I’m gonna be legit sad when Terry Funk passes away. He’s been my favorite pro wrestler since I was a youngster

[@mitchclement3773]

Mine as well.

Chainsaw Charlie king of hardcore next to Mick Foley and Sabu

He had one of if not the most unique styles of wrestling and talking.

I love when JR goes off topic and goes into almost a time machine in his life. This and Cornette are by far the best wrestling podcast going. Conrad is underrated and needs to be involved in wrestling someway.

"What is hardcore? Hardcore is not just being hardcore, hardcore is going in the ring and giving 100% of yourself. Hardcore is great fans." -Terry Funk

[@reallyretro]

This was a great episode on Terry Funk, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. You could tell JR truly loved Terry Funk.

[@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind]

He's still alive. Why the past tense? I'm sure he still loves the Funk

[@reallyretro]

@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind My bad, I meant "loves" LOL.

"Wrestling is scripted. Terry Funk is not."

[@snakeman6124]

Like Terry always said, "I cant make you believe wrestling is real, But i can make you believe i am real"

[@allamaraine8066]

One of the many reasons I love JR: when he says racism is bullshit, you can tell he's being sincere.

[@michealgiles]

A youngin' there with you JR! Happy Birthday Conrad. Many happy returns!

[@Collinzmusic]

GOOD GOD! TERRY FUNK!! YES!!

[@WJSMAIDEN89]

Has Conrad given a reason for skipping King of the Ring 2001? His announcements does not mention KOTR 01.

[@NIQUEROSS808]

That Funk/Foley Falls Count Anywhere match on RAW is one of my favorite matches along with the Funk/Flair GAB ‘89 match in my 35 yrs of being a wrestling fan

[@ryancotten942]

I graduated from WTAMU last December and I thought it was so cool for it to have that history. It’s located in Canyon, TX about 15 miles outside of Amarillo.

[@_sabathia_5929]

I’m amazed that terry and mick aren’t involved in development in Florida for wwe. There personality’s are perfect for teaching I think.

[@morningstar577]

Long live "Chainsaw Charlie" Terry Funk!!!

[@GoldenRetrievin]

As a 10 year old, seeing Funk piledrive Flair thru a table and bag him up was the most legit and terrifying thing I had seen in all my 10 years.

[@AWrestlingHistorian]

🎵Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? You've been out riding fences for so long now Oh, you're a hard one I know that you got your reasons These things that are pleasing you Can hurt you somehow Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She'll beat you if she's able You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet Now it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get Desperado...🎵

[@Bandana_Boi]

Only Vince would turn a legend like Terry Funk into Chainsaw Charlie. Vince McMahon, folks

[@davidgraham8299]

Wasn't Chainsaw Charlie Terry Funks own idea?

[@allamaraine8066]

I'd have made the man champion, if I was lucky enough to have him. Matches with Hansnen, Jumbo, Brody, Gordy, Lawler, Flair, Brisco, Foley, Punk, Sabu, Misawa and Kawada, Bret Hart... *NObody* else can say that. The man's a treasure, maybe the best to ever do it.

[@michaelhough4215]

Huge fan of the show!!! Love my pro wrestling of any kind!!

[@my-king]

"Lets talk about..." Love this Podcast but sick of these ads that sound like scams (Not saying they are, but damn they feel like it)

[@Zololololololotted]

Conrad makes me feel uncomfortable with his predatory loans. I hide my kids' eyes when he's on screen.

They forgot Terry Funks 1994 ECW world title reign at 50..

[@frankyturrizo4240]

Let's see how JR incorporates Cowboy and JYD lol.. im actually a big fan

[@armanirza]

Ya know the cowboy kept trying to replace jyd with other black baby faces. Thats racist but cowboy wasnt.... lol

[@craigsmith4760]

@@armanirza that's true and funny af, at least he was hiring black wrestlers at that time and not just making them heels,, cuz the few promotions that did hire black guys used them as heels,, and all the other promotions the only black wrestler they hired was dusty Rhodes

[@davidmatheny398]

Are they really not going into any of his ecw work? Terry won the their title in their 1st ppv and Shane Douglas that pile of tin and brought back the prestige of the nwa title like a 1994 reversal.

[@tomnagy3010]

At the end JR said Vince worked very hard at getting Lex over. Well Lex WAS over, and WWF screwed it all up by not having him win the title at SummerSlam. Vince has no one to blame but himself.

[@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind]

No, he wasn't. I was 8 and knew they were just trying to build him up like Hogan. He goes from being the Narcissist to quickly becoming "the #1 good guy" everyone should love and it sucked. He was alright, but definitely wasn't over the way he was being pushed.

[@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind]

@ShadowAngel No, he wasn't He wasn't drawing fans, he wasn't selling merchandise, and he wasn't a fan favorite. All you have to do is watch the Royal Rumble when both he and Hart fell out. The fans are loudly cheering that Hart was the wrestler they favored. You're wrong. You might of liked him, but was he 'over', no, not how he was pushed.

[@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind]

@ShadowAngel Whatever you say. He still wasn't over. It's clear as day

[@_sabathia_5929]

Terry held the nwa title when he went to Japan he could have simply just wrestled off his name but hardcore is where the payday was

[@danielshaltes911]

So do we think JR was being deliberately prescient with that Disney comparison or was it just a happy little accident?

[@joemixon834]

Whoooooorrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeessss

[@karlepaul6632]

I understand EVERYBODY knows wrestling is a work. And this podcast talks about everything and everyone in the business matter of factly. BUT the part when they're talking about Dory Funk Jr as champion, and how he could adapt and work with everyone, and then JR segways that into the AEW match-up of Omega vs Jungle Boy, and describes how Omega's job is going to be making Jungle Boy look good, to put the shine on him and whatnot.... C'mon, am I the only one who doesn't need the 100% behind the curtain, "this is pre-planned and what you can expect Omega to do" details? I'm not saying JR has to remain in character and kayfabe it and just stick with the storyline, but other than just saying who's in the match and when it's going to take place, don't chat up any of the preliminaries regarding it. Talk all of the ins and outs AFTER it takes place. Kinda sorta pretend there's still a touch of illusion to the whole thing. I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong. Definitely wouldn't be the first time. Other than that, I loved this podcast/video. Great job. And Terry Funk is just one of my all time faves so I'm gonna be a little biased.😉 Really though, great job guys!👍👍

[@Mr92094]

No one in modern wrestling keeps kayfabe anymore. Hell both promotions often break it on air. JR probably is too old to fight upstream on this

Have a close friend from vega,tx. he's close cousin to the funks. Says they are dicks to family. Idk, I'm not in that circle, but I find it Interesting he hates that part of the fam... Im personally a fan of Terry. I live in west tx and he's not a big deal(even 20 years ago)
