Excelled in a bygone era, excelled in a classic era, excelled in modernity, kept going, and had many of us convinced there could still be another Terry Funk ladder match at any time. poo poo, if I heard he came back from the dead, I'd believe it.

It fuckin sucks that Terry Funk never got the mainstream recognition he deserved just because he didn't work in WWF/WWE much. Hate to see the Funkster go

Hate to see the Funkster go It’s raising my hackles that every article is calling him “WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk” as if that was the pinnacle of his career, even if it is technically accurate.

I keep seeing people saying the tweet seems suspect because Mike Rotunda/IRS isn't a WWE Hall of Famer but...after Benoit dying completely axed Vince's stupid limo explosion angle I don't think they'd dare go for a fake death angle one day after Terry Funk passed. ...just...poo poo. EDIT: also PWInsider et. al are reposting it so it's probably unfortunately real.

I remember the excitement of his early NXT work as Bray Wyatt, and that awesome Mark Crozer and the Rels song. This really came out of loving nowhere.

It was reported as an illness, then like a few days ago everything indicated he was improving, then WHAM There's only one thing I can think of in recent times that's behaved that way though, and that's COVID, unless heaven forbid it was mental in origin and Windham fooled people.

Was reading the Trump lols thread in GBS when I saw the news about Bray in there, of all places. Very shocking and saddening, 36 is far too young. I remember really digging the "Wyatt family" gimmick when it was going on, with the lanterns and everything. RIP. Also a belated RIP to Terry Funk, who had many of the greatest feuds in pro wrestling, including my personal favorite when he feuded with Ric Flair in 1989 after Flair won the NWA title back from Ricky Steamboat.

Pat McAfee, William Regal, and Donovan Dijak have also tweeted about it at this point, so yeah. gently caress man. I know I'm in the minority but in terms of creative, out there poo poo, Bray may have been my favorite ever, and it genuinely saddens me that we'll never know what he had planned with this return.

This has been a shistastic 36 hours for the wrestling world. I had begun to think that Funk would be immortal, but Bray…gently caress. This hurts.

I don't think Amanda would go along with something like that though given Brodie's death Intruder fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Aug 25, 2023 |
