What was the appeal?
>>20456795I like him because he reminds me of my dad
>>20456795Crazy old rednecks are based and kinoOh and he had some great punches too
>>20456795https://youtu.be/_Lh89cwkB4s?si=yUHAlKnL3utXyj6j
>>20456795T. Modern e-drones can't relate.
>>20457024Hey could you try remaking your post without console warring?
>>20456795the only man to debut out of a wooden box and not be immediately over
He's based, that's the appeal.>>20457047Danhausen was just booed out of the arena.
>>20456795>Effortlessly cool>Great wrestler>Adapts to every style>Can get a good match out of anyone>Iconic promos>Real life good guyUnironically, there's nothing to not like.
>>20456795He was based.
Tough as shoe leather, mean as a rattlesnake.Funk could do it all.
>>20456795He was everything awesome about a wrestler without all the gay shit. He was a real nigga and a one of the best to ever do it.
>>20457006Lawler was so good at selling.
lol @ this threadTerry Funk sucked
>>20456795if you actually want to understand that, you need to look around on youtube of whatever and find some of his old memphis promos. they were absolute fire, and funk was also the man who created the style we today call hardcore wrestling. when you start trying to trace the origins of that style, all roads lead back to terry funk. based af in the ring and out of the ring, thats the appeal.
>>20456795>Territory era legend.>Stiff striker in TEXAS>HELL Texan in Japan>Texas death Matches>Chainsaw Charlie>wrestled until he was 100>wrestled drunk as hell without missing a beat>taught tons of wrestlers including Mick Foley
>>20457043You can't relate
FOREVER
>>20456795Terry made you believe he was real. He'd put that sliver of doubt in your mind that made you feel what he was doing was legitimate. Everything he did was believable within the context of Terry Funk. He's kind of like a method actor that gets too deep into the role. "Well I know this is fake and the matches are predetermined, but did anyone tell Terry?"
>>20457006>>20458371you cannot have the perpetrator without the victim
>>20457231Terry FUNK headed out to the aftershow cookout
>>20456795old nutzoid shitter who's willing to harm himself to make a point
>>20456795I mean he was the greatest wrestler who ever lived, there's an appeal to that
>>20456795I did not care for the funkster kiss my ass so what
>>20459177>I mean he was the greatest wrestler who ever livedThis thread is about Terry Funk not Hulk "Undisputed GOAT" Hogan.
>>20459206Hogan is in my top 50, but he's not close to the consensus #1 as rated by human beings of a Caucasian persuasion
>Top 10 promo all time>Top 10 in-ring all time.>Top 10 longevity long time>Knew when his abilities were declining physically so he changes his style, becomes a hardcore guys, and revolutionizes hardcore wrestling with Onita and others>Never ripped anybody off>Respected by everybody in the business>Known as a shoot tough guy who was happy to fight anybody>could work top heel>could work top babyface>one of the most important traveling NWA champions of all time>one of the first big gaijin stars in japan>tried to work heel but was so popular in japan they made him a top babyface champion>mentor'd multiple Japanese legends>immortalized as Terryman in popular Japanese anime about wrestlingHis career is insane and nobody ever said the kind of shit that other people say about top guys
>>20459214You're just flat-out wrong about that.
>>20459756>mentor'd multiple Japanese legendsNot to mention pretty much the entirety of ECW. He even got Newjack to feel shame and apologize for fucking up his (first) retirement party. That might be his most legendary accomplishment.>I'M SORRY, TERRY FUNK>I AIN'T GON' SAY IT AGAIN>I'M SORRY
