Daffy Wrestling Dreams🤭😴

A quick mention here first. I spelled Sheamus’s name wrong last week, so I felt the need to apologize on that🫤. It was spelled right in my tag though!

Here’s a few dreams that I hope you enjoy just as much as I did receiving them. Oh, the pic down ⬇️ is not one I had intended originally but that is how Warrior looked in dream number 2️⃣ . Let’s start with number one 1️⃣.

I frequently have dreams about my Grandparents house, but to have a wrestling reference makes it even sweeter. 🥰 My mom, youngest sister, and I had visited my grandparents but not sure if either of them was in this dream? We used to visit every few months after my Grandpa passed as well. Us girls were there with my spiritual cousin (who I’ve mentioned before), her daughter, and HER daughter. I must say~~~ my son also was there. I guess it wasn’t just us girls after all. ☺️Anyways, my cousins went out which left the rest of us to watch the baby who is a little over a year old. The reason I believe they were in it is because my cousin was just recently visiting her daughter’s family so in this dream, they visited my grandparents and we must’ve gone too.

While us girls were feeding the baby in the kitchen, my son was watching TV in the den. I got totally distracted as I heard what I thought was the old WWF shows! NAH, that can’t be, can it? Is some channel showing those old episodes or is this some kind of flashback? I turned my head and could catch a glimpse as it was then how I saw the Ultimate Warrior being interviewed by Mean Gene! At first I thought next to him was one of the “Demolition”guys but that wouldn’t be right. I believe now it was the “Road Warriors”or then being the “Legion of Doom”( LOD). It probably was right before Survivor Series ’90 when they were a team alongside “The Texas Tornado” Kerry Von Erich. My son was watching and said nothing! He never has watched and still does not. I got so into the TV, I forgot about the baby! Good thing others were there, he he. There was more to the dream involving the house and it being a duplex which it was not. There were many more details that I won’t share but always different things that make these dreams so amusing at times. 😜

Let’s move onto dream number two. This one also does connect to my real life because well, many do. Again, though I couldn’t connect if it was a flashback or mix of the present. They both merge and I just go with it. So, I looked like I do now but still lived at home with my mom, dad, and youngest sister. Huh? I was out running errands and someone in a store I believe had mentioned Warrior being nearby signing autographs! What? 😳How is this possible and how could I not know? Well, guess what Kathy did? I went (or sped) right there as it was at a local T-shirt shop called ” Daffy Dan’s” which I totally remember back then. It is no longer there, but was for many years. I believe THIS manifested because recently I was in a shop which contains retro and vintage clothing similar to DD’s. The shop is a connector in another way so keep it in mind…

I get there after calling home to tell them I was going to be late. Why would I do that? 🤷🏻‍♀️Perhaps lines would be very long and I’d be there a while. It was at the end of the event but they had barricades in the parking lot as the line was moving fast. I panicked because I had nothing for him to sign, just my phone to take pics. Well, years ago~~~ no cell phones but Warrior looked like he did down below so it was more of the now… The gift always is the dream… 💙All of a sudden, the book ” A Life Lived Forever” which I own was placed in my hands! That book didn’t happen until Warrior passed but items similar appear in dreams often. Guess I had something for him to sign now. Also, I found out they were giving away FREE UW action figures so another bonus! 😉👏🏻Not sure of the time per se, but Warrior had blonde hair in the figure as it was all movable and posable parts which I never had or have. I got closer but still didn’t know what to say as I dislike saying the same things about being a fan, can you tell? 🫢

Up to Warrior I went with the book and action figure. I ended up saying the fan stuff anyway, but then talked about coming on a whim and being one of the few girls there. He laughed so hard like he did and I got some pics. I asked him for a hug and of course, he obliged. 🤗He then went to sign my items and this is what he wrote on the book: ” Kathy- may all your dreams come true, always believeWarrior.” *** I was STUNNED as I hadn’t asked him to write much at all. What made him write THAT?? Well, this WAS a dream but he meant real life. How touching. 🥹🫶🏻

It was then how I came back home and our house was decorated for Christmas. The shop of earlier had a Christmas in July sale when I went there so that is the connection!!! 🎄I was displaying the book and figure on some sort of Christmas platter of some kind? My sister admired it as well. Warrior had even attached his famous logo naturally… I still couldn’t believe that happened as I just stared at these wonderful Warrior collectibles now mine to keep forever. I had “met” Warrior in other dreams but this one was indeed “daffy” in many ways. He didn’t paint his face either which I’m sure he would’ve done for fans. 

Oh~~~ Warrior, thank you for these dreams as always but like I said years earlier, I can’t go anywhere ha! With these busy times ahead as we begin a new month of August, maybe he thought I needed them. 🙏🏻🤍I’m not ready for Christmas though! 😂

P.S. I got those Warrior items to keep forever in that dream just like the book of ” A Life Lived Forever.” Indeed it is… 😇

Family Business Banter

Do any of you come from a family business or feel the need to pursue your passions based on those before you? Kerry Von Erich came from a wrestling family as did many others. Am sure avid fans know of the Poffo’s,(Randy Savage, his Dad, and brother) the Hart’s, Neidhart’s, Flair’s, and of course the McMahon’s. I could list so many more and they continue today. What if you didn’t come from a wrestling background like Warrior? It doesn’t mean you won’t succeed. I actually do come from some writers in my family but never felt pressured to be one.

I bet there are even some whose families pressure you into succeeding in an area they didn’t. Maybe it was a profession they once tried and failed at so now they see an opportunity in your life. They might live their dream through you but is it what YOU want? Some families even have names as part of a “tradition” but when your first is born, you are against it! Yep, that was me. I wasn’t dishonoring but not conforming and there is a difference. Even England’s Royal Family has their share of banter with the recent news of Harry and Meghan. It does affect us all.

I am reminded also of singer Shania Twain. She has always been one of my favorites and I read her autobiography years ago. Being Canadian, she was ostracized for wanting to record country music. That didn’t stop her. She didn’t have much family banter but business banter and that’s an issue too. Stephanie McMahon had to work her way up in the WWE without just having her last name as a bonus. She has mentioned this several times in various interviews. Her Dad made her work just as hard as anyone else and she has proved it without family business banter. Let’s not forget Shane as well!

Sure, if you are looking for success in a family business, it does help if something can be passed along. They can teach you the “ropes” and train since they’ve been there before. Will they disown you if stepping away is your choice? Maybe you’ll care, maybe you won’t. It is different if you love the job like them and embrace it. I mentioned Paige in the WWE a few weeks ago. She also came from a wrestling family but it was her dream to compete and make it in the business. That she did. Now, Simone Johnson is continuing with becoming a 4th generational wrestler. Am sure this is her choice without pressure from her Dad Dwayne–aka “The Rock.”

Pressure is everywhere and comes at us full speed sometimes like a rocket ship. You can apply this to other areas of your life like belief systems. Being raised a certain way doesn’t mean you need to adhere as a adult. Your families emotions are on them, not you. We do need to deal with fallouts but also have respect on both sides. Change is difficult to accept but necessary in life.

Some of us may even do better without a big family influence. We are self-learners but do still need help from others — albeit a few. That was Warrior’s life in pro wrestling. Many others fell into this category too but I often wondered if they felt isolated for that. Again, there are always pros and cons to every side. Some might’ve got distanced for not coming from a wrestling dynasty or legacy. That attitude only made Warrior want success even more. His younger daughter may follow in her Dad’s “boots” one day with Warrior’s Ultimate Spirit guiding along the way. Warrior believed too much in being an individual to ever pressure his daughter to become a wrestler. That choice is hers to make despite his passing.

We do share what we know but should do so without expectation. Warrior showed his daughters “moves” over the years because it was still part of him. I sang preschool songs and did crafts with my kids for years since it was still part of me. We know our strengths and share them but how one interprets it is their feeling. It is tough as a parent to see a strength in your child you so want them to pursue. Encourage– yes. Force–no. They need to figure out their life with parental guidance and not pressure.

We all just want to be happy and if you’re not, then get out of the business. This statement is partially credited to Andre the Giant and it is so true. Our success might not equate what family banter dictates but we still need to be ourselves fully. The pressure shouldn’t get too much where we feel discouraged. Don’t ever let that happen warriors as there should always be another solution. Family Business Banter may not affect us all but if it does, be true to you while always showing respect. You can succeed and WILL even without a family legacy.

*** P.S. Kerry Von Erich and the Ultimate Warrior came full circle after working together early on in the WCCW and then later in the WWE. I missed that P.S. of a few weeks ago! 💙💙
