He started out as part of a quartet of former body builders known as Powerteam USA. The team was made fun of for being more muscle than skill. Hellwig and Steve Borden broke from the group and formed a heel tag team called The Bladerunners in which Hellwig was known as Rock and Borden as Flash. They wrestled together in Universal Wrestling Federation until after a contract dipute Hellwig moved on to World Class Championship Wrestling and started wrestling as Dingo Warrior. In WCCW Dingo Warrior never made it past midcard status however the world had gotten a glimpse of what eventually became one of the most recognisable figures ever to set foot in a wrestling arena. In 1987 several promotions approached Jim Hellwig. Antonio Inoki and New Japan Pro Wrestling outlined details of a new monster charachter they wanted Hellwig to portray in their promotion. Hellwig of course turned them down in favour of the World Wrestling Federation. In 1987 The Dingo Warrior made his debut in The World Wrestling Federation. "Dingo" was soon dropped in favour of the more marketable "Ultimate" and he was given a guitar heavy enrance theme. His running entrance and the insane shaking of the ropes quickly made The Ultimate Warrior a crowd favourite and he took the WWF by storm. After taking care of jobbers in his early days he began feuding with another powerfully built wrestler, Hercules Hernandez. Their feud ended at Wrestlemania IV with The Warrior emerging victorious. The Warrior was now an established WWF superstar but this was just the beginning. The Warrior became WWF Intercontinental Champion on 29/08/1988 when as a stand in for the injured Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, he disposed of The Honky Tonk Man in a matter of seconds.

Rude attacked Warrior setting the stage for a title match at Wrestlemania V on 02/04/1989 in which Rude won the IC title with assistance from his manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Rude's title reign was short lived though as The Warrior regained his title at that years Summerslam on 28/08/1989. In the Royal Rumble of 1990 Warrior was eliminated by WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan. This set up their huge match at Wrestlemania VI on 01/04/1990. It was the first time the top two babyfaces had squared off against one another. Title vs Title. WWF World Champion vs WWF Intercontinental Champion. Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior. Before 65,000 ecstatic fans in Toronto Ontario, Canada The Ultimate Warrior defeated The Hulkster and became WWF World Champion. He lost the intercontinental title shortly after this on 23/04/1990 to Mr Perfect in Austin, Texas. The Warriors popularity skyrocketed and he became the face of the WWF both in and out of the ring.
