BrianS81177 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Terry Funk was, still is, and will forever remain my all time favorite wrestler. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) The first non-WWF wrestling show I saw was WCW, right after Flair won the title back from Steamboat and Funk piledrove him through a table. I was hooked ever since. R.I.P. to the best to ever do it. Edited August 23, 2023 by Ace 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I don’t have much else to add except that for a man who was on a level of toughness that Harley Race was on and was a great heel, he had the kindest and most gentle voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Terry Funk has to be one of the great wrestler names that was also the wrestler's real name. Harley Race would be in the conversation for that. Not sure how to count the guys who used a last name that was pronounced the same and spelled differently than their real name (Rick Rude/Ric Flair) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a little “Sting” sign with a scorpion on it and all. I was waving it at Funk as he came down the aisle. He saw it and reared back like he was going to punch me. I ran like hell. Best thing that’s ever happened to me at a wrestling show. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul sosnowski Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I found this match online about 2 months ago. NWA New Jersey (Dennis Coraluzzo). May 12, 1995. Haledon NJ.

Death From Above Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Diggin' through my oooooold files that have been untouched through a couple of computers probably, I was reminded Terry was in probably the greatest still photo from any deathmatch ever, so there's also that. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Also no thread about Terry would be complete without the two absolutely bonkers Real World Tag Leage finals from All Japan in 1977 and 1979. Still some of the wildest shit ever put to film. https://youtu.be/XY5wtCuzOg4?si=6MqpCUBaa4GwYL4b The '79 match might be my favourite brawl of all-time. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Terry is, in my opinion, the best ever, the one true GOAT. He was top tier in ever aspect and was completely selfless because he knew the show would go on and that his job was to do the right thing for the show he was on. A class act and kind soul a rare thing in the crazy business he chose. RIP Funker you gave us everything you could and we’re all the better for it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
