10 Wrestlers Legitimately More Unhinged Than Dean Ambrose

Wrestlers are notoriously tough, but there two schools in particular which command the most respect - the hard-travelling NWA champions who were expected to wrestle for an hour a night every night for years on end, and the garbage wrestling originators who lacerated their entire bodies with barbed wire.

Terry Funk graduated from both with distinction. When he was meant to be cycling down at the end of his career - he'd still renege on multiple retirement vows - Funk, knowing that he couldn't reach the technical heights he had as the king of the territorial system, decided to add more shortcuts to his act. For most, this would involve more elongated comeback spots or an increased reliance on taunts. For Funk, it involved getting exploded in the wacky world of FMW.

As crazy outside of the ring as he was in it, the behind the scenes stories surrounding the Funker are legion. The most famous of all saw him and Ric Flair get hammered and wrestle in Flair's backyard. This naturally led to Flair passing out in a pool of vomit, Funk stripping completely naked (which as we'll see is reliable red flag for craziness) and crawling towards the Flair family dog with a knife between his teeth.

Heaven knows what would have happened to the poor creature had Flair's wife not returned home at that very moment.
