Everything about Terry Funk just makes me wonder why more old figureheads from bygone eras aren't as down to earth and understanding as much as him.
Like everything about him, he never shat on the current product, he never called for all this flashy shit to be stopped, he started doing a moonsault in his 50's for god sake!
Back in the day of the 1980's joshi's movement he always gave credit to it calling it the future, so much so that other wrestlers made fun of him for watching it.
He accepted and cherished hardcore ECW wrestling, he's always ahead of the time, not to make this a pro aew thing, but even just in recent years, stuff like "AEW is going to do something special" even then he knew what the fuck he was talking about.
He's just one of the best of all time, straight up, up there with your Ric Flairs and Bret Hart's, he's amazing and will be sorely missed.
FOREVER, FOREVER, FOREVER.

what your favorite wrestling company says about you
wwe: you think all wrestling is the wwe. either that or you are below the age of 12
aew: you're queer and/or British. you have a rant about cm punk in your drafts somewhere
impact wrestling/tna: you miss when they had the six sided ring and when they were on a network people actually watched. you despise vince russo with a passion
new japan pro wrestling: you have torrents of every tokyo dome show and at least 5 different Bullet Club shirts. you may have wept tears of joy when the first forbidden door was announced
ring of honor: you always like to remind people that this was where every great american pro wrestler of the 21st century got their start. for you seth rollins will always be tyler black. you kind of resent that they spent the 2010s being new japan's bitch before becoming AEW's bitch
aaa: you really miss lucha underground
cmll: you actually are really into lucha libre and hate that nobody talks about the oldest company devoted to it
chikara: you think wrestling should lean into the fakeness more. the slow motion match always makes you laugh. you will never forgive mike quackenbush for what he did.
combat zone/game changer: you like to watch people bleed. you downloaded cameo just so you can pay nick gage's rent. he's been through a lot, he needs it.
ddt: like the chikara fans but without the resentment of the company founder's horrible actions.
pro wrestling noah: every time someone mentions wrestling, you always bring up that kenta kobashi did the Go To Sleep first.
all japan pro wrestling: whenever you talk about wrestling, you always have to preface with "yes, all japan still exists!" you miss fighting opera hustle.
wcw: you hate vince russo even more than the impact wrestling fan.
ecw: you are 30 or 40 years old and get misty eyed whenever you hear "enter sandman".
nwa: you're either really into wrestling history or you're a smashing pumpkins fan who just found out billy corgan owns a wrestling company. you wish nick aldis got the championship instead of fox news pundit tyrus
mlw: you are jim cornette.
global force wrestling/xwf/control your narrative/wrestling society x/heroes of wrestling: your favorite website is the lost media wiki
