We all deserve a FUNNY 😆 post after last week’s right? I know I do. That previous one took its toll on me and I was getting tired of that negative energy being around plus watching the docu series. I was so emotionally drained and then my instincts came “running” in for a positive and fun one. I can’t fully say how this came to me but sometimes ideas in the back become the main event so today it’s another 3️⃣ count. I hope they bring a smile your way.
I had put out into the Universe for a while now just a few moments from Warrior’s career that involved words spoken. With just about all his promos, I knew exactly what he was saying but then there would be a few times when I’d ask myself: ” What did he say?” Maybe a few of you fans can relate to my examples here. Get ready because it’s the Ultimate Maniacs again! Well, I didn’t use a photo of them below but they had used part of a song called: ” This Cowboy’s Hat.” Of course I had watched it years ago and had no idea as I didn’t know that song at all. What is Randy saying? Those words had nothing to do with their opponents at the upcoming Survivor Series! I always wanted to know whose idea it was and who knew that country song from the early 80s. You can look up the lyrics. I’m so glad someone on YouTube a few years ago posted them. I have that promo on DVD and never knew the words until YouTube. Grateful for that as I finally had this question answered. Perhaps I will never know who originated the song for their promo, but it worked and the crowd loved it. ” Pin its ears down flat” sounded like some word of ” pinajeer?” What is that? 🤭The way of words with them leads us into the ” Way of the Warrior” in WCW.
Even though Randy and Warrior go back farther in my memory, I had forgotten much about their brief tag team. ***NOT anymore with so much to reflect on now that has been mentioned…❤️💛I also (like previously stated,) never watched Warrior in WCW either. It was only after seeing much again on YouTube but then when ” The Ultimate Collection” was in my hands. Everyone probably knows when Warrior appeared on Nitro in August of 1998. You fans know. He gives a loooong speech which I believe to be brilliant but too much for time constraints. This isn’t about that but is about his words spoken. Yes, I know his entire speech NOW but there was one statement I could never fully grasp until recently. I’m so glad when this topic came that I did my research.
To back up a little, the ” Way of the Warrior” music was written for Warrior’s return to WCW as he speaks the intro while sirens 🚨 blare in the background. The only words I always made out were scope, life? or destruction and then I heard what I thought was “kick the target out.” Another one I would never fully learn until our buddy YouTube once again. Destruction seems to be a common word with him. 😑 I would replay it so many times, I still couldn’t get it,! Google led me to YouTube. A few guys put up possible lyrics but this I believe is the correct version: ” the target is scoped and locked for destruction, take the target out!” 🎯 It seems a few words I heard were right I guess! Kick works too but isn’t it amazing how just some words make us scratch our heads and wonder? Sometimes when we just accept for a bit and let it go, the Universe helps us like it did for me. I’m sure Warrior was saying: ” See, you finally got your answers!” The “Way of Warrior” became the way of words which baffles us sometimes but then we get it right, even after years of trying.
Near the beginning of Warrior ranting to “Hollywood Hulk Hogan,” he talks about how “something ultimate may soon reappear!” Next, he goes on to say what I thought was ” welcome to the real plans?!” I could never find that out but a few weeks ago, I read a super long article (most was not flattering) on Warrior and the guy had W’s whole script so what he said was “reappearance”, which makes total sense based on his prior words. Plans would work too but very funny. After all these years, I finally know the right way of words he spoke.
How about song lyrics? I haven’t mentioned music in ages but it fits today. I know most of you readers get words wrong in songs, don’t you? If you don’t, you’re lying to yourself because come on~~~ we’ve all been there, including me. I decided in some songs that I like my lyric better and still sing it that way! Sometimes, we might not understand the lyric so we insert our own. Yep, done that too but there are those times we just can’t seem to get a word here or there right and it screws up the entire song. We can look them up online now, but not years ago unless we had the album or tape. My Mom would have such a hard time when us kids started listening to music on the radio. She’d happily sing along to our faves and then we’d look at her and say: ” No, Mom- that isn’t it!” She’d laugh and then still sing her version anyways… I’ve done that with my kids too… Oh the things that repeat. 🤣
That’s my way of words today or way of my warrior writings. I hope I conjured up some good memories for you and as one of WWE slogans went: ” putting smiles on peoples faces.” My smiles are for different reasons but I hope it’s there for you. Now, go look up your homework of ” This Cowboy Hat.”
P.S. My brother and I got Phil Collins song ” Invisible Touch” wrong. We always thought ( yes- both of us if he remembers) it was called ” Physical Attraction.” So funny!, Phil with his ol’ WWF roots and songs they used. That wasn’t one of them. I have written about 2️⃣ others though! 😜
