10 Times Wrestling And Animals Didn't Mix
2. Terry Funk Vs. A Horse
Randy Savage got bitten by a snake. Scott Steiner almost killed Rey Mysterio with a tiger. But these instances pale in comparison to the time a horse nearly killed Terry Funk on an episode of WCW Thunder.
The Funker was battling Chris Candido in a Street Fight that spilled over into a local stable. Candido beat Funk from pillar to post, throwing him into bales of hay, a bucket of water, and then into a paddock.
At this point, the match begins to resemble the main event of WrestleMania 31, only this time it's not Seth Rollins making the run-in - it's a p*ssed-off horse.
The wrestlers just happened to choose a paddock that had an actual horse in it, but this didn't get in the way of their match. Funk delivered a piledriver to Candido onto the floor of the enclosure, but in doing so he strayed too close to the stallion.
The poor horse was spooked and lashed out, landing a stiff blow to the side of Terry's body. Thankfully, the kick didn't strike him in the head, otherwise we could be looking back at this moment very differently.
Instead, this is another example of how mad Terry Funk is and how badass the man was and still is to this day.
