Notes and Treasures ✍🏻🔥💪🏻

A quick little mention here for all you WWE followers out there. SummerSlam is this weekend in the city of Cleveland, about 20 minutes from where I live! That downtown is going to be happening!!! So super exciting for our city to be hosting this annual event! 👏🏻😀

Moving on, I must say~~~ warriors how I love this month’s “selfie”! Only one take too when usually it’s several as I am super critical of them, ugh… Bravo to those that are not. Also, you’ll notice Warrior or should I say Ultimate Warrior in that pic with me. This is the first one of him that I used as a wrestler. The other two times (since now I have a 3️⃣ count~~~ yay!) was back in 2020 of “Coming Full Circle” and just last October with “My Superstar Seven.” I had to be reminded of those so now, it ends this month of July on the last day.

With my daughter’s party👩🏻‍🎓 over, she needed to write those thank you notes. Maybe some of you recall several months ago when I wrote about courtesies. I had said how her brother wrote them and now it’s her turn. No “one card fits all” for her either with me as her mom! They were handwritten and personalized. Yep, that’s the “old” way, but it’s the right way. At least that’s what I believe. We are all BUSY but the 1/2 hour one might spend scrolling through media can be spent thanking those that acknowledged you on a special occasion. I encouraged her gently how we needed to get those done before all the final prep for college. She did oblige but guess when she decided to begin them? An hour before the ” Most Wanted Treasures” on the Ultimate Warrior! Of course, right? She wanted my help starting out but I told her at 10 PM, Mom was done! She was still writing them at 10 when it started as I did both~~~ help and watch. 😵‍💫

She included some funny lines and didn’t want to say the same things over and over so I offered tips. Me as the writer I am. 😉 I was able to concentrate mildly on the show while her dad was “dozing” on the couch. It was going well until her questions began, once again. Haven’t I answered these before? Honestly, I didn’t even think she was paying attention to the TV! She proceeded to ask me about my warrior logo tattoo. Yes, was my answer. 🙄Then, she wanted to know when this all would be done., Like what, the blog which I’ve discussed already? As always, I didn’t have an answer but she meant more. OK, I have the “fan” status, but my girl just relates that to the past as many things I can’t answer because of their personal nature and complexities of the now. I had to watch my words with Dad nodding off next to me. 😬I guess she was really alluding to when ALL of it would be done with me. We are never done like a former post title, but obviously I was vague and that became enough because come on girl~~~ I wanted to watch this!!! So glad someone had posted it to the FB group a day or so after as THEN I was able to watch it totally alone. I can look it up on the A &E app but didn’t have to.

SPOILER ALERT HERE… Read no further, (but please do) as now I am going to get into details about the episode. If you haven’t seen it, that is. I really enjoyed it as I’m sure UW fans would too. I had heard and seen a little clip a few months ago so they showed one item and mentioned a second. NO IDEA on the third one so a total surprise! A three count again. 🤭

The first item was UW’s trunks that he signed from WMV. Even though they are autographed, I wouldn’t want them since he lost the IC belt to Rick Rude then, ha ha. 😡The value they place on gear and merch is just crazy to me. 😜The guy traded them for an Undertaker ⚱️ since he is a huge UT fan. Nope, not a trade I would make but I get it. The second item was one of the singlets UW wore as part of his short-lived tag team with Randy as the “Ultimate Maniacs.” It was the flame one as I remember a few. The guy this time was Victor Boudreau, who actually knew Warrior back in his days with Warrior University. I know who he is from some social media sites, but got informed of his relationship with Warrior from another mutual friend years ago. It was too personal for him to part with so he temporarily loaned it out to WWE. So glad to see someone Warrior knew post wrestling on one of these bios because that is quite rare…

The last item gets its own paragraph because they were the same trunks from ’96 that I had a pic from a few weeks back AND wrote about with ” The Warrior WHAT’s?” Yes, my head tilt part of that post. Another OMG Janice moment from “Friends!” 🫨! No clue at all as I held back laughter 😂 in my living room. He wore other trunks during his ’96 run but those were wanted by WWE. Great to see Jimmy Hart in that segment too. The guy also loaned them so nobody truly sold out for their UW gear (despite the urn.) I’m still in awe that a piece of clothing or as Warrior had said years back~~~ “underwear” is worth $5000 or more! I just don’t understand that part of money being exchanged, but autographed stuff sells though. His passing will influence merch for sure but like I said prior, no trunks for me. That’s just a little too much but boots, his arm tassels, belts, duster jackets (later on,) or other gear would be collectible in my mind. You all can think otherwise. I also understand if you knew someone personally or had an item they signed and gave to you. That is priceless and irreplaceable. ❤️In these cases with UW, it is important to display some “most wanted treasures” of his, but the WWE doesn’t need it all. Their history matters but if fans have it, then does everybody have a price? That’s “The Million Dollar Man’s” catchphrase! 💵💰

So, I’m sure I gave too much away about the episode but so glad it finally aired. I thought it was tastefully done from Booker T’s comments, Lita, (who was inducted alongside Warrior in 2014,) Shamus (the Celtic Warrior who met Warrior at his HOF,) Mick Foley, and of course~~~ Jimmy Hart. I never get tired of listening to Jimmy. I think the guys they found with UW gear were great too, especially Victor. I don’t watch WWE programming much, but Warrior stuff~~~ I will for certain. These notes and treasures I won’t forget that night and maybe someday, I can answer more questions of my girl’s. My connection to Warrior as a teen seems LIFETIMES ago now and yet, here we are decades later. I thank Warrior for gifting me my own “notes” or gear in this life. It is all my treasures with no price tag. There are lots and lots of other “notes” that can’t be filled on these pages… 🥹

P.S. To those who have UW gear, would you trade or sell for the right price? Always your choice. 🤔

P.P.S. I am still excited about this month’s picture. Should I get it framed? 🥰🤣The outside look too… Oh, I love how it all turned out! 🫶🏻

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! 💃

The Vacation Magazines 💙💙

This post has a lot of details BUT before getting into all of it, I heard WWE’s “Most Wanted Treasures” on A & E will FINALLY air The Ultimate Warrior episode this Sunday, July 14. Check your local listings to be sure so we will wait and see… 😬🤞🏻

Ok warriors, are you ready? Let’s start this match! As some readers may know, I have mentioned the 80s wrestling podcast guys on here a few times so those WWF magazines you see below are from them. The owner of ” The Wrestling Collector” store in New Jersey is a cohost on the podcast so quite often they have contests on Twitter or X ( if you will.) He will show a magazine, poster, some autographed merch, or anything similar. The first one to type ” CLAIM” gets it for whatever asking price, shipping paid. I had never done this, but decided to give it a try. I know they have to make money but $25 for one magazine seems steep to me. What the heck, I tried it and WON…

The magazine cover showed Ultimate Warrior after winning the IC belt from HTM (Honky Tonk Man.) it was November 1988 and the funny part is *THAT* was the same magazine I wrote about years ago. I was at the library as a senior in high school doing research and happened to come across that WWF issue in the stacks! So, after remembering that story, I played their game. They messaged me for shipping info and asked if this was Kathy from the podcast! Yeah, it was me. Payment was either PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or some others I never use. I mentioned PayPal and they gave me the store’s email. That was it. I have used PayPal in the past but wasn’t sure about their particular procedures, if there are any. Hmmm…

I waited a few days but no response back so I emailed them asking how to proceed with payment and got nothing. Our vacation (you knew that was coming from the title right?) was the next day so I kind of forgot about it. We were pulling out of the driveway on our way and my husband asked me to get the mail. I did and guess what? Yep, something was addressed to me from NJ. I couldn’t place it and hadn’t ordered anything recently. Then, after a bit, it hit me~ the magazine! As it turned out, it (or they) didn’t come with us as my daughter forgot her phone so we had to go back. Luckily, we hadn’t gone too far but perfect for me to put my package inside although I peeked a little. It was then I saw two, not one and neither was the cover they showed for the contest! What was going on? Maybe they do too many of these things as it gets mixed up! 🤪

So, both of them were from 1990 and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I only have one other WWF magazine from 1996 as I am no collector but to have both is ultimate!! More photos to come soon. The guys never have contacted me back at all, so no payment for them! Maybe Warrior himself helped me out on this… 🥰🤷🏻‍♀️

I have a few “funnies” from our trip too. The owners informed us that there was a snake, a 7 foot harmless non-poisonous one they named “Beatrice.” Later on, I saw a friend of hers, only much smaller. I was the only one to see the second one. I got close for some pics of Miss B, but she seemed to disappear after a storm. The owners have moved her, but she kept coming back to this big tree stump. I wonder if she’ll return to new guests? She was no Damien (Jake The Snake” Roberts snake for those wondering) but still. 🐍🐍😮

One of our first nights, my son was watching “SpiderMan 2” with his dad while his sister and I played a game. He decided to watch them all lately and this movie was from 2002. That was the year his dad and I got married, Warrior’s daughter Mattie was born, AND “Macho Man” Randy Savage was in this one. I knew that years ago, but had forgotten. His wrestling character’s name was “Chainsaw McGraw.” That I had to watch in order to know. Ah- Randy, thanks for being on our trip too, but stay away from Beatrice, ha ha! If you know how he got bit by Damien. 🫣

When driving home, we passed a fireworks store. 🎆 No, we didn’t stop then but did a few weeks later in Ohio as we were in Michigan then. The store’s name was SHANGO FIREWORKS… Yes, Kathy would notice that name. Maybe they were voodoo fireworks? If any wrestling readers know who Papa Shango was and his feud with The Ultimate Warrior. I’ll stay away though. 😂🤮Just kidding as I laughed like I usually do. The last tidbit was when my daughter and I went into the rest stop gift shop to get some candy for the way home. I bought us each a candy bar totaling $11.11 🍫That’s a great spiritual number if anyone follows that but I do so different number combos pop up on receipts for me from time to time. I love it, so cool. Thank you universe. WOW… 😉

Here’s another funny as one connects to the trip, the other one when we got back. The owners of our rental were Mark and SHERRY. We had a DANA 10 years ago on our very first rental and now a SHERRY. Warrior’s been gone 10 years so I’ll let you make that connection… Warrior was involved with 2️⃣ Sherrys- one personally and one professionally. That name can be spelled different ways. How about that?

Fast forward to after the vacation when I had to take my daughter for her wisdom teeth consult. We were sent to room 6️⃣ (welcome back number of mine) and later, the finance lady handling the money at the end was named Sherry. Oh my goodness, another laugh to myself warriors.

*** That’s the post this week so I hope I made you all laugh too and don’t forget about the A&E show this Sunday!

P.S. I’ll let you know if any more info comes my way about the magazine (s) as I probably can just go in and make the payment myself but I wasn’t sure? Oh, we left for our trip on 6-15. Our first full day there was 6-16, Father’s Day and Warrior’s birthday. Not planned on purpose, ever. Oh my. 

🙏🏻💪🏻

Don’t Forget Your Roots…

A couple of quick things first. Happy Mother’s Day🩷💐 this past Sunday to all those fortunate enough to call themselves by that title. Whether it’s human babes or animal ones, I hope all you ladies enjoyed your day. I sure did with all my “kids.” Interestingly enough, my youngest sister’s birthday fell on that day this year which it has in the past. No birth mother title for her, but she has other ones😉. Next month, Warrior’s birthday falls on Father’s Day which it has also in the past. Dates lining up once again but let’s get into today’s ***RANT*** which it is for me.

I don’t want these kinds of posts but sometimes, enough is enough already (yet again) and stuff has to be vented. No, the unshown as of late U.W. “Most Wanted Treasures” was not my reason with this but let’s just say~~~ it pushed me to my limits. We’ll start with the photo today. You will notice the ol’ WWF logo which has been used before but it gets “roped” in. Boy, am I so glad those years were part of me and not now with WWE content. I refute from dismissing their brand here, don’t worry. WMXL was HUGE and got everyone pumped for what is to come that is for sure. What I am saying is not to forget your roots like I state above.

However you look at that phrase works, and it doesn’t always have to reference your hometown or even family history. No discussion into others thoughts on Warrior refusing to honor where he was originally from instead of “parts unknown” as that has been written but how about the wrestling business in general? Many I believe have forgotten those long ago days of the past, which are so extremely important to remember. You can say ” out with the old and in with the new” but we shouldn’t obliterate and disregard what or who happened first. Without the old, we would never have the new. This can relate to people which I am identifying with, but it certainly can be other ideas too in regards to many events.

Sure, people or places of the past may not want to be remembered in the same way if we had negative experiences or someone broke our trust. The truth is~~~ just because you had a possible horrific time or a person hurt you, it still has to be acknowledged in some way. No, not with an ovation of last week but just recognizing it existed first and continuing moving forward. We have to feel and then heal. The other part of that equation is the good stuff that truly mattered and should still matter. The dirt that gets swept under the rug will resurface eventually but is still part of it all. We can’t forget the roots because that’s where our beginnings are. The positive influences will be remembered differently but also should not be forced out just because of new blood. We all have pasts and everything is part of us. The memories will still be viable without someone’s physical presence.

Are you still with me? I mentioned wrestling so yeah, those were just scenarios but here’s my biggest rant. The WWE did everything they possibly could to bring Warrior back and get him in their HOF years ago which was so incredible and amazing. Yes, 10 years have gone on since that memorable time but that passage should not diminish his character at all and yet it seems to have in my opinion. OK, they released Dana last year as her role really decreased and wasn’t truly needed anymore. They also decided to end the Warrior Award which I don’t have reasons on but perhaps it was too costly or they don’t want the idea of it around anymore. With Dana gone (like I had said weeks ago,) who would present? That part makes sense.

The other choices they made to me were just silly like the wine, really? 🤨🤦🏻‍♀️🍷He drank whiskey so why was U.W. chosen for it along with Taker? I never understood that either. The merch for Warrior items just looks too “cheesy” and not nearly as genuine as before. I know it is a gigantic corporation with mass production, but his logo just seems slapped or should I say~~~ “splashed” on items anymore. They do have much for U.W. which is GREAT but so glad I got an authentic T-shirt years ago from his shop online before it combined with WWE. I’m sure there are those of you who love your Ultimate Warrior gear. I love my few pieces and you surely can. I just feel off about it. They don’t care like they used to and times change, I get that as it does for us all. Maybe some merch aren’t big sellers so business dictates that aspect. Exactly why I am not in that kind of work. 🤷🏻‍♀️

To me though, I truly feel WWE in many ways have forgotten the roots of who they are. You can still honor legends, and they do but perhaps a more exciting way for fans of their generation to enjoy. Not them wrestling anymore~ um- no- but other ideas. That should be separate from the current roster because they deserve to be as it was a past era- the Golden One and before. I realize Warrior had said in his speech about wrestlers knowing when to officially hang up their boots and let the younger guys shine. Of course this is true but we don’t act like they were never part of the business, do we? I will continue honoring Warrior in the way that works for me and that is right here with all of you. WWE and possibly A & E are making a big mistake in not airing that episode. Are they unaware just how many ratings it would generate with his enormous fan base? Perhaps there are other reasons as to why we are uninformed. We may never fully know. I ***DID*** hear it is planning to air in July, we shall see. Why was it originally scrapped, though? True fans will continue to fight for Warrior’s memory despite WWE not as much anymore. I know my roots and in other ways, they run A LOT deeper than just wrestling. It got me to where I am this very day as it did for you too. We all have our own path. My good memories will never just be swept under a rug to be forgotten…

P.S. RANT over. Do you agree? Let me know. Onto a happier post next week! You fans will still honor Warrior in the way you choose to just like me. 💙☺️👏🏻💪🏻

Bad Influence? Nah…🖤🤍💪🏻

It is May. A super busy month for me with so much going on as this is just the beginning… 🥹😭😳 It’ll go fast but like I need to do~~~ breathe through it all and take one day at a time. More milestones as usual and even yet another pic near the very end of this month, but that is weeks away. Today brings “The Blade Runners” part of Warrior’s career into focus ( should I say “FOKE!”) as those pics have never been used. 2 more I believe will be added as NEW but you will have to wait until June to see those. I never posted from that time either so now, they are “running” your way. “Freedom Fighters” pics~~~ I’ve shown a few, but never from his Blade Runner days. There were some creepy poses I couldn’t even look at to use! 😱If I hadn’t known, never could you convince me that guy was Warrior, never.

Bad influence was written on their shirts when working down in Memphis so that got my wheels turning. Many guys (like you all that are fans know) start their careers as heels, villains, or bad- whatever you like to call it. Warrior and Sting were superheroes first as the Freedom Fighters but good guys don’t get notice much, do they? I can and totally disagree but business dictates otherwise sometimes. With a career such as pro wrestling, it’s a lot different being a bad influence than let’s say being that way at the office. You could get fired but in wrestling, people pay more attention to the villains it seems. In our real life, we sometimes feel the need to be “BAD” in order for others to acknowledge us. Yes, Roman Reigns, we acknowledged you.

Who or what are your bad influences and why? It can be exciting for sure but honestly, some of us (like me) just aren’t “wired” for that stuff. Would I have liked Warrior and Sting as the Blade Runners ? Probably not. OK, they were built but as readers know with me, creepy doesn’t work. I would’ve missed the Freedom Fighters with their American look. That’s just me though. When Warrior was younger, he had mentioned getting into trouble but not like the issues of today. He had his reasons for doing so and I believe there were many but when older, nah… I’m not talking about his issues with WWE and wrestling but other legalities. He said Vince and Co. didn’t even have a traffic ticket on him to throw back and say: “See, you ____ ___ .” You can fill in the blank with those two words from that infamous DVD which they were going for back in 2005.

I have posted how my “little” bad things would get noticed but not like others who would do way more destructive or illegal acts. We all choose based on experiences we find ourselves in and don’t want labels attached. When I was in high school, one year I received perfect attendance which is quite the honor and nowadays, my kids had also. Well, being typecast like I was, “perfect” (No, not “Mr. Perfect,” – ha-ha) would never happen again. We all have faked being sick to stay home as kids do but I had my main reason~~~ to not get that award again which embarrassed me. Today, I would be darn proud of being healthy all year but back then, those teen feelings of being seen different as a peer crept in. I wanted and needed to be bad but by MY standards which were still pretty tame.

I also snuck out of class early once to purposely get a detention the next day. I convinced a friend of mine to tag along and she did! Back then though, you’d just work off the detention with the teacher during lunch without staying after school. No big deal. At least yet again, I wasn’t always that “good” girl. I would be so mad at my kids for doing that but we all go through lessons and the pressure is real, at any age. Those are both probably very lame to all reading and being in the present now, I am proud to have done mostly the right things despite not being a bad influence. Don’t get me wrong though. There were plenty of times where I just wanted to do something shocking. I’m not saying a horrific crime here, just stuff unexpected for me but that’s just it, isn’t it? We do all that for others and then possibly feel bad (in a different way) afterwards. Was it worth it? You get to decide. I had stolen a few little items but then went to the store and paid for them. This was way back in my memory while recalling a candy bar 🍫or nail polish💅. Let’s not forget the precious U.W. items I acquired, but those stories have been told. 

We do need to get out of that comfort zone like I have many times. I surprised folks I know years ago with writing a book 📗 so it’s ideas like that we can focus on for the good influences, not bad. Warrior was never a bad influence to me, ever. Maybe as his character he felt that need for power which came across, but it was more about success for him. Sometimes other factors got in the way, but I wouldn’t look at him and think what others may have thought. He was a good guy like he said in his HOF speech but just did life his way. Did that make him a bad influence? Nah… Blade Runners could’ve been but I for one noticed Warrior despite that past. His influence on me was far too great to be bad. I always saw past those “flaws” others inflicted on him. So grateful to know why now. Let’s stick to the good. You’ll get noticed by the right ones. As Warrior had said: “it’s never wrong to do the right thing.” 👍☺️👏🏻

***P.S. NEXT Sunday-May 12th (Mother’s Day) will be WWE’s “Most Wanted Treasures” episode on the A&E network, 9 p.m. ET on the Ultimate Warrior. Make sure and check it out as I am! They will be searching for his WMV gear along with gear from his “Ultimate Maniacs” days with “Macho Man” Randy Savage. *** Let’s hope they don’t switch the date! *** 🤞🏻

Stand Your Ground 👍👏🏻👇

Yes, I have mentioned this plenty of times and of course that guy in the photo did a lot but once again, I got to have a ring side seat. Another dream warriors and I’ll share how it came to be. Recently, I found some WWE A & E documentaries and bios. No, I wasn’t truly looking and watch very little but it was my lunchtime so decided to surf some channels. Lo and behold, I ended up watching bits and pieces of a few. It seemed to be Undertaker as the main event. His biography was just shown but I also caught some of the “Most Wanted Treasures” about Jake Roberts of last year. Despite animosity between him and Warrior back then, I’m always so touched by all the realness and emotion shown by these former wrestlers. You all know this about me now.

So many people interviewed including Bruce Prichard, a.k.a. (“Brother Love”) other talent, family, archivists, and obviously Vince McMahon. I’m not a fan of Bruce’s even though he is one of the top dogs. I also am NOT getting into the scandal concerning Vince but both guys were in this dream along with Warrior and myself. It took place over at WWE HQ with Vince and Bruce pitching some storyline idea to Warrior. His look was probably late 1990. I was nearby as a “liaison” or so it seemed. Whatever this idea was, Warrior did not agree and stormed out. He was getting really angry as they followed him to the dressing room areas.

Warrior started waving his arms and then picking up trash cans while throwing them around. Don’t worry– nobody was injured. Vince and Bruce just kept their cool and let him rant and rave. They seemed exasperated and wanted him to calm down so then in steps me. As it played out, I was the only one able to get him to listen and relax a little. Wish I could remember what made Warrior stand his ground but whatever it was, he wasn’t having any of it. I put my hands up and got him to breathe a little easier. This isn’t to “paint” him in a negative light at all~~(plenty of others do that) but I’m sure things like this happened, even without cameras and with others. Vince and Bruce went back to the office as they knew I could work my magic in a way.

I listened to his side while going over all the pros, cons, and compromises this could entail. He looked me straight in the face and said he just could not do what they were asking of him. He stood his ground once again like with many other times. Maybe a similar situation like this actually happened and I was given an inside scoop or something? Well, I’m not sure but I did either grab his hands or put mine on his shoulders. I didn’t want him running off or picking something else up to throw!

Sorry to keep you all against the ropes but I never found out if he caved just a little or not. Sure hope he wasn’t fired but this next part I do know. Usually during my morning routine, I say the serenity prayer. Words to follow at the end for those unfamiliar. In this dream, I either heard them in my head or said them out loud with Warrior standing there. Hmmm. 🤔They were said regardless and Warrior listened to me. So glad I could be of help. No, I wasn’t on the payroll but just very much around and knew Warrior well. Wow, guess a little of those bios came back in my dreaming state. After all, Jake and Paul Bearer (posthumously) were both inducted into the HOF with Warrior and both were part of those A & E shows. Bruce was in a few too. 2014 again. Can you say “goosies” all over my arms and legs? Yep, I can and did.

It brought to mind when Undertaker’s winning streak came to an end at WrestleMania XXX that same year. First time ever I had seen the crowds reaction– stunned silence with mouths gaping open. Did he stand his ground on this and say: “I want one more win, this year won’t be it for me.” No, he did not and respectfully let the torch pass. There could’ve been many more convos on this but Undertaker obliged. I bet it was extremely hard but was time. Sometimes, it isn’t easy for any of us to do either as it always will depend on those principles too ya know. Warrior did have a right to stand his ground on many things over the years both personally and professionally. We all have to but you need to be the one deciding if it’s worth it or not.

I actually stand my ground more now when it comes to issues that are about being taken advantage of, being a doormat, or personal days with my family. I even stand my ground with this blog also as we need to be proud of who we are and what we do. Yes, life is about compromise but we all know what we maybe could cave on and what we can’t. That dream contained several messages for me but it isn’t just pride. It can become very exhausting emotionally being kind of like that “liaison” I was in the dream. It isn’t all humbleness and not feeling worthy like it used to be for me at all. OK, I am always humbled but now– more sides have been shown to me and the roles get more intense along the way.

We do have to stand our ground but need the balance of seeing the bigger perspective if we can. Learning to soften takes time and a whole lotta patience. Warrior may not have caved on important matters but over the years, evolved into better understanding and perhaps bent just a little. ❤️‍🩹

P.S. I believe this is the first time I didn’t use the word DREAM in a post title for these… Gotta keep some mystery going…,🥱😴And, Vince in a dream was another first too! Bruce? Um– yeah, well it made sense though.., 🙄😬

*** Here is the Serenity prayer:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

*** I do not get very religious on here at all so you can sub out the word God with anything else but that’s the prayer. I always heard it was longer but this is the main part…
