Wrestling icon and WWE Hall of Famer, Terry Funk, dies at 79

WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk passes at 79. Pioneering wrestler, actor, and mentor, remembered for exceptional contributions to wrestling.

Terry Funk, a revered figure in the world of professional wrestling and a WWE Hall of Famer, has passed away at the age of 79. With a career spanning an impressive five decades, from 1965 to 2017, Funk’s contributions to the wrestling industry were nothing short of pioneering and exceptional. He was recognized for his distinct hardcore style, charismatic presence, and unwavering passion for the sport.

Funk’s legacy is defined by an array of accomplishments, including his numerous championship wins. These victories encompassed prestigious titles like the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, and the WWF Tag Team Championship. However, his impact extended beyond championships, as he engaged in unforgettable rivalries and matches against wrestling icons such as Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Mick Foley, and Bret Hart.

Beyond the squared circle, Funk explored other facets of entertainment. He ventured into acting and left his mark on Hollywood, appearing in notable films like “Roadhouse” alongside Patrick Swayze and “Over the Top” with Sylvester Stallone. His talent wasn’t confined to the big screen, as he made appearances in television shows like “Quantum Leap” and “Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction.”

The wrestling community and fans mourned the loss of this legend, expressing their tributes and gratitude on social media platforms. Mick Foley, a fellow wrestling icon, spoke highly of Funk as a mentor, idol, and dear friend. Funk’s contributions to wrestling have left an indelible mark, and his legacy will be cherished for generations to come. His induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2009 and recognition by the International Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2021 stand as testaments to his enduring impact on the sport.
