Opinions:
“Terry Funk is a true living legend. And if you are ever in the mood to hear some of the most wacky, out there promos you’ve ever heard, go listen to some old school Terry Funk. The guy could adapt to any situation in the ring & could work any style he was needed to. Whether it was a hardcore death match against Cactus Jack or a mat classic against Ric Flair, Funk was able to give you a classic battle. On a personal note once again, Terry Funk was my first ever interview in pro wrestling. I never interviewed anyone before in general & had the opportunity to ask a few questions to Terry Funk backstage at a Ring of Honor show in New York City on camera. I had no clue what I was doing, but Terry was a true professional & had been interviewed thousands of times so he was completely on point. The fanboy in me marked out like never before & it opened up a new door for me. In my eyes, Terry Funk should be Top 20 of all time, but 21 will do.” — Jay Alletto
“In a career spanning half a century, Terry Funk wrestled for nearly every major promotion on the planet. Perhaps most well known for his hardcore wrestling, Terry Funk is an ECW legend, and is without one of the greatest wrestlers of all time; more than worthy of a spot in the top #30.” — Matt Burgess
