My first experience with Terry was seeing him as chainsaw Charlie in wwf, thankfully they dropped that whole chainsaw thing. But god drat, he had that thing about him. I just wanted to see more of him. Him and mick beating the outlaws at mania was so nice too. This one hurts a lot.

Funk was the greatest wrestler of all. Dusty Rhodes Sucks Eggs. Never trust a man who's hips are wider than his shoulders, Satchel-rear end!

RIP to the actual GOAT, the best of all time. Goddamn. I always thought Terry would outlive me somehow. Anyway, here's one of my favorite clips of Terry going insane in Memphis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSRyY4IM8y4

saw him exactly once at an ECW show in the 90s and glad for it, wish AEW could have gotten him in for a little bit of love and acknowledgement, a giant in the dang sport

Saw him trending on Twitter and immediately started saying "No no no no no no" before clicking and finding out. This sucks. I do wish the story that Mikey Whipwreck told on the Art of Wrestling about him was easily accessible because it always made me laugh.

My dad swears he was at this, but that would be entirely too cool for a goober like him. Granted he was 25 at the time, which is apparently 20 years younger than Terry was in this match, what the gently caress by the time I knew Terry he was already in his 50s and still made an incredible impression on me & my brothers. One of our wrestlers on Mt. Rushmore, to be sure

He was absolutely one of the best to ever do it. gently caress this sucks

Terry and Mick Foley had a great falls count anywhere match on Raw in the buildup to Over the Edge in 98, and that was my first real exposure to this crazy old man. I don’t know if you can say any one wrestler is the best ever, but I can’t think of many who have been as influential.

Chainsaw Charlie gimmick was so dumb, yet so cool. Like it’s Terry Funk. But he’s Chainsaw Charlie now. Don’t worry about it. Him and Cactus Jack beating the poo poo out of each other as 1 or 2 of a Royal Rumble was p. fun

Rented WrestleWar from the video store right after I got into wrestling and this promo has always been one of my favorite moments and one of the things that solidified me into being a lifelong wrestling fan. RIP Funker

Nobody ever gave back to the business like he did. Nobody did more to make opportunities for people. Everything that is good about wrestling could be found in the form of Terry Funk.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FPvXaWOzpA Watching ECW from the start, Terry Funk is far & away the brightest light. Him just talking to the rear end of a horse pretending it was Eddie Gilbert is such a delight. And that's the thing with the Funker. He could be funny as hell, he could be terrifying & deathly serious.

The Insane Clown Posse is a pair of rappers, Violent Jay and Shaggy 2 Dope, who paint their faces up like clowns. They're also completely insane and a couple of wrestling fans. They put out a videotape where they were commenting on old matches. One of the matches had me versus Abdullah the Butcher, and they kept knocking us and laughing at us. "Look at those two big goofs, acting like they're wrestling. Ha ha ha!" After I heard about that, every time someone told me they were going to see the Insane Clown Posse, I said, "Tell them if I see them, I'm going to go ahead and kick their asses! Goofy bastards, knocking me on a tape and using it without consent!" Of course, I wouldn't have known the Insane Clown Posse from Adam and Eve, if I'd seen them on the street. I sure wasn't listening to their drat music! Finally, I got a call at the ranch from Sabu: "Terry, I've got the Insane Clown Posse here. They want to come and see you, but they don't know if you're mad at them or not." "Well," I said, "bring the sons of bitches out here." They had just finished a show in Corpus Christi, and their next one was in Houston, so they took their buss all the way from Corpus Christi to Amarillo, and then back down to Houston after they met me! I told you they were nuts! And so the Insane Clown Posse came into the house, and Vicki had some chili cooked up. They sat down and ate a bowl of chili apiece and talked to me. They said they were sorry if I was upset over what they had said on that tape, and we buried the hatchet. Then, Violent Jay said, "Terry, we want to leave you some money for using that tape of you." I said, "No, no, don't do that!" "Yes, Terry, we're going to leave it under this jar, on this counter here!" I kept telling them not to, but I walked into the next room before them. They followed me in, and told me they had to go. We said our goodbyes, and the Insane Clown Posse drove off in their bus. And I walked back into the other room, to get the money I knew they'd left. I have to tell you, I was excited. I was thinking, "Oh boy, I bet they left me twenty bucks, or maybe even forty," which would have just tickled me pink. I thought I'd have enough to pay for the chili, at least, and so I was really happy at the notion of having twenty bucks. I went in there, lifted up the jar ... and there was four thousand dollars there! And so let me tell you people something right now --- I love the Insane Clown Posse! The next retirement match I have, they're going to be in the semi-final! They're the greatest band in the world, and I have all their records. Haven't got around to listening to them yet, but I have them here somewhere.

Born To Be Wired was one of the first VHS wrestling tapes I ever ordered. That match is so absolutely insane, and I have probably watched it a million times. From that point on I was a huge fan of Funk, and he's easily one of the best to ever get in the ring. Him and Sabu put on a match so dangerous that Paul E never did a Barb Wire ring match again. Just an absolute legend in every way.

The match that followed this (the I Quit match) was for many many years my favourite match I've ever seen.

im only now appreciating how funny it is that sabu was the one to take funker's lighthearted threat seriously and called him while having the two of them pinned down
