WCW claimed that attempts were made to save the storyline though Warrior has claimed in interviews and convention appearances that the only reason he was brought back was so Hogan could get a win over Warrior in return for Hogan's WrestleMania job. Warrior's last appearance in WCW was on the November 9, 1998 episode of "Monday Nitro", when he came to the rescue of The Disciple who was being attacked by members of The nWo. Warrior retired from wrestling that year.
