How are we near the end of another month once again warriors? In my area, we are beginning autumn or fall and I get a ring side seat to all the leaves starting to come down. ππ The place in the grass where I put my yoga mat seems to be covered every day, ugh as cooler temps are coming and soon sweater weather it shall be. I’m still not decorating for Halloween yet as that entire month gets its own devotion. I give it the entire 31 days as no other holiday shares those times so you won’t hear about any of that stuff from me just yet. Next week~~~ you’ll read about my anniversaries in October, but not today.
Tonight marks the debut of ” Mr. McMahon” which is a documentary premiering on Netflix. This 6 part series explores much about Vince’s life with many interviews and moments from his years in the pro wrestling business. It sounds fascinating but I don’t want to become addicted. Will any of you fans be watching? My brother might so I can get the “dirt” from him quite possibly. 6 episodes… Why does it have to be that number ha ha?! Mastermind or madman? You decide as the trailer promotes… π€π«£π¬
The photo I used today might make loyal readers say: ” them again?” Yes, I know I have used “The Ultimate Maniacs” many times of Randy and Warrior but this one is yet another that shared a birthday of mine. Their premiere on that episode of “Superstars” marked the debut of a short lived tag team. It was aired on my 20th birthday so I had to include it along with the guys to end this month of September. I LOVE what they both said about being friends as perhaps not everything was preplanned. I know both of them wrote promos and such but I truly believe they meant those words to each other. It’s worth the listen if you need to “reboot” your WWF memories. They were so good together with similarities that when asked, many wanted to see their partnership continue. It wasn’t meant to be but they are together now reminiscing about it all. π₯Ή
I will also link at the end today as I can’t believe I forgot~~~ another story connected with my 40th that bears repeating in a condensed way. I mentioned the summer of 2012 but not a few months later. ” The Birthday Plans” details how WMVI came back into my thoughts after a long absence many years ago. OF COURSE I stuck to my tradition of watching ” The Ultimate Challenge” or the last match on my birthday. I had watched it years ago but on VHS and then after moving, marriage, young kids, etc. it got DQ’d from my life~~~ at least for a long while. How in the world did a rainy afternoon turn into watching that again when I hadn’t thought of it in years? π³I have those answers now… It’s a great story and I still have the crinkly papers in print from another rainy day to prove it. I hope anyone new enjoys it as much as I did living it and then sharing with you all.
Let’s get back to “Mr. McMahon” and yes, even “The Ultimate Maniacs” a bit here. Why is it that we don’t let’s say, learn the lesson until things get totally out of control? This can go deep, I know but it affects us all. Some might say Vince got that way after a few earlier scandals and then once the Divas got introduced into the business. He also was accused of many other unethical things but seriously, I never imagined him being “forced out” in a way. Never. I always thought he’d be around in WWE until his passing. It’s like when things get piled up and then SH*T hits the fan! Why does it happen this way? Even with Warrior. Had the steroid accusations not been an issue, ” The Ultimate Maniacs” probably would’ve continued for a bit and become tag team champs. There were so many other issues too over the years with him but really, it isn’t just for the famous.
I know for me, both jobs brought stress but we stay for a while. Why? Well, because it’s our livelihood, it’s familiar, comfortable, and all that but is it still worth it? We wait and wait until the pot almost boils over or whatever phrase you choose. We can say this about relationships too whether they are family, romantic, or just friends. We fight like warriors but for how long until it gets out of control forcing someone’s hand to cave. We actually shouldn’t let it get to that point and yet we do, time and time again. οΏΌ
The upside is we are always learning so we get more chances every day. We can see our past mistakes and rectify them but only if we want to. We will be on repeat until we press stop π . The good side is that maybe something was supposed to happen in order for you to truly see it for what it is. Without the negative, there can never be a positive. Some may never see the light through the dark but it is there~~~ in one form or another. There will always also be pros and cons to every story but that is why we are able to have our own opinions on whatever life presents to us.
When was a time that you had to see everything kind of breakdown before you realized there was a need to move on? Warrior did. It can even be relocating to another town as you feel you have outgrown where you currently are. My life here. ππ»ββοΈ I know that’s a tame example and not really out of control but maybe you might feel that way over little things too. Just catch yourself *** BEFORE*** it can possibly turn into something worse because it isn’t healthy for anyone involved. We let things go on for so many reasons because it’s fear of the unknown. Maybe instead of fearing gloom and doom, it could actually be the best thing in the long run? Think that way warriors and I will too. From the change of seasons, careers, friendships, and even anticipatory documentaries~~~ don’t let it all get to out of control. The Ultimate Maniacs were, but outside the wrestling ring is where we tame it for our highest good… πππ»
