The Ultimate Warrior is finally going into the WWE Hall Of Fame this year.

The Warrior is a bit of a controversial candidate for induction. He certainly was not an outstanding in-ring performer.

But there’s a reason why The Ultimate Warrior is remembered so fondly by a certain generation of wrestling fans.

The Ultimate Warrior dared to be different. 

While other wrestlers wore plain tights and boring boots to the ring, The Ultimate Warrior wore wacky tassels and neon colors and flashy face paint.

While other wrestlers walked slowly to the ring, The Ultimate Warrior rushed down the ramp like a wild animal unleashed.

While other wrestlers delivered promos like this:

The Ultimate Warrior spoke like he was from another planet:

Does it matter that no one on this planet understood what he was talking about? No, because he shook up the norm and ultimately stood out amongst a group of ordinary grapplers.

The Ultimate Warrior could have been a flop. He could have failed for trying to be different.

When you break the mold of ordinary you take that risk. You may not be the best at it. You may fail.

It’s ok. You have the ultimate safety net to catch you. As Christians we should be brave enough to take the craziest risks, trusting God will protect as we step out in faith.

So paint your face. Throw some tassels on. Run your way to the ring.

Do something out of the ordinary today.

If you want to make a difference in the world, you can’t be afraid to be different.
