15
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:03.000
say, the godfather of extreme wrestling, the godfather of uh, let me

16
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:08.680
bust my head open while I'm in
the ring, Terry Funk Terrence as he

17
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:14.599
was born, also known by the
name Chainsaw Charlie. Yes, brief sent

18
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.760
in the WWF days there Chainsaw Cactus
Jack. I'm gotta we gotta find out

19
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.599
what names were turned down? What
names? He just said, all right,

20
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.439
that's retarded the cactus. Sorry.
The Chainsaw Charlie character was basically Terry

21
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.519
Funk with a pantyhoe over his head
like he was like he was a guy

22
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.439
trying to rob a bank kind of
a then basically yeah, and they had

23
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.640
put some form of Freddy Krueger slasher
flick character. Yeah, and he came

24
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.120
down with a chainsaw, would it
would well, it wouldn't be if he

25
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.359
came down with a billy club,
it wouldn't work. I don't know why

26
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.519
they didn't go with Terry Funk.
Everybody knew it was Terry Funk. They

27
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.760
would refer to him as Terry Funk. It was his alter ego Wow storyline

28
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.400
mode, but it was soon dumped
after a while. There, Wow Charlie

29
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.200
is He'll tell you. In preparation, last night I watched some ww WE

30
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.000
raw Sorry to hear that. M
M, well, so was that did

31
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.240
you see my did you see my
twin brother Shamus? I did? I

32
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.560
did I was, really I was. I was rooting for him. It

33
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.759
was root for him. I saw
the announcement that at Night of Champions it's

34
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.960
going to be a six pack match. Oh boy, Yeah? Is that

35
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:22.520
gonna feature? Will that be guest
hosted by the situation? Probably based on

36
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.719
the amount of twittering he did today. Probably if they pay him enough.

37
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.080
As I know they can't afford j
out to host, It's so probably not.

38
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.120
Probably not. I did see.
I do have a question for you

39
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.159
before we get Terry Funk on the
on the horn here, Jeff Peck,

40
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:43.840
What is a miss? Miss?
Miss? A wrestler? Is a miss?

41
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.240
Miss? Is a wrestler? He
was actually started out in Real World

42
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.759
New York. When they went back
to New York twenty years later or whatever

43
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.840
it was, and I went through
the Tough Enough Show. If you guys

44
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.159
remember that the Real Boy Program,
became a wrestler. Uh. Miss is

45
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.360
basically the first three letters of Mike
Mzannen's last name, which is his room

46
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:06.400
name. He goes by the miss. The miss. Ah, I see,

47
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:07.680
do you feel better now? Caused? Do you feel a little?

48
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:12.680
I can't say any of that helped. No, No, I can't say

49
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.520
that. No, now, how
many Tough Enough did they have? They

50
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.960
had two on MTV and then they
did one that was like part of SmackDown

51
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.639
for a while that never really did
well. I actually liked the Tough Enough

52
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.639
shows. I thought they showed a
little bit more of an inner insight to

53
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:29.719
the wrestling rings. And now they
have not only a women's champion, but

54
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.919
a diva's champion. There's two ladies. Because there's two brands. You have

55
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:37.960
two you have two world heavyweight champions
as well, because you have the w

56
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:40.360
WB champion and a World Heavyweight champs
correct, and then on the other side,

57
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.800
and they want to make sure that
they keep those separate on each one

58
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.639
of the two brands that they have. For no good, God damn,

59
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:52.000
there at one time they had three
brands I know, yeah, probably even

60
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:57.039
four. Well yeah, you look
at it, because wasn't there the ec

61
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.360
W one as well, Because they
keep kind of going back and forth on

62
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.599
actually whether or not they want ECW, right, they haven't figured that part

63
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:08.400
of it out. I guess they
had it because then well, I mean,

64
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.039
they had the WWE, and they
had the SmackDown, and they had

65
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.759
WCW and they had ECW. Gotcha, they had one, right, So

66
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.279
they had all of those and then
found a way to combine them and then

67
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.079
split them up again. And now
they're doing a show called NXT, which

68
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:25.879
is for like younger wrestlers that are
toddlers. Yep, they're toddlers. That's

69
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.439
awesome. Look up, schoolers beat
it in backyard. That's awesome. Se

70
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.480
fifth graders just beating the Jesus out
of each other with a baseball bat.

71
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.279
All right, are we ready to
give Terry Funk a call? Sir?

72
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.319
I believe now, didn't he his
brother? He and his brother were one

73
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.600
of the better tag teams. Tory
Funk Junior, him, the Funk Brothers,

74
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.680
the Funk Brothers all favors. There
we go, the One and Only

75
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:56.439
Terry Funk. Terry, how are
you, sir? I'm doing okay.

76
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.920
I'm not sure I'm the one and
only anymore. I'm the one in lonely

77
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:06.560
l O M E L W.
Well, we were just talking about we

78
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:11.639
were just rolling through memories of Terry
Funk, and I was I was remembering

79
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.000
you and the brother. First of
all, I always remember the Funk Brothers

80
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.639
as being for me, one of
the first tag teams I can remember back

81
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.879
in the day of just being the
dominant coming to the ring, like We're

82
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:26.000
just going to beat your ass.
And that was that was the coolest thing

83
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.319
at the time. Rather than have
I don't know, go to some horrible

84
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.800
gimmicky the Killer Bees or the Rougeaux
Brothers or any of that kind of crap.

85
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.439
There was just the Funk Brothers.
They came in and they were gonna

86
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:40.160
beat your ass. Silly, done
and done, you know. It was

87
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.680
it was a wonderful time and a
wonderful period in wrestling. And that it

88
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.759
was amazing because there was so many
regions in the country, you know,

89
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.519
and it was so easy to play
region against region, you know. And

90
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.040
there was the Yankees up there and
they would come to Texas, you know,

91
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.759
and the Texans would go to New
York and you know, it would

92
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.079
just worked out wonderful. You And
that was a wonderful time period in the

93
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:10.759
world wrestling. It was thirty what
thirty six different organization, wow, thirty

94
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.920
six different groups and wrestlers around the
country. And it was a heck of

95
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.120
a lot of fun. Now,
Terry, Terry, how I loved I

96
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.040
loved it fan and uh and I'm
sure the guys love it. Now and

97
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:28.399
I think that they it's uh a
bit different than it was before. And

98
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.720
uh and it should be different.
It's what the fans wanted to be.

99
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.160
Looking back now, I believe what
are you? Are you sixty six?

100
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:38.480
Now? Is am I doing a
math correct on this? No? I'm

101
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.800
one hundred and five one hundred and
five. You know I knew it was

102
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.000
somewhere in that forty year range.
Yeah, you you were, you were

103
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.560
close. I was close. I
mean I was on I get as old

104
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.879
as you peel, aren't you?
I didn't my calculators and five is that?

105
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:55.360
Is that like an insight? My
one hundred and five is like I've

106
00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:00.279
had my body peep to hell,
so new all it goes you there's in

107
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.360
the ring. I got one hundred
and five year old body. There you

108
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.240
go. Numerically you're at sixty six, but your body if we did a

109
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.199
bone marrow test, it would definitely
be dust, is what you're trying to

110
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:13.160
say. Oh it would be scary. Uh. Now, looking back,

111
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.360
would you would you have said,
when you're one of the first couple of

112
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.160
times that you walked into the ring
and you were wrestling, or the Funk

113
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.519
Brothers getting there, would you say
that, looking forward to age sixty six,

114
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.319
that you would still be wrestling or
is this something that you thought for

115
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.600
sure you would have been done with
a few years ago. Well, you

116
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.480
know, as I'm not really wrestling
at sixty six, I think I am

117
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:39.560
nobody else. But no, no, I really haven't wrestled in about a

118
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.959
year now, you know. And
uh, I don't think that I would

119
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.480
go back in the ring again.
You know, I think I've got enough

120
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.360
sense. You know. The last
time, oh, I went over to

121
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:53.800
Japan and had a great time over
there and was in a six man tag

122
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:59.040
and it was in December or something
like That's that was the last time I'm

123
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.319
going over there. I think the
last time over here was whenever I was

124
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.560
in New York and I went up
to New York for a show and it

125
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:13.720
was ECWS show and I can't remember
when it was, you know, And

126
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:20.160
I think it was me and h
somebody against Edge and somebody Edge and Foley

127
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.560
and and myself and Tommy Dreamer.
There you go, look at that Edge

128
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.839
and Folly. But what was wonderful
about it, though, was uh I

129
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.200
was sixty five at a time and
it was still the best match on the

130
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.600
card. That night. Nice.
That wasn't bad. That's gotta be a

131
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.960
good feeling. I mean, you
walk away from you walk away, So

132
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.960
I have some good guys in a
ring are contributed. Sure, Sure,

133
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.639
that makes it a little bit easier
to have some of those guys around you

134
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.919
too, to lift you up on
that left. Absolutely, do you do

135
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.840
you still have as much passion for
the entertainment of wrestling now as you did

136
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:03.039
when you first got into the biz. I've got a minute passion for for

137
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.960
wrestling as a whole, I really
do, you know, and and and

138
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.240
certain parts of it. I don't
have compassion for, you know. I

139
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:16.919
mean, uh, let me explain
myself a bit as uh, I'm not

140
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.399
in I don't have a great deal
of passion. And this is not meant

141
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:26.519
bad or anything, but I think
that, uh, wrestling should always be

142
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.600
an extension A wrestler should always be
an extension of his own personality. Okay,

143
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:39.360
And I think that uh, actors
aren't wrestlers wrestlers, and wrestlers aren't

144
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:46.120
actors. Wrestlers are wrestlers. And
uh, I'm not really fond of of

145
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:52.840
of as much control as they put
on their their product as they do in

146
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.000
New york Uh. I think the
individuals should be given a bit more control

147
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.440
and be able to be themselves a
bit more instead of portraying the characters they

148
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.759
do. I think RLHS accomplishes that. Agreed. Agreed. I feel like

149
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.679
there's i the different Ring of Honor
events that I have been to. It

150
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:18.799
doesn't feel forced, it doesn't feel
here's this incredible gimmick we're gonna throw out

151
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.559
with this guy dressed in a gold
lamay one piece suit and has gold face

152
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.879
paint on and is slightly gay acting, and we're just gonna run him out

153
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.600
there because we think for some reason
the part of the audience missing this and

154
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.240
they need this. It just feels
like and he's gonna say this and this

155
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.519
and this, Yes, but what
would you know? It really takes the

156
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:46.240
identity away from you know, it
takes what I've known through the years as

157
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.519
a wrestler. It takes a bit
of that identity away from you know.

158
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:52.600
Yeah, and cause, but you
know that you've got guys too. You

159
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.679
know, you've got your edges,
and you've got your you know, you've

160
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.440
got your undertakers, and you've got
guys who can can perform so well you

161
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.799
know, uh, and do and
you've got your guys got you've got your

162
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.240
guys in Roah. I think it's
a little uh, you know, I

163
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:16.639
like it. It's where it's not
so U predicted as far as the company

164
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.360
is concerned either, right, right, that's so predictable, you know.

165
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.200
I mean the matches aren't nothing is
you know, I mean go to Roah.

166
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.799
It's the guy on a second match
is trying to bust his ass and

167
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:31.200
have a better match than the last
match. Yes, you know, and

168
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:37.039
that's true. And U and when
you when you watch that that card and

169
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.240
you're there for the entire show.
First of all, you're getting it entire

170
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.279
you're getting like really three shows in
one show. When you're there, you

171
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.480
get an incredible performance out of everybody
that's there. They're there, they're busting

172
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.799
their ass. But but the thing
that I like best, I think this

173
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.840
goes to what you're saying, Terry. Is it you it's believable. You

174
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:54.919
believe in the people that are walking
from the ring and into the ring.

175
00:11:54.960 --> 00:12:00.879
It's not some over the top conceptualized
sat down for the last six months and

176
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.879
said, well, we've got to
have somebody fill this character's void. Let's

177
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:05.679
just throw it in there and see
if it sticks for this guy, even

178
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.000
though it may be nothing like him
whatsoever. I'm in a hundred percent agreement

179
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:18.039
with you. Gotchau So to the
Sorry power Terry, to that point in

180
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:24.639
today's wrestling. You've been involved for
so long, do you think ultimately Vince

181
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:33.039
McMahon and that brand is right for
wrestling? In the costumes, the characters,

182
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.759
the writing, is that ultimately good
for wrestling? You know? I

183
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.200
really don't know, you know,
I mean it can it be? Is

184
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.600
it the best? I think it's
good for what they are producing. I

185
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.720
think they put producer good show,
I really do. I mean, you

186
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:52.399
watch the thing and it's got it's
got a pizzazz and a class to it,

187
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.360
you know. But I mean then
you look over at the other side.

188
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.480
You know, it's the other extreme
and what is the other string,

189
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.840
you know, the other stream as
the UFCD n EM. Yeah, you

190
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.039
know I mean that. Uh,
And you watch these guys and uh and

191
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.600
then you look at Roh and I
truly believe our ohs are somewhere in between.

192
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.279
I couldn't agree more. And uh, And I think it's a I

193
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.279
think it's a wonderful tweener that everybody
should take a look at. And I

194
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.919
think that uh another thing that is
that is very smart, which I predicted

195
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:28.759
a long time ago. But uh, I don't know if you've watched newspapers

196
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.879
in a way they have gone.
But newspapers are in a great deal of

197
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:39.759
trouble right now. Yeah, And
the reason why is because they've become obsolete.

198
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.279
And what has made them obsolete is
what internet, right, you know?

199
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.360
And I think that again as I'm
sounding like some kind of a pool

200
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:56.279
up here trying to you know,
give talk like our h has all of

201
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.759
his ass and everything, but they've
got I'm telling you that they've got good

202
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.159
things going for them. And I
think that whenever you can go ahead and

203
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.679
put them on that Internet and go
ahead and get a pay per view out

204
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.000
of Internet, I think if that's
smart. I think it's original. I

205
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:15.399
think it's something that's uh has a
new life to it, you know,

206
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.720
I truly do, you know,
And I think that uh, and I

207
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:24.799
think that they are something special for
going out there and uh traveling that road

208
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.399
in that avenue. It's something fresh, it's something different, it's something new.

209
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:35.120
And I think they've got a great
group. I mean, I don't

210
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.120
think it uh by by any means, Can anybody go ahead and say,

211
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.240
hey, these guys aren't going to
make it, or hey, these guys

212
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:48.399
are Hey, these guys are only
going to go this far. They can't

213
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.399
get any bigger than that. I
mean, there is uh give it.

214
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.960
Let's let's let's look back at five
years from now, you know, and

215
00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:01.120
hopefully as we uh we see these
guys and and given us uh and in

216
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.519
a tweener terry you were terry,
you were very interesting. Tween area is

217
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.240
a tween area between the two extremes. One extreme is uh is a ww

218
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.559
E and the other extreme is ufcn
n M A terry. You were very

219
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.279
instrumental in the beginning there of ECW
in the mid nineties. Do you see

220
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.240
any comparisons from ECW to roh what
sure I do? Sure, I do

221
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:30.720
absolutely, you know? And uh
uh what happened to ECW though, is

222
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:37.960
uh you know they forgot what what
was meant by the word extreme just through

223
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:43.519
evolving. But extreme at first was
a bunch of guys out there busting their

224
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:50.480
asses to give you the best match
that they were physically capable of doing.

225
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.799
And it wasn't done with with garbage
cans and pails and other stuff. And

226
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:00.200
uh, but you know, I
mean uh, and I don't mean unfortun

227
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.200
and maybe they needed it or whatever. I mean, but they went the

228
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:08.639
other route towards you end. And
I think that that was the wrong road

229
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.840
to travel, you know. I
mean, we all have to have our

230
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.919
extreme matches. You know that too, but you have to build it on

231
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:22.399
a foundation. And that up there
was built on a foundation of guys busting

232
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.759
their asses in the rings. But
it's just like wrestling this today. You

233
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:33.039
keep on going with the stipulations,
you know, I mean, all right,

234
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.639
let's have this stipulation. All right, we're pretty soon you're drawing out

235
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.919
of stipulations and you're not drawing with
your right Well, and I know for

236
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:45.000
you personally, you had been in
I don't know how many, but I

237
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.480
know of at least two or three
that I can kund of one hand retirement

238
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.320
matches that you were personally involved.
And it seems to me, oh absolutely,

239
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:55.200
I'm going to have as many more
as I can't. It seems to

240
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.440
me that's been the big one of
the big draws. Let's have a retirement

241
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.679
matchine called the end of the career. Here. But it never It's like

242
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.400
kiss going on another reunion tour.
It happens every single year. I know.

243
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.160
I often thought about going in the
ring and turning heel by going ahead

244
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.880
and go and say, all right, I'm tiring, you know this,

245
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.640
This's gonna be my last match,
and I'm passionate a hat uh huh.

246
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.599
Anybody that's got a buck out there, put it in there for me,

247
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:21.880
because I'm not gonna be back,
you know, throw pass a hat around

248
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.480
to say, jeez, you know, thirty seven dollars forty three shins?

249
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:30.279
What the hell are you people?
Matched? I can't live on that.

250
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.720
That won't even get me home tonight. I won't even retire. I won't

251
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:38.480
even that won't even buy me to
the chicks pack of beer anymore. At

252
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:42.839
the bar we are, we're talking
with the legendary Funk. He will be

253
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:48.160
signing autographs at the Ring of Honor
Glory by Honor nine at the Manhattan Center.

254
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.200
Band there and looking forward you know, as uh it's been a long

255
00:17:52.359 --> 00:18:00.279
times. I was on a Rlah
show and uh I am looking so word

256
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.920
to it, you know. But
I but I I I hear about their

257
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.400
boys all the time, you know, and uh, they've got some great

258
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:15.039
talent and uh continually you see him
robbing that talent, yes, yeah,

259
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.279
and then going to bigger you know. Uh and I shouldn't I shouldn't say

260
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.559
bigger places. But they buy them
out. Well I would say, well,

261
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.799
well, we can all a grease
bigger salary. That's right. I

262
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.240
think that's great that they buy them
out, you know. I mean,

263
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.720
but uh, uh, they're becoming
the the the life blood of the other

264
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:37.160
of the rest of the industries.
Well, Terry, let me ask you.

265
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.359
Let me ask you this a lie. I mean, they're they're the

266
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:45.440
life blood of wrestling. If you
look at wrestling and you look what's come

267
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.119
out of ROAH and a lot of
the guys, and not all of them,

268
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:55.519
not all of them, but many
of them have been uh formerly ROH

269
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:57.079
stars. Yeah. Let let me
ask you this. If you right now,

270
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:00.000
if if you had the opportunity,
you were in the Ring of Honor

271
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.559
locker room and you knew that the
word was that somebody that's in that Ring

272
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.559
of Honor locker room is going to
be getting an offer from the w w

273
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.799
E and Vince McMahon tomorrow to come
join their organization. What's the bit of

274
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.640
advice that you give to that individual, whether you know it's them individually or

275
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.000
not, you're just talking to the
whole group. What's the bit of advice

276
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.799
that you give to a young wrestler
today working his ass off and ring of

277
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:26.200
honor and here comes the opportunity there's
going to be an opportunity around the corner

278
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.359
for w W. What's the advice
based upon your experience that you hand off

279
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:37.079
to these kids? Son, don't
burn any bridges. What goes around comes

280
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:44.079
around, gotcha, ter we were
talking about, you do it with dignity,

281
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:48.400
you do it with honor, You
do it you if it's better for

282
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.640
you, then I mean, I'm
not trying to you know, you have

283
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.839
to look as a wrestler, what
does uh you know, because you have

284
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:02.880
a limited career and even much more
limited now than whenever I was in it.

285
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.759
Seriously, I mean I'm not gonna
try to, you know. I

286
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.160
mean, I think absolutely we did
more wrestling than what has done today.

287
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:19.559
But the physicalness in the rain is
just it takes its toll on you.

288
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:25.880
In any of the organizations, you
know, and uh, and I know

289
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.799
our oh is uh damn, I
mean they are very physical in anything,

290
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.880
and they have to be. That
is why oh is uh is And I

291
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:37.920
say I would like to be looking
at it in ten years from now because

292
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:44.119
it's a very uh physical form of
wrestling and I think it. I think

293
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:49.440
it's uh very catching well and I
like, I like, just like it's

294
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.519
just like the measles. You know, as long as as long as you're

295
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:56.359
in that locker room given out advice, you're bringing your tights, are you?

296
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.359
You're bringing your tides into the show, right, Terry, No,

297
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:07.400
I'm not. Yeah, Cornett might
want me to bring mine? How would

298
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.200
I would have if I could get
ahold of that? Lee? Allot go

299
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:14.359
ahead and bring who was the guy
Jeff the last one we went to who

300
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:18.400
got his head smashed to the table
that just didn't look right. Eddie Kingston

301
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.680
was in a great match that we
saw and he got his head plowed through

302
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.240
the table that it looked like everybody
was scared after that after the connection hit

303
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.359
and I never did hear what happened
to him if he was okay from the

304
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.039
whole to switch. But you want
to talk about a physical show, Ring

305
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:36.119
of Honors got it front to back. They're gonna be September eleventh Manhattan Center

306
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:38.000
of New York City. Terry Funk
will be there as well. Terry,

307
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:42.759
you were talking aboutfore about ECW.
I'm gonna be rooting for those rooting for

308
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.359
the guys. Yet he's not putting
his head through it to any more tables.

309
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.480
He's done with the table head putting. You know, the only guy

310
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:55.799
that I'd want to go ahead and
beat the hell out. I used to

311
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.000
hate that little pastor. Do you
have any Do you have any good stories

312
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:03.960
about James Cornette? What's that?
Do you have any good stories about working

313
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.640
with Cornette over the years? Do
I have good feelings about him? Did

314
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:15.599
I have? Fine? How could
I have good feelings about Cornette? Tennis

315
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.960
racket him, his gay little tennis. I love him. I think I

316
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.000
think that I think that you know, as again, you know, as

317
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:26.519
you've got to when you've got guys
like Cornette with minds like he's got,

318
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.319
you know, and and and what
you get is you get a little bit

319
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.799
of the Bolshevic, you know.
And that's what I love about him.

320
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.079
He's a bit of a Bolshevic.
You know. Cornett could be anywhere he

321
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.559
wanted to, but he's picked out
a place where he wants to be.

322
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:45.400
He picked out a place where he
feels fit, like he fits in there.

323
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.559
And he also picked a place because
he likes the product they're producing.

324
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:55.440
Yeah, and he could he could
be if he wanted to, He could

325
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:59.839
be any place that he wanted right
now, Jim Cornett and Nette has a

326
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.160
wonderful mind. But again, is
he's a bit of a ball for pick

327
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:06.440
you know? Is he uh?
I should go his own way and do

328
00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:11.640
his own thing, you know what? Sometime is absolutely ubsurd. Terry.

329
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.599
We're discussing before about ECW, and
a lot of fans want to know because

330
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:21.559
recently Tena ran a ECW type of
reunion show booked by one of your protege's,

331
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:25.680
Tommy Dreamer. Was there any contact
by Tommy Dreamer or TNA to you

332
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.079
to come in for that one night
only reunion show a couple of weeks ago.

333
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:32.359
Well, and I think that they, I think that they knew that

334
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.839
I wouldn't gonna go. You know, I made statement before I'm not going

335
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.480
down here, right you know,
And there's no I don't want to go

336
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.559
down here. And if I wanted
to go, I'd call him up and

337
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.200
tell him I wanted to be there. Got you, you know, and

338
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:49.160
I think that they knew that if
they made the you know, I mean

339
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:52.640
and it wouldn't it would be about
they made the gesture detending I wouldn't go,

340
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:59.079
you know, and uh no,
nar would I did? I want

341
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:02.359
to go in a ring attack time? You know? So you know what

342
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:08.119
am I gonna be some it is
sitting around the ring side there are Let's

343
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:15.440
get the spotlight. Let's look at
uh well, Terry. Let's let's let

344
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.799

here and then we'll get ready to see

345
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.039

City, the Manhattan Center for the Ring

346
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.119
of Honor, Glory by Honor.
Okay, so here we go. Let's

347
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:30.000
looking back on your long and illustrious
career. Here, who would you say

348
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:36.079
your your favorite match was against it? Maybe it's a Funk Brothers match or

349
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:40.200
an individual match, your favorite when
you got done that match, and it

350
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:44.440
may even be the most the most
recent and last US match you were involved

351
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.359
in. But where you got done, you said, man, it really

352
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:51.119
it's gonna be tough to beat that. Well, you know, I I

353
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:52.759
you know, and this is why
it is. And I, you know,

354
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.960
I'm gonna just tell you the truth. You know. You can't.

355
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.599
You can't. I cannot put it
in a favorite match. I gotta put

356
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.519
it in matches because there's been so
many different ones, you know, my

357
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.680
favorite match, I mean going in
the ring with luthes and wrestling Luthez,

358
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:12.400
you know, going in the ring
with Jean Kaninsky and wrestling Jean Kaninsky.

359
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:17.079
You know, being in the ring
with my brother, even with the brother

360
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:21.200
versus brother probably one of the few
times it's been done in the business.

361
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.880
It has been done now, but
at one of the few times at the

362
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.359
time that's been done, you know, Going in the ring with Abdula the

363
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:33.200
Mutcher and making uh why would I
like to say, going in the ring

364
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.599
with him because I made a ship
pot full of money with him, use

365
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:40.519
my language, you know, And
that's the truth, you know. And

366
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:44.640
going in the ring with Harley Race
and yeah, but just so many things,

367
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:48.039
you know, And and being in
the ring with guys that like uh,

368
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.160
you know that I can go back
to, you know, with bern

369
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:55.920
Gania, and being in the rings
with guys like Iron, Mike de Biasi,

370
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.680
who is a wonderful mentor and the
father of Teddy. You know,

371
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.839
and and just on and on and
on and on and on, you know,

372
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.160
being in the ring with all of
the Japanese greats. You know,

373
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:12.160
it's just it's it's uh, you
know, to single one thing out and

374
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:15.079
say, well, that was the
best thing that I ever did. Being

375
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:18.680
in the ring with my father.
That was probably the greatest thing that I

376
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.240
ever did, was be in the
ring with my father and be in the

377
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.559
ring with a six and a sixth
man with my brother, myself and my

378
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:33.440
father in the ring, and uh, that was that was a pleasure.

379
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.880
That that was beyond beyond all of
the pleasures. I have to say that

380
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:42.880
I like that. You know,
well it watch what would you who would

381
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:45.640
you say right now? And I'm
sure that the list is probably equally as

382
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.279
long, but I'll ask the question
who right now? Would you never want

383
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:53.039
to have to spend any time with
again that you've met from the wrestling biz,

384
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:56.519
meaning sit down and have lunch,
have a coffee, sit down and

385
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.160
discuss anything, or take a phone
call from somebody that you just said last

386
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:03.480
time you saw them, lasting me, deal with him, forget it.

387
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:11.200
That's done. I'm not going to
deal with him again. Uh not not

388
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:12.759
really. I don't. I don't
think, you know. I mean I

389
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:18.440
would sit down with anybody if they
called me up. Okay, you know,

390
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:21.559
do I have to have people that
I don't care for? You?

391
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:26.279
But would I would? I not
want to sit down with him. I

392
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:29.599
want to sit down with everybody at
this time in my life. You know,

393
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:33.319
if there was a hatchets to be
buried, well, hell, I'd

394
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.640
like to bury him, you know. I mean that's just the way I

395
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.960
feel at this point in my life. You know, who who would you

396
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.240
feel? Right now? There was
there's probably one what was his name?

397
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:51.160
My gosh, I'll think of it
in a minute. He was, Oh,

398
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:53.119
my gosh. He was from the
East Coast and up there, and

399
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:57.240
he was a promoter and he was
going to take over the whole United States.

400
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:02.119
And he was on the air plane
and I was on the airplane and

401
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:04.880
he got off, and I got
off, and I went ahead, and

402
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:10.000
yeah, you ought to make us
a trivia question, and I went ahead,

403
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:11.839
And trust me, right now,
Jeff is racking trying to figure out

404
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:18.359
he had television in our territory.
And I snatched him on the airplane in

405
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:23.279
Atlanta, Georgia. And whenever I
snatched him as I grabbed him by the

406
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:30.079
lapel and I shook him and I
said, don't you ever ever ever put

407
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.799
that TV in our territory again.
You better get it off the air.

408
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.440
And he went ahead and went out
to a place where you had come through.

409
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.480
You know, well, you had
an inspection there. I checked for

410
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:44.839
the medal. And he came through
there and he was a promoter on the

411
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.640
East coast and he was promoting an
organization up there, and he went through

412
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.400
there and he tore his lapels on
the way and he went ahead and he

413
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.359
said that I kicked him in the
testicles. And they were waiting for me

414
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:00.440
whenever I came through there, and
they put me in jail. Wow.

415
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:06.240
So I would like to go ahead, and uh uh, that's the one

416
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:08.119
guy I didn't like. I'm trying
to think of his name, But somebody

417
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.559
out there would be a question,
who was that? Who was it?

418
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:19.000
Yeah, we're Martinez, Pedro Martinez, Martinez, okay, Pedro Martinez.

419
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.640
Yeah. He had me drown in
jail. Wow. And then he went

420
00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:27.200
ahead and sued me for eighteen million
dollars. Oh yeah, I assumed me

421
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:32.400
and I had to go to court
in Atlanta, Georgia. I went better,

422
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:34.599
and he said that I kicked him
in the testicles, and he had

423
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:38.839
a picture of one one side of
his testicles. I don't want to use

424
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:44.319
any first words on everybody. He
had one great, big, huge testicle

425
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.000
in the picture. You know what. They found me guilty. They found

426
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.079
me guilty, and I did nothing
to that, and so I settled for

427
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:59.279
five thousand dollars out of court.
So Pedro Martinez, you better be You

428
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:04.400
know, he's not around anymore and
still but somewhere the picture of his testicle

429
00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:07.720
is the day I might like to
beat the shit ouel. I wish you

430
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.720
the best, I hope here in
heaven, but I would like to beat

431
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.160
him. I just like that.
Terry would also like to say, is

432
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:17.720
he would like to beat the other
testicle and have a shot at it.

433
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:19.480
And actually, if he's paying the
five thousand dollars to give him shot the

434
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:27.559
other that I was supposed to kick
him. Oh, Terry, all right,

435
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.000
let's let me let me see if
if anybody else in the chat room

436
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.880
has any more questions or if we're
just gonna get ready to wrap this thing

437
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:37.400
up here, cause if you've got
anything otherwise, I'm gonna mention where you

438
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.279
can see Terry and get autographs from
Terry Funk. The legend, well about

439
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.200
ten years ago was when Beyond the
Mat came out. Terry, how I

440
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.400
mean maybe over a little bit of
time here or even at the time,

441
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:52.799
how did you How did you like
that movie? And how did you like

442
00:30:53.200 --> 00:31:00.279
how it portrayed you? I thought
it was it was just it wasn't you

443
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:04.440
know, I portrayed me as what
it was me. I mean, it

444
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:08.720
was a documentary. I mean,
he came to my house. He's been

445
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:15.440
a great deal of time with me, and after a while, as I

446
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:21.000
forgot the Cameron was there, I'm
very bloss seen as a wonderful individual in

447
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:25.319
person. I liked him very much, and uh, he just kind of

448
00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:26.799
moved in with us for a while, my wife and I, you know,

449
00:31:27.000 --> 00:31:32.519
and it wasn't like there was even
found him going on, you know.

450
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:37.279
And evidently it was that way with
Jake too. Yeah, yeah,

451
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:42.079
because he's evidently evidently he must have
not thought her a found me going on

452
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:48.599
pretty relaxed, pretty relaxed, relaxing
high But you know, either case,

453
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.480
Yeah, Terry, just want to
get your your final thoughts on one.

454
00:31:52.079 --> 00:32:01.640
Vincec Man, what a what are
your thoughts about the great vincec Man honestly

455
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:14.440
and seriously, yes, is uh
I actually uh, I don't like him.

456
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:21.279
And the reason I don't like him, and I mean that from the

457
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:30.680
bottom of my heart, is that
he won, which which that will forever

458
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:36.839
bother me. Uh. He made
me a great deal of money. He's

459
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.480
made a great deal of the people. Uh, in the world of wrestling

460
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:47.880
money. I you know, I
cannot uh you know, I mean,

461
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:52.359
he's made more million Would I have
made that many millionaires? I'm not sure

462
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:58.839
I would have, you know.
And what I have paid what he paid,

463
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:05.160
I'm not sure I would have.
So uh, you know, as

464
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.440
you've got to remember that I called
back a long time and that's hard to

465
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:14.920
hard, too hard to saber,
right, it's hard to swallow, you

466
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.680
know. And uh, that's just
that's just me. It's the way that

467
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:23.640
I was raised is you're always to
be a winner. And uh maybe,

468
00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:30.160
uh maybe, who knows, you
know, if I don't think it could

469
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:36.079
have been changed. But he won
the ball game, and it's his ball

470
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:40.559
game as far as wrestling as we
know it is concerned. The last question

471
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:45.200
that the last question I've got for
Terry Funk here and that for answering you

472
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:50.240
on that love it. That was
a good answer and honest from the heart.

473
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:53.400
I appreciate that. And uh as
as we're getting ready to wrap up

474
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:57.519
the interview here and you're heading out
for the Ring of Honor Glory by Honor

475
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:00.039

York City on septemb or eleventh, let

476
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.480
me make it. You're gonna be
You're gonna be meeting and you have I

477
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:07.039
presume, over the length of your
career met new generations and new generations and

478
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:10.559
new generations of wrestling fans. Some
of them may have seen your matches on

479
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:15.360
television. Some of them may be
referring to DVDs or old tapes of Funk

480
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:20.519
Brothers or Terry Funk matches. The
question that I've got for you is,

481
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.760
through all of them, what is
the way that you want Terry Funk to

482
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:28.360
be remembered when it's all said and
done. Like, I've got a daughter

483
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:31.320
who's three right now, She's not
watching any wrestling yet, but how how

484
00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:36.320
would you want to be remembered to
even her generation? How do you want

485
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:46.320
everybody to remember Terry Funk well,
honestly and seriously and bottom line as I

490
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:19.119

00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:25.880

492
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:30.280

00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:42.360
like it'll be. I mean,

501
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:02.760
Uh and uh and Jeff Peck and
his friends as well, thank you

502
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:06.480
for all the years of extreme wrestling. If it weren't for you, we

503
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:08.920
wouldn't be watching it. And thank
you so much for that. Well,

504
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:13.039
I don't know, hope, I
don't hope it weren't for me. There

505
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:15.719
was a whole lot of other guys. You've got to dance with. Somebody

506
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:19.480
got you, Terry Funk. Thank
you, sir. We'll look for you

507
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:22.880
at the Ring of Honor event Ring
of Honor, Ring Glory by Honor nine

508
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.239
at the Manhattan Center, New York
City on September eleven. Thanks Terry,

509
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:30.079
we appreciate it. Okay, alrighty, take care. There you go.

510
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:36.320
The legend Terry Funk, it was
great the times. What are the chances

511
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:38.480
he's wrestling and Glory by Honor?
Let me come on now. He was

512
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:43.719
coming hard at Cornett. Yeah,
he wants Cornette pretty bad. I mean,

513
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:45.679
I just don't. Would you be
shocked? No, You're gonna have

514
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:50.000
such a wrestling legend there. I
mean, how could he not do anything

515
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:53.519
in the ring. He can't just
be sitting there signing Honor have to not

516
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:58.119
get called into the ring. I
know doing going to former Row eight shows

517
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:01.400
the past year, them invited that
when they do the autograph events, it's

518
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:05.360
it's well before the show starts,
right, but it's different. It's Terry

519
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:07.239
Funk. He's made a lot of
history in the Manhattan Center of New York

520
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:12.039
City, a lot of resting fans
respect him. They got to put him

521
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:15.239
the ring and have him do at
least something. I mean when I mean

522
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.440
it was ten years ago, the
Beyond the Mat came out and they were

523
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:22.719
I mean the big prominent part of
that is his you know, retirement,

524
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:24.960
another retirement match that he had.
Yeah, and for him to have just

525
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:28.760
said in the interview and it was
like, I think my last match was

526
00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:30.400
last year, and I was like, I almost almost choked on my own

527
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:35.360
tongue. It's like, wait a
minute, that was that was like ten

528
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:38.599
years ago, and I wouldn't exactly
at least fifteen retirement matches. As anybody

529
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:42.960
knows, when they talk about retirement
and wrestling, they refer to Terry Funk,

530
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.360
because Terry Funk, like in The
Beyond the Mat, retired in like

531
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:50.440
ninety seven ninety eight, had that
match with Bret Harte unretired three months later,

532
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:53.960
came back to the WWF his chainsaw
Charlie wrestled in w c W wrestled

533
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:58.119
a little bit of roh and you
heard it from him. This last match

534
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.480
was in oh six, right in
the Hammerstein. Let me ask you this,

535
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.519
does he take a bump? I
mean, does he get I don't.

536
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:07.119
I don't know. If he and
Cornette get into the ring together.

537
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:09.400
I mean Cornette and him in the
ring would be just really cool for old

538
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:14.519
school fish sure, because there's both
such good old school personas right, and

539
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:20.920
you're going to use old and bold
letters. He is just uh, he's

540
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:22.840
just he's gonna do something. He's
gonna it's kind of a slower match,

541
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:25.800
I would imagine, right, Yeah, I don't. I don't think it's

542
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:30.480
I think it's a yelling. It's
somebody. Somebody takes a bump, and

543
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:34.039
I don't know who it is.
I would have to imagine Cornett would take

544
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:36.239
the bump. I tell you what, man, Terry Funk forty, somebody

545
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:37.960
else. What does he now he's
got he's sixty six, sixty two.

546
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:42.280
He wrestled I believe it was sixty
two years old in two thousand and six,

547
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:45.440
and the dude was was hanging in
there with Edge and Tommy Dreamer and

548
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:49.800
Mick Foley he got his eye hurt. They had a bandit to his eye

549
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:52.559
up, and he came back out
in barbed wire, flaming tables. Dude

550
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:57.320
sixty two years old. I'm lucky
at that time. Now he's just gonna

551
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:04.239
other possible, that's possible. Just
hey, if Rick muscle, it'll be

552
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:10.079
a blow. I think Terry finding
and I think Terry fuck knows he probably

553
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:13.559
can't get back in there, but
I'm sure if he's got one more left

554
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:15.360
and he'll do it. Yeah,
I and I think that'll probably all come

555
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:17.679
down to. However, he's like
right now, he's adamant that it's not

556
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:21.480
going to happen. But once he's
there and he meets the fans and he

557
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:24.760
gets sort of that, he's gonnautograph. Terry gotta getting the rink tonight.

558
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:28.360
No, I'm not gonna get in
the rink tonight. But you know they're

559
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:30.920
gonna they're gonna have some sort of
moment. You know they're gonna guess what

560
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:35.679
he is. Tightser in that bag. Yeah, Terry's ready, tighter in

561
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:37.280
the back. Yeah, you got
it. You gotta right, because I

562
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.239
don't know if you'll use them,
but they are they're packed in they're packed

563
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:43.760
in the bag right next to a
few eight by ten. There's a guy

564
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.519
that's been wrestling for five decades.
Yeah, you know, former n W

565
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:51.199
A E c W champion. I'm
got some history. I mean, it's

566
00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:57.639
definitely the thought of five decades and
flaming tables and if you think about that,

567
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:00.039
I mean that that's just from what
we can recall from what he did

568
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:04.559
with wrestling here. But I mean
he wrestled like crazy in Japan. So

569
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:08.039
I mean that guy, bad guy
has played some of the probably the shittiest

570
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:12.679
houses that wrestling has ever been in. Well it's well, probably the biggest

571
00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:15.000
events. Yeah. Well, here's
the thing with Terry Funk. In the

572
00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:19.840
sixties and then the seventies, he
became MWA champion eighties, was still prominent

573
00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:22.599
big in the nineties. I mean, he's in his fifties, right,

574
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.760
He's wrestling through tables, stump tacks
in the Bingo Hall. HECW Arena in

575
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:29.360
Philly, which is well known to
be like one hundred and ten degrees on

576
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:31.280
the marble wire around the ring,
marble wire around the ring. He was

577
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:36.519
going over to Japan and wrestling mcfolio
and matches that included C four. These

578
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:39.159
these guys were exploding themselves up.
And he's in his late forties, early

579
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:45.480
fifties and he still kick its a
mass. I don't he's hardcore. He's

580
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:49.880
hard would say that. That's the
end of the list. He's from the

581
00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:53.480
double X Ranch, double x rands. That's all right, right, Armarillo,

582
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:59.920
Texas double Cross double cross double cross
Ranch. Good times, very funk

583
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:01.719
brothers. Well, listen, we'll
take a quick break when we come back.

584
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:05.880
I know there's some football talk that
we should be discussing. Plus an

585
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:08.360
opportunity for somebody who's listening right now
to join the Wheelhouse, one of the

586
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:13.280
three positions left in the Wheelhouse Fantasy
football League. Here at the Wheelouse,

587
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:17.480
some blog, talk radio and ERFM
live. When sports starts to sound funny,

588
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:21.280
we're there, at least in to
here. I was supposed to be

589
00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:25.079
the frenchise player and were in here
talking about practice. I mean, listen,

590
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:30.079
we're talking about practice, not a
game, not a game, not

591
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:38.840
a game, We're talking about practice
the Wheelhouse. This is clearly nuts.

592
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:45.400
Metro sexual moment moment in history.
The dragon Slayer von Pardu, a man

593
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:49.480
in Montgomery County, Texas, was
attacked by a neighborhood pitfall recently. The

594
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:52.360
dog bit hard into Pardue's hand and
refused to release its clinch. The Pardu

595
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:58.400
didn't complain that the dog had ruined
his manicured fingernails and they're shiny, translucent

596
00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:00.960
nail polished. Why not, because
he didn't have any girly nail polish on.

597
00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:04.920
In fact, he doesn't even know
what the word manicure means. He

598
00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:08.159
thinks it's when a guy gets better. With the snarling beast still digging into

599
00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:12.920
his hand, Pardu didn't pull some
woosey crap and try to reason with the

600
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:15.400
animal. He didn't say, let's
compromise, let's pass a un resolution,

601
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:19.480
let's talk about your problems. Did
you have a rough childhood? Hell no.

602
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:22.360
The Texans dragged the one foot tall, fanged monster a full block and

603
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:25.800
a half to his house, where
he then, according to police, choked

604
00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:31.360
it to death. No real man
like Pardu is gonna let that pitball off

605
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:36.239
with a warning. It's one strike
and you're strangled to death. He's judge,

606
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:39.159
jury and executioner, and more importantly, he's a real man and now

the thoughts and stories and whatnot,
here do we have nice twits ready to

637
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:12.480
go this evening, ready to go. I was able to put it together

638
00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:17.519
despite the fact that Johnny Damon's a
pussy. Thank you for that introduction.

639
00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:23.119
That's I listened to be able to
relate two things that have nothing to do

640
00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:27.800
with each other. We were talking
about it before. I mean, he's

641
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:31.039
just I don't understand the us Why
I don't understand it? The king,

642
00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:35.079
I would say, Kate, you
don't understand my feelings. Don't understand.

643
00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:38.320
You don't understand what he doesn't.
He doesn't understand what Damon's fucking problem is.

644
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:42.119
It's just I said to Bauer,
I said, that means he's a

645
00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:44.000
Yankee. I mean, that's what
it is. He's not a he's not

646
00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:46.320
a Red Sox. He's a Yankee. Rather where he is little Red Sox.

647
00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:49.159
Right, I don't get it.
You have a chance to play in

648
00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:53.199
the playoffs. He also still thinks
that Detroit's in the race, and oh

649
00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:55.639
god, no, I gave that
truck, didn't I not give that up?

650
00:45:55.679 --> 00:45:59.239
At the halfway point of the season, it was already done. Fish

651
00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:02.239
can athmatically, we're still in it, just like everybody else is. See

652
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:06.280
what kind of fire we have going
in the last month. He also wanted

653
00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:08.880
to make sure that he got assurances
from Jim Leland that he was going to

654
00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:13.599
still be in the lineup, so
he felt his zoe. By staying there

655
00:46:13.639 --> 00:46:15.800
in Detroit, he's in much better
shape than going to the Red Sox,

656
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:21.360
who were five games out of the
wild Card. Because how bad did it

657
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:23.679
getting boss was? It really was? It like they wanted to kill Johnny

658
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:27.480
Damon. That's what they're making it
sound like. Here's the thing. No,

659
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:30.400
it's what he's making it sound like. Okay, here's the thing.

660
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:37.519
We're really disappointed that he left to
go to the Yankees. Right deal from

661
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:39.599
the Angels if he went and he
got a huge deal from the Mets,

662
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:44.280
if he went he got a huge
deal from the Cardinals, we wouldn't have

663
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:49.000
given two ships. We would have
applauded him, stood for him when he

664
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:54.679
came back. When you come back
in pinstripes, No, you're not getting

665
00:46:54.719 --> 00:46:59.800
a standing ovation. You're not getting
the oh well, after all of the

666
00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:06.079
wonderful times we had together after that, and then you completely blew us off

667
00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:08.039
to go for a team to give
you more money. That's our heated rival,

668
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:15.079
historically, over one hundred years rival. Why on God's green earth would

669
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:19.559
we applaud you for making that decision? Right, So, yeah, we're

670
00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:24.280
as a part of Red Sox Nation. Hurt. Yes, but hold on,

671
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:27.159
let let me see, let me
see if I can clear this up

672
00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:30.480
rather quickly. But here, with
this offer and the picking him up on

673
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:34.400
waivers, you guys would have been
accepting of him coming back to the team

674
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:37.000
and giving him another shot and said, hey, let's just let's see what

675
00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:38.119
you got, buddy, Let's see
if you can kind of help this team

676
00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:43.239
make it to that World Series yet
again. But it was him being the

677
00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:46.480
ultimate puss about it and saying that
he had on his list the Yankees and

678
00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:50.280
didn't have the Sox. That kind
of makes you go, you know what,

679
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:53.360
buddy, fuck you even more.
The poll that was on the Boston

680
00:47:53.400 --> 00:48:00.639
Globe website had sixty forty for the
Red Sox fans accepting him with open arms.

681
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:02.360
I got a text from another buddy
saying, I can't wait to see

682
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:08.639
Johnny Damon back in Red Docks uniform. I mean, seriously, you go

683
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:14.519
with the team that literally announced to
everybody, nah, we don't want you.

684
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:17.800
Yeah, thanks for the World Series, but good luck to you,

685
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:23.280
but we've got Marcus. You'd rather
have Nick Johnson. Yeah. I hated

686
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:27.800
that they let Damon go see.
But this is my point. He was

687
00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:30.639
afraid that if he went back as
a Red Sock in some way, shape

688
00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:32.360
or formed, that Yankees fans would
be mad at him. Then would you

689
00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:35.480
be mad at it for going back
to the Red Sox right now, Jeff?

690
00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:38.519
Probably, well, especially the Yankees
loss of the Red Sex exactly.

691
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:44.719
Yeah, definitely no, he I
understand that, But totally different circumstances,

692
00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:49.280
you'd say, right, yeah,
definitely not him leaving New York reflecting the

693
00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:53.679
rival to go to Let me make
this a little bit more applicable to Jeff

694
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:57.000
Pack. So, Jeff Pack,
oh, here we go. This should

695
00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:01.840
be good. You uh, couple
of years ago, ended up banging causes

696
00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:06.639
girlfriend. Okay, all right,
she stays with you for a little bit.

697
00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:08.880
You guys are all moved in together. She makes a nice house.

698
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:12.679
She I don't know, it's not
important. You don't care about that part.

699
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:14.880
You finally got vagina. That's the
part you care about. Right,

700
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.639
Let's forget so that you get you're
getting. She's making dinners for you,

701
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:21.599
keeps a clean house for a couple
of years. You finally decide, you

702
00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:22.760
know what, there's more vagina out
there. I don't need her anymore.

703
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:28.519
I'm gonna let her. I put
her on Vagina wavers her Vagina no longer

704
00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:30.840
needed here. You don't listen,
you don't have to go home, you

705
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:32.880
just can't stay here. So and
she has a no trade clause. So

706
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:36.400
and this which, by the way, if Jeff Beck, if you are

707
00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:40.559
not naming your fantasy football team Vagina
wavers, I like that idea. I

708
00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:44.960
know I got a lot of hell
for naming my team. And you know

709
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:46.280
what, you got that hell before
I even started it. I will,

710
00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:52.519
I will do it. So I
started dating your girl, which is causes

711
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:54.599
ex girl. Wow, she and
I start dating for a little bit.

712
00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:59.719
You're I'm very excited about the opportunity. It's totally cool with it. Okay,

713
00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:04.159
I'm very excited about the opportunity.
Kim likes it because Kim can go

714
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:07.199
work and there's somebody here to take
care of the house. So it's great.

715
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:10.079
And then what happens is I decide, listen, it's been real it's

716
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:13.440
been fun, but it hasn't been
real fun. You kind of have to

717
00:50:13.519 --> 00:50:16.039
go and cause says, hey,
baby, I'll bring you back into my

718
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:19.199
life. I got plenty of room
here. Why don't you come back and

719
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:22.119
join us? And she says,
I'm an even bigger house than I have

720
00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:25.199
before, and all of the extra
money that I've made, right and even

721
00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:28.920
then, I don't even have you
on my list of guys I want to

722
00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:30.599
come back to. Now is there
on the front lawn? Hold on,

723
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:35.320
Let's just let's just move forward.
Let's say she does go back with cause,

724
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:38.960
are you jealous that she's going back
to the guy? Nobody? Now?

725
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:40.719
Well, I don't know, You're
probably with some hot model. I

726
00:50:40.760 --> 00:50:44.559
don't. I have no idea.
Or maybe it's a little bit more true

727
00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:45.880
to life. And it's just I
would be upset if Damon went back to

728
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:47.920
Red Sox. You would, I
would be, Yeah, you would?

729
00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:51.960
I think so because I like Damon. You know, it took a while

730
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:53.320
for him to grow on me as
a Yankee fan, him being a form

731
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:55.920
of red sock. But you know, I really enjoyed his work. I

732
00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:59.840
thought he should have been resigned.
An I'm a big fan of Johnson Tim's

733
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:02.440
I just don't get that. I
do not get that. The team itself

734
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:06.599
was the one who literally looked at
you, Jeff Beck, and said,

735
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:08.119
nah, we're not bringing Johnny.
But I don't agree with a lot of

736
00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:10.679
the Yankee moves. Most of the
time. I think I sounded the show

737
00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:14.960
and said, yes, that's very
true. But at the same time,

738
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:20.039
if the team didn't do what you
wanted, how can you fault him for

739
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:22.840
one in to go get a ring. I wouldn't fault him at all that

740
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:24.320
sense. I would be upset that
he went to the red Sock red Sock.

741
00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:28.000
But I want to be up that
upset at him. No, I

742
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.320
want to be up that upset that
he uh that if he did in the

743
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:34.519
off season this past year. Let
me try it this way. If he

744
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:36.960
came back here later on the season. I don't even know if the Red

745
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:38.639
Socks go to Yankee Stadium again or
not. I don't even know. But

746
00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:42.159
if he came back and went to
the Yankee Stadium moves dressed as a red

747
00:51:42.199 --> 00:51:47.519
Sock, would you boo? Probably? I don't get that. It's the

748
00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:52.639
same thing. I wouldn't get up
a cheater. I don't cheer red sock

749
00:51:52.719 --> 00:51:53.800
players. You know, it's the
same thing. I didn't say he had

750
00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:57.400
to cheer him. You know.
It's like if I asked if you would

751
00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:04.320
boot, wouldn't be that loud get
a clarification if he if I'd be disappointed

752
00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:08.800
if he went to Tampa Bay obviously
another I think and Tapa Bay came to

753
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:12.440
town. Would you boo him if
you were in a Yeah, definitely,

754
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:15.559
I mean Tampa neck and neck right
now the al Yeah, I would you

755
00:52:15.719 --> 00:52:19.719
boo him for going to Tampa Bay. I think blew the player that the

756
00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:23.239
team didn't resign, Yes, purpose
purposefully. It's not that he spurned the

757
00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:28.119
Yankees to go make more money somewhere
else. Allah what he did the Red

758
00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:32.559
Sox. You'd rather because after Detroit
gives up on him, essentially because they

759
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:35.719
gave up on their season, they
tried to get something. I'm not I'm

760
00:52:35.760 --> 00:52:38.079
not faulting the guy for wanting to
ring. Want to win a ring,

761
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:42.559
right, but I'd be I'd be
disappointed. So yeah, i'd boo him.

762
00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:45.320
Yeah, I'm not gonna go up
to play standing ovation, so it

763
00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:47.360
would be a disappointment. Boom,
It's it's anybody in the division. If

764
00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:51.320
he went to Toronto. I think
the only time I had cheer from was

765
00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:53.159
if he was in an Oils Jersey. Okay, I just don't. I

766
00:52:53.280 --> 00:52:55.840
just don't. I don't get I
don't get the booing him in this situation

767
00:52:55.920 --> 00:53:00.639
as a Yankee fan, but don't. Well, we may not ever come

768
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:04.400
to an understanding or conclusion on that, but we do have an understanding conclusion

769
00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:07.280
that this show is going to wrap
up in about eight minutes, and that

770
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:12.480
we do have yet to get to
Hayni's twits as well as giveaway one spot

771
00:53:12.639 --> 00:53:15.280
left, not one spot left,
but one of the three spots left in

772
00:53:15.320 --> 00:53:17.800
the Wheelhouse Fantasy Football League. So
here's what my thought is right now,

773
00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:22.199
if we can get everybody loaded up
in calling three four seven two three seven

774
00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:25.320
fifty two oh three, what's going
to happen is this Jeff Peck will be

775
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:29.760
playing for one of you on the
phone lines. I will be playing for

776
00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:32.960
the other one of you on the
phone lines, will be hold on,

777
00:53:34.079 --> 00:53:37.559
I did pretty well last week.
Will be We'll be winning a spot.

778
00:53:37.639 --> 00:53:40.400
So one of the two lines that
we pick up will be winning a spot

779
00:53:42.119 --> 00:53:46.360
in the Wheelhouse Fantasy Baseball Baseball Football
League. So cause when we read it

780
00:53:46.440 --> 00:53:49.760
roll, let's give the intro once
again, and this is open it agaybody,

781
00:53:49.840 --> 00:53:52.280
anybody and everybody, Like last night
Outlaw called in not not what I

782
00:53:52.320 --> 00:53:55.159
would consider to be an old time
Wheelhouse fan. Don't have to be.

783
00:53:55.239 --> 00:53:58.920
There's no trivia questions, there's none
of that. If you're listening right now,

784
00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:01.719
be your first time, or you
like fantasy football or the fifty first

785
00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:06.039
time. This week, I gotta
cost your money. Just want to play

786
00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:07.840
in the fantasy football league. That
also should be a crucial element. Yeah,

787
00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:13.000
we're not get a T shirt that
says cause rape metes. We're not

788
00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:15.679
wagering here. There's no money involved
at least as far as you know.

789
00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:21.920
So give you this from last week. Would be happy to dish that out.

790
00:54:22.719 --> 00:54:25.840
Uh So, here's the deal.
You gotta call that three four seven

791
00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:30.039
two three. That's all you have
to do is call. If you call

792
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:31.559
in, you've got a shot of
being in the fantasy football league. Because

793
00:54:31.599 --> 00:54:35.599
Jeff is playing for one of you, I'm playing for another one of you.

794
00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:42.800
In this tonight's edition of Hey nice
twits, twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter

795
00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:50.920
tweet twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter twitter
nice twits. All right, this is

796
00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:57.679
a game where Cause has been patrolling
and trolling all of the intranets to get

797
00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:01.239
you the actual twitters made by celebrities, athletes, and other people that we

798
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:07.239
don't care about and generally make fun
of uh that said he'll give us an

799
00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:12.320
actual Twitter. The job of myself
and Jeff Peck is to guess which celebrity

800
00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:16.760
out of the four possible choices said
that Twitter. If we get it right,

801
00:55:16.920 --> 00:55:20.400
then the point goes our direction.
Right now, nobody's calling in.

802
00:55:20.800 --> 00:55:22.440
I tried to make this as easy
as possible for everybody, did I not?

803
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:27.199
Cause I said last night I would
make it so easy. And it's

804
00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:30.119
not like nobody's listening because we had
an awesome chat room tonight going for Terry

805
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:35.000
Funk, right, adh L Jeter
fan is gloating, Well, yeah,

806
00:55:35.039 --> 00:55:37.079
he's already in from last night.
But he's already after last night. Yeah,

807
00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:40.599
so if this is a wrestling fantasy
league, we would have been just

808
00:55:40.840 --> 00:55:45.039
rolling in people. Literally, all
you have to do is fucking call three

809
00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:50.599
four seven two three seven point fifty
two zero three one of the two of

810
00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:54.119
us, Jeff Pecker myself will be
winning in this. And thus I've heard

811
00:55:54.159 --> 00:56:00.079
of listeners going to call our STFU
line and sing, oh that has not

812
00:56:00.239 --> 00:56:04.440
shown up yet, necessary welcome to
last week? Yeah, thank you?

813
00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:08.679
All right, cause let's get ready
to roll here with Twitter number one.

814
00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:12.079
I think we should we should have
the ability to remove someone from the league.

815
00:56:12.119 --> 00:56:15.000
Now, is that is that we're
gonna do just some random somebody who

816
00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:20.559
had nothing to do with the cold
fall on anyone? Yeah? About and

817
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:25.639
I could pick I pick eighty eight? Wow? All right, here we

818
00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:31.039
go. I was bitching because I
had to get my Bentley fixed. Then

819
00:56:31.079 --> 00:56:35.519
I said to myself, how the
fucking you bitch about fixing a Bentley?

820
00:56:36.159 --> 00:56:45.239
Yo? What's up? Is that
Rampage Jackson, Iced Tea? Ludicrous or

821
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:52.000
P Diddy? Wow? That's hey, welcome to the sweet nasty Twitter account.

822
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:55.239
P Diddy Wow? I like that? All right? So it's iced

823
00:56:55.280 --> 00:56:59.920
Tea, Rampage Jackson, P Diddy? And who was the other one?

824
00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:07.000
Ludicrous Luda? All right? Uh, Jeff Pack, I'm gonna go with

825
00:57:07.199 --> 00:57:10.760
Rampage Jackson. Do you think he's
got a Bentley? Did make some good

826
00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:15.599
cash doing the UFC. You gotta
figure he's got something, right, I

827
00:57:15.800 --> 00:57:21.960
say, one of the more reflective
of the of that bunch is going to

828
00:57:22.039 --> 00:57:24.960
have to be Iced Tea. So
we've got Rampage and iced tea, cause

829
00:57:25.039 --> 00:57:30.480
or either one of us correct on
tweet number one. One of you is

830
00:57:30.639 --> 00:57:36.760
correct. As Michael Bower takes him
one nothing lead. He's self reflective.

831
00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:38.159
Well, you know, ice Tea
has just been arrested recently, so I

832
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:42.320
feel like he's trying to do look
at the bright side of numerous things.

833
00:57:42.360 --> 00:57:49.199
He's a glass half full tea?
What right? Now? That was that

834
00:57:49.360 --> 00:57:52.559
motherfucking iced tea? Yes? He
has, by the way, an amazing

835
00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:55.639
job that he did as the voiceover
to the other guys. I just want

836
00:57:55.639 --> 00:58:00.039
to highlight that I didn't another all
right, stop giving stuff away? He

837
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:01.840
would? You just want to say, all right, here we go.

844
00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:43.079
That's her. Yeah, who's the
first bitch? Very respectful? I wonder

845
00:58:43.119 --> 00:58:46.920

somebody had just called in, somebody
could have been that would have been right

853
00:59:17.199 --> 00:59:22.039
