Date 08/05/88

Conquistador #1 is already in the ring when The Ultimate Warriors music sounds out around the arena. Warrior makes his usual running entrance and the ring announcer introduces him as being from parts unknown. He shakes the ropes and raises his arms to salute the crowd as well as posing on the second turbuckle in opposite corners of the ring.
The bell sounds to begin the match and the two tie up in the center of the ring. Conquistador #1 manages to get Warrior in a headlock but Warrior powers out of it pushing his opponent against the ropes. Warrior meets him with a couple of punches on the rebound before winding up and throwing a huge punch knocking his opponent clean out of the ring. Warrior poses in the ring while Conquistador #1 comes to on the outside. Conqistador #1 starts climbing back on to the ring apronn. Warrior grabs hold of him and helps him into a standing position. Warrior then drops a forearm on him the force of which knocks him back into the ring! Once back inside Conqistador #1 recovers enough to run at Warrior who hip tosses him and irish whips him against the ropes. Warrior hoists him up and drops him flat on his face on the canvas. Warrior covers him and the referee counts two but Warrior rises off his man before the referee drops his hand for the three count.
This is a somewhat surprising tactic from Warrior as refusing to pin your opponent when clearly having him beaten in order to hand out more punishment is a tactic mainly used by heel wrestlers.
Warrior retreats into the corner while Conquistador #1 recovers and slowly gets to his feet. Warrior is crouched like a tiger waiting to pounce on it's prey. When Conquistador #1 is in a standing position Warrior does just that. He charges from the corner and hits Conquistador #1 with a huge clothesline. Warrior then signals that it's time for the Gorilla Press Slam. The crowd begin to cheer wildly as Warrior hoists his man up over his head and drops him on the canvas behind him. He then runs off the ropes and delivers the big splash to Conquistador #1 who is still lying face down. Warrior rolls him over for the three count at 2.18 and another easy victory in the WWF.
