Following a few confrontations with Hogan, most notably at the 1990 Royal Rumble, the Warrior was written in as Hogan's opponent in the main event for WrestleMania VI at the SkyDome in Toronto. The match was billed as "The Ultimate Challenge", as both Hogan's WWF Championship and Warrior's Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship were on the line.

The Uninhabitable Planet (Allen Lane, 2019) by David Wallace-Wells has been dismissed as “alarmist”, but the author points out that Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was similarly dismissed, yet proved both accurate and highly influential on policy. Moreover, his insistence that the crisis is happening here and now, and moving very fast, has been borne out in the short time since he published it. The scenarios he so vividly describes for increasing degrees of warming are certainly terrifying, but he reminds us repeatedly that “we have all the tools we need, today, to stop it all”. But not for much longer. And do we have the political will to use them?a b Steele, Ray (April 9, 2014). "Ultimate Warrior, Pro Wrestling Legend, Indiana Native, Dies at 54". WIBC.

Actually no, number one is ‘don’t sound like a knob’ ... because we don’t have time for people to get over their dislike of me before having a read of it.” Some of these essays are a little heavy on graphs, statistics and technical terms for general readers. But they are copiously interpolated by Thunberg’s lively commentaries, engaging and polemical, if often repetitious. They are proof, if further proof were needed, that she is a truly exceptional figure, fluent way beyond her years in grasping and communicating the complexity and connectedness of these crises.
