Funk's Corner
-Sometimes it just takes being with nice people to get your day rolling.
Marti and I had breakfast with Rocky Johnson and his wife Sheila at the Ocala, Hilton yesterday morning.
After attending "The Rock's" movie premier in Miami, Rocky and his wife Shelia were traveling up Interstate 75 through Ocala on the way to Missouri to visit their cotton farm as the harvest season is now here.
Coffee, scrambled eggs, bacon, waffles, grits and gravy along with some fresh fruit went down as we talked about old school wrestling and three hours went by fast.
We have photos of Rocky Johnson from yesterday at the Hilton and of course "The Rock" himself on our website at www.dory-funk.com.

It’s “Summers’ Time” as IPW:UK Return to Sittingbourne, Kent, On Sunday September 9th At The Wyvern Hall!
» On July 29th in front of a super-fun loving Sittingbourne audience, IPW:UK made their debut at the Wyvern Hall. With an amazing 30-minute Iron Fist main event, local fans went away knowing of new wrestling heroes such as Martin Stone, The Kartel, Stixx and many many more.
Speaking of Heroes, however, September 9th will be the evening of the Hated Heroes – LT Summers, Aviv Maayan, Billi Lightning and Andy Boy Simmonz, as all four men rule the roost. With five matches to fill, how will the Heroes decided to torment their enemies such as JC Thunder, Rus Rogers and Martin Stone?
For more information or to buy tickets head over to http://www.ipwuk.com/ right away!
» Last time in Sittingbourne it was the team of Iestyn Rees and Dave Sharp, both from Swindon’s 4FW, that were given the task of trying to inflict the first defeat on The Kartel since their return to IPW. After the match, the tension between the two men was high, with neither happy about the result.
In thinking about their matchmaking duties, therefore, The Hated Heroes have decided once again to bring both men back to Sittingbourne – but this time, AGAINST one another!
As a direct result of their loss to The Kartel last time out, current 4FW Champion Iestyn Rees will go head-to-head against a former 4FW Champion in ‘All Eyes On Me’ Dave Sharp with all to play for.
» 5 matches as decided by The Hated Heroes combination of LT Summers, Andy Boy Simmonz, Billi Lightning and Aviv Maayan.
