Missy Hyatt, a former valet in WCW and ECW, made a startling revelation about WWE Hall of Famer Ultimate Warrior, suggesting that he may have worked as a sex worker during his early wrestling career.
In an interview with Wrestling Shoot Interviews, Hyatt disclosed that through her friendship with Ultimate Warrior’s then-wife, Shari Tyree, she learned about Warrior’s potential involvement in this controversial profession.
According to Hyatt, she and Shari Tyree worked together at a club in Atlanta where she discovered that Warrior was advertised in magazines, offering his services for individuals to pay him to pose for them and take pictures of him in exchange for money. Hyatt shared:
Shari and I were really good friends, but she ended up filing for divorce because he [Warrior] was in a magazine, and you could pay him, and he would come, and you could take pictures of him and he’d bodybuild, it was one of those kinds of things.
Hyatt further revealed that Shari Tyree’s discovery of Warrior’s involvement in similar activities with women led to her upset and subsequent filing for divorce. However, the couple eventually reconciled.
So she found out, it was okay to do it with men, but she found out he was doing it with women so she got really upset and she filed for divorce but then they came back together again.
When questioned about whether these photoshoots ever escalated into actual sex work, Hyatt admitted:
I don’t know. That’s what Shari thought. Shari thought that he was, so that’s why she originally filed for divorce. But then they got back together again.
