Cody tells Louisville he knows what he wants to talk about. He was 11 years old in Denver traveling with his father. He hears a man on the people mover yelling the most peculiar insult.

He could not see the man yelling and he thought there might be a domestic incident. It was the proprietor of the Double Cross Ranch, it was Terry Funk.
Modern nomenclature allows people to call each other WWE superstars when we get in this ring. We have been called wrestlers, athletes, competitors, and carnies.

He went to West Texas State and actually attended classes there. Terry was a fixture in this business for fifty years.
