[16 / 2 / 9]
LOOK 6/10 pretty average sized guy. funk definitely had some gym time and had a decent physique in his younger days. Big alcoholic nose and frizzy curly hair, but somehow pulled off the balding mullet. chicken ass legs, you could tell dude had real knee and hip problems ( even when he was younger) before doctors knew how to fix that shit.Looked cool i guess with the funk U you shirt and striped tights later on. The headband and taped fist displayed the old grizzled vet look. The maniac cowboy look with the cattle brand was cool too. PROMO 9/10 he had a warbly, weird voice that sounded like your rambling, elderly grandpa even in his youth. Funk didnt plan his matches and definitely didnt plan some of his promos either. He would shoot in a promo long before it was a thing. He could do a sports like, professional "espn" style interview where he talked about the nwa title or his families heritage. Would call you a gutless, chickenshit or an egg sucking, cowardly dog. Would tell a story and tie it up nicley (stories about family or donkeys or some shit lol). He would do promos on his ranch or just dump motor oil on himself...who the fuck knows wat was going on his head lol. He would randomly swear and didnt give a fuck about mcmahons or anyone elses TV. Its hard too describe his promos but they are great even when he is lost in thought or bumbling over his words because it makes him look more umpredidictable. Great fucking promo.

IN RING 7/10 his selling was comical and goofy like a drunken fool where he takes a punch and then starts starts punching at air. He was clumsy and honestly sloppy as shit but he would take these crazy spills out of the ring ass first and would lunge at fans. He was slow even young. You could tell he was crippled in the hips and knees from wrestling or football or whatever. Also had his fair share of bothces ( possibly because hes left sided) but didnt plan shit and made his matches look more wild. He went from working NWA style matches with knee drops and piledrivers to deathmatch shit. Despite all of his short comings in the ring, he made it work and has some of the most legendary matches of all time. did hardcore shit with jerry lawler and the sheik before hardcore was a thing. he would just chuck shit in the ring like a maniac then run away like a chicken shit heel. He would fall like a sack of shit into barbed wire or bombs because he had balls of titanium and truly didnt give a fuck and was doing moonsaults in his 60s. GIMMICK 10/10 he played a crazy cowboy from texas because he was one. A true nomad like drifter that worked wherever the fuck he wanted. He would never stay anywhere for too long. He always went where the action was and drew money everywhere. whether it was memphis or japan dude got over huge. He would work in smw with cowboy bob orton one minute, then in a barb wire match with sabu in ecw in another. great heel but was a god like gaijin baby face in japan. He had the psychos in philadelphia crying like babies during his entrance. Did jobs and never played politics because he wasnt a faggot. Great fueds with everyone from harley race and flair to abdullah and cactus jack. He is the father of harcore wrestling and a true iron man of the industry.

1. bonus point for never being a mark and making guys wherever he went 2. bonus point for calling mcmahon a yankee son of a bitch on TV and giving zero fucks 3. bonus point for tearing up more jap pussy than most of us ever will OVERALL SCORE 36/40 this is a long one just like funks career. its hard for me too sum him up in a few short paragraphs. He is legitamtely the iron man of pro wrestling and the guy is made of steel. I have a soft spot for him too. My grandma owned a bar off of armenia and sligh ave in tampa in the early 90s and terry would always shoot pool or throw darts with me when i was a little kid. He was just a cool motherfucker even then. if you dont like terry funk you are a faggot RIP Terry Funk

>>11311215 Funk was a pretty big guy about 6'2, he was just hunched over in his middle aged years.

>>11311672 i believe thats a fair rating. your entitled to your opinion though. bret hart and shawn michaels were 10s in the ring but overall terry smokes both of them. in ring is not everything/

>>11311242 >in ring 7/10 You're usually pretty okay on these, ESL bro, but you're so fucking wrong here.
Terry's a 9 at least, an innovator at every level.
