If you were young like me in your teens and if you are struggling now in debt or scrounging every bit of dollar you can to put you gas you are buying on credit, well this blog is for you because this is a time to be more conservative with your spending and not spend a lot with inflation.

The WCW World Heavyweight Title and It's Legacy

The Birth of The Big Gold Belt   When the NWA first closed down or was being bought out by Ted Turner in 1988. The 10 pounds of gold of the NWA has shifted until up to recently where it made it reemergence with the NWA-TNA which is now Impact Wrestling and later the National Wrestling Alliance again in 2019. I know the story is confusing with the NWA belt, but this is the story of The Big Gold Belt which was the WCW Heavyweight Championship Belt. Also, better known as the Ric Flair Belt. He started with the belt in 1986. In the late 80's early 90's, Ric Flair battled with Sting and others and was the major champion of that belt which made it famous, but then Ric Flair left with the belt to the then WWF, now WWE proclaiming himself the "Real World's Champion." The New World Order Belt When The Big Gold Belt was known as the Ric Flair belt. It was also known as the nWo Belt with Hollywood Hulk Hogan . When Hogan turned heel, a wrestling term for bad guy, he won the

He was the President of the countries worst battle on American soil to this date and ironically he was the last casualty.  Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin and into poverty in Kentucky in February 12, 1809.

Will 1980 Happen Again for the US Olympic Hockey Team?

In 1980 USA Pulled an Upset Over Russia Can The US Do It Again? It was 42 years ago in 1980 with Jim Craig as Goalie saving puck after puck and Mike Eruzione leading the team in victory to the gold in the Lake Placid, NY Olympics. With a feat so great conquering their enemies on ice of the Soviet Union. It had Al Michaels say, "Do you believe in Miracles?"  Well Do you believe in Miracles again? Flashback 42 years later there is still tension between Russia and the US over the Ukraine . Russia being the big bullies ready to attack. Just as in 1980 in the Soviet Union had a battle with the US over Afghanistan . We today are in similar situations and the tensions are at an all time high. And with the Olympics games we channel those emotions on the ice in the cold of winter in Beijing, China.  We were never the favorites in ice hockey, as we weren't the favorites in 1776 at war. However, when it comes to battles and wars we overcome as underdogs and we surprise the world a

Should I Go For My Mom's Coffee or my Grandma's Coffee?

My Mom's Pride and Coffee Maxwell House There is a debate in the house when it comes to coffee. My mom Maxwell House  Coffee with her coffee maker . My mom likes to have her style of coffee that she has been having for years. I don't put down her coffee, but I am not crazy about the taste of it. She is more a fan of hot coffee and I am not a fan of Hot Coffee. I like Iced Coffee better. I am not going to knock on my mom's coffee for her because that is her brand she likes. She likes the coffee as everyone in the table does. Me on the other hand, I like a lot of coffee brands besides Maxwell House. One of my favorite blends is Eight O'Clock Coffee.  Mom Don't Get Mad at Me LOL I like Eight O'Clock Coffee Better For starters, I like Eight O'Clock Coffee the Medium Blend. This was the blend of my Grandma. My Mom's Mom. She preferred that coffee and for some reason I have a liking to the coffee. I also like using the Keurig Machine.  Everybody prefers their

The Role of Sting in the nWo Era in WCW

Vibrant Sting Became Darker Sting was the Icon in WCW. He was colorful and vibrant Sting and then the nWo came and his colors started to turn dark. As WCW began to grow darker, Sting matched and faced the darkness of the evil of the nWo. Even though this storybook seemed to great. It was flawed none the less. It was dealt with booking problems of WCW. However, if it was now a days, there booking would do well with this modern day era and with that period times were changing and WCW weren't prepared for the change that was to come and that was it's battle with Time Warner and Aol.  As I mentioned Sting was vibrant and was the fighter who took it to the nWo. He stood silent in the sky the uppermost part of the sky and watched. As Sting said, "There is only one thing, nothing is for sure." He saw the decay of WCW. He saw Hogan and his thugs reign supreme and all Sting could do is watch. Hogan and Sting played head games with each other every Monday Night during the
