The group later also came to include Christopher Daniels, Douglas Williams, and Matt Morgan.

    History

    Formation and feud with EV 2.0 (2010)

    On the January 4, 2010, live, three-hour episode of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's Impact! television show, Ric Flair made his debut for the company, observing the main event match between A.J. Styles and Kurt Angle. On January 17 at the Genesis pay-per-view, Flair helped Styles defeat Angle to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and in the process turned both himself and Styles heel. On the following episode of Impact!, Flair announced that he was going to take Styles under his wing and make him the next Nature Boy. On the February 24 episode of Impact! Flair and Styles were joined by Desmond Wolfe and in the weeks leading to Lockdown Beer Money, Inc. (James Storm and Robert Roode) and Sting were added to the group to complete Team Flair for the annual Lethal Lockdown match. On April 18 at Lockdown, Team Flair was defeated by Team Hogan (Abyss, Jeff Hardy, Jeff Jarrett and Rob Van Dam) and the following night on Impact! Styles lost the TNA World Heavyweight Championship to Van Dam. After Lockdown Sting left the group and went on to feud with Jarrett, while the rest of Team Flair remained intact.

    Fortune (magazine)

    Fortune is an American business magazine, published globally by Time Inc. and founded by Henry Luce in 1929. The magazine competes with Forbes and Bloomberg Businessweek in the national business magazine category and distinguishes itself with long, in-depth feature articles. The magazine is best known for the Fortune 500, a ranking of companies by revenue that it has published annually since 1955.

    History

    Fortune was founded by Time co-founder Henry Luce in 1929 as "the Ideal Super-Class Magazine", a "distinguished and de luxe" publication "vividly portraying, interpreting and recording the Industrial Civilization".Briton Hadden, Luce's business partner, was not enthusiastic about the idea – which Luce originally thought to title Power – but Luce went forward with it after Hadden's sudden death on February 27, 1929.

    In late October 1929, the Wall Street Crash of 1929 occurred, marking the onset of the Great Depression. In a memo to the Time Inc. board in November 1929, Luce wrote: "We will not be over-optimistic. We will recognize that this business slump may last as long as an entire year." The publication made its official debut in February 1930. Its editor was Luce; its managing editor was Parker Lloyd-Smith; its art director was Thomas Maitland Cleland.

    Fortune

    by: Ken Hensley

    Although now it seems like never
    When we were even less together
    I appeared to have my back to the wall
    And the way things were going
    There was no way of knowing
    If I was having any luck at all
    Silently, suddenly
    Standing before me
    An old man awaited his death
    Part of me cried out
    But none turned to hide
    For no curses distorted his breath
    It was then I took to thinking
    And my hands took to writing
    And my dreams came
    In answer to the call
    Waiting in wonder
    My toughts ran like thunder
    Could it be that
    I've been wasting my mind
    I grew sort of cold
    As the vision unfolded
    Bursting the shackles of time
    So I gathered what I had
    I took a look at
    What was going down
    And it made me kinda sad
    Seeing all the circles
    Going slowly round
    And the stars sang in harmony
    It was so perfect that
    It laid me down
    And the rainclouds
    Were tossed away
    Seemed like the world was lost
    And I would drown in its sound
    Somewhere along the way
    I don't know where
    I had really believed I was poor
    Looking, not seeing
    The point of my being
