Flashback!! 8.14.04 & 8.28.04

Art of a Promo III

----This flashback features two promos from Terry Funk – it has the 8.14 and 8.28.04 promos. I am having some technical difficulties so I had to “borrow” this from a video already posted on youtube.com. After you watch this, you will think Funk is a total nut and you believe he is going to try to kill Jerry Lawler. I don’t believe the whole 8.21.04 promo airs and I will post the complete transcript of it in next week’s Flashback. The week after that, I will go over the full results of the 8.28.04 Throwback II show with complete gate and thoughts from Funk’s book about it. Funk talks about these promos here talking about them being half-shoots. The people believed!!

“Good promos are half-shoots, all the time. In order to do a good promos, you have to ready to damn near shoot. There’s an artistry to it – you have to live, breathe and believe what you’re saying and doing.”

“Junior and I also had a long feud with the Brisco brothers that played off of the same type of thing. It went back to our families – we claimed they were trying to dominate wrestling, and that we were the one, truly great family in the profession.”
