In these moments it's always heartwarming to see the outpouring of love but at the same time heartbreaking as to why it's happening.

The wrestling world lost two of the most creative, innovate and talented individuals just a day apart from each other.
I can wholeheartedly say that without these two, I would not have the connection with pro wrestling that I do now.
RIP to Terry Funk
RIP to Bray Wyatt.
Your influence on the wrestling world will continue to be felt for decades to come 🖤 🕊️

“I’m sitting there after hernia surgery, watching Dynamite on one of the fucking Turner stations, and I hear the blasphemy coming out of Excalibur and Schiavone’s mouth about Bryan Danielson being the GOAT. I said, ‘Absolutely not, I can’t let this go.’ I got a group chat with the guys, so I go, ‘Hey fuckos, it’s Terry Funk, the greatest of all time.’“ — Eddie Kingston on What Happened When

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.
