Speaker 1: There are many dynasties in the history of this great
Speaker 1: sports entertainment business, but perhaps none more storied than the
Speaker 1: famed Heart Clan of Calgary, Alberta, Canada and the Funk
Speaker 1: family of Amarillo, Texas. And here next in the TLFX Games,
Speaker 1: the matriarch of the former, Helen Hart, takes on one
Speaker 1: of the shining stars of the latter and former nw
Speaker 1: A and multi time champion across the globe in professional wrestling,
Speaker 1: Terry Funk. He was a pair of hard fought battles
Speaker 1: in the King of the Cast tournament for Helen and
Speaker 1: Terry who defeated Vader and Kevin Vaughan Eric respectively to
Speaker 1: advance in this tournament. And we're going to hear from
Speaker 1: both here momentarily in this high stakes in Kenner. But
Speaker 1: before we do, we need to remind you the TLFX
Speaker 1: Games is brought to you by our friends at Garage Beer,
Speaker 1: small batch light beer, flavored beer. Definitely not an IPA.
Speaker 1: We're talking garage beer. The garage is always open. Now
Speaker 1: we've opened up the warm line here in the TLFX
Speaker 1: Games event center for this next encanner between Helen Hart
Speaker 1: and Terry Funk. First we go up to Calgary to
Speaker 1: hear from the thame Helen.
Speaker 2: You know, fuck this shit, all right, you know, I
Speaker 2: just say, yeah, you know what, I'm not surprised I
Speaker 2: beat Vada. You shouldn't be surprised either. Didn't have to
Speaker 2: do much. Just fucking lay out a meal and watch
Speaker 2: the son of a bitch fall down, because you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm smarter than these fucking ass clowns. My whole family
Speaker 2: are these ass clowns. I hate this business. I hate
Speaker 2: being involved with wrestling. I've always hated it. I'm glad
Speaker 2: my fucking husband's out of this fucking thing. He's a
Speaker 2: fucking loser. If this, if this, winning this fucking tournament
Speaker 2: gets me closer to my fucking bottle, and so be it.
Speaker 2: And I'll fucking wipe the floor with all these fucking assholes.
Speaker 2: I don't give a shit. Funk funk off this piece
Speaker 2: of shit. You know, he's supposed to be a great
Speaker 2: wrestling family. I don't even fucking know. I've had. I
Speaker 2: had fucking a dozen kids. How many fucking kids did
Speaker 2: Terry funk have? They came all out of my fucking snatch?
Speaker 2: How many kids came out of his fucking snatch. I
Speaker 2: don't have time for this shit. All right, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: kick Terry Funk in the balls and I'm gonna call
Speaker 2: it a fucking day. Fuck you, fuck them wall I'm
Speaker 2: gonna get drunk. I'll get drunk now, I'll get drunk later.
Speaker 2: Go fuck off.
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to get our TLFX games cameras into
Speaker 1: the home, the warm welcoming home. I have won Helen
Speaker 1: hard who really counted well for herself against a veteran
Speaker 1: of the laps Fan airwaves. That's telling, defeating laps Vader
Speaker 1: by a margin of sixty nine point eight percent to
Speaker 1: thirty point two percent. It was an even more pronounced
Speaker 1: victory for the great Terry Funk, of course, the subject
Speaker 1: of tlf x's Definitive For tlf it's a definitive Lapsed
Speaker 1: Funk series, a career retrospective on one of the most
Speaker 1: consequential careers the business has ever seen, Terry Funk notching
Speaker 1: eighty point seven percent of the vote to Kevin Van
Speaker 1: Eric's nineteen point three percent. So will embiid be indeed
Speaker 1: rather be the Funk family advancing here in the King
Speaker 1: of the Cast Tournament. Now to Amarilla and the Double
Speaker 1: Cross Ranch. For words from Terry Funk. It was when
Speaker 1: I was NWA champion, is when it was, and I
Speaker 1: was torn the world on a different airplane, seemed every
Speaker 1: other day. I wasn't long for it, and I was
Speaker 1: pissed about it. It's putting pressure on my marriage, and
Speaker 1: it really wasn't making me feel a whole long accomplished.
Speaker 1: But one of the bright spots of uh a tough
Speaker 1: time in my life was making it up to Calgary
Speaker 1: and Stuhart's Stampede promotion. You know, I used to love
Speaker 1: those trips up there and spent a lot of time
Speaker 1: with Brett and the kids, and and in particular I
Speaker 1: remember mostly the tremendous hospitality that helen the mom, the matriarch,
Speaker 1: which showed me, you know what, I want ahead and
Speaker 1: I ate the turkey, I want ahead, and I ate
Speaker 1: the salad even though there was cat hair in the bowl,
Speaker 1: and I want ahead and want ahead. Up there, I
Speaker 1: think we even did the uh the Daguma Stampede Parade
Speaker 1: is what they called it, and you know, it can
Speaker 1: say a lot of things about Terry Funk, and it
Speaker 1: was it was a hard fought battle against Kevin von Rick, who,
Speaker 1: despite my words in the first round of this thing
Speaker 1: I have a deep respect for our fathers went to
Speaker 1: war and then the sons went to But I think
Speaker 1: it says a lot about who has true resiliency in
Speaker 1: this business that it's a Funker advancing while two van
Speaker 1: Erks fell without barely a whimper in the first round.
Speaker 1: I branded Kevin van Ericks ass and I buried him
Speaker 1: out back of the double Cross. And Helen, I'm afraid
Speaker 1: to say, as great as you were to me and
Speaker 1: to my family, you're about to meet the same fate
Speaker 1: because for me, it's never been about anything but the war.
Speaker 1: And Vince won the war, and I'm pissed about it.
Speaker 1: I'm still pissed about it, and I need somebody to
Speaker 1: take it out on. And if that is you, Helen Hart,
Speaker 1: and that's what it's going to be. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and get on this plane one more time up
Speaker 1: to call only differences. This time, I'm not coming home
Speaker 1: with the NBA championship. No, I'm coming home with your
Speaker 1: scalp in a victory in the next round of the
Speaker 1: TLFX Games. Well, I don't know how that one's going
Speaker 1: to turn out, but it sounds like sounds like one.
Speaker 1: Terry Funk has a much different recollection of what it
Speaker 1: was like to be in Harthouse in the salad days
Speaker 1: of the Heart Wrestling Family than Helen Hart does. Perhaps
Speaker 1: the inner monologue of Helen Hart winning out there in
Speaker 1: her comments relative to whr encounter against Terry Funk coming
Speaker 1: up in the TLFX Games. You want to keep it
Speaker 1: locked to the Lapsed Fan's ex account for details and
Speaker 1: when you'll be able to vote to determine whether Terry
Speaker 1: Funk or Helen Hart and all the other matchups in
Speaker 1: this next round advance in this all important tournament. In
Speaker 1: celebration of ten years of the Lapsed Fan Wrestling Podcast,
Speaker 1: it's the King of the cast tournament. Who will make it,
Speaker 1: who will survive, who will advance? Details to come and
Speaker 1: we'll see you next time right here in the TLFX
Speaker 1: Games Events Center.
