy to meet him. It’s funny, just thinking about it now, Simon was 12 or 13 when “Two Hearts” came out, or something like that. You can work that out, thinking of the dates. But he was very keen to meet The Ultimate Warrior. He was very into wrestling. And my other two sons Nicholas and Matthew went through that phase, too. We went to see the wrestlers in Geneva when they came through. We saw them a couple of times, and we got to know some of them very well. They’ve grown out of it now, though, so I don’t go around watching scantily-clad men so much anymore. [Laughs.]


AVC: Well, the clip of you and the Warrior continues to float around YouTube. You put up a hell of a fight.


PC: Yeah, and he was a good guy. But it hurt. [Laughs.] Those ropes, they hurt if you’re thrown against them. I mean, you’ve have to be pretty tough to do that stuff. It was a surprise just how much they hurt.
