WWE Honors the Legacy of Hall of Famer Terry Funk

The wrestling world mourns the loss of an icon as WWE Hall of Famer, Terry Funk, passes away. WWE recently released a heartfelt tribute video, reflecting on this legendary figure’s illustrious career and life.

Born into a wrestling dynasty, Terry Funk, alongside his brother Dory Funk Jr., began his journey in their father’s promotion in Amarillo, Texas. His rugged, no-nonsense style quickly resonated with the NWA audience, leading him to significant success, including capturing the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

Terry’s charisma wasn’t just confined to the squared circle. Hollywood took notice, casting him in roles that showcased his larger-than-life personality. But it was in the wrestling ring where Terry truly shined. His matches, especially those with fellow WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, pioneered the hardcore style, leaving an indelible mark on the industry.

The two former adversaries later teamed up, achieving tag team glory at WrestleMania 14. Terry’s influence was felt throughout his career across various promotions, including WCW, ECW, and WWE. His contributions were aptly recognized in 2009 when he, alongside his brother, was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Terry Funk’s legacy is one of passion, innovation, and an unwavering love for the sport. As the wrestling community remembers this legend, his impact on the industry remains undeniable.
