Mick Foley pays tribute to Terry Funk

WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley took to Facebook today to pay tribute to his friend and mentor Terry Funk. As previously noted, Dustin Rhodes asked fans for prayers as Funk has been dealing with severe pain in his hip. We send along best wishes to The Funker.

Foley posted the following:

“THINKING OF THE FUNKER

I need to give Terry Funk a phone call. From what I understand, he’s in some serious pain after a lifetime of giving his all to the wrestling business. His hip, in particular is giving him a lot of trouble. Terry is not only a great friend, but my mentor, and one of the biggest influences on my career. In my opinion, he is the greatest of all time, based not only on his amazing array of incredible matches with all different types of opponents over the course of several decades – but for his ability to make it SO easy to believe! No one made the suspension of disbelief easier than Terry Funk. Even in his 70s, he could enter a gymnasium full of fans – many years home had no idea who he was, and still fill the gymnasium with genuine concern over the well-being of the referee, timekeeper, and any wrestler who crossed his path.

When I’m on the road doing my one-man shows, my favorite stories revolve around Terry Funk. If you have some positive energy or a prayer to spare, but I think Terry would appreciate them.”
