Terry Funk Cussing Mad - Funny Interview at Empty Arena Match (4-6-81) Memphis Wrestling

[@kevinblanchard9064]

"Don't you realize there's nobody here? You jackass!!" Almost pissed my pants laughing at Funk when he said that

[@dustinbasham393]

I think Lawler had to fight not to have the same reaction

[@SpewChoob]

I could watch Terry and Lance all day.

[@Alexisahottie]

SpewChoob especially this clip lol

[@scooterdog29]

"I came here to prove some son-of-a-bitchin thing!" Ohhhhh my god, that's rich.

[@kevinblanchard9064]

I don't know who made me laugh harder Terry Funk, Jerry Lawler or Roddy Piper

[@nellbowie7986]

I love that someone had the uncensored version

[@RockandrollNegro]

Thank you Jim Cornette for rescuing the unedited master tape.

[@arkansoul]

The fact that Funk was left-handed made him even more legendary.

[@mcwhorter141mcwhorter8]

Lance and Terry had great chemistry together . It really kicked this whole thing off wonderfully.

[@ptothej100]

Funk is right there with Roddy Piper. Capable of acting completely nuts during promos. He is talented in every aspect of pro wrestling. Funk is a great worker, willing to sell, knowing when to come back, great brawler, creative in the ring and out. Like Piper, Funk is the kind of talent that you could build your entire promotion around. Entertaining on every level and can work with anyone and have a good match. Championship belts are not necessary for these guys to get over.

[@michaelrubin4832]

Ask joey styles he claims funk is truly nuts its not a character

[@battlestarmarc]

I agree 100 percent. Funk and piper were 2 of the best ever.

[@andrerichardson3150]

The one with Terry whipping a jobbers ass in Florida in a cage is a classic! Same funny crazy stuff he does here!

[@ren17x50]

Ken Walkup got whooped up

[@arkansoul]

Uncle Lance is the greatest wrestling announcer that EVER held a mic. The voice, the setups, the acts of disgust, the facial expressions, and the overall knowledge of wrestling and the wrestlers. Lance Lanier Russell.

[@kevinblanchard9064]

How he kept a straight face is amazing

[@4thandinches]

El Dee, IYHO, that is.

[@MattSingh1]

*Correction: Russell was second to Gene Okerlund*

​@@MattSingh1No way Okerlund is #1. #1 is and will ever be Gordon Solie.

[@tonyjones1560]

@@richardriegler71Growing up in Maryland, I’d never heard of Lance Russell before…that said, he played off with The Funker perfectly!

[@mcwhorter141mcwhorter8]

Lance was an amazing announcer and funk made this so believable ! Classic

[@SuperGuitarDude7]

He counted him out and he wasn't even there. That's brilliant!

[@MrAitraining]

This was SO great lol. Lance Russell was classic too! ".....Please watch your language"

[@andymassingham]

3:50 …Youuuu JACKASS! is perhaps the funniest moment in this. Perfectly timed and completely accurate.

[@GangstaMojo]

You couldn't do something like this with anybody else in my opinion Lance Russell was the perfect guy. I just love hockey responds to Terry funk...😂 He doesn't get too worked up because he knows Terry funk is a crazy person😂 just Lance Russell's responses makes this even crazier it makes it even funnier

[@rickjames2.0]

Terry Funk is the funniest heel ever!!!😂😂😂

[@countrybill45]

Pro wrestling at it's best right here, IMO. Terry Funk and Lance Russell in particular make this awesome.

[@progernelson1]

I saw this when it was originally aired in TN and it scared me. This is the real deal back when Rassin was an event. Now these WWE jokers talk for 30 minutes and fight for 3.

[@matdemaz]

Terry's character was so damn groundbreaking. He was a pioneer. All that attitude he had, others would copy it later on down the road. What a legend. Nothing but respect for his work.

[@Saber808]

Terry isn't a fucking character

[@giacomocivollani9050]

Terry scared the shit out of me when I was a kid

[@tonypastor705]

U can’t count him out if match hadn’t started yet!😅

[@SuperGuitarDude7]

I also love how he keeps poking the interviewer. It not only shows the crazy part of his character but it's pretty realistic when you think about it. If you're really pissed off with someone and you're talking to someone else about them, you get really animated and start raising your voice and get carried away.

[@donniedoesdishes]

this is back when wrestling was real

For Christ sakes Terry we can't use the thing if your swearing on it for crying out loud lol
