You might not know what that saying in the title references, but you will soon. I am not super vain, ha ha! I wanted this month’s “selfie” to be kind of crazy 🤪 but then thought to end my 3️⃣ count. I had done 3 pics with either UW or W in the past and this is my 4th. Oh my goodness, I mentioned the number 4 after all~~~ who would’ve guessed that? The end of August brings up all the past SummerSlams since that was when they were always held. Yes, it is still summer warriors but now we are in the Astro season of Virgo, ♍️ my birth sign. That pic of UW below was from SummerSlam ’89 with its 35th anniversary being TODAY. Yet another milestone on my blog day. With that in mind, I just had to pose with UW winning back the belt from “Ravishing” Rick Rude. Tomorrow, marks the 36th of the very first SummerSlam ’88 when UW won the IC title after HTM’s long reign…
OK, do you wanna know the title reference? Maybe longtime readers will remember. Near the beginning of the match as UW is standing on the ropes acknowledging the crowd, someone holds up a sign. I had mentioned it years ago while almost choking on my lunch! 😯Maybe some of you have seen your name on a sign but me? Never. It’s not common nowadays as most ladies would seem older. There are some words underneath but I could never make them out. I would love to know. So, whoever that other Kathy was (and spelled the same,) she got a shout out at the second biggest PPV then in the WWF (E.) It is right in view along with UW but I had used that pic back in 2019. Yes, I did check.
I also did a little more math as I tend to do sometimes on here. All you guys or gals who were young when you watched WWF, well~~~ it is generational for sure. If you watched and actually remember matches, promos, characters, or any of it from the past, then you’d have to be at least 40~~~ AT LEAST 40 to have those memories. Any younger would not. 43 to possibly remember “Hulkamania!” I am not referring to the early 80s much here, just late 80s. They say we have our earliest memories at around age 3 so UW debuted there in 1987. You can do that easy math. I had just started my senior year in high school (probably anyway) so I was almost 17. To get those spiritual signs several years back and then to see an actual sign on ” The Ultimate Collection” DVD was just amazing to me. 🤭
May and August fly by or should I say RUN 🏃🏻♀️ fast for me. It’s a lot with the kids as those months are swamped with so much stuff, I feel like I’m in a wrestling 🤼 match sometimes! Do you have those moments when activities seem the busiest? I bet you do. We are getting a heat spell now after a colder week. Our pool is still open so we aren’t always the ones to automatically close it Labor Day weekend. I talked my husband out of that a few years back. Even though it technically isn’t that holiday weekend here yet, it does make me think of what WAS happening in my family 35 years ago. Just after SummerSlam a few days later, we headed to Michigan for a family reunion on my Dad’s side. It was also to celebrate the early birthday of my Grandma who was turning 75 in October. I have that special evening on tape, but unfortunately it is on VHS. 😕 Such a great memory it was. A few years ago, my youngest aunt just turned that age and HER kids along with the grandkids threw her a big birthday bash too! Almost 35 years in between with her mom, but not quite. 🥳
If old enough readers, can you recall something significant in your life of 35 years ago? Anything that happened would be back in 1989. Hard to believe 1990 will turn 35 next year. 😳 I can imagine many things which takes me back to living in my childhood home and it seems like a lifetime ago. It’s just like I always say, it can be feelings of yesterday and then ages passed all rolled into one. I’m sure you know what I mean as this becomes our emotions on everything. I’m not trying to be a downer or anything but just to think back and reflect on a different time.
I do hope this month has given you special times as well. We take it all in, however it is but I wish you all the good your heart can hold. September will be here soon as that brings my birthday month. I have photos lined up so stay tuned for those. One I just did research on recently as yet more info was sent my way. You’ll read all about it next time. 😉How are we almost done with 2024? Well, when you are crazy busy like I’ve been~~~ it blasts like a rocket all loaded up with fuel! 🚀 A few family milestones are left as I finally find it winding down some. Both kids are getting more adjusted to college as I can breathe a little more easier. This year has been so incredibly packed, there’s no more room in the gear bag!
Happy 35th to SummerSlam ’89 (among all those other events of that year,) but especially any in the WWF (E.) I do still watch some matches or promos and YES~~~ a few in September will be talked about as they connect to me. Enjoy the end of the month and soon fall will be upon us here in my “arena.” College football games are coming too! 🏈Hi 👋to all or any Kathys out there reading. There could be some! Let me know if you are one. I wonder what happened to the girl who was mentioned on the sign? She made history too and she might not even have known it…
P.S. Let’s just not remember WMV of ’89, shall we UW fans? 😬🙄
