Brian Last and Dave Meltzer just made random tweets about how Terry Funk is the greatest/saying he's their favorite of all time. Just seems kind of random, unless he's just taken a swing for the worse, but hasn't necessarily passed. I really hope he's still with us, such an absolute legend.
Edit, 06/25/23: Looks like, luckily, The Funker is still going strong. So I'll turn this into a thread about the man. What's your favorite Funk match of all time? I wish I had been alive and there in person for a lot of his early stuff in the '60s. Obviously his ECW run was great as well, and his '97/'98 WWF run. But my favorite segment of his entire body of work would be his '89 stuff with Flair, and he was already 45 for that. Truly an icon.

Maybe fix that headline now to just "Terry Funk: The Greatest" or something.

Probably just giving him respect and maybe this thread can turn into that.

The title made me think that somehow he was wrestling in some random show/match again. lol

Of all the complete insanity Terry Funk was involved in over the years I honestly still think 4:30 of this match was the nastiest looking bump he took.

Admittedly I've never seen a pre-ECW Funk match. Anything where he was actually young really. That being said, is there a #1 match or feud to check out of his from his younger days?

Oldest match I've seen from him was against Lawler in a empty arena match and was probably in mid 30's which isn't old. |
