(09 Apr 2014, 12:43 pm)AdamY In defence of The Warrior, most of the bad-blood between himself and the WWE stems from the fact that he legally pursued things which to which he was entitled. While Vince and his legal team have, in the past, strong-armed certain performers to waive their rights under threat of the lengthy (and costly) courtroom battle; the Warrior successfully defended himself and won the rights to his gimmick. That takes balls and I admire him for that.
However, I agree with what you say about his political and personal beliefs as I too find them repugnant and reprehensible. He did take pot-shots at his peers for no apparent reason but he seems to have mellowed out in later years - working with an openly bisexual Orlando Jordan (something which he probably wouldn't have done while making his 'motivational speeches' back in the late 90's/early 00's); and making amends/burying the hatchet with fellow performers.
