10 Unusual Demands Made By Wrestlers
1. Both Bret Hart & Terry Funk Are Too Pure
It's a sad reality, but it's the one in which we live: no wrestler you enjoy watching in character is above suspicion as either a real-life piece of sh*t or somebody who willingly associates with pieces of sh*t.
That's not to give up on moral standards altogether; it's just a fact. Some wrestlers don't deserve an ounce of your support as they try to sneak back into the industry. Others aren't worthy of blind hero worship.
Bret Hart and Terry Funk are two of the best and nicest to ever do it. Hart sh*gged around on his missus, but he's Helen Keller compared to the sh*theads he locked up with. Funk is the rarest of men: nobody has a bad word to say about him, and in a bid to make wrestling itself better, he did business and wrecked his body in the process in order to evolve with the times.
When they found themselves booked in what was a fraught match, politically, neither man backed down.
They both refused to win.
Bret didn't have to bump like a brat because Funk kiboshed the trilogy the day of. Funk didn't kick out at 3.1. Neither man wore a boo-boo face.
Bret wanted Funk to go over one last time in his retirement match, even if he knew it probably wasn't really the end. Funk refused; Hart was WWF Champion, and he respected the integrity of the belt.
