 Terry Funk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Terrence (Terry) Funk (born June 30, 1944) is an American professional wrestler, known chiefly for the hardcore wrestling style he adopted in the later part of his career that inspired many later wrestlers, most notably Mick Foley.
Funk punched out Foley and called him a piece of shit, busting him open and making him bleed from his left eye, which is a spot commonly used to make Mick Foley bleed, as he bleeds very easy on that area.
Terry jokingly mentioned on the Legends of Wrestling II game about wondering why Dean Malenko named the submission hold he "invented" the Texas Cloverleaf if Dean was from Florida.

Oftentimes, Terry (who, once he "turned," was a natural heel and someone able to evoke a great deal of negativity from his audience) would arrive in a territory a few weeks ahead of his brother and engage in a feud with the top local babyface.

Terry Funk had just taken the National Wrestling title from Brisco, which was a hard-fought 60 minuter - not as hard to come by in the seventies as they are now.

Several things can be concluded about Terry Funk's life around the mat game - he's nearly always been one of the best, and when he hasn't been he worked his ass off to make up for it.
