>Terry Funk is the greatest, he had it all. The look, the mic skills and great in ring work that spanned decadesOk name one great match that wasn’t him being carried by prime Flair>ummmm…How about a promo?>uhhhhh…. How many arenas did he sell out?>uhhh I’m not sure he probably was a draw cause the other smarks seem to like him?
Yea true. It wasnt like he was massively over in japan where flair didnt wrestle.
>>20549819>Ok name one great match that wasn’t him being carried by prime Flairthe matches where he got carried by prime Lawler
>>20549826>japan where flair didnt wrestlesee no Flair, me no care
>Ok name one great match that wasn’t him being carried by prime FlairLawler v Funk>How about a promo?His promo on Lawler for said match. All of his ECW stuff was good too>How many arenas did he sell out?Bunch of japanese shows, lots of venues during the territory days. no one would argue hes a hulk hogan esque national figure because that market didn't even really exist when he was active as a top guy. threads like these are so odd. if you want to shit on terry focus on his hardcore crap and some of his goofy sullivan shit with wcw his bad ideas from wwf like chainsaw charlie
>>20549826Flair did wrestle in Japan
>>20549819I see a sissyanybody familiar with the guy can list you great matches, great promos, great sell outs, as a face and a heel, in the north, the south and the east, from the 70s and 80s but I'm just gonna humor you a little because fuck you>The night the line was crossed>The conference with Shane Douglas afterwards>The ECW arena more than 40 years of being a draw, Terry Funk made business longer than you've been alive you can rectify that by killing yourself
>>20549819>Ok name one great match that wasn’t him being carried by prime Flair>>Against Steamboat, Race, Tsuruta, Lawler, Hansen, etc>How about a promo?His promo in the empty arena cage >How many arenas did he sell out?The Nippon Budokan in All Japan, the Funks were draws as foreigners.
>>20549819every promo he did in memphis was fire, and as for his matches he literally invented hardcore wrestling. you want to talk about great funk matches that didnt involve flair? ok how bout the empty arena match with lawler, his classic match with onita, his many amazing matches with sabu in numerous promotions, or any of his matches with foley. I could literally find good terry funk matches all day, dont pay attention to what those smark faggots on twitter say. terry funk was a crazy redneck who gave no fucks, and all those IWC smarks would hate him if they had actually met him.
>>20549819Flair fucking sucks, never drew a dime, and killed the myth of the travelling world champion because of how much of a shitter he was. The NWA died under his reign btw. Also Dory Jr. was always better than Terry
>>20549881give it a rest Ole
Funk, Hogan, Fujinami, Austin and Misawa are the greatest ever though
The vast majority of funks career is lost. There are like 2 matches from Amarillo on film with no audio. The fact we have so much great footage from the 80s and 90s is astonishing.
>>20549819He cut some good promos in wcw.
>>20549819I understand your motives op but Funk was great,maybe not the greatest but certainly top 10THAT BROKEN UP PHONEY BITCH FOLEY ON THE OTHER HANDHardcore legend my assHis daughter his closer to being a hardcore legend than he ever was and Im not talking about wrestling
>>20550617How can you say Mick is not a hardcore legend? Just because he's a huge faggot and he and his wife raised two losers, that doesn't invalidate his work. He was using fire and in ECW and in Japan and the Cactus Jack character was such a madman gimmick
>>20550796And sabu was stapling 2x4 to his cock and did moonsaults off the top rope to get extra force when they hit taz on his oily wop headFoley was an insufferable promo with his cadence and constant underdog bullshitHe made daffney do retarded shit for no reason and helped her kill herselfHe got as big as he did cause he was in wwe at the hottest period in historyPut him in ruthless agression before benoit and he jobs to stevie and goldust on heatFoley is the worst of well known ecw hardcore guys Sabu mogs him in promo,presentation,ability,durability and longevity and comparing him to Funkster is a fucking insult to that crazy old fool
>>20549819After Meltzer got dementia, all the Twitter smarks started droning their opinions from ProWrestlingOnly instead, now antismark retards have to post tryhard bait like "erm funk/lawler/bockwinkel etc were actually le bad" because shitting on Kenny Omega etc in 2026 just causes smarks to be like "yeah he's kinda overrated I agree"
>>20551862I sadly have no idea how was big bockwinkels run but lawler is probably the guy who did everything wwf started doing during rock and wrestling but 2 to5 years earlierFact that memphis is mostly lost media is genuinely sadLawler has to be the most underrated booker and wrestler everI hope we get to see wwe unearth everything memphis related and lawler will be still alive to bask in spotlightAnd that he confirms that jontron is his clone
>>20551742uhhhh bro im a huge sabu fan, but sabu didnt mog anyone on promos because he didnt talk
>>20549819>How about a promo?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL_mm7_D1wMWe found the brown edrone zoomer.
>"people" (amerigroids) criticize Folly>turns out their criticisms are phony and their dislike for him is politically motivated, because hes not a pedo supporterevery time
>>20553083but enough about limeys and their chronic hatred of the hulkster lol
>>20549856This guy with his correct takes.
>>20552773>hope we get to see wwe unearth everything memphis relatedI'm pretty sure Cornette has literally everything available from that era in his attic. Most of the footage is lost because they would tape over other shows unless it was an important segment or a big show at the Colliseum Also I was actually looking into this subject rhe past few days and came across this channel that has potato quality footage of 1970-78 Memphis and Louisville (even some going back to the 60s) stuff that is usually presumed lost. It's really cool to see because that era and territory has so much mystique about it and then you get ahold of a rare match and it really was as good as the boomers like Cornette sayHere is Lawler's return entrance after his leg injury almost a year prior. That pop is insane. No one will ever be as over as he washttps://youtu.be/PiNg5otcSLQ?si=rOm_iV-yeRzYLGII
>>20553550Oh and this is the channel I was referring to with all the early-mid 70s Memphis stuff. Was surprised to see a few Roughhouse matcheshttps://youtube.com/@ednabrown1267?si=LC35EW9ayKYZoA5m
>>20553550Rape and sodomy charges aside the fucker could sure work a match, when the straps come off you know shit's going down
>>20549819https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkWLw5M3jkw
>>20549819for me it's chainsaw charlie
Terry Funk vs Bret Hart is better than Bret vs Ric Flair and Bret vs Jerry Lawler
>>20553632https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQthf3sv61Y&Lawler's voice at the beginning. 1972 Knoxville according to comments
>>20554413Oops wrong link, but that's related.Here for 1972 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbBZR3iCNqU
>>20554432Lawler is the best to ever do it
>NWA champ for 424 days.
>>20549819He's the GOAT stfu (I've never seen a Funk match if it matters)
>>20552773Memphis wrestling is actually public domain so sadly it’s the worst preserved. Fun fact the highspots guys paid someone who said they owned the rights to Memphis wrestling and put out some decent comps despite being hilariously scammed.
