Tag: Smackdown

He’s back! Welcome to August dear readers. How is this school month already for most? Crazy… The “he” I am referring to is about that title above. Yep, the sci-fi cyborg but before that, here’s a little something I noticed. Like I said~~~ I do not watch WWE but here lately I did watch SmackDown and a little of RAW. I had to see the Hulk Hogan tributes as I sure hope they have a separate special on him. With everything he did for the business, he does deserve more than the traditional 10 Bell 🛎️ tribute and a few clips shown. I know they also did a tribute for him this past “SummerSlam” as well. Perhaps that will be it? 🤷🏻‍♀️ The beginning of the shows when they announce their: “ Then, Now, Forever, Together” slogan, many wrestlers are pictured. Ultimate Warrior is part of “ forever.” Many may know this. I love that but yes, they all are forever to me~~~ every generation.

Do any recall “ The Wandering Tent Dream” a few years back? I saw a movie playing that featured Warrior in the starring role as a cyborg. It was science fiction and I totally KNEW in that dream how that was the second movie he made. He was only in “ Firepower” but at the time, a second was in preproduction. There’s a reason I bring this as a topic today. Another dream I had only this time, it was just a photo shown to me~~~ that’s it. The photo? Well, it was one in my “ Wrestle America” magazine from 1993 with Warrior on the cover. The black-and-white pic is him sitting behind a camera on the set of the movie. I have used it on here years ago and he looked so happy. He truly was… That’s all I wanted for him and actually said that to the magazine in the store back then. It was kinda intense but totally makes sense now. 😌

After seeing that photo in my dream (or mind’s eye???) , it got me thinking. Why was I “randomly” shown that? I couldn’t answer for a bit but then as usual, it came to me. I had to go back and reread that article by Dave Rosenbaum to check on a few things. Here’s a quote: “ Don Boyle, who conceived ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’ for TV, wrote a science- fiction movie script with the Warrior in the starring role.” How about THAT readers? I have read this multiple times over these decades but NEVER put it together with the “dream movie” of a few years ago. Warrior left ICM before that project could happen. I would not have remembered the sci- fi connection between that magazine article and my cyborg dream. Ok, maybe he would not have been that way or perhaps the plot couldn’t be exactly the same BUT still a total connection. The photo of Warrior on the “Firepower” set inspired me to think, reread the article, and remember my dream. How truly ultimate…

Here’s another interesting connector. Because of the nature of Warrior’s spirituality, I often wondered later on if he ever explored some of the other aspects that are not religious. I know he was philosophical but how did he navigate through all this higher learning? He was self educated but like previously stated, it came from somewhere, right? Years ago, when this began for me~~~ I pondered if he meditated or looked into other ways of tapping into one’s Higher Self. It is similar to praying. I do both. Meditating = listening, whereas praying = talking. He had to I’m sure. I actually asked that question to some in different forums once. Their answer was all about his fitness. “ He meditated thru his workouts.” OK, that’s a fair statement to say BUT here is where that same article works. Granted, this was from 1993 and not many years after when his life became busier with a family. I hope he still had time to meditate maybe but just in a new way and not just through his intense workouts. Here’s another from the magazine: “ … and isn’t ashamed to admit the beautiful Arizona scenery sometimes causes him to meditate.” That of course was when he was living in AZ alone but it’s there in black and white. Times changed obviously but I am glad to have known that about Warrior. Thanks to the Ultimate one for leading me back towards that “ Wrestle America” piece on Warrior’s life after his longest reign in the WWF.

So, the sci-fi cyborg almost started working on a second movie that is explained a little in that article which I had sort of forgotten. He also meditated back then as many in his later years he considered friends might not have known. Perhaps he discussed little with them on these subjects but I have evidence and a dream to prove otherwise. Some might have that article too. No bragging, just honesty like always. One last thing to end with as it concerns writing so I have to share. A woman I follow on YouTube is an energy practitioner who specializes in healing your nervous system and stress responses. We all need this! Her work is amazing and it’s truly helped me. The reason I reference here is a few other quotes from her work and I echo these sentiments. I hope all of you do too. She states: “ I stand by everything I create. It’s always the best I have to offer at any given moment. Because sometimes the most powerful thing isn’t finding the right answer, it’s returning to the work… and seeing it with new eyes.” ~~~ Sukie Baxter

We won’t have all the answers but do our best in our own way…

Isn’t that powerful? 😮I think it totally fits today because I was seeing the magazine through new eyes 👀 and always standing by what I create. Hopefully you can see Warrior through new eyes too. 🥹It’s the best I can give with these writings. Feel the same about what you give out to this world. It doesn’t have to be writing, dreaming (like me) or even reading. Just do with your whole heart because it’s what we are. My favorite sci-fi cyborg did too, meditating along the way.

*** P.S. Go and listen to “ 80’s wrestling the podcast” with their latest episode, a tribute to Hulk Hogan. I call in around the 42 min. mark. I hope you enjoy… I was very emotional and almost didn’t call in. Am glad I did… ❤️💛
