This news is making the rounds due to the fact that Terry Funk has been dealing with several medical issues over the last few years and some thought that Funk was done for good until recently.

Terry Funk at 73 would be a coup in any locker room. His passion for the business is second to none, and he’s no bullshitter. Just the knowledge he has will add to that locker room. If someone told Terry Funk he was too old, you might get the shit slapped out of you. His promo’s were believable, because that is Terry Funk. Watch and learn folks.
