When the Ultimate Warrior was announced for this year's WWE Hall of Fame class, the reception was expected to be mixed - colleagues who worked with Warrior would generally not be pleased and current wrestlers who grew up fans of the character generally would be excited by the prospect of Warrior in the Hall of Fame.



Jake "the Snake" Roberts was one of the first notable colleagues to speak out against Warrior's Hall of Fame inclusion in an interview with the Busted Open satellite radio show this week. Warrior responded via Twitter on Monday night.



Roberts was asked about Warrior's career not stacking up next to his, prompting Roberts to question the merits of Warrior's HOF inclusion.



"I know, man! I know that. But maybe they’re taking in a-holes and not great talent. I don’t know," Roberts said.



Warrior took the "a-hole" comment personally, responding with a personal attack on Roberts.



"Question for former talents now 'hypocrite' born-again Christians. Where do we go to find you practicing the beliefs of Christianity? Hell?" Warrior tweeted. "One a-hole instills honor and pride, The other horror and pity. One grows wise on great stories. One reads bathroom stalls and still grovels."



Roberts returned to WWE at the "Old School" Raw two weeks ago and has said he would like to appear in the Royal Rumble, be inducted into the Hall of Fame, and/or have a match at WrestleMania. Roberts has said he does not need those added accomplishments to feel like his career and life are complete, but it would make for a potentially contentious HOF to have Warrior and Roberts in the same class and physical location.
