The Sixth Planet 🪐6️⃣

I’ll get to that title in a minute, but I like to mention a photo if it connects so they do lately. Yes, I’ve referenced WMVII many times as that pic shows Ultimate Warrior getting ready to ask for help from those gods up above. It also shows part of his wrist tattoo but a close-up of the planet Saturn so that’s my focus just a bit today. Saturn is the sixth planet and my post brings in that number once again but I will share a story first. Did you think this was all going to be about Saturn? Nope. It’s another library moment so even if you aren’t a fan of books in that way, I hope you still follow me along today.

So, I wanted a new 📕 as it’s time and I couldn’t think of a possible topic or author. Then, I had a thought and already knew what the probable outcome would be but tried anyway. As some may know, it was revealed to me many years ago how I have this * HUGE* spiritual trait, connection, or attribute that I can’t fully say because of my privacy BUT it’s real. I have several videos saved and articles, but have never looked at possible books. Yes, there are many online to purchase like from Amazon as I’ve checked but I’m not fully interested in owning one. Well, off to the big library I went while browsing stacks on my own first. I then made my way to a librarian while still maybe hanging onto hope that a book could come my way. 🤞🏻 Mind you, this is not entirely mainstream or a “main event” and is very rare indeed.

She looked and nothing came up but they do contact other libraries across the state so never say never right? The answer came up negative as I lost that match but at least can say I tried. I was OK with that as I’m sure what I could read would not totally “lock up” with my journey but still fascinates me. I have said this term is mentioned in a book I do OWN but it is synonymous with another popular term which I did share in the past. When I first read that in my book, it didn’t totally bother me but then when finding out more~~~ it did. It really shouldn’t. No worries, we all just try to educate ourselves the best we can~ at least I hope most of you do. If feeling “Ms. Resistance”coming my way, I will read or watch my few videos as I know in my heart what is true~~~ like my NOUS of last week. My family even is unaware of this about me as I don’t share it with many…. Warrior mentioned past lives and evolutions so that is very much part of this for me. He even spoke of this spiritual attribute that I am.

Let’s get into that 6th planet of Saturn. I’m not getting into Saturn per se, but just how some may have thought Warrior was from another planet and like I say, I could be too~~~ ya never know! This next part concerns the book I actually DID get at the library that day. I never leave empty handed! Have any of you readers heard of “ The Enneagram?” You probably haven’t as I did not either until last year when hearing about it on a popular podcast I listen to. I have been following this psychic medium for years now as she is quite famous. I own one of her books and referenced it in mine. Her name is Rebecca Rosen. She also has referenced MY spiritual trait many times in her work…. The Enneagram is a personality test similar to others out there.

It is made up of 9 different quizzes you answer honestly without much thought. Think of it as using your intuition and not a lot of logic! The questions are short and you list an A= agree, N= neutral, or D =disagree. Each quiz has 10 questions and you add your total for them separately. It is then divided into 9 personality types based on how you answer. Well, if you can connect earlier here~~~ yep, I got a 6!!! Can you believe it? Saturn, ha ha! That number warriors shows up always it seems. The sixes are called “loyal skeptics.” Some of the traits fit but some I believe have evolved through me over time. One aspect was about rules but I’m not much of a rule keeper these days! It goes on and can get a little complicated similar to numerology if you follow that.

There are numbers near yours that can influence so mine would be 5 and 7, which are in between 6. They are your “wings.” You also have a security number which mine is 9 and a stress number which mine is 3. It’s a big circle with other shapes mixing in lining up numbers. Enneagram is Greek just like how nous originated and means “nine” for the personality types. It started decades ago and was brought to the U.S. in the 1960s. I’m not basing my entire life on this just like with other practices, but I do love learning. The Enneagram can help build self love, (which is so needed) relationships ,and more awareness into why people are the way they are.

If only we can get others to take the quizzes to truly see but one can if you choose. It’s still cool as I am getting more into the book. We all have pros and cons and I for one truly want to explore how to better myself so as to not repeat lessons. Feel free to look up the Enneagram yourself if so inclined. If anything, do it for fun! You might totally agree with your type, but then also not so much.

I’m grateful to have access to these many spiritual tools to help me navigate my warrior journey more. So much has been explained but new knowledge is gained all the time. My actual term or trait may never truly be known to the world for obvious reasons (as you would know if I shared why) but little ideas help along the way. Few know in my circle. We may also never fully know if any of us are from another planet either (if you think about it,) but that doesn’t really matter. We just do the best we can while we are here and move forward. I did look up Saturn’s characteristics before but here’s a refresher: discipline, hard work, confidence, stability, perseverance, and others. It’s a masculine energy too. Doesn’t it all sound like Warrior? They do to me. My number 6 good qualities are these: reliable, trustworthy, loyal, courageous, perceptive, and others. The weaknesses or challenges? Well, I can work on those. The good stuff? All me…

P.S. The book is called: “ The Enneagram and You” by Gina Gomez. * There are many out there.*

P.P.S. There are SIX chapters in the book AND June (right now) is the SIXTH month!!! 😯☺️

That Time Again

🧡💚💛

Hey warriors~~~ it’s already the end of another month as next week begins April once again… 😳 We are almost 4 months into 2025 as I still hope you are Rockin’ those goals! This time of year brings my annual “numbers” if you will. Most regular readers know and if you’re thinking: “this again?” Ah well, it’s what I do just like things you all like to do. First off, I wanna share a few personal family events before I slam into UW memories today.

In 2️⃣ days, my son will turn 21. Oh my goodness, we have another milestone as my heart 🥹🥳 gets excited yet bittersweet at the same time. Being in his college pep band meant he got the opportunity to travel with the basketball team who won the MAC championship🏆 ! My husband and I attended that super thrilling exciting game, which ended at the buzzer with his Akron ZIPS winning by two points! It could’ve gone into overtime but did not. Those ZIPS were down at one time by 18 and rallied back to punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament. 👏🏻🏀They have gotten this far before but usually lose after the first round… He got to fly out to Seattle, Washington for round one against Arizona. They also were able to sightsee much in the area as well for a great trip out west! He hadn’t been on a plane ✈️ since he was 12 and did very well. I’m so happy he got such a wonderful chance to be there. I loved seeing all his photos and videos as it’s great having him home a bit for spring break.

Having said that, let’s move onto my yearly dates. To begin, Ultimate Warrior was part of 6️⃣ WrestleManias. Six. Yep, you read that right as this number gets a mention again. Should I list them in order by the dates or WM’s? I’ll do the WM’s~~~ at least the 3 for March. WMIV between Ultimate Warrior and “The Mighty Hercules” will be tomorrow on the 27th, WMVII between UW and “ Macho King” Randy Savage was on the 24th, (this past Monday) and WM XII between UW and Hunter Hearst Helmsley ( Triple H) will be this coming Monday the 31st. Got them all? 1988, ‘91, and ‘96. The other 3 will be mentioned in April. Two very short matches and one longer this month. First as well was UW’s PPV of WMIV marking his debut and WMVII being the WWF’s first ever “ Career Ending Retirement Match.” WMXII marked UW‘s return after 3.5 years gone, but I know fans know those stats.

Do you have a favorite WM with UW? Bet I can guess which few are pretty close to being a tie as I’ve seen much with social sites over the years. It’s pretty obvious to many as one is reserved for next time. 🥰 To be at any would’ve been such an incredible thrill, I cannot even imagine. Always more of a bonus if UW was your favorite and WON! We like that don’t we? Just a recap in another way here~~~ a few more stats I will list. So, it’s been 37 years since WMIV, 34 years since WMVII and 29 for WMXII. Next year are BIG numbers for 2 on this list which means then, all of UW’s WM’s will hit 30+. WOW… 😮 If a fan, can you recall what you were doing in your life for all of them or what age you were? I was always a teen and beyond, from going on 16 to going on to 24. 8 years total, how about that? 1988 to 1996 in all. He had 5 in a row and then 4 years later came back to have his last WM to ever be part of. More on this next time…

Another exciting piece of info to share concerns a recent workshop I attended on manifesting with my beautiful new energy healer. We were a small group of just 4, including her but it was an inspiring time connecting, sharing, and meditating together. I tend to get woozy so had to sit up near the end as no more weak stomach for me. 🤢 Some of you may remember… Anyways, our leader is writing a book as she had mentioned before~ so I brought up mine, just a little. After all, it was in the store but not sure where it got moved as we couldn’t locate it afterwards. The other woman in the group recently just received beautiful 🪶 feathers from a friend who insisted they were for her, but she didn’t truly know why. Cue Kathy to jump or should I say “run” in with that conversation! I honestly don’t know if that meant for her to be guided to my book but she was interested and we decided to meet up so she could purchase. We have not met up yet but hopefully soon. 🤞🏻 I don’t carry copies with me anymore but always so special when, despite the wrestling angle~~~ someone is wanting to know more about the spiritual aspect. I do hope she enjoys it and as you regulars know, SO MUCH more has been written since its inception in 2017. I’m excited to read my healer’s book (when it comes out) as it totally connects for me in many ways. I might just do a nature park adventure with the group again soon if the weather warms up and sticks around! These 30° temperature drops are not good for my skin here in Ohio… 😦

Here’s to a beautiful spring for all my northern friends and if you follow, WMXLI is weeks away. What will happen? Do you care? I care a little but we shall see if that gets a write up here or not. Happy 21st 🎂 🍺🎈 also to my son and to all of you~~~ keep manifesting your goals while moving forward as the warrior you need to be…oh- and yes~~~ I DO watch the WM’s that I OWN on their anniversary dates! ( I would not watch WMV though!) ☹️ I own half of them (:

P.S.

Here’s info on my book if interested: You know I had to mention after this post, right?

*** It’s available on Amazon and other book retailers. It’s a short read which details my beginnings in following wrestling, Ultimate Warrior’s career, and much on the SIGNS I received from him in spirit… I mention humor, ( of course!) family stories, my psychic traits, and lots more!!! *** 🩷💚🧡📗

Calm Before the Storm 🙏🏻⛈️

I’m going to start off today with a few little things before getting into the blog. I hope all you readers are doing well as these many holidays are fast approaching near the end of the year. A quick honorary mention needs to be written about last week concerning the post on redemption and revenge. I cannot believe I left out WMVII. After all, had it not been for the “Macho King’s” interference with his scepter, UW might’ve still been the champ. I know, I know it was all planned~~~ but loyal readers may recall my post where I discussed that 1991 Royal Rumble against Sergeant Slaughter. It was called “ The Stories We Tell” on 7/19/23. Sarge told a little different story as that became a rant of mine! Anyways, UW got his revenge with a win at that Career Ending Retirement Match. Redemption for sure. ☺️

The next topic is yet again about a pic. The one below today is just a random shot, but I left my blinds in the background. I could’ve used my other DVD player to avoid the blinds but decided to keep it in as is. I think it’s funny and I am not an editing queen!*** Well, now that those two convos are over, I’ll move on. Did you ever just feel like it’s the calm before the storm? How about if your metaphoric plate was full, got emptied, and then super full again. Yep, that’s me right now. I guess life is like that but why is it always like 1 million things on that plate? 😩

I’ve been feeling under the weather lately and so has my family. I’m actually not overwhelming myself with holiday shopping that much but other things creep their way in and remain for a while. I do like to stay busy but then more stuff gets added to the plate, which makes me scream! UGH!!! My daughter has decided to change colleges in order to commute and go locally. So, we need to get her car before the semester begins mid January. At least the kids won’t be rivals anymore. She just isn’t happy but in a few years after we move, she’ll resume her studies where she started and get her degree. I thought she may last the entire year there, but it isn’t meant to be. *** Before that, I do hope for positive vibes as we are hosting Thanksgiving this year and she needs the other family support. We also have visitors that haven’t been here in years~~~ my sister’s family, who recently moved back here in the summer. They were here for the graduation party but not inside for a holiday. The calm before the storm indeed…

We will be going to my niece’s wedding the week before Christmas in Tennessee that my husband and I will be attending. I haven’t seen some of my brothers kids in years so I’m looking forward to those reunions. Again, though~~~ some can cause drama so I can only hope it all goes well. I am slowly taking off from the plate, piece by piece. My girl also gets her wisdom teeth out over winter break, 🦷 my son starts a new job that he’s super excited about, and my mom will be turning 80 Christmas Eve. I will definitely need some calm after those events.

Phew, let’s talk about a wrestling career. I know the guys had little calm or downtime as their plates were always full. It was just their lifestyles which they chose for themselves. Sometimes, it takes years before any of them~~~ like Warrior would be able to enjoy a much less full plate 🍽️ and less of a storm if you will. I do better with a few things at a time or my anxiety goes into overdrive. It’s this time of year but also other family stuff called life. I love much about the Holidays but the people you spend your time with matters. Sometimes, it’s a struggle but I tell myself that I do enough and that’s it. We have to be ourselves whether others agree or not. Warrior was all about that for sure and it’s something I need to remember always, no matter what is happening around me.

I also get affected by cosmic energies, whether any of you readers understand that or not. My shifts are happening and it’s all for the good but that is why I seek the energy work. I feel lots deeply and need to remember as well to not give my energy away to just anybody. It isn’t healthy for my systems. You might be confused by this and that’s OK. Just know it is part of my journey and one I need to keep healing. I had the calm, but then another storm started brewing…

Our plates will never be completely empty all the time warriors and that’s how it’s supposed to be. We do need to find the balance though or our bodies and minds will tell us. Sit with it for a bit as I’ve said before and I’m doing that too. We have to believe all will work out for us and have that intuition to know it’s true. What do you do when things seem to overwhelm or your plate is overflowing? I hope you can find the calm despite some storms possibly coming on the horizon. Be the warrior you were meant to be, which is to fight with all that you have~~~ always.

Even if it’s just for a few moments, get a little time to calm and declutter that plate. There will be storms, but it’s all in how we handle it, right? I am grateful Warrior finally found his calm which is what he truly needed, we all do. Do what you can and know it’s enough, even with this busy or chaotic holiday season. Stand your ground and tackle that plate one day at a time. Tell your mind that it’s OK to be calm and it will eventually listen. Get that warrior strength and never let it go. It will stay with you through all of life storms…

P.S. Here’s my ‘91 Royal Rumble Rant!

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! 💃

Hit the “PAUSE” button ⏏️😐

Hello warriors and to those in the Northern Hemisphere~~~ happy Spring or Vernal Equinox. 🪱🐛🌷🪺🪴 That happened yesterday ( although we had a mini 🥶 blizzard) when the daylight equals the nighttime, just like Fall or Autumn. You’ll see me down below with one of our many flowers blooming this time of year- 🌼 ~ daffodils. I took that pic last week. Guess what? Those purple tulips STILL have roots, stems, and leaves. I wonder when or if the buds will appear? They usually *** POP*** that first week of April so I will wait and see… 🤞🏻 Oh, when, taking this month’s “selfie”, my ear started ringing. How beautiful. 😊🥹

How is your year going so far during this seasonal change? You know what I did a few months back? I made a list of GOALS, not resolutions. When I open my notebook to journal quotes and such, I see them right on my loose page tucked in. Attainable goals that is and here are a few:

***Read more 📚 , (of course!) try new supplements that are safe and healthy, clean🪣🧽 with less chemicals, stretch my core more with new exercises, 💪🏻eat more fruits/veggies and less junk, ~ (SO HARD!!! ) 😲 see my Healer more, ( highly suggested) follow my intuition more, avoid drama when necessary, set more healthy boundaries, honor my emotions, release attachments to things out of my control, become more grateful for little things, honor change as it happens, manifesting our future home, being authentically “ME” despite critics, finding like- minded people, and a *** FEW*** others…

Yes, I wrote ALL that down as Warrior would approve. Do any of you do this or have you? I have mentioned goals before, but is it a yearly thing with me? Nope, as I sometimes neglect but always have right minded intentions. Some of those remain quite challenging for me as your list could be for you. Like I said last week, we must “do the work” however it is.

Despite all that, it is still a pause time for me. After Easter, the school year goes so incredibly fast as then we seem to be in hyperdrive. This is especially true with having a senior in high school… 😬🥹 *** It’s also WrestleMania season so happy 33rd, (great number!) to WMVII in a few days. How is 40 going to go? I finally looked up the card but most of course are consumed by the title once again this year. Will Hulk Hogan’s streak remain if Cody wins it finally from Roman? Yet another we shall see moment for sure🤔. The tag team match with The Rock returning will definitely make this year’s Mania 40 super exciting. *** Guess what ELSE my brother told me? SummerSlam this year will be at none other than our very OWN Cleveland Browns football stadium in August👏🏻😁🏈!! ! How incredible for this town! I am so happy! That capacity is around what it was at Skydome for WMVI but WWE is hoping for 70,000!! They were here in 1996 for S. S. but where our basketball team plays. If Ultimate Warrior hadn’t left, I bet he would’ve been there. *** PAUSE*** moment for me here…

We need to hit that pause button sometimes warriors, even when we don’t want to. It’s like pressing the snooze button when you want those extra 5 minutes of sleep in the morning. Do phones even have that feature? I wouldn’t know as I am probably in the minority with not keeping my phone by my bed or using it as an alarm. Nope, not for me in many ways. We have this go, go, go society but often times, we need to listen to our gut of when it is time to pause. We also don’t need to be in hyperdrive feeling the comfort for downtime. Just giving yourself a few minutes of YOU or ME time is all that’s needed. Being alone, or in a quiet frame of mind is healthy and so beneficial to us in many ways.

What do you do when needing to say pause for just a bit? I have my slowing down indoors for winter but even then it can’t be a constant busyness of crazy. This is the time that’s the calm before the storm in a way for me. Every year is a little different but so many “DOOZIES” all creeping up on their OWN just waiting to converge. In the midst of it all, instead of attacking it full force as many might think a warrior would, I will do what I can, when I can, and even *** PAUSE** through the moments. No rush, just staying present for each one and giving the right amount of me every time.

If it is any different, I will be “running” too fast like the Ultimate Warrior did and may feel like I missed it fully. I recall watching a backstage clip of Warrior interacting with Sgt. Slaughter during WMXXX weekend and how he mentioned something similar. Warrior wanted to remember peoples faces and interact with them more but being who he was in the business made that so difficult to do. He made a joke about Sarge’s face but I totally understood what he meant. I’m so grateful Warrior was able to hit pause, just somewhat on his life after wrestling without feeling the need to constantly be on the go. He wants that for all of us here *** NOW*** ya know? At least that is what I believe. How can us warriors not know that?

I sometimes wish I had that feature of a real pause button like on a remote we sometimes see played out in movies. It’s when so much is going on in a scene and then it pauses. Everything freezes and becomes silent for just a few seconds for that one character. You know what I’m talking about, right? That’s what we need to do only without all the effects. Even if you have to excuse yourself for a few moments, do it! Take that time to just settle despite the chaos. We can’t freeze time, but just find the calm in the storm. No storm ⛈️🌪️ lasts forever. Hit the *** PAUSE*** button when needed warriors. Your own self will say: ” thank you, I needed this…” 🙏🏻😌😵‍💫🫵🏻🤍

The Stories We Tell… 🤫🙄😬

Oh, my yes. The stories we tell, they tell, she tells, he tells, or anybody else tells. I’m bringing wrestling back into this arena for a topic today. First off though, who remembers (yes, you have to be older here!) playing the game of “telephone” as a kid? One person would whisper a saying or phrase in another’s ear, and then it gets passed through the group until the last one says it out loud. If you get it right, super! Most times, it is all mixed up and misunderstood. Then, we have a good laugh but as adults, that isn’t always the case. We will get things off about a story from time to time. Sometimes, it can be a memory loss but other times, it can be to keep our ego in check. We might recall an event different than another but is it because it’s too far in our past or because we want to feel better? If you’re wrong, just own up to it as I am doing but others will not ever or just keep telling that story to not be the “bad guy.”

Sergeant Slaughter didn’t start out as a bad guy (a.k.a. “Razor Ramon”) but then later on, he became one. That photo below depicts Ultimate Warrior shooting one of several Sgt. Slaughter promos before their 1991 “Royal Rumble” match. U.W. fans know all too well what happened but here’s a story that’s been told by Sarge himself. I do like Sarge and so glad he and Warrior had a funny reunion moment backstage at the 2014 HOF but about that match… I recently heard him on “80’s wrestling the podcast” and my~~~ is he quite the storyteller! Very interesting guy to listen to and maybe fans know his version of their R. R. match.

According to Sarge, he had no idea Randy was going to hit U.W. in the head with the “royal” scepter, and knock him out. He claims Warrior wasn’t moving so Sarge went in for the cover, pinned U.W. and became the new champ which set him up to wrestle Hulk at WMVII . OK, I have some discrepancies with that. On “The Ultimate Collection” and “Always Believe” DVD’s , Warrior explains how they came to him (meaning Vince and whoever else,) and said Randy would get him to lose the belt which would then set up for WMVII being Sarge versus Hulk plus the retirement match between Warrior and Randy. Warrior says he liked the idea and didn’t really give it much more thought than that.

I could be naïve when it comes to wrestling “scripts” as guys went rogue from time to time, but REALLY? One would not be told all that when winning a title belt and the BIGGEST one? Vince loved Sarge. Come on Sarge, what’s going on there? He knew he’d be winning, but maybe not getting the pin at that exact moment of Warrior getting knocked out. He tells the story of thinking Randy really clobbered Warrior with that scepter since he used to play baseball so maybe…? 🤔 Was Warrior really knocked unconscious for a bit? I don’t know and don’t believe he ever addressed that in any interview I have seen. Perhaps nobody ever thought to ask Warrior about that. Would Vince just let them be that spontaneous when a title was on the line? Why wouldn’t Sarge know? So many questions. Quite possibly this is a story WWE wants Sarge to tell for dramatic reasons but we all are guilty of these E’s~~~ embellish, exaggerate, and eliminating parts. Yep, it’s true. We might even elaborate, but with me, it’s a good thing.

Maybe in fame, the stories they tell need those E’s to create a ruse with fans keeping them guessing all these years later. I’m not sure, but in real life honesty matters as there are those who still want to always come out looking good. If anyone can correctly tell the REAL story of that 1991 Rumble match, I would love to hear it. Many folks in these wrestling circles just assume without even checking other sources. Maybe Warrior knew more as well but he isn’t here anymore to ask. Sarge is though. It’s a great story but filled with gaps if you ask me.

What stories have you told that maybe got another wondering about the details? I can think of many and most involve my siblings and remembering memories just a little differently. I’m rarely wrong because of my memory as I stated before but sometimes, a few people are WAY off. It bugs me. The wrestling business is filled with tons of stories told. Just watch those “shoot” interviews I’ve mentioned which I don’t anymore . I so wish fans would stop posting when most are against Warrior .UGH! If you’re in a “fan” group, why bother? It just causes weird drama and comments we don’t need despite what happened in the past. People want their “say” though… “The right story is the full story” like Warrior said, but others may disagree on its validity.

We may not share or tell a story in its entirety for many reasons as Warrior might not have either but sometimes, that’s OK. We all have privacy but also details might not matter in a few areas. It all depends. What bothers me is when I have a happy memory and someone doesn’t remember it the same. 😧 That makes me sad but our memories can be selective. It isn’t just when older either. I do hope the Sarge Rumble story will one day be told correctly but until then, I will have my doubts. I don’t share or tell all MY stories either for my own purposes but when I do, it’s me in all honesty. Fame does have its price but it’s too hefty of a price tag for me… 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😑

P.S. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had told a story on his series “Young Rock” about a time very early in his career on finally getting a push in the business. Whoever he wrestled that night back as Rocky Maivia,( I forget who…) his opponent told him IN the ring- I believe, how “Rocky” would get his first big win. He had no idea and was shocked at the time to know that. So, it happens am sure and maybe today as well, no clue.. That was NOT for a title though!

The Ultimate Madness 😳😬

Here we are already in this month of July warriors! 7 months with the year of 7 . Yesterday, marked Independence Day here in the U.S. so plenty of fireworks, parades, and cookouts all over celebrating our country’s birthday. I hope everyone stayed safe and well while remembering our freedoms to never take for granted. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🧨🥳🎆🎇

That pic below is from a promo where the Ultimate Warrior was addressing “Macho King” Randy Savage all about their upcoming WMVII retirement match. I still have two pics left on my phone, but that got interrupted since I had to use one of those promos today. Yes~ I HAD to. This next part is why. One day last week, I had the “Always Believe” DVD out and decided to watch a few promos while beginning my stretches in the living room. I know I have used that face paint of U.W’s before but during one of the many segments about Randy, my DVD stopped and popped out of the player. OK, things happen sometimes~ I get it. Those 15 stitches in the top of his head had to mean something, ha ha! I thought, all right I’ll just try again. Shortly after the promo began once more, I got those “goosies” all over my arms and legs plus the ear ringing. Double signs. Awww, thanks Warrior. I love those Ultimate Madness Randy memories too. Happy tears for me. 🥹💙

This next one details a very brief little dream. Remember how in my P.S. of the previous week I mentioned the 15th anniversary of his last match in Spain? Well, this dream was the night after. I had watched a few YouTube videos commemorating that date, so it manifested with this dream. At least that’s what I felt so I honor it always. In the dream, I was sitting on my couch watching some kind of bio or documentary on Warrior while using the laptop. I rarely use that for such a purpose. Here’s where I am still a little dazed and confused. I vividly recall waking to my alarm at 6:00 AM and getting up to physically turn it off for real. No, it is not right next to my bed and I am glad for this. I need to move or then snooze and we can’t have that. I usually shut it off and lie back down for 5 minutes (or so) and that’s what I tell myself. Well, 15 minutes had passed! That dream happened and I’ll share more in just a few. What I can’t figure out was the timing that early morning. Was that dream going on before 6 and then became continued during those extra 15 minutes I fell back asleep or did it come about before hand? Usually I know but not that time. Hmmm, indeed… Would 15 minutes even matter? 🤔😴

Getting back to some dream details, I can clearly picture seeing a snake 🐍in that bio! Why would THAT be in a show about Warrior? Maybe because he was inducted into the HOF with Jake Roberts in 2014? I don’t know. There’s the whole bit with Jake “helping” Warrior during the Undertaker mess in ’91 so maybe but that was over 30 years ago! Another thought I had was (and fans don’t come my way with a bag of quarters!) but I DID always want to watch the A & E bio on Jake. You U.W. fans can be upset at that but his backstory is incredible and yes, I am unbiased. At least most of the time… Those are my reasons for a snake being in the Warrior doc as our brain takes memories or even our “to do” list along into dreamland. I’m thinking more of the present with Jake’s bio. I can’t remember what else the movie was about but I wanted to share it with the U. W. FB group in the dream. There was not an option to do that as I scrambled around looking for one. I’m not even sure I ever shared it or not. The dream seem to end there but the connectors are odd in a way. I still think U.W. will have an episode of “Most Wanted Treasures” so that could be the thinking as well. Who truly knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t even know if I’d had that dream at all if I never watched those videos about Warrior’s last match. Crazy but I take them all like always. Let’s just keep the snake out of it next time, OK Warrior? It was HUGE too just slithering by…. Ultimate madness again just in a different way.

The last moment I will share is definitely a goodie. I really won’t say ultimate madness on this one and I share A LOT about them being signs. Yes, OK ~~~ I got another Bluejay feather. I’m sure you are tired of me posting on those like my music, but I gotta stress my comfy Warrior reminders so read on or not… My husband and I were walking the dog and this was the night after that crazy snake bio dream. So, all still recent together as I’ll include for another 3 count. The jays do fly around this one area on the street by a pond back-and-forth as I have found a few there before. I just smile as it gets placed in my pocket while checking on it often during the walk. It was ultimate to see and find, as I still keep those. Was it madness though? Nah, but good madness maybe yes! You can believe what you wish as I will do the same. They are talking to me outside now as I type this… ☺️

A“Macho King” promo getting interrupted, an anniversary getting manifested into a weird bio snake dream, 🤭and for the finishing move, getting a Bluejay feather. My ding, ding, ding, 3 count of Warrior connections all within a few days. The ultimate madness comes in many forms as I just keep moving forward to let it all flow in ways just for me. I always believe in ears ringing ( spiritually…) , “goosies” , dreams, feathers, and um- SIGH- snakes!!!

P.S. We were leaving the grocery store the other day getting a few things and in the parking lot, I happened to turn somewhat. I saw this man wearing the red, white, and blue U.W. logo with the mask on his shirt!!! He was celebrating the holiday for sure! I RARELY see any apparel anymore so another ultimate madness moment… I am so glad he was (and IS) a fan!

❤️🤍💙👏🏻

Time for Transitions 🫶🏻💎

I really shouldn’t be writing today at all but I am. The reason being is that it is my (our) 20th wedding anniversary. 💕 Guess I’m sharing this day with Warrior writings, imagine that. 🥰 Don’t think one of these Wednesdays has ever been a milestone in my life, just Warrior’s. Another first as I continue. I have a personal birthday milestone coming up in a month but it doesn’t fall on a Wednesday!

That pic you see of Warrior was from a promo he made after “Macho King” Randy Savage cost him to lose the heavy weight belt to Sgt. Slaughter at the Royal Rumble of 1991. This led up to WMVII’s “Career Ending” match between Warrior and Randy. If you give this one a listen or know of it at all, Warrior mentions “the 15 stitches in the top of my head” incurred as a result of that scepter hitting him “unconscious” so he loses the belt. I love how he mentions a crystal that the doctors left in. So dramatic indeed as a reminder of “Macho King’s” kingdom but also a reference to a piece of the WWF title that had belonged to both of them at one time. I have worked with REAL crystals as part of my spiritual practice for years. They are very powerful. That is of course if you believe in all that which I do. I did save that promo but not just for the crystal reference, ha ha.

That brings us to this title of transitions today. Warrior didn’t mind that transition of losing the belt to Sarge as he wasn’t about having one all the time. That was easy for him as some things in all of our lives are not that hard transitioning to. Me, well– that word itself is HARD in my life but accepting it and evolving we must all do. My son is transitioning to college in just a few days for a full week of band camp before classes officially begin. That day is jam packed with lots of other stuff-believe it or not so no time to dwell until later on when it will HIT me. Yes, we will see him soon enough but not daily and I need my warrior strength to get me through.

We all have those transitional times in our lives that are such biggies and as parents, it’s a constant watching our kiddos grow. This has definitely been a HUGE milestone year for me but as a warrior, I battle on like we all need to do. How do you handle those transitory times in your life? I bet some are pretty easy but then the big decisions require more thought and emotion for sure. I had a simple transition from marriage and then motherhood as those were goals I was very prepared and ready to take on. Plus, a career before hand which I strived for and loved. That went into marriage briefly but not mothering.

I can mention the WWF transitioning from Hulk to Warrior but that’s been brought up enough so I’ll let that be. Oh, many professional and personal things that were part of Warrior’s life that he had to transition into and some of course we will never experience but look at your own. What’s been the hardest to do and why is it that way? The easy stuff comes and goes in the blink of an eye but some linger and take much longer. I’ve mentioned before about Warrior making his transition to “parts unknown” as that is our biggest on Earth when those life lessons are done. Not to dwell on sorrow so let’s go to the joy. Despite negative parts of our transitions, we can and will get to the good eventually.

These past few years have especially been in transit for me in many ways from being scared and unsure to finding answers and relief. I believe our entire lives are filled with constant transitions really but at times, we need space to just relax and breathe. If you have a hard time doing anything else, remember that breath inside you which gives you life every single day. Warrior said this often. Besides that, another factor we need is rest. Yes, that was extremely hard for Warrior to do and I was never a napper much either. Transition for sure. I take naps sometimes now as my body tells me when they are needed.

Even little things like breathing and resting we take for granted and never think those would concern us. Well, our lives all take different turns and despite my objections, was told I needed to be mindful in order to heal. Transitions are hard warriors but fighting them means they stick around. What we resist, persists. Have you heard of that? It’s true. Most of us don’t get what we truly need but we try all the time or at least we should anyways. Not sure if Warrior was ever a napper much (probably not) but he came around over the years to being more aware of the little stuff that amounts to the big. I do believe he was always knowing in many aspects but got those chances with time to slow down in a different way. Maybe it wasn’t our way of slowing but it was his and he transitioned like he needed to.

That’s it for now warriors as I transition to whatever else this day of my 20 years of married life brings. I already meditated and used some crystals so that’s my slowing down and breathing time. Warrior doesn’t need a crystal to be in his kingdom. He shines brighter than any diamond as a spirit all the time. Let’s move through all our transitions the best we can. Remember to BREATHE and always REST…

All The Likes #30 💙💙

We have made it to yet another DATE of a milestone. WrestleMania VII was 30 years ago TODAY which is blog day for me. Another one is coming next week, who can guess? 🤔For today, it’s those two above that I have all the likes for. I’ve done enough posts on them together but of course had to celebrate their WrestleMania as friends. They also had all the likes and respect for one another and I know with their energy, they still do…

I decided to get back with a more easy going topic and it’s been in my head a while now. These silly things made me go back and forth with sharing but as many know, ideas come running just like the Ultimate Warrior himself! WMVII was the ONLY time he never ran to the ring, hmmm… This one is about a few of the “likes” Warrior and I both have but not exactly similar to past posts. I’ve mentioned libraries or books, a movie, (The Lion King) music or songs,(think the band Firehouse) climate, geography, and even our beliefs. Now, it’s time for food.

Yes, we all probably remember how disciplined Warrior was with eating but a few items stand out for me. Fans will recall he and Steve Borden (Sting) eating tuna out of a can and then Warrior continued that years later. I did post about a missing tuna can once and have eaten it out of a can as well. It does have a bit of a kick that’s for sure! 😳🐟

I have fond childhood memories of my mom making tuna fish sandwiches or tuna on toast and even on saltines. Always loved it. Maybe you do too but I still love it today. It just makes me smile thinking of Warrior. I know he ate it for different reasons and yes- it is good for you, minus the mayo and extras! All the likes here too.

Another “foodie” is coffee ice cream. I can’t have either of those right now because of my “tummy issues” but here’s my fun connector with Warrior. Way back, Dana had mentioned Warrior’s like of coffee ice cream. Very rarely did he indulge but it made me think of a story that happened almost 19 years ago. I had always wanted to try it but knew I’d be up all night since coffee affects me. It is not a morning treat for me together. My husband and I were on our honeymoon in the Poconos of PA which I have also mentioned before too. If I could attach another pic here, I would. He took a photo of me standing on top of Mt. Pocono holding my coffee ice cream cone. So, in case any are wondering- nope, didn’t sleep much that night considering I had this yumminess later in the day. All the likes though yet again.

The last food reference ( ya know there had to be a 3 count!) would be chocolate almonds. I have always loved nuts but another no-no for me right now, ugh! Dana had shared more little insights into Warrior likes and this was one of them. I think she talked about when they’d all go to the movies and chocolate almonds were his choice. Am sure again it was a rare experience but enough for me to keep in my brain. One day shortly after knowing that, my husband brought home a bag and set it on our kitchen counter. I gasped thinking how I just found out about chocolate almonds and Warrior. He says to me: “We never had these before and I thought you’d like them.” I just stared at the bag and chuckled. All the likes one more time.

You may be thinking that I copied or emulated Warrior but I assure you that is not nor will it ever be the case with me. Another post was written about not doing things because someone else does them or likes them. This is just me being me. I will admit thought how it is very different when a celebrity likes or liked something you do and how it makes one feel. It’s not the same as when let’s say you and your aunt both like olives on pizza. Your reaction is not going to be anything close to the reaction with a famous person.

You also may have these food stories or others I’ve mentioned similar to Warrior. Many of you will also have tons more to add with my list. I just shared to give everyone a good laugh and to remind how we are just people deep down with all the likes. I don’t go searching for connectors but like to know we had stuff in common. Fans do that in their own way, including me. You may agree or think I’m “nuts” ( pun intended!) but ah well, these are my writings after all!!!

I will always have all the likes for those two Superstars together and not just with their WMVII match. I will also have all the likes with Warrior that are forever in my memory. You will have yours too. Just laugh about them and know we are all connected in many ways. HAPPY 30th WMVII!!!!!!! 3/24/91.

P.S. I wonder if there were any foods Randy really liked? I have heard how he drank LOTS of coffee! 😂☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

What’s Your Plan B?

Several weeks ago I mentioned how “It’s Never One Thing” as to why we like or dislike things. I discussed hobbies or interests and your feelings behind them. This post takes that idea a little further. I made you a YouTube video that I’ll link at the end since we all need a plan B. So many times I’ve said how glad I felt that Warrior always had a plan B. I have several as well. Do you? Once your 9-5 has possibly ended for that time in your life, then what? Warrior had other outlets besides wrestling and I have others besides this blog! If this scares you a little, maybe that’s good.

My advice is to become interested in other activities now before your actual “career” comes to an end. Nobody wants panic to set in without going to that job everyday. That brings us to the word of retirement. Some love that word, others dread it. Most that dread it don’t have a plan B.

Sure, the Ultimate Warrior had that “retirement” match with “Macho King” Randy Savage in Wrestlemania VII. Well, that was on T.V. although unprecedented for the WWE then. Retirement isn’t what it used to be. Not many begin that chapter at age 65 anymore, move to Florida, or travel in a Winnebago. Where did all that come from anyway? Some may never fully retire as is the case concerning a few people connected with WWE.

Many have children now as Superstars or are involved in the business with other aspects. I have always agreed with Warrior about moving on but he does state on the Ultimate Collection DVD how respect is given to those “who live and breathe the business.” Being a pro athlete takes its toll physically, mentally, and psychologically. Some may never fully leave the company but there are so many other opportunities now. There are lots of athletes that start their own business after retiring and some disconnect from their sport entirely.

There are even those who “semi-retire” but miss it so much, they return a year or so later. For us who aren’t athletes, we need to consider many things. Finances, travel, family, hobbies, or anything suitable to your life. I for one still hope to be able to do my activities that fill me with such joy. I love them now so when I’m older, they’ll still be there for me (hopefully!) Start brainstorming if you don’t have some sort of plan B in place for yourself.

I’m not suggesting anything too dangerous or unsafe here! Just maybe try something new and different but start small. Do those things that you never had time for in your life prior to retirement. Like Warrior said:“Learn everything.” You might just surprise yourself with what you can do and learn. Don’t become too advanced in years that you are unable to enjoy your Plan B.

No need to dwell too much but make it a little thought in your mind once in a while. I personally will never be that couch potato who watches the News and Weather Channel! If that’s you, no offense but it’ll never be me. Retirement shouldn’t be too sedentary. Sure, we deserve it after years and years at the job but the body and mind still need activity. You are the one who can use both but only if you want.

Write down some plan B ideas but truly make them matter. After all, they are yours to fulfill. Retirement does indeed look different for each of us but always believe in the Plan B of your life. It will make a difference in a uniquely ultimate way!

P.S. I recently found out the animated Disney movie “Sleeping Beauty” is also turning 60 this year just like Warrior would’ve been. I had a music box in a photo with the post “Creative Collections.” It’s my favorite Princess movie. Warrior actually said at the beginning of a video: “Wake up Sleeping Beauty!” ~~ Wake up to the Plan B of your life!! 😴👑🌙

P.P.S. Here is my YouTube video titled: “Always Be Multi-Passionate.”
