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!!! *** 🩷💚🧡📗

Rockin’ the Game💙💪🏻

Month number two 2️⃣ of 2025 is here. February is the shortest month but how about the date today of 2/5/25. Love that repetitive number, so cool. I hope it’s a great day for all you warriors out there. How are your goals going so far with this new year of beginnings? I’m trying new vitamins and finally did a celery detox. It’s really not that bad for all you who aren’t into one of the best vegetables for us. I’m not getting preachy but sometimes we need to just try something new and for me, it was a celery smoothie. Maybe I don’t need a list after all as I just go for what I want to try and see what happens. Keep going yourselves warriors and do the work!

That guy down below did the work as you fans know. Let’s get into that pic of a young Jim Hellwig when he was known as “ Rock” with “ The Blade Runners.” I had no idea how hairy he was! 😬 This photo I shared with my brother as we often play a guessing game of WWF(E) Superstars. Both of us see them on various media sites so this was the second one I sent to him of Warrior. The first one was of Jim as a teen that I saw from his biography a few years back. I stumped him with a teen photo and a Blade Runner one, win win for me! I will say he has stumped me more times though. So, I felt compelled to use that unrecognizable (to my brother) photo of “Rock” today.

Gearing up for the present, Triple H was just announced as the 1st inductee into the 2025 HOF class. The Ultimate Warrior was ALSO announced as the first inductee of the 2014 class 11 years ago. Triple H deserves this honor and I’m so happy for him. Some may not be fans of his and I did not follow his career much but nowadays, I know more. UW fans will remember how he was in that ring as part of WMXII being a young Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Triple H was also instrumental in bringing Warrior back to the WWE, as his career deserves to be recognized for all that it was. I’m very excited to hear his speech. Bring on “ The Game!” It’ll be an emotional one for sure.

Did any of you watch the Royal Rumble? I did not but just wanted to know results, surprises, or my interest in John Cena~~~ who is considered to be “The GOAT.” I did a post on that years ago if you readers can recall. Just look for a pic of an actual goat! 🐐 I thought that would be funny to use so glad I did. 35 years ago this past January brought Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior face-to-face for several seconds during 1990’s Royal Rumble. That was leading up to WMVI with its * BIG* anniversary coming in April, stay tuned! I am happy WWE still has these original PLE’s (formally PPV’s) that are part of their history. The big 4 will remain hopefully as they of course, added a few others over time.

Did you notice how I combined Warrior and Triple H for the title today? Sometimes, I just start writing without working on a subject too much and it just flows into one. “Rockin’ the Game” came to me so that was it. I can ask you all a question here as it does relate. How do you interpret that title above? You can rock your game in many ways by just kicking a** in whatever you do. That’s what Warrior did, would say, and I know Triple H is the same. I thank God he survived his heart surgeries of a few years ago as WWE needed him around, we all still do. He has made so many more positive changes as head of creative, I hope it continues.

Even though I do not watch their content, I decided to watch the most recent “ Saturday Night’s Main Event” a few weeks prior. I saw the entire show which I couldn’t do last time. I probably won’t again and despite talent of today, nostalgia will be there for me in many ways. UW is in the opening sequence too, and I will always love the entrance theme music. I hope it sticks around. 😁🎼

Look for a link at the end today of my write up on the 25th anniversary of WMXII back in 2021. It’s all about the trust developed between Warrior and Triple H overtime and how they formed a friendship. I reread it (obviously) so I only thought it fitting to include again. If you’ve already read it, I believe it’s worth another read! Just ignore the website info as previously stated since that no longer exists. Plus, ignore the vacation statement too. That was shortly after my ulcer…

Getting back to rockin’ the game here, warriors. Can you honestly say that about anything in your life? I can but then will never be an expert. It’s OK to feel good about our stuff as you know and all of you can relate to your strengths. Those weaknesses can improve too if you truly try. Just don’t push yourself to exhaustion because even though Warrior did in many aspects, most of us aren’t former bodybuilders or pro wrestlers. Do what you can, when you can, and feel proud of it all. You can still rock your game without going to extremes and that means in other ways too, not just the physical. There will always be someone who seems to be doing it better but don’t let that clothesline you down! Get up and stay in the match however it works for you. Whatever your “game” is, play it strong, bold, and brave like warriors do. Maybe Triple H was called “The Game” for many reasons besides wrestling. He had other names, but I like that one for him.

Rock your game, warriors . Become inducted in your own Hall of Fame as your own recipient. The only winner in any Royal Rumble needs to be the one who rocked it all to win it all. Always believe that winner is YOU…

P.S. Here is the link to the 25th anniversary of WMXII with my thoughts on Warrior and Triple H’s friendship…

Steady as I Go… 💙😬😜

Here we are in these last few days remaining for March. Oh, boy. Time is going as it will. I will remain steady… I have to address the photo below as yet another first came my way. After all these years, me- yes- me-decided to use a promo where U.W. is talking about U.T.— Undertaker that is. The *** ONLY*** photo I ever used mentioning him was a mask from the Halloween store many moons ago now. Yes, I am over the “drama” of 33 years past but you still won’t see me using U. T. references that often. I had just thought to look up some and found one to use. I could’ve waited yet again to place that pic in mid-April, but nah~ not wanting that memory to resurface, ha ha!

Speaking of moons, did you hear about the lunar eclipse that happened the other night? 🌕 Maybe that doesn’t connect for you but these cosmic events are occurring lately and some are super rare. The solar one is also upon us as many may know THAT date but we are still in March. *** >>>>> The other night we went to a birthday celebration for my future sister-in-law, who turned 50. I have a sister who will also be that age in June. Big milestones with OTHERS to come in my family. A few are very soon. My son will turn 2️⃣0️⃣ tomorrow. 🥹 For 20 years, I have been a mom. What a wonderful gift and one I treasure daily. 🥳He is getting some “housewares” to take into the new apartment come fall. Again, I need to remain steady (or stable) and not become “unstable.” Had to sneak that word in because it fit for sure. Wasn’t he just 10? Wait, nope~~~ Kathy don’t go there. It’s still March…

The last event is this coming Sunday. It will be Easter here but also the 28th anniversary of WMXII~1️⃣2️⃣. It was Ultimate Warrior’s last “official” one as a wrestler. We also have the 34th of WMVI~ 6️⃣ the following day. Remember, it’s* NOT* April Fools day for us Warrior fans! I’m doing it again, so sorry. It’s March~ yes~ it still is. After a few more days, I will finally have all these WM dates covered plus we all will know the results of Mania 40. Until then, I wish all who celebrate Easter a beautiful time with those you love. 🤍🐰🐣There, I think I covered all the events in my notes. Yep, just checked.

So, whew~~~ that is a lot of info but I’m only scratching the surface as much more is to come. Steady, steady, steady as I go. Oh, I did forget something else this month. Our high school girls 🏀 basketball team won its *FIRST*** ever State championship!!! That can go in the same category as the U. T. pic below with a first, he-he! It was so exciting for our little town! 😀👏🏻👍

What have been or are the times and moments where you need to remain steady warriors? There can be so many over our lifetime, we seem to lose track. Things can be going along smoothly and then we get clotheslined to the mat. We’ve all been there, maybe some more than others. Our lives are so different and yet experiences can be quite similar. It’s how you handle it while remaining steady that matters most as you know. Even all the good or great stuff can become overwhelming if all at once and yet, there they are. That always seems to happen with me. There will be nothing for months and then “10” things ( yes, I know that number…) in a row pop up where I want to shake the ropes! 😳

Another expression besides “go with the flow” 🌊 I hear very often is to “shine your light.” 💡 I know that may sound too spiritual for you non-believers, but it really is true. Some people have sent the sweetest words to me lately despite my crazy times, and the one phrase that is on repeat is to keep shining my light. That makes me feel so hopeful from a very different perspective. I’ve had difficult relationships and some are ongoing. It’s been an “ultimate challenge” to be steady and MAN is it tough! I was told to see it another way, which I am. I need to keep being ME like one of those goals of last week. It’s like a metaphor of something not truly being what it is. Learning to see beyond the surface to what is really going on requires so much effort and yet is needed. Be steady in order to shine your light. That’s what I am continuing to do. I will never dim that light because it’s not who I am. It shouldn’t be who you are either. Warrior certainly never dimmed his light! 🥰🤟🏻

I’ve had those down days but I’m grateful for all the learning- good or bad. That’s another goal, remember? One day, all these times will be over and then new ones take their place. The busy will be replaced by the calm so we need to take it in and breathe through it every day. Our challenges become our greatest strengths because they got us to a steadier place. You know that children’s book of “The Tortoise and the Hare”? I’m sure you do. “Slow and steady wins the race” is the moral but we don’t need to race like U.W. did to the ring. The tortoise didn’t really, he just went at his own pace. Sure, a healthy competition never hurt anyone but we all need to find our own inner 🐢 to finish what we started. By remaining steady with all the distractions~~~ the prize is yours, whatever it may be. Stay steady, shine your light, and focus on ONE task at hand. The rest for now can wait. Time to *** MARCH*** on out warriors… 

A Genuine Trust 💙💙#25

If any of you were here with me last week, remember how I said there would be another milestone? Well, here it is. Those two great men you see in that photo were part of WrestleMania XII which was 25 years ago TODAY. These Wednesdays, I tell ya… more will be coming so I hope you fans stick around! I’m not analyzing their quick squash match back in 1996 but getting to the heart here which was genuine trust. I know it wasn’t there all those years ago but slowly grew along with their relationship. That trust enabled both to work together and get the Ultimate Warrior in the WWE HOF where he belonged.

Many times I thought to write about Warrior and Triple H and then the idea got table turned. Destiny called and I listened. Now, it is time on their anniversary date so how fitting that I waited. I know Triple H has kept Warrior’s Ambassador Agreement personally and I am so grateful he shared it in the book: “A Life Lived Forever.” Also, so very ultimately grateful he worked tirelessly along with Steve Wilton to get the Ultimate Warrior’s legacy preserved in the WWE Universe.

I’ve mentioned before how I also had and sometimes continue to have trust issues. Many of us do but all for different reasons. Warrior was hurt and betrayed many times in his life so trust was very difficult for him. With his estrangement from Vince and company, it made sense. To us fans, Triple H was our hero! To Warrior, he was Paul forging a genuine trust that would indeed become ultimate.

With many relationships of mine that I truly desired, I was Triple H. (aka Paul) Sometimes, it would work well but then other times, the person opposite wouldn’t connect at all. Have you been on either side? I know better now and realize some relationships aren’t meant to be or even are irreparable. Those men worked at it and eventually got to the place they both wanted and needed. It doesn’t always happen that way for many of us. I’ve had to end relationships that pained me to do so. Often times I’d wonder if the other person was as upset as I was. This of course can be with family, friends, co-workers, or romantic partners.

I tried racking my brain to think of a time when someone truly kept fighting for me when I didn’t fight back. Ya know- when I’d be like Warrior was with Triple H and not returning the calls, emails, texts, or any communication. I honestly couldn’t even think of one time, not one. Yes, my husband would do this always ( fight for me) and maybe birth family could be obligatory for some but outside of those, nobody. I’m not saying this out of pity but just for the mere fact that we all have those more dominant traits or strengths. I can be stubborn too but usually am more of the fighter for people than they are for me. Times have changed of course and I do know a few that would have my back now.

Warrior did not want any relationship with WWE whatsoever but deep down, he was too hurt to admit that his career should be acknowledged. They just had to tell the right story and lots needed to happen getting that done.

Have you ever fought hard for someone that forged a genuine trust? It’s such a hard word as we put ourselves out there every single time. We need that middle once again of not trusting everyone and not trusting anyone. Relationships are a tug of war as both need to give and take on that rope which ties us into the ring of life. Once trust is started, it needs to keep going until it strengthens. Warrior was great at pushing his body to keep going but needed to push his emotions to keep going too.

I could’ve used a photo from their “controversial” WMXII match but always loved this one of just two friends hanging out. I hope you agree. I didn’t use it to be sad because we can’t dwell there. That’s affected me enough and in more ways than I will ever share. A genuine trust was finally made many years later as both men become allies. Can you say that about another? That’s tough to think about if you’ve never been in a situation similar. The other part of this equation is of course forgiveness. Warrior was able to do that during WMXXX weekend with many as it should be. I for one KNEW his HOF speech would not be bashing or criticizing extremely at all. Yes, his family was there but guess I just thought differently. Hopefully, 18 years would do that for any of us.

If you have genuine trust that became strong after both agreed to forgiveness, I am proud of you. Those men got to a good place together and I am extremely humbled all the time with that memory. HAPPY 25th WMXII ( other matches too!) Let’s be better by always building that genuine trust with others thru forgiveness. We are all worth fighting for. Your heart will tell you so. Keep the good ones like Warrior and Triple H did. 👍👏🏻

P.S. I happened to find some videos from “Dayz with Jordan the Lion” who does travel vlogs. He was always a fan of Warrior’s and shares footage of where the gym was in AZ. He gets to go inside as it is now a bagel shop. No spoilers but some items are preserved!

*** He also visits the hotel area where Warrior passed. Emotional for sure. 💔 *** Another video is him traveling to CA where the old Gold’s Gym was located. Sting co-owned it and that was where he and Warrior worked out. It’s now a huge auto parts store.

Here is the link to Warrior’s old gym: https://youtu.be/2GA6xgRnS80 *** 19:33 in length.

P.P.S. We are going on a little vacation over Spring Break here but stay tuned for more milestones when I return!
