Yes, that’s the title today and you all will know why as a couple new firsts yet again I was not even aware of. All this time. All this time, I cannot believe it after these almost 10 years have gone by. Am I killing you with the suspense? OK, here they both are. We’ll start with OMG. Many faithful readers have known that expression widely used on these writings quite often, mostly way back but sometimes it makes rare appearances. It fit perfectly for this match today and when continuing reading~~~ you’ll get it. I would use it when explaining a funny Warrior moment I encountered or even a spiritual connection brought my way. It FINALLY gets to be part of the title as I barely had to think on this one. More on that in a moment.
The second one is that pic ⬇️ below. You will see an Ultimate Warrior blue shirt that became very popular 10 years ago after a LOOONG hiatus. Any guesses as to why? I can cue the “Jeopardy” theme, but I’ll wait a sec here. Well, I can’t read minds across these words so I will share as I do. LeBron James wore that * EXACT* shirt when the Cleveland Cavaliers won their 1st NBA title 10 years ago now against those Golden State Warriors. Yes, this has been mentioned multiple times and is in my book “ Spirit and Belief”, but I have a new reason today. I had only ever used HIM wearing that shirt as my cover photo for these writings the first few years or so. I had switched to my book which was the most obvious choice overtime! Never had I used a pic of the shirt by itself, but HAD to this week.
That shirt sold a bunch because many wondered who that guy was! LeBron was a huge wrestling fan as a kid and UW became a favorite. He “claimed” it was his last shirt he packed, but tee- hee~ 🤭 I got the reference. Was it a dig at the other team they beat? Who truly knows but Kathy cheered loudly during that parade that’s for sure, for multiple reasons! Let’s move on as to the REAL reason I chose that shirt finally for this week’s photo.
First off, I have to back up a bit to last July 4th. Does anyone remember me mentioning how I saw a guy wearing a UW shirt when my husband and I went to see fireworks? His shirt was a flag with UW’s logo and I just couldn’t believe it! I knew it was a UW reference and how patriotic seeing it on that day as would love it. 🇺🇸Well, this year on another July 4th, I saw another guy with another UW shirt. Yes, readers you got it~~~ ding, ding, ding 🛎️ if you put it all together. He was wearing that blue one below which I have not seen in years! The last time was probably during my son’s senior band night in high school~~~ which became purely ultimate to me then. 🥹Getting back to the big 250th b-day as I was outside putting some flag decor in our front yard. I do know a few neighbors but haven’t met others yet. This guy was mowing his front lawn so I could totally see when that lawnmower made its turn. OK, I’m actually not 100% sure without truly staring but let’s just say 99.9%. He didn’t notice my reaction (thankfully!) but I was in disbelief. Good disbelief that is. 😳
I was done decorating but had to still look busy, right? I decided to sit in a chair near our front porch area~~~ ya know just to relax after that hard work, ha ha! He doesn’t need a stalker for a new neighbor! 2 July 4ths in a row warriors, 2.. What are the odds? No coincidences, remember? I still wanted to run over and say something. I will one of these days as maybe he’ll wear the shirt again? Even if he doesn’t, next time he’s out I will have to walk on over (not run!) excitement subdued just a bit and introduce myself. I would love to hear his story and maybe he even knows the LeBron frenzy! 🥰We can bond over WWF. I’m sure it will be a great Convo but not sure if I feel comfortable just knocking on his door. Maybe I’ll get more warrior strength. I mean, he has to mow the lawn again soon, true?
So, those are the two OMG stories that I wanted to share today as they both made me laugh see. I still have OMG stuff and I never know when something will run to the ring. I never bought that shirt either but my goodness, it was great to see again, I haven’t seen a woman wearing it as perhaps it seems more for guys. Thanks LeBron for bringing it back to the front row as I know Warrior himself would love that too. Like I’ve said~~~ love the man with the name but not the team my Cavs beat for that title.
To end today, I will give a little sneak peek into my episode of the “ LeJeNdary Figures” podcast hosted by Babyface Brian of the 80s wrestling one we both belong to. I had such a great time and he called me the “Ultimate Author, Blogger, and Podcaster.” I’m honored to have those titles as part of my name. It is episode 180. I rated 10 figures from 1986, but he wants to have me back and do some UW ones. Anything from 1.0 to 5.0. I can be unbiased… He goes in order of how LJN’s are released so it’s a waiting game. I also had to give a top 10 list of wrestlers I enjoyed so listeners can get to know me. You might be surprised by a few but he (of course!) and others know my number ONE. I shared my beginnings in watching the “Golden Era” of WWF, my book and blog info, and the new “ Ultimate Truth” podcast naturally. I couldn’t leave without being the only GIRL on the show as well!
I so hope you fans can give it a listen and the fun part is always at the end. He asked what favorite music or band you like. It can be a singer, group of yesteryear, or even today and “Andre” does karaoke! Brian does a great Andre the Giant impersonation and sings very well. The song pic is always a surprise! He complimented me (after we had a few technical issues) but I hope the guys from the podcast enjoy it too. More OMG times so guess I did have a three 3️⃣ count after all!
I wish you readers your OMG moments you can connect to life experiences as we all have them. The best are unplanned as they make us laugh the most. At least they do for me. If anyone has that blue retro UW shirt, let me know! Maybe you even mow your lawn while wearing it. I promise I won’t stalk you… 🤣
