There's no doubting Terry Funk's status as a bona fide legend of pro wrestling. A former NWA and ECW Heavyweight Champion, his career has spanned six decades and seen him wrestle thousands of matches. Even today he continues to wrestle well into his seventies, making Funk one of very few men that can boast matches in both 1965 and 2017.

With such longevity inside the squared circle, it's no surprise that 'The Funker' is a Hall of Famer. However, his Hall of Fame accolades mirror the decades he's performed in; Funk is actually a member of six internationally-recognised Halls of Fame.

Funk was first inducted into the WCW Hall of Fame in 1995, followed by the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame a year later. 2004 saw him inducted in the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame, while he was also given the nod for the Hardcore Hall of Fame in 2005. Perhaps most prestigious of all, 2009 saw Funk finally inducted into both the WWE and the NWA Hall of Fame, making him a legitimate six-time Hall of Famer.

In addition to those honours, he's also a member of the lesser-known Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame, Stampede Wrestling Hall of Fame, and St Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame. If there's a HoF, chances are that Funk is in it.
