Then he went home and watched it. The TV cameras never focused on him, and what he was doing to get over to the live crowd wasn't aired. He wasn't the chosen one.

His performances were instinctive, not planned, past understanding the destination and figuring out the best way to get there. You wouldn't fully know what a Terry Funk match would be because so much of it was about what he thought the crowd was reacting to and how to take them where he wanted them to be. He had the ability to go into a new territory and in his first match, within seconds, get the crowd going crazy.are more insightful than anything you or Brian Least will have say in your entire life
