10 Amazing Terry Funk Promos You Must See

1. Funk, Funk, And Florida

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DXslrmzqq8 Years after his first foray into Florida, Terry returned with his Hank Hill-ass brother in tow. Both men were former NWA champions and consummate wrestlers, and wanted to express clearly to the competition that a Texas-style reign of terror was in store for the Sunshine State. To do this, Funk throws all of Florida's major stars, heel and face, under the proverbial bus. He offhandedly threatens to permanently disfigure Mike Rotunda, derides Blackjack Mulligan as washed-up, and hilariously dismisses Kevin Sullivan out of hand. Terry, in about four minutes, accomplished about all one could ask from a debuting heel promo. Aside from setting up potential feuds with the entire roster, he also alienated every Floridian ethnic group, save the Seminole nation, and established himself as a dangerous maniac immune to conventional weaponry. He then turns the mic over to Dory, who immediately kills their mystique by stumbling through a soft-spoken soliloquy about how he's going to wrestle really hard and defend his championship. Maybe next time lead with Dory, huh? Funkism: "He is nothing more than a chicken-plucking chicken!"
