The Three Titans 💪🏻

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! 🦅😂

Kathy’s “ Rivalries” Review… 😬

Yes, I used my name in a title! Another first I just had to go with of last week. This is a VENTING or RANTING post so if you aren’t an Ultimate Warrior fan, this might not be a read for you today. No need for trolls here… I once again~~~ did not want to talk this SH*T but it’s recent so here goes. It concerns the A & E “ WWE Rivalries” which aired Sunday, March 2 between UW and Hulk Hogan. Like I have said before~~~ I can be unbiased and am at times but for this episode, it just brought confusion and disappointment. 😑Most of it was recycled material from the past with obviously very little new info. Here are my thoughts and you can disagree if you wish but really, I’m sure others share in this very strong opinion.

Let’s start at the beginning. How about the commentators or “hosts” if you will. I understand their “ Superfan” there and Cody being the champ but Kevin Nash? Seriously? He couldn’t stand UW so getting him to “make nice” just for ratings is totally wrong. Maybe he was there because of the Hogan angle, who knows? Perhaps WWE needs to give these legends work but they should choose wisely. Natalya as well was a surprise. Are these the same people every week? I don’t know since I don’t watch. They need a woman there possibly and her family is from Canada where WMVI was held but still…. Gosh, I can be on a panel with those standards and I wasn’t a little kid when they had that rivalry, ha! It’s maybe just to take whoever or give their thoughts and stats on events so not sure but I was shaking my head. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Next, Paul Heyman who truly has that voice which bellows and is very dramatic. That part is fine as I am NOT bashing him. Then, they showed younger pics of UW as a teen or boy as we hear Paul’s words detailing Jim Hellwig’s troubled past. OK, that’s been said and showed before as we get a glimpse into why Jim wanted success. Their understanding could be also for new viewers who have not seen any of these shows. For them, it would be a first time. My concern about it is the * RIVALRY* aspect. If you’re going to show Jim’s past, what about Terry’s? Where are younger pics of Hulk and why don’t we hear his story? His background could be quite “boring” as Warrior had said about “ Hulkamania” , ha ha! I’m sure it has been shown in other bios, ( of course…) but would’ve worked well for this one discussing them BOTH. 🙄

Speaking of Hulk, a statement he said about the HOF saddened me and I so hope it isn’t true. If it is, I have lost some respect for him so very biased on this. He had said something like how much he wanted to speak to Warrior as we know and the convo that happened between them. What sucker punched me to the gut is when he made the comment about how he had to talk to Warrior because he looked so frail and weak. I do hope he had other reasons but it seemed like that was his 1st reason. I believe I can get corrected on that as Hulk isn’t a terrible person, but I don’t like many of his discussions or innuendos and those feelings have been there from me for years. He puts his foot in his mouth so to speak A LOT and it irks me about certain topics… Many do know Warrior did not look well, but don’t let his physical state be the * ONLY* reason you approached him. It’s just so frustrating to me always. Please correct me if I am wrong..,

Another point is THAT DVD from 2005 (which I won’t mention the title) that of course needed to be spoken about. I do realize the ugly stuff had to be part of these rivalries but are they serious though? That DVD was put out as Vince’s retaliation with Warrior’s lawsuits and it had nothing to do with the rivalry between him and Hulk. Yes, HH spoke on that DVD, but it was only produced because of Vince’s anger and seemed irrelevant to that particular episode despite it needing to come forward in other bios.

Isn’t Triple H the producer of these shows? To me, it was just another smear job on UW. I do understand how the “apology” was also part of it but they seem to forget all the GOOD the character of UW brought to WWF (E) for his brief times there. I can’t even think of anything positive they showed except for a few comments but like I said~~~ Kevin Nash I’m sure meant none of the positivity. Maybe I will try to view it again to see a different take as it’s just so upsetting. I also hope Triple H still has respect for Warrior and that it just wasn’t 11 years ago. Maybe this is a sign for me to not watch any of their Warrior content moving forward as my excitement just turns to despair. 😔

Hulk Hogan is still their “star” and I know he probably was upset with Warrior’s YouTube video on him years ago as that did become quite negative. I will say Warrior did go off a little too much but don’t we all at times? Some of it was actually quite comical to me though. 😂 Karma DID come back as W said. Hulk had called W a “ flash in the pan” and a “ zero” on that DVD. W got his revenge with his video in a way. Just my take on it… Hulk is not a “saint” and yet they are treating him like one these days after much animosity for years. All guilt based for sure. They can be that way as it’s right for the company but there are other issues to contend with.. It’s similar to Eric Bischoff’s statements for the millionth time about Warrior’s run in WCW of late ‘98. THEY contacted him, not the other way around to return. Did Eric really think Warrior would follow the “rules” exactly? Get over it already and let’s talk about something else instead of the same old thing!

One of these days, I wish a more uplifting series can be done but it would be without much footage unless someone gets in WWE’s back pocket. I understand ratings, but they act like Warrior was the devil 😈 or something and it’s just very unfortunate to his legacy, impact, and millions of fans all over…. *** That’s it~~~ vent and rant done. Like below, UW’s eyes will always be looking to those who loved and continue to love him…

P.S. F*CK what they think or do (to use a Warrior word.) Onto better news next week for sure! You won’t get an “apology” video from me, ever… 🤬

The Best and Worst 🤔

Hey now, warriors~~~ don’t let that title get you all confused as of course I will explain. Here’s the beginning of Charles Dickens’s classic novel: “ A Tale of Two Cities.”

“ It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness…”

It goes on but you probably get the idea, at least maybe a little. Sometimes the best and worst are the same in many ways. I had written “ Coming Full Circle” about a starting point which becomes an ending point, but this is a little different. Yes, bad can become good which I’ve also stated but how about your best (person, place, thing, event, etc.) also quite possibly being your worst?

As my US friends will be celebrating Thanksgiving here tomorrow, we need to be grateful for it all because they are lessons we have to learn in order to evolve on this journey. We might not know the why for a long while or even ever but need to trust the process and listen to our instincts like Warrior always preached. Our strengths can be our weaknesses as you might be saying: “huh?” A strong belief of yours can also become a challenge if others don’t agree which might ostracize you. Yep, a reference to Warrior once again but many readers I bet can relate as well.

Think about his time in the WWF. No E because his years were not that letter until 2014. Warrior’s best match was beating Hulk at WMVI (although he loved working with Randy) but his worst match was ALSO with Hulk. I won’t get into details but let’s recall WCW’s Halloween Havoc ‘98. Both guys admitted in interviews how bad that was as I will firmly attest. See, Warrior and Hulk were not meant to have a rematch 8️⃣ years later because look at what happened! Even Warrior’s years in the business could be described with references of being best at times and even worst at times. We can think of memories and moments from many matches, promos, and even his history with Vince. We take it all~~~ the good and bad. We don’t want to think of best and worst being the same in our thoughts but there are those situations where it truly can be depicted that way. It’s like how we can’t have light without darkness. Always that ☯️ yin/ yang pull every day if you are familiar with that expression which Warrior also spoke of.

I can think of a few things that could be considered the best and worst. How about the Internet? What a great invention having access to so much information available at any time through our fingertips. That’s the best concept for sure. Then, there’s the worst part of it. Cyber bullying, social media rants, and way too many apps out there if you ask me. We have it all and yet again, everything will constantly evolve as it does. Time is another example. We get excited in certain passages of time and can’t wait for some events so that can be the best, right? It’s like how Christmas morning is for the little ones coming soon…. The flipside is dreading time because of upcoming circumstances or even family gatherings and sad anniversaries for some. It can be the worst as time looms near for something one dreads.

Really though~~~ this idea today is one that can be totally objective. The best and worst is with ourselves. We can love who we are and what we do but then again become our own worst critic all at once. The battle is within every day to do what we can and know we are fighting like warriors. Sometimes, we do need to surrender if a plan isn’t working but there will always be other wars. You always get to choose which side. Please pick *** YOU*** because your life counts. There are the best and worst times (kind of like those old wedding vows…) but your responses will carry you through.

When first deciding on this topic, where do you think my thoughts went? My mind and heart too, of course. Yep, I’m sure you readers know. Warrior was at the top of my list but then I HATED all that. Using the word “worst” to describe him was not gonna happen and still totally isn’t. The best is still even extreme. I mean, that would take away from my life with my family and I’m not doing that. Well, you regulars probably will know where I’m headed on this. The best and worst with Warrior aren’t just my wrestling memories but spiritually speaking in so many, many ways. 🥹 I have written most of them but once the worst kind of experiences were behind me, the best got explained and boy ~~~ did it ever. I even struggled as a teen and thought how this (meaning UW) was so strong~~~ not physically but I struggled to contain it. What a journey it has been and still is. It’s one I’m on and will be on but it does take years with lots of patience… ❤️‍🩹

Can you think of your own best and worst being one and not many? That’s a toughie but I’ll let you answer it when you can or even if you can. Whatever your answer is, just believe how labels don’t have to matter. It’s just what is and how we classify all as being. Our brains respond better that way but our soul knows more. Try to remain neutral and see where it takes you. One of my mantras is to practice neutrality but it’s one I need a daily reminder of. ***. Enjoy tomorrow’s day of giving thanks to my US readers. The best and worst will be around but just decide what defines both. Be grateful for all that is and make your time work for you. It will if you allow it in.

P.S. Last selfie for a while! Hard to believe next week’s post brings December. Oh~~~ while typing out the WCW memories with Hulk, I got a loud ringing in my right ear. Thank you Warrior as always. 💙

And, Happy Survivor Series weekend to any fans out there!

Fascinating… yet Ruthless🤬

That title fits for sure. I absolutely had to use some words describing and yet pertaining to it after all, didn’t I? What is she talking about anyways you may ask? I bit the bullet and it hit me HARD… The Ultimate Warrior’s face down below says it all but really~~~ my face was much more contorted. I watched it. All 6 episodes of ” Mr. McMahon,” Netflix’s docu series recently released. Once I watched one, I had to keep going right? One of the words I kept using when texting my brother was “fascinating.” You can apply that word either positive or negative, but I meant indifferent. The other word of “ruthless” fits as Vince McMahon became synonymous with that expression but it also connected to John Cena with while quoting his boss became ” ruthless aggression!” I had finished watching after my bro, imagine that? There’s just a few points I am going to make that DO involve Warrior believe it or not. I also think it’s a 3 count so that fits too. They have to involve Warrior because then today it would be my Mr. McMahon writings and that is not what I am doing. 

Where to begin? Let’s start with the EMF song ” Unbelievable” from 1991. You know what they say in that song? You will from me soon. For fans of UW, we can all agree on this. That infamous 2005 DVD directed at him needs to be redirected at Vince or Mr. McMahon, whatever he prefers to call himself. Yep, that’s what he did. Professionally, not entirely as us fans and the performers owe much to him but business did play a huge part along with his personal life. That’s bad karma coming back with an ultimate vengeance. *** SPOILER ALERTS*** coming so read if you wish. Here are some parts that made me want to shake more than ropes if you know what I mean. I literally was saying WTF (like the song) over and over while screaming at my TV. 🫨 This was only mostly about the first few episodes. My rant wasn’t probably what you could be thinking about all the BIG stuff most fans know already. There were a few I wasn’t entirely aware of, but let me share my fits of inner rage. I’m not objective on any and will defend Warrior on these.

Vince said how he disliked the term “pro wrestling.” That was new for me to hear. He prefers “entertainment,” which is what they became with being the WWE. It is true, but isn’t that what the UW character was doing? I won’t get into previous posts of me going on about “technical” wrestling or entertaining, but how FASCINATING that Warrior gets gutted much in the wrestling media and by former talent for being exactly what Vince was changing the company into. OK, he was the boss while Warrior wasn’t naturally, but can you see where I’m going with this? He’ll get a pass if you will because he can say that but Warrior years ago could not? WTF indeed. 🤯Vince and Warrior had some similarities in their lives as I’ve said before. They both needed a character to release in a way but all of Warrior’s extreme disciplines or beliefs are tame in my opinion to how Vince led his life. BTW, I always thought Vince would’ve made a great choice for those ” 10 Most Fascinating People” specials hosted by Barbara Walters years ago. Remember those?

Let’s move on with some moments from Vince’s talent over the years. Hulk Hogan. Yeah, he was their brand and solidified WWF on the pop culture map indefinitely. I will NEVER take away anything he did for the business ever but how about his statements. Vince asked him to be totally honest on ” The Arsenio Hall Show” about steroids and he totally lied to the world. I knew that. Well, OK that came back to bite him in the A** but here’s the irony. Vince wanted Hulk to tell the truth, good for him. Only then~~~ years later, Vince also lied on the witness stand during his trials with Warrior. After perjuring himself~ luckily he recanted his statement. Yes, we all lie from time to time to protect ourselves but I just found it RUTHLESS how Vince wanted the truth from Hulk and yet couldn’t tell it on his own. I realize those topics differ much, but a lie is a lie. I was screaming folks, 😳 I seriously was and I did know this already. It just wasn’t a front and center memory anymore.

It’s Undertaker’s turn. Yes, yes, we all know his huge loyalty to Vince among many others including Cena, Bruce Pritchard, ( who is Vince’s lapdog 🙄) and The Rock but again, not my point here. I loved when he mentioned protecting his character. I’ve written on that too. He should since after all, his career spanned 30 years. Amazing. His story involved him saying how he wanted to go out in public looking frightful like his character was. He wanted people to think that ” that dude’s not right.” He stated how his idea was for others to think he really was that way. Maybe he was being comical, but it still resonates with me. All right, he didn’t legally change his name like Warrior but really? So, UT probably got commended for maybe doing that but someone else years prior did not. Warrior would get verbally attacked for God forbid, wanting to wear his face paint in public because of his character, but it could be acceptable for UT to look like that scary freak he portrayed? Yup, another WTF time for me. Don’t get me started on more of that. I do believe Warrior would’ve loved seeing UT going out in public like that however…

WHEW… It seems I’ve come to the end if you are still with me. So MUCH more could I add but they are other clips unrelated to Warrior so I will leave it at those. I *** DID *** cry lots too. Not just for all the tragedies, but Shane’s memories . Those really touched me deeply. 🥹Overall, I will say this. Regardless of Vince’s split personalities, he did create a billion dollar business that cemented sports entertainment and made us all fans. That being said, he had a horrible childhood and never faced it, maybe he never will. His business meant more to him than anything~~~ even some of those closest to him or so it seemed. 😐 I have different emotions and found it troubling how few could describe his legacy. I agree with Tony Atlas. The greatest promoter ever. He finally did make his dad proud. I hope someday Vince and Mr. McMahon both find healing in some way. ❤️‍🩹I wanted to pile-drive Vince MANY times while watching this and yet also hug that little boy inside who deserved better…

P.S. Fascinating and Ruthless best describes this series. At least to me anyway. WTF moments are over! Oh, and I couldn’t watch some clips they showed. 🫣They were either too vulgar or too violent. Long live The Golden Era for me…

More Warrior Close-UPS 💙

I just had to do a continuation of a few weeks ago with ” The Warrior WHAT’s?” I told you I’d find some more and I did. If you look at the photo below, you’ll see number 5️⃣ on that list with the trunks that inspired my head tilt. Oh, and SPOILER ALERT… “Most Wanted Treasures” mentioned THOSE trunks as I had no idea. 😉🤭 More on that in a few weeks. Glad that episode was finally shown- yay!!! They are there as I went- hmmm… 🤔 I wanted more sillies because I need to laugh. It is the dog days of summer, right? No, wait, that’s August. How about the lazy, hazy days? No, wait, I am seldom lazy. We all deserve to be from time to time though. After just having my daughter’s graduation party👩🏻‍🎓 (with many personalities there…) on Saturday, and her college orientation yesterday, this mom deserves a Warrior break so here it is for today.

It is a 3️⃣ count (as you haven’t read that in a while) with those Warrior close-ups he seemed to be more famous for than others. I had watched the old WWF for years like I’ve said so answer me this fans. Don’t you think the Ultimate Warrior had many more zoom in pics, promos, or close-up shots than most? I’m not sure, but that camera always was going close to either his face or other physical traits of his. I might be biased but come on~ I still don’t wanna see nose hairs, earwax, or tonsils! I never did but it seemed that way sometimes didn’t it? Some guys also perhaps got those extreme close shots but honestly, I really don’t know. After all though, U.W. WAS the sexy rockstar at the time. Just sayin’… 😏🔥

Close-up number 1️⃣. Shortly after Warrior won the title from Hulk, they did this different promo of sorts. I have it on ” The Ultimate Collection” DVD but I’m sure it’s elsewhere. It starts like an outer space scene with lightning bolts all over. Then, colors shoot out of his eyes as they zoom in to his chest which has the painted logo and those flexed pecs, once again. He holds up the belt but yeah, didn’t know all that was going to happen when I first saw it. 🙂‍↔️ I actually did use that as a pic several years ago! Sorry Hulk fans, but I just can’t picture HIM doing that unless he did other types of promos as champ, who knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Close-up number 2️⃣. This one I actually got wrong at first as I was confusing interviews. I thought it was before an “SNME” match against Haku where Mean Gene interviewed U.W. but no! This one was shortly before the 1991 “Royal Rumble” where Gene (I got that part right) interviews the Ultimate Warrior prior to his “loss” against Sergeant Slaughter thanks to ” The Macho King.” 😡. Anyways, during that interview those pecs move again, although briefly. How do you guys do that anyway? 😂There were other times but these just came to my mind. You probably are thinking this is an entire post on THAT but I assure you, it is not! I just wanted to do another lighthearted one to escape from the CRAZY summer I’ve had and continue to have. If you’re not into this one, hopefully I’ll catch ya next week…

Close-up number 3️⃣ . This last one is also from 1991 which follows U.W.’s ongoing feud with ” The Macho King.” Warrior had to get his revenge during WMVII and he did. It was the only time he walked to the ring without running. I had never heard why but I could think of reasons. I love the duster jacket he wore with images of him and Randy, as well as the matching kneepads. That takes us to the trunks. Yep, ending with those again so no flexing of the glutes, ha ha! The cameras zoom in once more to see them in an extreme close-up. There’s a pic of the belt with the caption of ” Means More Than This.” THAT was also talked about on “Most Wanted Treasures” as I would’ve had no idea! I write my blogs almost a week in advance as some may know… I can’t imagine the camera shot though on that one!!! It DID mean more than the belt as Warrior respected Randy so much but got the three count for the pin just like today. At least I’m ending with something other than his chest, right?

Well, there you have it. If I notice any others, no part three despite us wrestling fans loving that count. No explanation either as true fans KNOW this is not my typical type of post which will echo Warrior’s trunk statement of “means more than this.” Yep, sure does~ especially as time went by. We are all more than what is perceived but in that business, you get those close-ups that is for sure. Those trunks could’ve been my pic this week but, NOOO… 🫨

I actually have an update on the magazine issue from last week. I’m just an honest person so I couldn’t stand it anymore! I decided to just open up PayPal and figure it out. I’m sure others do it all the time but I haven’t in several years. It just was so confusing to me as my payments usually went through a person, not a business email. I did apologize for the late transaction as I’m sure they have received it. My thing was~ I didn’t want them suing me or anything like that for not paying, ha ha. It was a month ago when all this started so I paid a little late, I’ve been BUSY! I also am not paying for both mags because that was their error so technically, I did get one free. Not returning it either so that’s on them. $25 for two magazines is still a lot even though they pay shipping. It’s a business though. Once in a while, freebies are nice and they don’t happen much so I’m taking it. It isn’t stealing like oops- ( those other stories… 🫣) but their mistake~ not mine.

They haven’t even asked for the money so quite possibly could’ve forgotten? My honesty gets in the way so I needed to rectify. I had a good month though, and it was a one time deal. Never again. You warriors enjoy the rest of this month as August is coming soon. Both my kids will be in college, how is that possible? 😵‍💫This mama heart of mine needs a calming break. Once they are settled in and begin school again, I will breathe easier but then have another set of worries. Such is the life I chose..

So, enjoy all the close-ups in your life warriors since they go by in the blink of an eye. My selfie for this month is coming, but nothing extreme and no flexing! 🤣

P.S. Us girls cannot flex those pecs on our chest, but we can shimmy! 💃

When is it too Much? 🤔😬😐

Yes, I know what you could be thinking. First, my title’s a little long but it’s what came so be it. I was thinking of: “when is enough, enough?” but thought that to be kind of negative. It’s probably not entirely what it seems so I hope you continue reading. Next, I also know that photo down below could be used within a few weeks~~~ appropriately so but nope, I’m using it today. This topic has been brought up a little before but it’s nice to take a different “run” on it with other info.

So, when is it too much? That’s not an easy answer because we all see things differently. It can be very diverse as this relates to several areas of our lives. With Warrior, many will say his workouts and intensity were too much but for him personally, he felt it to be right. An expression I read talked of “over-efforting” and yes, this can be true. I KNOW too how you would usually read the opposite on here. Warrior’s mantra of : ” do the work” is such a part of me as it should be. You will know your work and when you need a break. At least I hope you do. Most of you remember my mantra about breathing and to slow down. Yep, that works too. When it becomes too much, how does it feel or look to you? Do you recognize the stress or do you ignore it? For me, I get lethargic or disoriented much like those negative dreams I wrote about. 

I’ll take this another way. If any of you own the “Always Believe” DVD, Hulk Hogan had this to say about Vince’s 2 “monster entities.” on their way to do battle in WMVI. He states how they both :“didn’t have to do a whole heck of a lot.” This meant that despite them putting on quite a show back then for fans, not much was needed to make the match work. Their immense popularity at the time sold it to crowds so anything they did in the ring, even little moves would be enough to excite. That was exactly true and ALSO true of the Ultimate Warrior’s career. Enough is enough already! There, I will use that phrase after all. No more naysayers saying how U.W. didn’t do this or that in his time of wrestling despite him not making the “A-list” of being “friendly” or a “good worker” backstage. That was not his priority. Just like Hulk said, he didn’t have to do a heck of a lot to (make an impact.) By that I mean a ton of technicalities or anything similar to get that ***POP*** from the crowd which is what he wanted. I’ve said enough on that for sure…

Let’s take that photo below. Warrior didn’t want to do that much on Monday Night RAW either for what would be his final television appearance. His idea was to say a few words, thank fans, and walk out of the ring. Of course, Triple H and possibly Vince thought otherwise. Fans had waited 18 years to see U.W. again and they deserved more than a few minutes, we all did. Who would’ve guessed Warrior’s final speech would generate such reactions that it is totally remembered 10 years later and will forever be? I could’ve known as most speeches of his were quite memorable including promos and those outside of the ring. Again though, he didn’t have to do that much to know it would be enough. Sure, he worked his A** off to get to a certain level but once attaining that, he didn’t have to push so hard. He still did in many ways though. Some may think his “rhetoric” was too much at times, but that just proves to *ME* how he was always destined for so much more when pursuing other opportunities.

I’ll look at myself here with my practices. As you probably are aware, I am a spiritual seeker and read much (like Warrior did) but I also meditate, journal, (yes, he wrote too,) and work with other tools. I LOVE it all just like this blog but need my breaks as well. Even though Warrior had mentioned ✍🏻 writing for 3️⃣hours a day, I could not do that. If he did indeed, when did he have the time? 🕰️😲 We do love our stuff though, but literally cannot do one thing all day as we can get burned out. I understand discipline, really I do but we need to switch it up from time to time. It’s ☯️ Yin and Yang like I’ve written before. Warrior might’ve said it’s never too much and perhaps for him that worked but for most of us, it’s too extreme. 

Think of your interests or even challenges. Those things that fill us with joy are easy to do for lengths at a time but what about the triggers? We want to get away from them very quickly as it becomes extremely draining. I’m sure you can think of plenty but with it all, too much does become too much. We do have to be assertive sometimes with those triggers and either confront or surrender but either way, a break from the person, place, or emotion is needed. We also want “new” stories to pass on as some on repeat become too much over and over and we have had enough. The same old thing doesn’t work in the way it once did and it becomes time for the new. It’s similar to wrestlers who rebrand their character or gimmick over the years. How about STING of my P. S. last week? We might not need to do much at all making something happen as trying too hard only leads to frustration. Remember also to go with the flow. 🌊

If too much is too much, ask yourself how it makes you FEEL? If you answer positively, it can still be time for rest. The negative feelings will definitely let you know when you have “over-efforted” and need to choose something else. We have to always “do the work”, but also need to know when the work has taken over and we’ve lost part of ourselves. Just do your part and know that it is enough for the day. Love the good but let the bad go. Even too many “Warrior-isms” can cause us to submit. Know your limits and you’ll get that neutral mentality. It’s like when you’re on vacation but then are glad to be HOME… Trust your best effort and know we are all imperfectly perfect (or is that reversed?) and enough…

P.S. Sometimes even with writing this, I overdo it but nowadays~~~ I am better. It is what it is. Thank you for being my readers!

P.P.S. You U.W. collectors can have your merch as I have my crystals. When is it too much? We hate to be asked that. 😂🤨🤭😜

Solid as a “ROCK.” 🪨💪🏻💙

I just need to mention real quick about last week’s date being 1-24-24. Yes, we will have that every month like last year but January brings the first of course. I love repeating numbers AND this is it for the first month of 2024. Wasn’t it just New Year’s Day?

OK, WRESTLING fans~~~ I’m BAACK…. Did you miss that topic? Sometimes, I need to focus my energy on different areas or there isn’t much of a story from the wrestling world waiting to be explored by ME. Now, there is yet again. (***BTW- I wrote this post after finding out about “The Rock” but BEFORE the most recent scandal broke the following day… ***)

You’ll notice if you read to the end (as I HOPE you do) that pic of Ultimate Warrior. It involved a tag team match between him and “King” Duggan (Hacksaw) versus André the Giant and “Ravishing” Rick Rude in 1989. The good guys won albeit by cheating a little, oops~~~ ha ha! As fans of U.W. know- he was part of two tag teams with Sting being the “Freedom Fighters” and then “Blade Runners.” Jim Hellwig’s name with the Blade Runners was “Rock.” . Fans may also know a few others by that name. We had “The Rock” Don Muraco who was “Magnificient” and then “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson years later. His Dad’s name doesn’t count as Rocky.

That takes me to the real topic at hand here. Any guesses? Come on. IYKYK. DJ has hinted at “possibly” stepping in the wrestling ring once again only this time as part of WrestleMania 40. They need something BIG right? It is rumored he will be facing none other than his cousin who is the universal champ- Roman Reigns. The Rock also just recently signed onto the WWE Board of Directors, while securing the rights to his name. That second part sounds a little like with someone else years ago did in a way to secure HIS name, only legally and not with WWE. What DJ is doing means nobody in the business can use “The Rock” as a moniker anymore. Well, we’ve had others in the past so let’s move on from the same name. That is similar to WWE over using (at least in my opinion…) “the King” moniker many times hence part of the pic again below. Yes, they had the “King of the Ring” tournament for years but I mean just the name like with Jerry Lawler, Harley Race, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, and of course, Haku, who lost the crown he won from Jerry to none other than Hacksaw. Yes, I had to re-look all that up about Haku and Hacksaw as it’s very vague in my memory. And to think weeks ago, I just took a photo from a U. W. tag team match. Wow, the connectors that “tag” in are crazy! Writing brings out details I never had originally thought of quite often. 😜

Also, in WWE news is the recent announcement beginning next January 2025, how RAW will be moving to Netflix. My brother informed me of this before I read it on social media. It’s a HUGE multi year deal. Plus, my 80s podcast guys also covered some of that info on their episode of last week. Both SmackDown and NXT will be switching cable networks in October as well. Can you just imagine how RAW will change the face of Netflix? The guys were trying to determine the increase of viewers. I believe it will skyROCKet, 🚀 how about you? WWE will also be moving their PLE’s (paid live events) to Netflix too. Those used to be PPV’s as I always called them. No idea on that name change. How decades have evolved, that is for sure. At this time next year, they will know how viewership increased as I’m sure it will, by a LOT. It’s all business and moving through the eras WWE will always do. The Internet and streaming are the NEW now.

So, what’s your opinion as I get back to the topic of The Rock at WrestleMania 40? Yes, his appearance earlier this month drew BIG ratings for them as it would, nostalgia and all. Who knows how this will play out with a title on the line. I cannot predict what they will do and obviously with him now being on the board, he will be more involved. Is he stepping away from movies and Hollywood for a while to strap on the boots? He is generational with everyone, but is this just a one time thing? So many questions with WWE always leaving us guessing. To have a brief run for him again would be monumental but a LONG run, I actually don’t want that. Sure, he can still perform and entertain as many wrestlers continue into later years like U. W’s old tag team partner of Sting. He will be retiring this year from AEW. I just feel personally that like Warrior said in his HOF speech, you will know when it’s time to move on and pass that torch to the next generation. I understand how different it is these days with veterans still wanting roles in the business. They don’t just want to mentor or be backstage, they want to be in the ring if they still can at whatever capacity. If this continues though with the current roster, nobody would ever retire and the HOF would just honor past legends of yesteryear. The Rock of course will be part of a class one year and he is still so young (my age!) but when is it time to fully step away? I believe they should push some of the existing talent who work tremendously hard at that level. We can’t relive the past, but is it great for the Bloodline story? Of course.

Roman is close to beating Hulk’s “reign” as I’ve mentioned. My brother does not want this to happen. He was a huge Hulkamaniac. It would be more near SummerSlam if it did so if The Rock takes the title, what then? He’s on the BOE so he can maybe help Triple H with creative, ha! It would be great to see DJ back in action now that he is more part of the business end and he has the family legacy just like Roman. A brief run is what I’d like as I’m sure more movies will be calling his name. It would be that huge revenue WWE can do to make Mania 40 but we shall wait and see. Wait and see…..

All those guys with The Rock as their monikers lived or have lived up to being solid. Solid in word, solid in action. However you define it but it worked for them with the ways they needed and still is for one. Let’s just not have any more “kings” shall we? 👑😐😬

P.S. Also- most recently came THIS news. Unless you’ve been living under a rock- pun intended- you know…

***For the first time in over 50 years no McMahon will be involved in WWE. Vince’s resignation (once again) stemmed from more recent graphic allegations. All before WrestleMania 40. *** SIGH**As he always said though : “the show must go on.” Will he be back once again? I’m finally thinking NO… This hit me in a different way as I cried for many various reasons… 😞💔

To Take Direction 🥹💙👏🏻

SummerSlam just had another anniversary. 34 years ago was when Ultimate Warrior won BACK the IC Belt from “Ravishing” Rick Rude. I was beginning my senior year just like my daughter is now… No milestone with that number but the age of myself and now my girl sure is… This was another quick thought I had before starting today… So many S.S. dates lately, I should’ve used a pic from one but nope, time to begin..,

Maybe you won’t even notice but maybe you will. I’ll explain to those “perfectionist” types like I tend to be. Down below, you see a pic from Warrior prepping for his big HOF night of 2014. His black jacket looks a little darker because I edited like I sometimes do. Any shot I took had my blinds decorating his jacket. No matter what I tried they were there, so UGH~ had to do my best getting them out. Another point I’d like to make IS a milestone of last week. I’ve been so busy with my kids stuff, I forgot the debut of ***OWN*** as it just turned 25 marking the debut on WCW’s Nitro program. The One Warrior Nation is still going strong…

Having said both of those, let’s get into taking direction today.

My house seems so quiet with just me and the pets but back to a new routine it is… Ever since I had seen that part of the “Always Believe” DVD with Warrior and Vince rehearsing up on stage, it got me feeling a little bittersweet yet again. Vince was directing Warrior on all the stage etiquette of where to stand, here’s the mic, how it’s gonna go, and all that. Warrior’s response was: “Ok,… alright…” It so reminded me of years ago when being the Ultimate Warrior, he took instruction from Vince during promos or even matches. I remember seeing clips from the biography with Vince telling him very similar statements, only some with camera angles or shots. One super vivid with me was when preparing to shoot the contract signing between U.W. and Hulk Hogan for WMVI. What we have probably seen as the finished promo isn’t obviously how it began. U.W. yelling and then saying how the two belts will become one is what we see but of course, after much direction. Vince asked “Jim” for more intensity as he calmly looked a little frustrated (at least to me) while adding: “OK…” It was coming full circle and a little déjà vu mixed in only years later, as both of those topics have been written.

Warrior was still receiving direction from Vince yet again 24 years later just in another way and his response was the same. Obviously an entirely new meaning but taking that type of instruction to make something work. I thought of a few other references here that put a different animated yet funny spin on this topic. One of my favorite Christmas specials is the cartoon “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” I LOVE the Peanuts characters and even had bedsheets as a kid but NO~~~ not ready for that season yet! Do any of you know the scene when Charlie Brown becomes the Director of their Christmas play? You probably do. Lucy tries to keep everyone together with a speech by saying: ” You’ve gotta take direction. You’ve got to have discipline. You’ve got to have respect for your Director!” All this while Snoopy imitated her and licked her face. Yep, such a classic indeed as I have it all memorized! Vince was the “Director” with the WWF (E) guys back then like C.B. became the “Director” of his classmates only for differing circumstances for sure.

We do need direction in some areas of our lives, despite some of us resisting what the “boss” may think is right. You have to work together as a group, team, or whatever activity you find yourself in if everyone pulls their weight. If not, you are free to leave. You can still have fun to put on a good show, even a Christmas play or wrestling match. I’ll tag myself in here as I wanted to do this topic but needed my own experience of sorts. Most may know I sang in choir as my kids play instruments in band. Both still have directors and both need that discipline Lucy said almost 60 years ago. I was taught to look at our Director just like my kids. Yes, you need to listen to each other as I recall yet another favorite of mine which has been listed before. Sister Mary Clarence in the movie “Sister Act” (aka Whoopi Goldberg) directs the nuns in their choir and despite Whoopi not actually being a real Director, she plays her part well. She gets those women to work together. Sister Mary Clarence points to her cheeks in one scene before beginning with them as a reminder to smile just like my directors always did. She explains how you really need to listen if you’re going to be a group. Wise advice yet again. They were a church choir but it requires the same disciplines with direction. Another mention of her as I referenced the movie “GHOST” several posts back… What can I say? I love these movies (:

After all these years, I still (YES, I do) watch my kids band directors when they are all performing. OK, absolutely do I watch the musicians, but my eyes find themselves diverting back to the Director for cues as my hands move in similar fashion to myself. Would you expect anything less from this music girl? I get the direction from them as I received years prior from others. Does this happen to you? Yeah, yeah, I know what you’re thinking. Directing kids is different than adults but the mentality of learning is not. Our brains just process what is being taught regardless of our actual age. Do you find yourself ever in a moment when you took direction from another and then are in a moment similar years later? If being a parent, you have for sure based on what your own parents taught you in the past which gets handed down. Some ideas we don’t wanna replicate or redirect onto others and that’s OK too.

Taking direction can seem hard, but there are those more qualified than us who have been in our shoes (or boots) of a few weeks ago. Maybe not like Charlie Brown or Sister Mary Clarence as both were sort of newbies but with Vince, a different venue all together. Some crave direction from others as business demands but then later on we might become the directors of another and use our knowledge to teach. I certainly did as a preschool teacher and then having my own. We all need direction in many ways but need to pass it on well. You may not have sung or played an instrument or probably never wrestled, but be on your OWN stage receiving and giving. It is part of our evolution and what we must do…

P.S. SO, at the very 1st football game a few weeks ago, I happened to be looking into the crowd. I saw this guy wearing that blue U.W. shirt once again! You know, the one LeBron James made so popular! Oh my.., It was almost 2 years ago at my son’s senior night when I saw it last.. 💙🥹Get this— earlier that SAME day- someone in the F.B. U. W. group just received it in the mail and I commented!! Synchronistically lining up yet again….

P.P.S. My sincere condolences go out to the Funk family on the loss of Terry and to the Rotunda family on the loss of Windham ( a.k.a. Bray Wyatt.) Very sad news as we lose yet more beloved, wrestling superstars. 😓😓💔💔

Red and Yellow AGAIN! 😬

I’ve mentioned those colors before warriors, but they came into my thoughts again recently with Easter being over. I was looking at a few of my spring decorations while remembering a little negative story. I tell myself every year to forget about it and sometimes I do but this year, I am sharing it on here. Some of those former WWE (F) stars wore red and yellow (one alone and then a few Tag Teams) but I have my own red and yellow story. First off though, can ANYONE answer this? I know I’ve asked it before. OK, fans know Hulk Hogan wore those signature colors for years, but why did they keep repeating often? His tag team with Randy Savage as the “MegaPowers,” Randy with Ultimate Warrior as the “Ultimate Maniacs,” and then Hulk with Brutus Beefcake as the “Mega Maniacs.” I still believe Randy and Warrior should’ve worn pink and green (or colors they wore more!) but not red and yellow. There has to be an answer somewhere… 🤔

Anyways, here’s my “UGH” story. Back in the day when girls planned a bridal shower or were getting married, it was always the same question: “What are your colors?” Yes, this part will be kind of for the gals but maybe you guys know too. For me, I didn’t have colors. I gotta be different, you know?! It was one color~ coral. My shade was more of the orange pink variety and not red. Some would say peach even. The girls carried 6 roses~ 3 coral, 3 cream. My number even then. Too funny! Warrior’s WM6 trunks were very orange, but I always liked orange when most didn’t. He had his 6 moment, I had mine, ha ha. Anyhow, the shower was at my sister’s house at the time. I loved the company, food, and games, but the decorations? NOT AT ALL… ☹️

I walked in thinking this was not for me as there was no coral color anywhere. Um, why not? My sister did it her way and even used tulips when my flowers were roses! I still to this day never got a real answer, even from my mom. It’s all so weird. I did have a good time but was just disappointed. My sis always wanted tulips in her wedding but used roses as well. Even if I got married in the middle of winter, artificial flowers are always what we’d use so if I wanted tulips, I would get them. Her wedding was in September, but really who cares? Use your tulips but my August wedding was roses. Both sisters gave me a watering can and a nice vase as keepsakes with these red and yellow tulips all over them. I kept them out for years in the spring but finally gave them away several years ago. I didn’t need the bad memory attached to myself anymore. Let someone else that wants them, have them. When they had their showers, I helped plan it around their flowers and colors. That’s just what you do or at least I thought so. Don’t get me wrong here. It was very pretty and nice but you plan for the bride, not yourself. I was no bridezilla either but guess I just assumed. OK, former bride rant over.

I must say though, I STILL have a few of my purple tulips bloom outside. Remember them loyal readers? I love seeing all the colors in people’s yards despite this cold spell we are having, but I won’t get just red and yellow ever! When I do think of those colors always, I want the happy. Some of you can have Hulk with the longevity but I’ll take Randy and Warrior any day. I wonder how long the “Ultimate Maniacs” could’ve lasted? So many questions I’d love answered. ❤️💛💪🏻💪🏻

I can also probably do an entire post on the color blue. Much stuff I had when younger was blue when I always wanted pink. That reminds me of “Sleeping Beauty” when the fairies kept changing her dress color. 💙💖I watched that favorite movie of mine not that long ago… I finally got my pink though in a few shades, including a bike but this is red and yellow today. Both sisters always loved yellow, still do. I do in some ways but pink will always be my favorite. I have two rooms painted yellow in my house though. I was born to be different and I’m fine with that but just want respect because of it. When you combine yellow and pink, you get peach. I like the combo. One sister had yellow dresses in her first wedding but not the other. Such odd reasons why as that would never be me. To each their own I guess.

Maybe today’s brides don’t do color patterns, but I still see flowers that complement dresses so a little of it is still there. The red and yellow shower of my day will forever be a mystery along with those former WWE (F) tag teams. Do any of you have a story to share where you placed such expectations on someone or something only to experience disappointment? I bet you do or did, but it does become hard letting it all go. Warrior had people let him down too many times throughout his life and yet we must continue on in a new way. Once we find what works with people who “get” us, it flows easier. One would think family gets us the most and would know our likes or tastes, but sometimes we need to place our trust in a fresh perspective. That can only happen with time and a whole lot of patience. We shouldn’t feel guilty for moving our ideas onto others. It’s really how to evolve despite blood sometimes.

I hope those of you who do have close sisters remain that way as I am not here to bash your relationships at all. Just sharing my red and yellow story that I totally connected to wrestling. Who would’ve thought getting out some spring decor would bring it all back to my memories, despite not having the physical objects anymore? We all have connections with items from the past, but let’s make the good ones count. U.W. Memorabilia anyone? I’ll take those as I’m sure you will too. Just give me roses, not tulips! 🌷Give me pink or coral too. All kidding aside, we can forgive and see the lessons. They were wrong but I can’t give it more power or energy anymore. That’s my lesson. Maybe we are done with seeing red and yellow in WWE? I wouldn’t know anymore. Good memories remain as I let the negative ones go…

P.S. That pic of Ultimate Warrior below describes how frustrated I was back then! I DO love my Bluejay feathers though. They aren’t red or yellow, hehe…

P.P.S. When working with my florist for the wedding all those years ago, she had never used the color coral before ever. I had many firsts just like Warrior did and still do… 🧡💖☺️

Warriors Push Thru 👏🏻💪🏻💙

Yes, for sure we do. At least I do or did and I know Warrior did as well. Do you push thru despite it all? It probably does depend on the situation for many of us and life goes on whether we push thru ahead or not. I don’t mean life generally speaking but the specifics of it like injuries, pain, sickness, or ya know stuff like that. I guess it can be other things too like school assignments back in the day. We pushed thru those moments too.

As an athlete we know how hard they push thru matches, games, tournaments, and all connected with sports in lieu of what is happening to their bodies. Fans are expecting you to be YOU after all, so they get that pain medication, injection, or tape to keep them in it. Vince pushed the U.W. character along with Warrior to the top despite some critics. I have “heard” or read about Warrior pushing thru certain events even though as a fan, I knew nothing at the time. PLEASE ~~ anyone correct me or show proof in someway but Warrior mentioned a few times in his videos some of this too. I had heard he tore his bicep lifting Hulk up in WM6. He also re-tore it a few other times later on in his career.

A few weeks later, after 6, he was in Japan for a Wrestling Summit and read somewhere how he had a high fever. Again, I can’t remember where I hear some things and whether or not they are true- he would still push thru being sick or not. He even had stomach flu before his return match in Spain of 2008. 🤮 That I know for sure as his good friend touched on it in an interview. We would never even have known Warrior was sick at all.

I bet we all have had similar moments but perhaps not in wrestling rings like Warrior! I know I have. When I was a teacher, I loved my job and always wanted to be there. A few occasions I remember pushing thru not feeling well. My boss sent me home after lunch one day— guess I looked pale as a sheet! Another time, I tried my best to look halfway decent since there were 2 big things in one week– Valentine’s activities, and being lead teacher. That holiday is coming up soon… ❤️ To top it all off, this Grandma wanted a Valentine party pic with me and her granddaughter since I was the teacher in charge. Oh boy, can you say fake smile? I pushed thru but sometimes, we shouldn’t. In my case, the sickness could have spread to others but you gotta give me loyalty on this one.

Even when I had my ulcer, (which I was figuring out then) I still wanted to do the Holidays, take my son for his driver’s test, and celebrate my daughter’s Confirmation. Life doesn’t stop but sometimes we need to for a bit… Well, enough of all that. Let’s move onto another area. Yes, sometimes we push thru all the bad and then down the line, eventually somehow see the good. Maybe with many events in our lives, we might never see the good and I can think of plenty, but one day~~~ we will know that WHY…

We push thru because they are choices we make every day, all the time. The GOOD stuff we have to remember here as well too. How about pushing thru to a great end result and bettering your life in many ways? You can probably think of so much that is better now because you pushed thru. It’s such an amazing feeling when you know you have accomplished something that has been with you a while. Warrior pushed thru in his life and career to get done what he needed and doing it in the way he wanted. Sure, there will be challenges and difficulties, but we need those because it’s a journey not a sprint involving running like the Ultimate Warrior!

I do also know that risks are worth it and if you believe in the positive, it will pay off whether that risk works out or you get a new chance. I pushed thru in getting a book published, speaking on podcasts, and keeping in touch with people on this Warrior journey. There’s so many more examples here but you get it. What have you pushed thru that has worked out? Think of those more than all the negative sh** that didn’t. I’m not saying to push thru until total exhaustion, (although Warrior might have with his workouts) but go enough where the result is put into place. Remember those seeds of last week? Maybe as our life unfolds, we might not push the way we did when younger but as humans, we are not stationary beings. There is a time for that. Bring as much push into your life as you are willing to allow. It’s all in what you will allow into it, your choice.

Wrestlers push thru and us watching have little or no idea on their inner battles. We know some info, but there’s so much more we don’t unless you are that person in those boots despite social media of today. As a performer, you do what it takes if you are in that business and if it isn’t working anymore~~~ you push back, not thru. This time in a different way. It just depends on how much you will push or how far you will go. When it’s something we really want to do and I can attest to this completely, it will get done- period. Even if it’s hard, we push. We might procrastinate a little but there is a reason ideas stay with us.

Sometimes I want so hard to push thru but don’t quite know how. That’s kind of like it is for me in many areas and yet I still find a way— the warrior way. Oh, *** PAUSE*** here. My lights just flickered when I was first writing this… I always believe and he is that force that makes me push thru. No, not in the way he did because that isn’t me but Warrior knows how I need to be and what needs to get done. The wrestling world and all it entails is very different than our lives of just being entertained or being pushed to watch. Being pushed can be intimidating to lots of us and our definition varies from person to person. We know our way of looking at it just like our favorite performers do. As the Ultimate Warrior even said: “push yourself to total…” (well not gonna quote that part of those 2 words about Hulk Hogan. A.K.A.- Crash the Plane promo.) Warriors push thru so look at your obstacles and find the good. If it doesn’t work, push another way.

P.S. How has January been pushed out? February here we come….
