10 Amazing Terry Funk Promos You Must See

7. Terry Funk's Brokeback Mountain Adventure

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBWThOpiWpo It's not well-remembered, but Terry Funk had a short mid-80€™s run in the WWE. Terry had a couple matches with Hogan, teamed with his brother for a bit and then peaced out, which lead to the creation of the legendarily bad Jimmy Jack Funk. Terry was just a bad fit for cartoony 80's WWE. If you're wondering how Vince McMahon thought he was going to present a psychotic technical wrestling horse rancher to 7-year olds who love Brutus Beefcake, well, there's this promo. Terry€™s on a horse, yelling about how his neighbor keeps telling him about all the muscly guys in WWE, like Hogan, Ricky Steamboat, and Jimmy Snuka. Well, Funk says, his arms may not be as big as theirs, but there's something of his that's much, much bigger than theirs. It's his heart, he claims, but you can't tell me he wasn't trying to poke some fun at Vince McMahon€™s predilection for big, muscular oily guys. Especially when he starts yelling about how €œhot€ it gets him. Funkism: "I'm so hot, I'm . . . fusing!"
