[10.0] "If Terry Funk isn't in your top three at least, you need to re-evaluate your priorities. Funk was a master of all trades, from classic technical wrestling to deathmatches. In my eyes, Funk is the embodiment of the wrestling business. Wild-eyed and crazy, but ultimately entertaining and kind of beautiful."

From his technical wrestling, japanese pro wrestling, Hardcore wrestling, even sports entertainment. One of best talker in pro wrestling. In my eyes, he is the definition of professional wrestler and professional wrestling."

[10.0] "Terry Funk is the complete wrestler. There is not a style that Terry wasn't just good at, but excelled at. Whether it's showing his technical prowess in Japan in the early 70s, combining his technique with a stiff brawling style in the mid to late 80s, or losing his mind and going hardcore in the 90s, Terry Funk was a master of wrestling. He was able to cut a promo that would make you feel the entire range of emotions, he could flawlessly switch from face to heel (Watch the WrestleWar '89 post-match promo with Flair to see this at its peak) and Terry was above all else completely selfless and that is rare for a guy who could do pretty much whatever he wanted anywhere he went, but Terry always gave his all and put in everything he could to help develop those he had a chance to work with. Terry is just the best, period."

[10.0] "Words truly can't describe how amazing Terry Funk is, he's the kind of wrestler you just need to see it to believe it. There's a reason that so many people still discuss him as among the greats after so many years have passed, because he was the perfect wrestler. Terry Funk is one of the best babyfaces and heels of all time, people truly adored this man, especially in Japan being arguably the best gaijin wrestler of all time. While we all meme the "Forever" promo, people forget that people were actually emotional over it and Terry Funk really meant that much to the people. As a heel, this man was as insane as you could get, his level of commitment to hating his opponents is legendary, (i.e. "Dusty Sucks Eggs" shirt) you could really believe that he hated his opponents and that he was willing to do anything to put them down. His feuds with the likes of Ric Flair, Jerry Lawler, Cactus Jack, Harley Race to name a few are legendary for a reason, matches and segments that are still discussed to this day. He was also an incredible promo guy, feeling authentic as a heel and babyface, naturally could command people's reaction as either, was also very funny when insulting his opponents and always entertaining to listen to. He was a true ring general, knew how to work the crowd, was an amazing storyteller, great ring psychology, an innovator in hardcore wrestling, did everything he could to give back to the business, never was afraid to adapt to the times and learn to appreciate the newer styles despite them being way after his prime, man did moonsaults in his 50s for crying out loud, a true legend in America and Japan. Overall, Terry Funk is one of the all time greats to ever do it, a legend for a reason, he was a true innovator and influencer to wrestling, we're truly lucky to have a guy like him in this industry. R.I.P. Terry Funk"

[10.0] "Terry Funk was arguably the greatest performer to ever come out of the Territory era. Not only he was a great wrestler and a personality but he did it for more than 40 years. He was either present or instrumental in the rise and most memorable moments of many wrestling promotions and performers. And unlike many of his peers who were very stubborn in changing with the times, terry not only evolve with the times but also did everything he could to build for the future. And there was never really a time where he wasn't a main featured guy or a time where he in one way or another didn't steal the show. He Could be a technician, a brawler, a hardcore wrestler (which he innovated most of it) or a high risk taker. He had the ability to always get over because he always knew how to read a crowd and adjust his presentation based on the audience he was performing. He was also famous for his numerous retirement matches which got to the point of being a joke within the industry. The Term "Greatest of all time" gets thrown a lot for a lot of performers. To Me "Greatest of all time" is not an individual, its a club and Terry Funk is right up there."

[10.0] "Now that he's gone, he is in everyone's all-time great conversation. And when you look at his career, it's hard to understand why he wasn't always in this conversation. He was relevant in so many different eras of wrestling, in so many different promotions, in so many different styles... I don't think there's anyone who can come close to something like that. Maybe Flair? Funk brought prestige with him everywhere he went; elevating places like ECW, FMW, and even late era WCW. The juxtaposition of him as an NWA champion and pioneer of deathmatch wrestling is an "only Nixon could go to China"-level mindfuck. Everywhere he went you could count on him for an entertaining match and a great promo. The guy really deserves a forensic career retrospective documentary; there's no one else like him in wrestling history. He had a run in so many different places and you got something good every time. Just look at his top ten matches here on cagematch- they span so many different styles, territories, and eras. That said, not *all* his matches are great, and if you're not into the deathmatch/hardcore style you're not going to like the majority of his matches that are easily accessible. Despite this, he belongs on most Mt Rushmores, especially the Mt Rusmore of promos. A+ promo, A gimmick, B in-ring. He's a strong 8 or 9 but his never-ending contributions to the sport push him up to 10. At the very least, you owe it to him to pull up a couple of his promos and give him the chance to convince you to watch some of his matches."

[10.0] "Terry is one of the top 10 wrestlers of all time, I have said this for years now. Its a shame it took his passing to remind me to sing my praises on my little soapbox here. His versatility in-ring as a technical whiz and a deathmatch legend is unmatched. His work on both sides of the pacific is legendary with great programs against Ric Flair, Harley Race, Atsushi Onita and most famously that egg sucking dog Dusty Rhodes. RIP to one of the innovators and icons of pro wrestling."
Excellence of Execution schrieb am 25.08.2023:
[10.0] "Absolute Legende! Hat mit seinem Bruder das japanische Wrestling aktiv gefördert und mitgestaltet. Eingedenk seiner kaputten Knie hat er sich im Ring dann so radikal neu erfunden wie kaum ein Wrestler vor oder nach ihm und wurde zu einem der besten Brawler - im Laufe der Zeit mit immer mehr Hardcore Anleihen. Spätestens in der ECW wurde er dann endgültig Kult, als durchgeknallter Hardcore Opa der Nation. Ein Image, das auch davon zerrt, dass Terry Funk, trotz eines Schaffens weit über seinen Zenit hinaus, immer noch entertainen konnte und dabei selten fehl am Platz wirkte. Sehr erfreulich auch, dass ihm trotz dessen ein respektables Alter vergönnt war. Ich ziehe meinen symbolischen Hut vor dem Funker!"
ChainsawJedis schrieb am 24.08.2023:
[10.0] "There is something about the way Terry Funk spoke - he was direct and unsettling, a gruff Texas-born rancher with a silver tongue that spewed malice. He was also gifted in the ring, particularly in his physical prime of the 70s. It was a feat in itself he was capable of delivering satisfying endings to the enthralling stories he had crafted with his voice. At times he was a methodical bastard breaking his opponents down physically and psychologically. Others a chaotic swarm who attacked before the bell even began or engaged in hardcore arena-wide brawls decades before it became in-fashion mainstream. Always he was mean. He knew that personal issues drew money, he was as believable, as real as it got. I am still discovering his work, I have barely even begun to scratch the surface of a fabled career that spanned generations, much of which is not easily available online. I think maybe more than any wrestler, I know I will be revisiting it throughout my lifetime. I am deeply saddened to see him go, his unique perspective on the world and the business will be greatly missed. Every wrestler should try to be like Terry Funk, to take something from his game. He got what this thing was about, better than anyone. The man who understood the sport of pro wrestling, at its finest essence, more than else ever has."

[10.0] "I didn't always appreciate Terry Funk, growing up with the attitude era I didn't fully understand who this old man called Funk was or why he was ECW World Heavyweight Champion over so many others. Looking back, I adore the man. An absolute great in his prime in the NWA and Japan who enjoyed a second prime as "middle aged and crazy" in ECW, WCW, WWF and abroad. Even as his years accelerated, he was called upon to provide credibility for matches in ROH, MLW and TNA and so many others. A hero and influence to many, his contribution is incalculable. FOREVER."
Foxmagic3 schrieb am 24.08.2023:
"I think Terry Funk is the only wrestler we can objectively agree on, and say he deserves to be inside a top 10 greatest of all time list. Doesn't matter if it is number 10 or 1, the things he accomplished in the Wrestling business can't be replicated. Every reinvention he did was successful. From being a crazy heel in Memphis, being the most over Babyface gaijin in Japan, being a hardcore pioneer, being a pure wrestler as the NWA champion, and getting into brawling matches in WCW. Like his theme song from Legends Of Wrestling said, he gave his all. Rest In Peace to the most passionate wrestler ever, Terry Funk. Goodbye, Texas Bronco. Since I made a new account after I lost my other's info, I'll give the rating here. 10/10"

[10.0] "The effect Terry had on wrestling was unfathomable. If something big was happening in wrestling, Terry was there. He could do it all and did do it all. Technical wrestling, brawling, sports entertainment, puro, deathmatch, etc. And he was damn near the best at all of em. Never a bad word said about this man. Left a mark on the wrestling world that will never ever be forgotten and will always be cherished. Rest easy Funker"

[10.0] "One of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. One of the greatest in-ring performers of all time. Was 1/2 of one of the greatest tag teams of all time, The Funks, with his real life brother, the legendary Dory Funk Jr. They are the only brother pair to have both held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. His father, Dory Funk Sr. was also a legendary wrestler. Achieved massive career longevity. Was extremely popular in Japan. One of the greatest Babyfaces of the 1970's. One of the greatest Heels of all time. One of the greatest promo artists of all time. One of the main guys that built ECW into a cult phenomenon. One of the early fathers of Independent Wrestling. Had great matches around the world. Feuds with Abdullah The Butcher, The Sheik, Cactus Jack, Harley Race, Ric Flair, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Stan Hansen, Bruiser Brody, Raven, Sabu, & Shane Douglas are legendary. Excellent tag team rivalry between The Funks vs. Jumbo Tsuruta & Giant Baba. The Funks became the first ever 3x AJPW Real World Tag League Tournament Winners. One of the most influential wrestlers of all time. One of the greatest sellers of all time. One of the greatest bumpers of all time. One of the best Ring Generals of all time. Incredible in-ring psychologist. Became one of the greatest & most influential Hardcore wrestlers of all time. Was the best in-ring performer in world over the age of 50 during the 1990's. Gave it his all in every match, and his body paid a heavy price for it. Highly charismatic. Held numerous championships all over territories & around the world. Was amazing at adapting to every decade & era that he wrestled in so that he never felt out of place. Wrestled for nearly every promotion that one could think of from the 1970's to the 2000's. UPDATED: RIP to the legendary Terry Funk!"

He could be a little goofy and over-the-top at times, but that made him endearing to me. His friendship with Mick Foley was inspired and the fact that Funk put his body through so much over the years to entertain us makes me love him even more."

Terry Funk is the perfect professional wrestler. Every young person should get a 10 hour tape of his work in the NWA in the 70s to protect his brother's world title reign, his feud with Jerry Lawler, his work in Florida with Dusty Rhodes, his Ric Flair work in the NWA in 1989, his ECW work from 94 to 97.

Over all of the decades of wrestling, if Terry Funk is/was on: your eyes and mind are/were GLUED. Absolutely outstanding and beyond remarkable talent who could never have enough praise heaped upon him. A man that could do (almost) everything and whom you NEVER got tired of watching. One of the best in ring careers ever. If you've only seen his wild brawling latter years, you're missing out on alot - first and foremost watch his feud with Ric Flair. it's a nice "middle era Terry Funk" to cut your teeth on. Then go back and forth over the years and find some gems; he really does his best to bring out something memorable no matter who his opponent is. The older I get the more I love Terry Funk! On a scale of zero to ten, GIVE HIM A 50!"

[10.0] "Top Ten All Time and impossibly influential. A top-level promo, a natural and dynamic worker, pioneered several gimmick matches like Empty Arena and I Quit through his understanding and application of psychology within those rulesets. One of the best tag wrestlers of all time along with his brother. Shifted the paradigms of face vs, heel and gaijin vs. natives in Japan by getting over HUGE and a babyface, I've never seen anything like it. His career arc and constant reinventions have few equals. It's crazy to think his run as NWA World Heavyweight Champion is sort of his first chapter as a major star and isn't as well-known as his other work. The Flair feud in WCW was genius, his hardcore phase in IWA Japan and ECW wasn't just inspirational and groundbreaking, it made for some classic matches and legitimized what hardcore wrestling could do if the right kind of psychology, selling and storytelling was involved. Decently successful in his forays into acting, as well. And on top of all that, a tirelessly hard worked who remained dedicated to the craft, giving and giving until he just physically couldn't. His shtick is still being borrowed today by the 2020 Wrestler of the Year Jon Moxley. Terry Funk is a titan, an immortal, a hands-down all time great."

He would later wrestle in WWF, WCW, ECW where he was a 2-time ECW World champion including an ECW World Title win at ECW's first PPV Barely Legal and also in FMW and IWA Japan, where he wrestled in some crazy deathmatches, including the IWA Japan King of the Deathmatch finals against Cactus Jack. He has had a whole bunch of retirement matches, but I think he just couldn't ditch the wrestling bug because he has such a love for the business. A legend of the hardcore style. I feel like he and Cactus Jack popularized hardcore wrestling and without them there may have never been promotions like CZW and later GCW and ICW No Holds Barred.

Terry did gravitate away from the technical side of things after the 70s but never lost his charm. He played the crazy heel well, having renowned feuds with Lawler and Flair in which he'd bring that crazy persona all the way in.

(vs Sabu in a barbed wire match and vs Flair in an I Quit match). Other matches have been really good. Looking forward to watching more of the Funker."

[10.0] "It's crazy how for so many decades Terry Funk was able to keep himself relevant as a pro wrestler. I feel like he's really underrated as a technical wrestler but that's probably because of his brother Dory. Funk was a great NWA World Heavyweight Champion being able to carry people to great 60 minute matches. For some reason after dropping the belt he fell out of the title picture. I loved his feud with Jerry Lawler in Memphis. In 1989 he became a unlikely contender for The NWA World Heavyweight Championship again. He had some great matches with Ric Flair in that time. He helped the independent promotion ECW and won their World Heavyweight Championship on their first pay per view in 1997. Terry Funk is an all time great worker."

Doch zu NWA Zeiten war er ein sehr guter Wrestler, zusammen mit seinem Buder Dory. Im Alter von 45 Jahren merkte der Funker dass er den Stil von einst nicht mehr gehen konnte, und anstelle er es so tat wie die Meisten seiner Kollegen die in dem alter zurücktraten, erfand er sich einfach so nochmal neu und startete eine Hardcore Revolution, die in Japan begann und bis heute anhält. Hierfür verdient Terry meinen vollsten Respekt. Legende !"

Charaktere wie ihn gibt es nicht viele, gab es früher schon nicht und somit absolut aus der Masse hervorzuheben. Fürsorglich und aufopferungsvoll für seinen Sport und seine Kollegen, aber auch eigensinnig und speziell. Hier darf man Funk auch nicht verklären, denn seine späteren Aktivitäten im Hardcore-Bereich waren teils genial, teils aber auch eine Zumutung für seinen Körper und die Gesundheit seiner Gegner. Insgesamt aber ein Meilenstein in diesem Sport, ein großer Name und ein großer Mann."

[10.0] "Few wrestlers in the history of the industry have ever evolved as an in-ring performer like Terry Funk. Some might even say that Funk has 3 different primes, consisting of eras and certain years. His 1st prime was from his debut, up until his first retirement in 1981, he was a long-reigning NWA champion, well known for his strong technical wrestling, storytelling and brawling. He eventually returned, and dawned a more texas outlaw-like gimmick. It was during this time he became known for his strong promos, stronger storytelling, brawling and showmanship. At the age of 44/45 in 1989, Terry Funk was in the best shape of his career, and had easily 1 of the best years, in terms of promo and match quality of any wrestler ever. It was after this time that Terry began to evolve again, and reached another prime by 1997, at 52/53, this time he was a brawler, hardcore wrestler and even a high flyer! He worked in the sickest barbed wire match in ECW history while he was their world champion, and took part in Japanese Deathmatches were barbed wire and explosives were the norm. Throughout his career, Terry has wrestled in some of the best quality wrestling matches, the brutalist hardcore matches, cut some of the best promos, had the best title reigns, and trained some of the best wrestlers in the world from the 1980s onwards. There will only be one Terry Funk, and I hope that someday someone will come along with that kind of skill and charisma again."

Man denke hier einmal an das unglaublich brutale Barbed Wire Match gegen Sabu oder an das I Quit Match gegen Ric Flair. Abgesehen davon beherrscht er aber auch ein sehr großes Repertoire an technischen Aktionen, das er vor allem in der Frühphase seiner unglaublich langen und erfolgreichen Karriere zeigte. Er steht nun seit über 45 Jahren im Ring und weis immernoch abwechslungsreich zu unterhalten (etwas das z. B. Flair kaum noch kann). Der Funker prägt das Wrestling nun seit 5 Jahrzehnten und hat allein für seine große Anzahl an absoluten Matchklassikern nichts anderes als die 10 Punkte verdient."

Brutale Schlachten mit Abdullah The Butcher oder hochklassige Main Events mit Ric Flair, der Kerl hatte es einfach drauf. Mit seiner stets unberechenbaren Art immer unterhaltsam und als er dann auch noch anfing mit Cactus und Sabu Meilensteine im Hardcore-Wrestling abzuliefern (nicht zu vergessen seine blutige Fehde mit Eddie Gilbert), erreichte er selbst über diese nicht so hoch geachtete Sparte Legendenstatus.
