By 1987 the WWF had taken notice and hired him. They quickly pushed him to the top of the card by having him win the [[WWE Intercontinental Championship|Intercontinental Title]]. He would hold that title for most of the next twenty months. WWF owner [[Vince McMahon]] decided that the Warrior would be the [[sports entertainer]] he wanted to replace [[Hulk Hogan]] as his top star. McMahon had Warrior beat Hogan for the [[WWE Championship|WWF Title]] at Wrestlemania 6 in an effort to improve the wrestler's crowd support. With Hogan off to pursue a movie career, Warrior was a regular at the top of the card. He would make a successful title defense against Rick Rude at the 1990 Summerlam. With Warrior not taking off with the fanbase, the decision was made to have him drop the [[WWE Championship|WWE Title]] to [[Sgt. Slaughter|Sargent Slaughter]] at the 1991 Royal Rumble. Over the next year he would work shows against [[sports entertainer]]s such as [[Randy Savage]], [[The Undertaker]] and [[Jake "The Snake" Roberts]]. He then opted to leave the company due to unhappiness with his role.<ref>http://www.wrestleview.com/info/faq/warrior.shtml</ref>
