Dorrance Wilhelm "Dory" Funk (May 4, 1919 – June 3, 1973) was a professional wrestler. He is the father of wrestlers Dory Funk, Jr. and Terry Funk.
Funk was an Indiana high school state champion amateur wrestler for three years, as well as an Indiana State University Amateur Athletic Union champion for one year.
Funk began his career as a professional wrestler after serving in the United States Navy during World War II, starting in the southwest United States. He wrestled primarily in the Texas territories and the Central States territories during his career.
After retirement he became a promoter with Doc Sarpolis in Amarillo, Texas, where he led a thriving wrestling scene which produced many stars, including his sons Dory Funk Jr. and Terry Funk, as well as Stan Hansen, Ted DiBiase, Tito Santana, Jumbo Tsuruta and Genichiro Tenryu. Funk had a good business relationship with All Japan Pro Wrestling founder Shohei Baba, which led Funk's talent pool to useful international experience.
Funk was also heavily involved with the Cal Farley Boys Ranch in Amarillo.
Richard Morgan Fliehr (born February 25, 1949) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Ric Flair. Also known as "The Nature Boy", Flair is considered to be one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time with a professional career that spans 40 years. He is currently working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), and is noted for his lengthy and highly decorated tenures with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (now known as WWE). Flair is officially recognized by WWE, TNA and PWI as a 16-time World Heavyweight Champion (seven-time NWA Champion, seven-time WCW Champion and two-time WWF Champion) although his actual tally of World Championship reigns varies by source—Flair considers himself a 21-time world champion.
In World Championship Wrestling (WCW), he also had two stints as a booker—in 1989–1990 and 1994. Flair also became the first and only man to have won the WWF Championship in a Royal Rumble match, when he accomplished this in the 1992 edition of the event. In 2012, Flair became the first ever double inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame, first inducted in 2008 for his individual career, and for a second time in 2012 as a member of the Four Horsemen. He is also an NWA Hall of Famer (class of 2008). Flair's hair styles and mannerisms are based on those of Buddy Rogers, who previously and famously used the "Nature Boy" gimmick in the 1950s and '60s. Coincidentally, Flair also followed Rogers in becoming the second man to win both the WWF and the NWA World Heavyweight Championships.
I will be here when you need me by your side
I will be here once the thrill is gone
I will be here when everything is just right
I will be here after you move on
I'm a rock in the ocean
And you, you are the tide
You know I am going nowhere
I'm just waiting here for the water to rise
I don't know how the story ends
And I don't want to know, so if you do
Don't tell me
Let's pretend we write it as we go
Promises are so hard to keep
We say things we don't mean
This house is cold and empty
Just a ghost of who I used to be
I stare at my own reflection
Wonder if you'd even recognize me
Last night I heard you whisper
“Everything is fine, I am here, I am here”
Last night I saw your shadow
But when I called your name you disappeared
Who's gonna say goodnight?
Who's gonna stop the word from turning?
Who's gonna numb my pain?
Who's gonna save me when the sky is crashing down?
How happy we are today
The feeling will only escape
No matter who we blame it on
When the thrill is gone, it's gone, it's gone
This could be the best we got
And what we got is on our hands
Are you going to the countdown?
Sooner or later it's all in the past
Sooner or later it floats above the glass
Sooner or later it breaks inside the cast
Sooner or later...
Concrete rubble for concrete dreams
Grains of sand floating in the sea
Passing trains, all the passing trees
When you walked away it was the
Saddest day the world has known
Shattered my heart and left me in
Pieces of a broken home
Now you say you need me
Standing at the door
Asking if you can come in
And I can't say no, I can't say no
You and I just can't say goodbye
Every time we do, well
It's just another lie
I know you're no good for me, but
Every time I'm with you there's
Nowhere I'd rather be
We've been to hell, been burnt by the
Flames of a pain so deep that
Even the strongest god in the heavens would
Kneel and weep
But here I lie
Pressed against your skin
Right where I want to be
You're the sweetest sin
You and I just can't say goodbye
Every time we do, well
It's just another lie
I know you're no good for me, but
Every time I'm with you there's
You're too tired to talk now I understand You don't need to say you're sorry You do the best that you can But we think that tomorrow We'll find a way But we are who we are and that's okay
We walk we walk something we can't have We hold on we hold on to goddamn photographs
In this box we are safe And we'll never change That big world out there keeps calling our names I don't want to leave But I can't stay See we are who we are we got to find our way
We walk we walk something we can't have We hold on we hold on to goddamn photographs
We walk we walk something we can't have All that we got is these goddamn photographs
