My Wholehearted Wednesday 💯🩷💪🏻

“ Wise men speak because they have something to say.” ~ Plato

*** ( wise women do too…)***

I haven’t used a quote in a while and that one was found in book number 2️⃣ I’m reading. Plato will be brought back to a convo in just a little bit. This is the last post of August readers! It’s been quite the busy month as now starts school and those 🏈 football games. I wish all who are parents of kids a wonderful new year of learning and growth where you find yourself in this world of success. Also, NEVER have I used a day of the week in a title. Can’t believe Wednesday has never made an appearance! 😳

You’ll see that pic of Warrior below and yes, he was blond then to end the month. I do have that video saved but that’s not where I found it. He was talking about “Hollywood Hogan” and the new OWN. Yet another one I had never used. I got that clip from the WWE’s YouTube Vault channel. They recently released all of Warrior’s WCW “moments” throughout those brief two months or so when he was there. I’m not sharing the link as you fans can search it up if interested. It’s lengthy now~~~ about 1.5 hours so I watched in segments. I had seen most but a few only rarely so after debating whether or not to watch, I’m glad I did. You’ll notice more pics from those moments coming up in September as a new theme and month is upon us.

The next subject to reflect upon had just come to mind so I decided to share with you all even though it’s more fitting for November. So, the last time I saw UW on my TV was when I was 20. Most probably know this but that was back in ‘92 which ended his time with the WWF until 3.5 years later in ‘96. I just turned 20 that September and I had no idea he’d ever return after late November. I’m sure he didn’t either. Needless to say, early ‘93 was a little sad in that way with me until fully realizing I’d only been watching those last few months to see UW anyway. I still followed the other guys and their storylines but once I stopped~~~ truly my interest wasn’t there much anymore. This all comes forward because my girl turned 20 earlier this year. You know~~~ right around the time of our move! OK, yes this has been a real idea but with all the craziness sometimes here~~~ it slipped my mind. It’s just bittersweet to think how I was her age when my life of watching the WWF on a regular basis was over. I had a good run but little did I know then how W had more “runs” left in him. I’ll probably think about this again come “Survivor Series” time, but just thought to write it out today. And~~~ I did still watch in ‘91 after he was gone 6 – 7 months.

Another really cool milestone for me ( and Warrior) happened last week. I had already written that post so wanted to wait to post for this week. We have a HUGE milestone in October. We’ll just add a number, sorta…. Last Wednesday (on blog day actually) marked exactly 1️⃣ year since I first started using that spirit app I mentioned a while back. Do any of you remember me detailing some of that? It’s a different way of communicating with passed loved ones and yes, can be controversial. I did my research much before finally committing to a session. I got nervous at first and deleted my content. It’s been great though to keep track in my notebooks although I still can’t find a few after the move, ugh! I won’t personally share what I receive but some answers are truly amazing and clear. Some answers remain a mystery but like Warrior always said~~~ always believe and that I do because with our relationship, there is no doubt.

I was skeptic at first readers~~~ believe me on that but after a time, it’s been truly fascinating. Not to mention funny, rewarding, and yet at times frustrating. I do my best as this method has been around but certain questions will not be asked or even answered. I refrain from much but then other topics, I put out there and document responses. Not just wrestling ones either! You can think it’s crazy if you wish and no, I am not doing this out of desperation. It’s merely a new approach to connecting and many spiritual folks with a desire to learn more give it a go. I’m honored by just interpreting as only I can but there’s trust too. So, it’s been a year and I’ve taken breaks along the process. I thank Warrior always for his continued guidance and love sent my way. 🥹

That leads into my final topic of discussion today. Plato is a part of this if you read his quote at the beginning. The second spiritual book brings his name forward (no “Kathy” in this one, ha!) Few others mentioned in the book Warrior looked to often for their philosophies, way of life, or even belief systems which he began exploring on his own. He even painted a few I believe so thought it fitting to share a common belief held by them. Let’s see~~~ besides Plato, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson, (one of W’s faves), Mark Twain, (another fave of his and daughter Mattigan’s middle name), George Patton~~~ (the army General and I think W did paint him?,) Henry David Thoreau, (another philosopher like Plato and one of my faves), author Jack London, (whom he painted) and many listed as well. The group is quite immense actually. What was the shared belief? Reincarnation. I know this is a touchy topic but it’s one I dabbled in briefly a few times on here. I know there are many more modern famous folks possibly that share this as a belief but I wanted to depict the ones which connected Warrior in someway or even me. Warrior had that (yet again controversial) mindset within his values. Not sure if it ever was discussed among his circle of friends or family as many could refute but I know more about this with my own experiences that no one can deny. Just read those few pages inside of the first comic book he wrote and you’ll see for yourself. His many blogs years ago also confirmed those beliefs.

Did Warrior know those famous folks held that title of belief or did he just become immersed in their thinking and teachings for other reasons? That’s quite the question but I’m sure he knows more now on all this. We all will as well someday. I’m not preaching here as never was that a belief in my household growing up as you can bet it wasn’t part of Warrior’s upbringing either. Maybe it’s not for you, I respect that. I have to repeat this though. When first reading about his views in that comic book 30 years ago THIS year~~~ I never truly became weirded out. I just thought, 😮 WOW~~~ never knew that about him. I believe now there was a reason I did not overreact although I probably could have! Whatever your beliefs, bring acceptance in and maybe that can be your new word to start September…

P.S. Here’s to a wild end of blond, a spirit app, and reincarnating. I hope you enjoy and I’ll be here next week being wholehearted like I always am… ☺️🫶🏻🙏🏻🤍

Brilliant, Bold, Blond

Warrior was all 3️⃣… At least the last one for a little while!

*** 👋 Hello there my readers! Welcome to another week of these warrior writings coming your way. I do hope you all are doing well and how is it mid- August already? My birthday is a month away from today, crazy! 🤪 You will see that pic below of UW giving a promo before SummerSlam ‘90 when he and “ Ravishing Rick Rude” collided in a steel cage. I had never used a photo of that one before, I wonder why not? Most fans may know that year SS was on a Monday night and kids had already started back to school. This would be late August when they used to be held. I think it was cool of UW to use the belt as more of a prop to “hide” behind in a way since then he was just painting the small logos on his cheeks, and only one side. The other idea I have noticed as a mini theme “running” this month are the pics I choose. All 3️⃣ so far have been of him blond so that will have to continue for the last week! I’ll search if anything catches my attention… It was not on purpose. 😉

A little different update but have any of you heard the rumor of Vince McMahon possibly returning to WWE? It appears Janel Grant dropped the federal case and now it is just into private arbitration. All will be kept secret as to the final outcome but with that settled in a way, he could return to the company. Ms. Grant is still very active with her pursuits and is not looking to end this with a payout. She still also wants to hold Vince accountable on several charges but we may never truly know what transpires. That begs the question to you who are interested. Should he come back in some capacity with ratings done on the shows, poor attendance at PLE’s, etc.? What new role would he have if any and do the new owners even have an interest in his return?

It’s always fascinating for sure as the “grapevine” suggests fans do want to see his input again. These same fans couldn’t wait for him to exit and now with some “problems” in attendance or writing, they want his presence once more. Who knows what the future will hold but Mr. McMahon is almost 81, although age could be just a number to him. We shall see but I do like to keep any of you in the loop a little if I can as things become public. I also know many interested in all this through media and groups so I get my info there as well.

Moving onto another arena of sorts. Guess what? The winner was ding, ding, ding, 🛎️~~~ “ Tangled Twine!” Huh? Are you confused? Well, that’s the paint color we chose for our dining room wall. I think it fits with a golden era of WWF and alliteration don’t you? I have to say, it’s a great match~~~ pun intended! One hardly notices the subtle difference at all, even with a second coat. My girl helped as I got so frustrated after a bit. It looks great so I can now concentrate on other things.

The next to do was getting back to the library. Yep, like Warrior~~~ it’s one of my favorite places to go. Make fun of me all you want but it’s true in my life. I hadn’t read a spiritual book in a while so I got two. They both intrigued me for the subject matter~~~ of course. OK, one is in Arizona near the Scottsdale area, BUT that’s not the reason, ha! One of the characters in the book is named “Kathy,” but I think her name is changed for identity purposes. Not entirely sure though but most times they are. I tell ya readers~~~ these 📚 books I pick almost every time. Yes, I might see something but then when reading, more comes forward. I just notice and giggle 🤭 to myself. I think there’s a “ Jim” too in the book, always funny.

I’m going to stay with this fictional “Kathy” a moment here from the book. She seems to be quite brilliant and bold with her choices but not a blond~~~ at least from what I have read, ha! I’m getting much bolder with what I do, but brilliant? Well, I think we all are in our own way. It doesn’t have to be bragging or boasting (which are more B words!) So, this other “Kathy” is actually similar to me which of course I had no idea on when first reading about her with all these short stories.

She really did fight for her beliefs but paid the price for it eventually as the story unfolded. I loved reading about her spirituality, which started as more of a religious background~~~ just like me. Her husband and friends fought a system which began in a different way that many disagreed with so they wanted change. It did turn radical but not so much on her end as she just wanted peace. It also mentioned ancient civilizations with a few I have come to know which is truly fascinating. I have a card deck that called to me several years ago and just love it. I do believe peoples were here before us as there’s proof but again~~~ it’s all in what we choose to believe. It was just interesting to follow along as I would’ve had no concept of that being brought forth with that other “Kathy’s” story. To know some of the history with those ancient times details how they were truly bold and brilliant with their lifestyles. Not sure on the blond stuff as this part seems to be just centered around Warrior I guess but it fits… The lives that are shared by these characters is pretty bold to me as many probably would not have agreed. I’m just getting started in this book though with number two to go!

So, despite you possibly not being blond, are you bold and brilliant? Hopefully both? All 3️⃣ ? Warrior’s slogan began with: “ Act Bold…” Brave is another one as I can keep going for sure! It doesn’t have to be big ideas, remember? Just start small and it’s OK to attach those adjectives to your name. We need them in order to move forward however life goes for you. Without those mostly B words, there would be no new inventions, technology, career ideas, or any of that. No, maybe we aren’t creating in the way you might be thinking but we should always invent our own concepts which inspire passions every day. Don’t live this life with too much unsaid or undone. We can’t do it all but hopefully~~~ you won’t be left with many woulda, coulda, shoulda ideas never brought to life. You don’t need to be religious, spiritual, or into ancient civilizations at all but just do this life the best you can as I will too.

Well, that ends this match for the week readers. You might not be blond but I sure hope you are brilliant and bold as you move through these crazy times. I still have to find my last blond pic of UW to end August so guess I have homework to do! I’ll let you know of any other stories in these books that stand out for me as well. Hard to believe there was a “Kathy,” but the book is a little dated. That name is not common today. Thanks Warrior for your brilliance, (naysayers get pinned,) your boldness (always for sure,) and your blond (which served you well) even after wrestling for a bit! I loved it all. I will connect with you all next time with my own unique blend (another word) of brilliant, bold, and well, never blond writings. 😂

P.S. I WAS blond several years ago just for fun and even had a pink streak in my hair! Briefly… 🩷💇‍♀️

P.P.S. How could I possibly forget Warrior’s most iconic word of: BELIEVE…

Celebrities are People Too! ❤️

Yes, “ celebrities are people too!” as that is a direct quote from ME. More on that soon…. So, I looked up once again and noticed how not ever in these almost 10 years had I used the word celebrity or even famous in a title, not once. Hard to believe but true. It’s mentioned in my book and of course gets shared in these writings, but not in a title. Another first on my end, how about that?

OK, so back to that quote above. Of course they are people too but not with us regular folk lifestyle. My most recent dream depicted this while I was coming to Warrior’s aid. To preface, I’ve been doing some painting in our new home with more to come. Just touchups inside but our dining room needed a new coat on the one wall. Living room is next. I’ve tried many times to match with their leftover paint in the basement but to no avail, 😑 UGH! Looks like more paint is in order as the spot bugged me big time. So, just keep this in mind as I share the latest dream. I have to say though, I had not seen anything on TV or around that pertained to another celebrity in this dream. Nope, not at all and no prior “likability” factor in that way for this actor either.

Here it is…. In the dream I was married to the actor~~~ Owen Wilson with two kids! WHAT? Where did THAT come from? Sure, I love a lot of his movies, especially “ Wedding Crashers” but come on! No idea on this but that’s what I saw. Anyways, Warrior has come to live with us for a bit. No idea on that either as to the why? Was he a friend who became down on his luck after wrestling? It’s not like he was an exchange student through school or anything, ha! His look, though? That pic below, EXACTLY. So glad I found it again on media. The photo was taken before he got his arm tattoo that someone (as I still don’t know who…) took a pic of him in the chair. It has circulated for ages but I had to find it to use today.

My “husband,” ya know~~~ Owen Wilson seemed a little jealous with Warrior there, as I’m sure he connected to me somehow. I told him it’s all good, only a few days, no one will know, etc. The kids were young and loved having him around, but their “ Dad” was simply trying his best. Warrior was outside in our front yard working on a project. He looked like that pic, I’m telling ya readers. I think Owen was probably like Steve Carell’s character in “ Date Night” when he constantly says to Mark Wahlberg’s character: “ For the love of God, put on a shirt!” Do you know that movie? Oh, that could’ve been a great title today too! I disagree though… 🤭😂 What project was he doing you could be wondering? He was painting. Remember, he was an artist. This wasn’t quite the “masterpieces” you may know of him creating. What I saw was a wooden chair. Maybe it was some piece of furniture of his, no clue. I was chatting with him outside (no worries Owen…) but then we were discovered by photographers or the media of some kind. Warrior had been out of wrestling but there they were~~~ like paparazzi in my bushes just waiting to snap his photo.

He seemed to ignore them all or simply wave. I asked how he did that but he merely said he was used to it and being out of the business meant they had no real story to tell if he didn’t give one. He just kept painting as we talked. Didn’t know where Owen and the kids were but after a bit, I couldn’t take those cameras any longer. It was an invasion of Warrior’s privacy, and not to mention a home with a family. We never answered any of their questions about who I was, why he was there, or anything. I went over to our garden hose and sprayed them all soaking wet! Yep, I did! Warrior laughed, which was great and most fans know his laugh. 🤣 I said to them the title of today’s post and meant it along with another “speech” I prepared in my head! Here he was away from fame, just hanging out with a friend, painting a chair, 🪑 and not bothering anyone (unless Owen maybe…) The cameras left but who knows what “story” they reported back. We didn’t care. Warrior thanked me, although saying it wasn’t necessary. To me, it was and funny too!

The dream pretty much ended, but I know this message loud and clear~~~ except for Owen Wilson. 🤔😜 I can’t literally soak any naysayers but I will in my own way. At least I got to see Warrior doing something he loved~~~ painting. Yes, he did mostly people but I’ll take a chair. His days of getting hit with one were over, ha! *** Back to painting my house a moment. We finally did get some paint swatches to try our darndest to match. My husband’s shades were very different than mine but get this funny visual. I look at the last one he picked and there are 7 colors. Number 6 on the list is a chocolate brown called “ warrior.” Well, it won’t be that one but I of course had a little chuckle on the way home from the store. Number 6, figures right? One I did pick was called “ Notorious.” That’s a little extreme describing Warrior to me but many others might think so… 🫤 Perhaps all my painting projects caught up to me and then manifested in the dream with Warrior? It’s highly likely. I’m so glad I got the opportunity to send those photographers away all wet! Warrior sprayed some summer camp kids in a dream I had years ago, anyone remember that one? Guess it was my turn with spraying adults this time! 👏🏻

So yes, readers~~~ celebrities are people too, despite their lifestyles and choices. It’s so easy to get caught up in adulation but I’ve learned so much about this over all these decades of when I first started following anyone of fame. We can love who they are but then have to give respect for their own space as it’s a challenge for so many. You can be a fan but think of the situation in reverse. You’d want your private time too, but still want to be in the spotlight in someway, hopefully making a difference. We all do whether or not our picture is taken. Honestly, we as “fans” don’t need everything the celebs do on display, do we? For some, they might but I certainly don’t. Look, read, or listen to a little but then move on for a bit. You all might think I’m the opposite but I assure you, that is false. I honor Warrior always and then move forward with whatever else comes along that day. Thank you for being my “fans” and I promise, no one will get sprayed! Oh, I’ll let you know how the painting goes too…

P.S. So~~~ just when I thought I’d heard all the “ Firehouse” songs on my playlist, a new one came along recently. TOTALLY from Warrior, I just knew it. The title, lyrics, said it all. My, my, my… Wonder if I’ll hear it again? WOW… 😮 I made a joke with him saying that song goes both ways…. ‘😉 Nuff said on that!!!!

Make August Awesome! 🖤💛🩷

Welcome to August my readers! I hope it is awesome for you like this title suggests. UW did use that word often with his “words of wisdom” writings so it totally fits for today. You’ll see him below from one of his last matches in ‘96 but I love the jacket which was his comic book cover so it starts off this new month. A couple of shareables today but did any of you watch SummerSlam? I heard attendance has been down recently at WWE events but we shall see. I like CM Punk. I don’t totally follow everyone but glad he is in a better place now with the company. I love him and AJ Lee together as a couple too. Punk is definitely an older guy doing this wrestling thing so props to him for still being able to be at the top. I don’t however like Brock Lesnar. Never have. Didn’t he “retire” at WM with a crying ending?. Geez… 🙄 🤷🏻‍♀️

Onto other news. We have our 24th wedding anniversary on the 10th and dinner reservations for Saturday the 8th. It is quite the talked about place where we live with a beautiful outdoor space by the water. Our time is earlier so not a sunset view, but I’m hoping for no rain. It’s a gorgeous location where many weddings are held so we’re excited to go! We have walked around the area too. It should be awesome! 💕 🥂

Another awesome time (as I laughed yet again) happened most recently. Remember my July 4 story of the neighbor with the UW shirt? Well, this is a part two with Michael and his dog Lucy. Yes, I met him and her. *** Here’s the story. My husband and I were eating dinner outside on our patio and we see this guy starting to walk his dog over in the field to the right of us. We knew he lived around here as I’ve seen his bulldog. We think: “ oh, here comes that guy again with his dog…” We always wondered why he comes through the back part of people’s yards like that but guess you can in the green space. I could totally see his shirt yards away and almost choked on my food. Yep, it was that SAME blue UW shirt I saw him wear while mowing his lawn on July 4!!! I couldn’t believe it as I didn’t truly think I’d see him with it on quite so soon and coming towards me no less!

I could just hear Warrior saying: “ Now’s your second chance, don’t blow it!” No, he didn’t utter those words to me but one has to agree how he would definitely say that. 🤭 I waited for him to glance our way as I told my husband we can wave. He of course had no real reason as to my why. At least not in that second. Michael, (as he told us his name moments later), finally looked in our direction and I yelled out: “ I LOVE your shirt!” ! Then, husband knew. Michael shouted back: “ Yeah, big fan of wrestling back then!” He then asked if he could come our way to head back across the street. We obliged so then Michael, Lucy, and the shirt were right in front of us. We mostly talked about the neighborhood but he was familiar of where we used to live as he went to a local college over there. See, yet another awesome moment! I will still have to have a wrestling convo at some point as my husband did proceed to tell him how Warrior was (as I’m thinking still is) my favorite. We were just distracted by Lucy but shared memories of our dog Abby with him too.

After all this as they went on their way, we finished dinner and got into the house. One of the first things their dad tells the kids (who eat on their own time) was how Mom loved Michael’s shirt. Honestly, I wouldn’t have said anything but just kept that to myself. He seemed to be laughing but if he has other feelings about it, that’s on him. I find this stuff amusing but it doesn’t define my life with husband and kids. Nope, not defending anymore.

That takes us to the last awesome to start August. Yes, these all happened in July but you get to read them now. So, different dreams lately as this past full moon was intense. Did you see how golden it was? A few UW ones but mostly quick little glimpses. One however, seemed to linger. A year ago~~~ I had used the photo seen on IG of Warrior when he wrestled in Germany back in ‘93. It’s a great shot of him smiling with his long blonde hair wearing a Berlin Hard Rock Cafe shirt and hat. He looks so happy as I was thinking it was after a match? 🤔 Well~~~ in the dream, that’s how he appeared. I could see him in a store of some kind holding the UW wrestling buddy doll. He went up to the sales clerk and showed her. He was so proud yet very excited. Yes, I know those came out years prior but maybe someone had one in the store and he was going to sign it or something? I don’t know all that but just how I can witness enjoying all the emotion. He was thrilled to be there as I saw him laughing and having fun… It was great to be part of… 🥹 Another aspect of a dream still involved UW but also my husband. He knew there was (yet again…) another special on that I wanted to watch. I hope there isn’t any more in the future. No clue on what WWE was doing this time but I would be ready to see it. Maybe despite my guilt at times, it really isn’t such a big deal? Maybe I was being shown that in the dream with my husband being OK knowing I’m watching? Maybe that’s the message the universe wants to send. I thank my team and Warrior always. I truly believe those in spirit who connect to us are happy and want that for us so they come to visit to bring joy our way. Isn’t that awesome? I hope you believe as I do, but if not~~~ your choice. I have dreams of the living too with me, joining in on convos, gatherings, and everything in between. That’s my active dreaming state which has always been with me since childhood.

So warriors, I hope you can make August awesome with whatever comes your way. Pretty soon my kids will be back to their school studies and our last year of football is beginning. Five years of being part of watching my boy playing his college band will be coming to an end. That’s several months away so I’m not bringing all that forward just yet. 😳 I will have to for sure update you on any wrestling convos I may have with Michael. That should be awesome and truly ultimate! Enjoy your day warriors and I will connect next week… 🙋🏻‍♀️😎💪🏻

P.S. I did watch part of the Seth Rollins/ Roman Reigns match. I thought that was an incredible ending! I’m also glad Chelsea Green won as she deserves it…

Warrior Writing Tags

We have made it to the end of July readers. My, this summer is going fast but here we have had MUCH going on in lots of ways and hopefully soon, things will finally settle down some. Are you feeling the season slipping away with busyness or is that just the norm for you? I’m not sure about all but I need a break and I know it’s coming. I also know wrestlers don’t get much breaks but that’s not my career of course. You will see that pic of UW below when he was IC champ although a different pose than I’ve previously used. There he is to end the month… 💛🖤🤍

Lately, I decided to look at my site in another way as it was something being on my mind a while. At the end, you might notice tags if you are familiar. I’m sure we all know those hashtags so I use some that are common but then others of my choosing. OK, those might not be searchable but that’s fine. Over these almost 10 years, let’s just say there are and were plenty. I then thought if I truly wanted to do this since it might be time consuming. 😳 You know me, though~~~ I’ll do it despite the time constraints. I wanted so many deleted but by using the app, some areas are restricted. Shoot on that since I rarely use the laptop much less a PC desktop anymore. I tried and tried, but to no avail on my own. I asked WordPress for help, but as usual~~~ it’s beyond my comprehension since I’m not always computer literate. Also, I googled the exact same thing so really WordPress? How are you helpful to me then? 🤦🏻‍♀️

You all experienced are probably laughing at me but don’t worry, it gets better at this point. I was determined and kept going but then decided to tag in (pun intended!) a new partner. How about I actually~~~ for the first time in ages~~~ enter my website into the browser on the PC and approach this task from another angle? Once there, I could enter my username and password to then proceed with how to delete those mostly unused tags of years prior. Remember when I referenced AI a few weeks back regarding photos and images? It’s everywhere I know, but I’m not that girl who looks myself up very often. I did Google in the beginning just to see what would pop up and how. It showed this site, (of course) my other website named after the book “ Spirit and Belief” which no longer exists, and all the posts. To clarify~~~ the old website is off-line, not the book. 📗 It also showed my YouTube channel where I did post many videos about Warrior in the past but not so much anymore. It was cool seeing all that but unlike other published authors with many books out there, it’s a rarity for me. Now is that day once again, years later.

Back then, there was no AI so this was new to see and read. How do you like that? My work is there with some interesting comments I will share. No, I don’t expect you all to look me up on my site so I will list a few. I may have written about searching my name personally as there are several “Kathy Pickett’s,” but this time it was my writing instead.

Without more of a delay in this match, I will summarize some tidbits of how AI categorized my writings: “ personal blog created by an intuitive author exploring her psychic gifts and spiritual connection with WWE legend the Ultimate Warrior.” It goes on to say my book is a : “ companion space to her published book ‘Spirit and Belief,’ and featuring weekly musings, spiritual insights, and wrestling memories.” One more note to add as the blog covers, (according to AI), Ultimate Warrior, ( duh!) spirituality, energy work, personal vistas, etc… What are personal vistas? Well that gets “roped” into pop culture as this was written also. It can explore how one views life, goals, and experiences. My goodness~~~I couldn’t have said it better myself. Wow, thanks AI as I underestimated that one. Here are a few of my favorite lines. I’ll start with the word legend because~~~ um~~~ yes readers he was and his. My next fave is the term “weekly musings” is that kind of made me laugh. The last one to make it a 3 count is the term “personal vistas”, which I thought seemed a creative choice of phrases. I never would’ve thought all this to be true despite my initial reaction to AI. I know it’s not decidedly “real”, but I must say, pretty accurate with the work I have put out there.

I do know many of your readers do not have a blog, website, book, or even a podcast, but I do not look myself up in this way. Again~~~ it was the work and not my personal name. My name was never even listed at all! I do, however, check my daily stats through the app a few times a day. It’s always been cool to see numbers and countries. I have been so educated and informed with who reads what and possibly who returns week after week. No, I do not know people by name as they do update from time to time, but I am able to navigate it pretty well.

This post might sound like a brag fest, but I assure you newbies (who may not be aware…) it is not. My husband loves ChatGPT and I rarely use that as well. Sure, it’s super helpful and I know you all are getting on board but I just don’t like to rely on anything too much. Just like deleting those tags, I figured out myself after a long while similar when in October 2016, as I first started the process of writing. I did watch a video (with a PowerPoint no less), ugh… but turned instead to just reading and then copying down steps from a woman blogger who I mention in my book. Yes, I know I’m stubborn and seldom ask for help unless fully needed. I am that independent type who likes to be self-taught similar to someone else… a legend perhaps? 🤔

So, warriors~~~ you have my latest experience with those dated tags on this blog as I wrap up in July. I hope any of you fellow writers out there show me some understanding in spite of my tech challenges. I love to learn though and do. No boasting, just sharing as I like to do best. I’m not IC champ with these writings but I hope to be the winner in your match every week. See (at least in someway) you all in August! From: your weekly muser… 😂

P.S. A few tags I ALWAYS use and continue to do so. You can probably guess. A clue is the same top 2..

Always Rise Above 💙

Yes~~~ dear friends, I am back with a more compelling and interesting topic this week. I honestly thought I had used that word of “rise” in some title over the years but nope, I had not. At least not when I checked, which was just once. So, it comes forward as a result of my favorite female emailer whose little red book 📕 I read a few years back. It also got its own post then but her stories just compel me spiritually every single time. Not religious mind you but like previously noted, I read her OUT LOUD… Warrior said to do this with important stuff and I do. Some words totally echoed as I related to them in a different way than necessarily how she was referencing. I still connect and I hope you do too however it fits or works. For me, it is felt beyond the physical which is typical with her writings. I will make it relatable to my writings because it’s what I do with you all in this arena of words.

Always rise above. What does that mean for you? Do you recognize the importance of those words and truly apply them in your life? It’s simple yet hard in many ways like an easier said than done moment. You might be thinking : “ yeah right Kathy, whatever…” or insert eye rolling 🙄 even. I get it because words on a page aren’t actions until we make them so. How can we do this? Well, let me share her story and then see if after reading~~~ you may have an idea on your own. If not, that’s OK as I will offer my versions with being my own warrior woman like I need to be.

She is speaking of a certain woman in history here, but it applies today~~ it truly does. Let’s begin…. “ In the absence of (someone’s) physical presence, she rises.” OK, you can insert names here or even add we or he when reading. Here’s more… “ Do not weep, do not be distressed nor be in doubt. For his grace will be with you sheltering you. Rather, we should praise his greatness, for he has united us…” All right, another one you can infer. She was relating to someone famous who passed away as I do too. If anyone wants to associate a creator force or God on this do so if it resonates. I however will go the Warrior way because it’s my mission with you all. I know it might sound deep but think about it if you are, were, or consider yourself a fan of Warrior. The Ultimate Warrior character fits as well for just a moment. I know it seems like I’m from another planet 🪐 to some of you, but I just might be like many thought of UW! Just stay in this match with me if you can. I promise we all will be winners!

I’m just going to list all the quotes and then explain how we rise, or me, you, and anyone who chooses to. Will you “ become the voice of love even in the absence of it?” Can you rise above it all? No matter how we are ranked (like most readers could predominantly be men,) we are all worthy to rise and become united. United as fans, whether of UW’s, wrestling, spiritual thinking, or anything else you relate with this blog.

We align with something bigger than ourselves that’s not of our comprehension. I’m paraphrasing here. It can be the afterworld or belief systems. Any of your choosing. Be gentle with what you have yet to learn, know, or discover. Some we may have figured out but then others, not so much. I know as a woman “fan” of UW’s (while not truly a minority, but still treated like one in many ways,) I have risen above. My work is primarily with men. I might’ve been overlooked or not considered “important” enough by some in the past, but not now. Not now with all I have done keeping his messages going but in a new, womanly way. I didn’t care about fame, money, or getting noticed in certain ways but only by those who truly understand. Yes, success can be defined differently but specific attentions were never my ultimate goal.

Here’s another quote and of course it doesn’t fit EXACTLY but I’m sure you loyalists know… “ It’s the one that cared to be there, always, by his side… even in death.” Yeah, it’s extreme but it’s me in many ways concerning Warrior with ideas I cannot discuss although her person is someone entirely different naturally. PAUSE… *** Well, that summarizes the quotes from her always super intoxicating yet personal emails regarding those folks in history. Are you confused? I hope not too much as interpreting looks complicated to many who truly can’t associate. Even if you can’t connect with Warrior, take another that perhaps has passed on and see if they fit. Do you carry their messages along and rise above despite them physically being gone?

Of course we all do but how is the question. What I do is not what you might consider, and with a famous person~~~ no doubt. Let’s altogether celebrate one’s life, lived with greatness and not to define it by sadness or anger. They want so much more for us once we finally are able to get there. Move through it all with grace uniting those who accept you with compassion.

You might not believe you were called to such a powerful purpose, but it is there if you choose to accept that role. No, it really isn’t for us all but for me, it was and still is. It is with so much responsibility and risk but one I decided needed to be brought forth, despite naysayers or even my own doubts of authenticity. UW had millions of fans and still does so if you are one, how do you rise above? It takes time, patience, and action to find out your hows, which I cannot truly answer for you. Even if wanting to honor someone you loved, how can you rise or do you want to? I’m not saying you have to write, be on a podcast, or expose anything but just remember to not be swayed by those who may not get your story. It won’t be for all as mine aren’t either. Rising above in any form takes so much courage like warriors need to have. He rose above haters and bosses and a business at times to be better in other ways. He then knew how to meet others where they were at, and wanted to keep legacies alive. I will continue to rise above in all that I do because deep down, I am my own warrior. In his physical absence, I will rise always… 🙏🏻🤍

P.S. Just a random pic of UW today in his early years with the WWF.

*** “ Ultimate Warrior KNOCKS out Sting” 💪🏻💪🏻

OMG Warriors! 💪🏻💙🧡

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… 🤣

A Personal Touch 💪🏻❤️

Hi there, readers and warriors! I hope all of you are doing well wherever you are today and enjoying this season in July as the year moves forward. You will notice that pic of Dingo Warrior below and yes, I do realize it is AI. I actually am not 💯% certain but like I’ve said before, it doctors faces which I don’t particularly enjoy. This pic of DW though isn’t bad so I decided using it today. I did some checking (once more) and realized I had not used a Dingo pic since last year! It was my final post of 2025 so guess he makes another appearance months later! We’ll see what other photos come my way as this month progresses…

So, I will update as I do on here and this time it concerns the lunch date with my hairdresser. We DID discuss the possibility of me being a “ghost writer” on her life story. We both looked up info and payment, which is what I would deserve on a project of this size. I found out SO much more about her life and it’s definitely book worthy for sure. I might just be a consultant with her, but she is interested in getting my professional opinion on writing, formatting, and editing. I’m excited as this moves along but still honored she considers me important enough to work on her memoir alongside many personal memories. The other reason I bring this topic to our arena today is another comment which touched me. I had sent her my latest episode of “ The Ultimate Truth” podcast debating Warrior vs. Sting/ and WWF vs WCW.

She was so funny with what she said. 😂 Even though she has no idea about wrestling, who the guys were, or anything similar, she still watched to see ME because I’m her friend. I appreciate it because totally do I understand how challenging it is watching or even listening to something you might not be familiar with. That’s another reason why our episodes are short and to the point because many may lose interest as that is society today. I received several compliments from her saying how it’s such a great fit for me and I seem so comfortable in that role. Her words expressed my natural ability and easy-going way with speaking. 🥹There are times when I’m so nervous yet still super excited all at once. She assured me that is not obvious and shared how it’s such a passion she could totally perceive. I really appreciated that from her. Again, I know we have gotten close, but I do know she’d be honest. From someone who isn’t into wrestling at all, she gave up some time to listen and watch, so I am grateful. I’m sure episodes will be released soon as a few more have been taped. Thank you to ALL fans who not only watch or listen but also leave comments, follow, share, like, or even hype the videos. I hope you keep watching the channel at “ The Masters of Wrestling/ Ultimate Truth” Podcast. She also bought my book 📗 so I can’t wait to hear her views on * MY* stories!

So readers, what do you leave a personal touch upon? If anyone ever wants to share their stories with me, you are welcome to contact through this site as I enjoy your thoughts on these writings. Also, especially if wanting to discuss Ultimate Warrior moments or memories as I treasure those. Inspirational ones that is and not trolling as those are not and will not be accepted. Just about every email I get with a personal message~~~ I have kept. Yes, I have. I print them out and save in my box of journals. No, they are not frequent but anyone who takes time out of their busy schedule to send me a note, is purely ultimate to me. I would not be able to keep up with the sheer volume of responses Warrior himself got over the years or at least without help but little ‘ol me can do just fine. I do respond to most as well. One of the few I never answered was a guy who simply just stated: “ Hi WWE.” No, not worth me clarifying that!

I try my best always bringing you my personal touch here every week and sometimes like now, I have downtime. That’s OK for things to slow down some as we need those breaks from BIG news happening whether it’s in the world of WWE (ha!) or even Warrior’s World. My brother doesn’t contact me much anymore about wrestling so basically, unless the 80s guys post the latest~~~ I am out of the squared circle on all that. Honestly, it suits me because other “stuff” is more important. At least in my life, you can feel different. If you are a wrestling fan and want all the gossip, guess you’ll have to go somewhere else to get the latest. My bro and I aren’t that personal anymore as some energy changes overtime but it’s all good. If he wants to share, he will so I don’t push.

I always hope you all put a personal touch or give it your best in everything you do. I love sharing stories when I have them and that’s my favorite aspect of these writings. Oh, I have had a few short and silly dreams concerning Warrior lately but nothing too personal. I could see myself watching a small TV and UW giving promos. They’re all mixed up and I saw “Queen Sherri” in one too. I sure hope it wasn’t a certain interview I am thinking of January 1991! 😳I couldn’t tell but I’m referencing UW’s answer to her which was: “ NOOOOO!” You all fans can probably guess that one. For some reason, I didn’t want anyone to see me watching which is still typical as I guess as it never truly leaves me in a way. My TV was kind of hidden from others around but nobody noticed at all. It was really happening so fast, I couldn’t totally tell what was going on. Well, at least he was there in some form, reminding me of that great Golden Era of the WWF I loved so much! I will always win that match… 🥰

OK readers, that slams everything I had this week as I give it my personal touch like only I can, ha ha ha. Who knows when another HUGE story will come along but I hope you got tagged into this one, even if just for a little while. It is the ultimate challenge giving things our personal best but unless we do some, no one will even remember us or care. Warrior gave A LOT of himself but then didn’t as well on another level. It’s that Warrior neutrality he had which contributed to his mystique and a big reason why true fans loved it so much. Until next time, be personal when you need but still hold back some too. And, if you’d like to connect~~~ just remember, I am not WWE! I thank you all for being your personal selves with me always.

P.S. The “ LeJeNdary Figures” podcast I recorded with Babyface Brian will be posted here soon! I am excited to share it with you all!! 😊👍🤞🏻

Jacked up for July 💪🏻

Hey there warriors and welcome to this brand new month! Are you “jacked” up for July? We are in the first official month of summer where I am in the US but it might be different for you. We also are having some super 🥵 HOT days right now too. Only fitting though how Ultimate Warrior below has some patriotic colors within his arm ties for the photo today. In just 3 days, the US will celebrate its Independence Day but also here’s that word again~~~ another milestone. Our country will mark its 2️⃣5️⃣0️⃣th anniversary to lots of events happening this weekend across our states. Living in a new area, we needed to do some homework (even in the summer…) to find out celebrations over here. There’s a 🍓 strawberry festival, a cardboard boat ⛵️race, and the local water skiing team will be putting on a show! I’m excited to see that for sure. I haven’t seen waterskiers like that since I was a kid and we went to Seaworld. Glad to be near a lake, although not a great one of Erie like before. Now, all we need are fireworks 🎆 and it’s all set. I’m excited or should I say “ jacked” for all these events I hope to get out to see. Whatever your plans, just be safe warriors while having fun.

Oh, last week was the first time so far all year I had used the word ultimate in a title. Almost 7 months, man that might be a record but had to check anyway. Speaking of checking on other things, I wanted a word to get “roped” into the word of July and finally saw one that fit perfectly. I of course know this word as I’m sure you do too but wanted to see specific examples or references ya know~~~ just for fun. Well, guess whose name was listed with certain other wrestlers regarding that term? Yep, or I wouldn’t be sharing now would I? The thing is, when I went back to look again I couldn’t specifically remember the site so no luck finding UW again, darn. Women athletes were listed too. There are other meanings of jacked besides being muscular or in training. I know the wrestlers use it a lot or at least they used to anyways. I rarely did but Warrior would in some interviews. He said “blown up” more but jacked is common.

Is there something in your life now warriors that gets you jacked up? Another mention for me is that I will be a guest very soon on an “ 80’s Wrestling the Podcast” buddy who has his very own show. He paints and then repaints LJN wrestling figures for profit and is incredible! A few of the other guys have been guests but they wondered when my turn would be?! 😳 As previously said many times on here by me, I’m not a wrestling “encyclopedia” like he is, but I give it my best. If you are a fan of LJN’s or simply mostly 80s figures and nostalgia~~~ check him out where you get your podcasts. It’s called: “ LeJeNdary Wrestling Figures” hosted by Babyface Brian. I’m excited to get a chance to rate some figures and share my projects as well. He’s done this podcast 3 years and his painting is just an incredible talent. Give him a listen and I’ll share details soon of my time on the show!

See, we don’t need to refer to the term “jacked” with a physicality at all, do we? Yes, that’s it’s original meaning but it is more excitement for me here. What moments in life come to mind when you think of that word? I hope they’re positive but honestly, I rarely have ever used the word jacked but if you are into fitness, you probably have. With fitness I mean becoming conditioned like a pro athlete or a bodybuilder and not us regular folks like me with yoga and light cardio. I hope you just don’t use it for things that get wrecked or stolen but I guess that can apply too.

As a wrestling fan, am sure many of you readers have several moments in WWF(E) history which got you jacked up over the years or even now. I know I have A LOT and my number one would be (of course!) WMVI because of so many reasons. There’s excitement but also nerves of emotion, doubt, anxiety, and all mixed in. Let’s just say that “ JACKED” feeling changed dramatically after UW’s unprecedented victory that afternoon. I was more than jacked after that!!! But, even if the outcome doesn’t go our way~~~ we will still bring our feelings to that squared circle every time. Every single time, am I right? Realistically, we should feel what we want because it’s all part of human nature and not caring would be unhuman. We are allowed all the stuff, but it’s just in how we follow through which matters most. You can get jacked up over something, but then what? Deciding on the next move is all up to you, dear readers.

As we begin month 7 already, yikes~~~ discover what in your life is a good feeling of getting jacked up in a way. Even if everything happens at once, the good is there waiting for you to start that match. You can have lots on your plate of “to dos” but wrestle each one separately, no double teaming. You’ll be much more productive that way, trust me. When I take on too much, my body responds and not in a good way. After several days in our new home, I needed a nap! 😴 I honored that even though there was and still is lots more to do. Like the saying goes: “ Rome wasn’t built in a day” and we aren’t human doings, were human beings. We have been here now a little over a month as this time just ran by like UW used to do. I’m still jacked up for many things since it’s a good feeling being in a new environment with new situations. Our family needed this move. It’s still one day at a time though.

Well, warriors~~~ I’m ending this match for our first week of July. Whatever your list of events, feel that excitement of being jacked over things that suit you. We need that, we truly do. I wish you all in the US a happy 250th celebration of our Country’s independence as that’s worth getting jacked up for too! Oh, and check out “ LeJeNdary Wrestling Figures” podcast hosted by Babyface Brian ! Notice the spelling of the word legendary…

P.S. Happy Birthday 🇺🇸 America! ❤️🤍💙🎉🧨🎇 AND thank you~~~ Warrior for encouraging others with inspiration to get “ JACKED” up in their own lives for the better.

The Ultimate Returns

First off, I hope any Dads reading today had a great Father’s Day last week! Hopefully, you got some much needed attention and rest. I’m sure Warrior’s girls sent him their love in their own way as well. 🩷🩷

You will see that image of UW below after winning his “ King of the Ring” match in June 1996 against Jerry Lawler. I wanted the aftermath of when W went over to the Crown 👑 and picked it up, waving his hand like “no way!”Vince’s laugh is always hysterically funny listening to as I never tire when hearing it. I wanted to give that time a mention on here since yet once again, another milestone. 3️⃣0️⃣ years this summer marked the end of UW’s final run with the then WWF, which didn’t finish all too well. I truly believe he wanted to come back under different terms, promote his University, comic books, and such but just have a brief appearance. He wanted to also make an impact which did happen but without those other guys from the Golden Era, he had to be the leader or mentor for the Next Generation or Attitude Era. Most fans know some of what transpired but Warrior still wanted to stick to his own principles, despite management and business decisions.

I just always thought it to be quite ironic how just a year later in 1997, Vince came back to Warrior with a bigger and better offer. What does THAT tell you? Were they desperate for a big name so much after many of the “older” talent jumped ship to Ted Turner’s WCW? Warrior turned down that very lucrative offer so again, what does that say on HIS end? You can come to your own conclusion on this readers. Despite all this, I want to still remember UW’s 1996 run with the WWF positively as fans loved his return and were excited to see him years later.

The other stat to add here as well is that when Ultimate Warrior returned in ‘96, it was the highest rating RAW had seen in quite a while, huge numbers actually so once more something to think about. He still could draw, even after long absences with the company as fans craved his undeniable presence. Yes, he came and went with little or no explanation to those behind their TV screens but for him~~~ all his own reasons. We can disagree all we want but that’s just how it was back then. Did Warrior have some regrets over it all? Possibly as years went on like many of us do over choices made but at the time, he decided what was right for him.

Here’s a little bit of me tagged or “roped” in with this concept for a moment. When I get ready to record the “ Ultimate Truth” podcast, I usually bring my UW action figure and wear either my Warrior girl tank or my UW sweatshirt. The figure (which has its own story…) has been in my possession for years as many know along with the tee now having many as well. The sweatshirt is only a few years old but they return. No, not long absences like UW himself, ha~~~ but the former two would be quite dormant if not for me bringing them back. I’ve been known to bring that action figure to my meditation “arena” at times but not always. Here’s the funny connected with my daughter.

She sees my “gear” of choice out the other day before recording and says to me: “ I saw your figurine out. Awww, he’s so cute!” She’s endearing… I have to agree though! 😉 First, it’s not a FIGURINE as I equate that with some porcelain type of object but LOVE how she acknowledged. Second, she probably meant him being cute because of the size, idea, and all that. Not in the purely physical way. 🤭 I then proceeded to tell her the story about finding it at my preschool job and then~~ 🤫 SHH~~~ stealing it. I said the story is in my book, (“ Spirit and Belief”) plug here, but I never fully shared that with her. I explained my reasons of course but honestly, it’s not technically like taking something from a store, ha ha! So, now she knows more about my action figure, how it sat untouched for years, and now makes returns to my own squared circle for his matches! She also saw my Warrior girl tee hanging up after being washed and asked why I don’t wear it much. Well, I did after first purchasing on the authentic UW website and gear shop back then. I wore it when working out or going to yoga sometimes. I’m not intimidated, but it is slightly tight in the chest area. I can accentuate the “ girls” but not always in public!!! 😲 It’s reserved for special occasions, but does make a return when I see fit (no pun intended!)

Do any of you warriors out there have things or objects that seem to make returns from time to time? Maybe it’s not a big deal but it does happen for many reasons. It could even be a person who isn’t always in your life, but then returns, albeit briefly for whatever reason. I mean your personal people and not a reference to Warrior here. Possibly you find yourself at a place once dominated years back and now you’ve returned…. Think about those times in your own life, which have made ultimate returns or even comebacks to use another word. I bet you can relate if you truly want.

Warrior himself went out to Santa Fe, New Mexico years prior and then eventually settled there once again with his family of girls. Heck, look at his return to WWE after the 18 year long absence. That’s been discussed, but I wanted to focus more on his ‘96 run and it just went from there. Sometimes, that return of a person, place, or thing works for us but sometimes it does not. You will know if that real feeling is there and if you want it to stay. It may not even be by our own choosing but our responses will be. I’m sure fans were so happy to see UW back in the ring after being gone 3.5 years but then unfortunately~~~ a few months later, he seemed to vanish without a trace once again. I understand more now but then again, I never watched once they switched to cable so had no idea really. My only connection was my brother so if he found out anything, I’d be the first to know.

We don’t always need explanations or to become defensive when thinking about returns in such ways. I didn’t have to even share the stories with my girl about my UW stuff either. We feel the need but realistically, it’s not always necessary. Our free will decides all this for us. So warriors, what makes ultimate returns in your life and in what ways? Can you control it or not? If you can, make it truly memorable because that’s how it should be. The good and the bad are part of it all. Let’s just keep the good more. I know I am. It’s not just a T-shirt or action figure either. Make your ultimate returns count because they truly do!
