1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣!
Hello warriors! We all are anyways whether you followed the Ultimate one’s career or not. I looked up some info and never had I used the word Titan at all on here. The number three has been repeated multiple times but never titan so how about that? I used it today because of 3 guys I am mentioning and one ~ well~~~you know him but the other 2? Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan. I’m sure you know them too. I will start with Ultimate Warrior because of the most recent “80’s wrestling the podcast” episode. It was all about UW’s ‘90 Heavyweight title run.
When it was first announced how that would be the topic, I gotta say I SIGHED… I hated to do that, but it comes and stayed with me a bit. One never knows with topics that involve Warrior so I cringed well fully knowing calling in would be a must. I can be unbiased, of course but some discussions~~~ people need to watch out or should I say BEWARE of me! You will know more on that word later. It was finally podcast day and they took me first. WHAT? 😳There were 4 callers ahead of me. I was stunned and overwhelmed but they know me and UW facts (or maybe emotions…) so I went first. The episode is called “ The Ultimate Warrior’s World Title Reign.” It was from June 19. It’s almost an hour although for some reason it got cut off early! 😤 I don’t know what happened but I am on about 16 minutes in for 10 minutes or so. The callers were all so positive and blamed poor booking on his not “ Hogan- like run.” 🙄
I loved everything that they said, and it was the longest I ever spoke! Feel free to check it out wherever you can get podcasts. I downloaded the free Podbean app but if you are a UW fan, it’s worth a listen. Just not the end that gets cut off. 🤦🏻♀️ They made some excellent points and Warrior was defended well so after all my sighs~~~ they didn’t let me down. No gorilla press slamming on my end!
Let’s move onto Vince and some news which few that follow might know already. He and a business partner who is a previous WWE executive have formed a new company. I’m not entirely surprised as Vince is not going to just sit around and rely on lawsuits to keep him in the news of wrestling. His company isn’t mentioning sports entertainment per se but one never knows. It’s called “ 14th and I” which are 2 streets in Washington DC where his Dad created “ Capitol Wrestling Corporation” or CWC. Nice touch on the name but we shall see what transpires… It’s an investment firm handling sports, media, and entertainment. He has the money, but it’s his personal reputation that could hinder some success. Both Vince and Brad Blum are part of some impending legalities so time will tell.
Lastly, Hulk Hogan. He and Eric Bischoff (former president of WCW) are partnering together to embark on a new wrestling company called “ Real American Freestyle” or RAF. I’m sure they got the title from HH’s old theme music. Its launch will be this August near ME in Cleveland, Ohio so that will be a crazy night down there come late summer. Both guys will oversee much along with a longtime wrestling coach named Israel Martinez. It features men and women competing in weight classes with time limits. They have teamed up with some former NCAA legends and tickets have already gone on sale. There were rumors of Hulk and Eric working together on something for months so now it’s freestyle wrestling. Maybe my husband would be interested as it’s closer to “real” wrestling and he was very good in high school. 🤼♀️ Another time will tell on this one but with those men involved, I’m sure curiosity will invite fans to follow. Also, athletes they are familiar with already.
That’s enough about Vince and Hulk as I don’t like getting into all that but news is news and I thought the three Titans worked! After all, WWEHQ was called “ The Titan Towers” for years and writers often referred to Hulk and Warrior as their two Titans, especially around the time of WMVI. I think it totally connects today, don’t you? I also wanted a pic of UW as champ since the podcast focused on that so it is a little off center. The magazine was folded over as I had no need for the words, just the photo. I had fun adding his colors so it worked out. 🩷🧡💚
Did fans miss me talking wrestling? It will be a rarity on here from now on unless I feel something worthy to mention like today. Hard to believe July is next week! My, time is running just like the Ultimate Warrior and my time is running out with you all for this post. Check out “ 80’s wrestling the podcast” to hear me once again. I’ve called a bunch lately! I love those guys, everyone has embraced me being mostly the only girl caller so it’s humbling to have some ultimate love! 🥰
P.S. When I first started calling into the show, they were giving everyone nicknames. I was called “the ultimate caller.” Recently, I have been outside so they were hearing lots of birds. They started calling me “the Bird Woman.” The following week, the episode was all about “ The Birdman” Koko B. Ware as a fan suggested. I was then called Kathy B. Ware!!! I loved it as they do need to * BEWARE* of me on certain topics! 🦅😂
