6. Terry Funk
Prominent works: Road House, Over The Top, Timestalkers Terry Funk's wrestling career is a thing of legend. At the age of 69, Funk still competes intermittently to this date, having made his debut for the NWA in 1965! Inducted into numerous hall of fames, with thousands of matches under his belt and a multitude of championships, any fan worth their stock of professional wrestling knows the name Terry Funk. A much lesser known fact about Funk is that he, alike André and Piper, turned to mainstream acting towards the end of the 1980s, starring in the three films listed above, as well as making many appearances on US TV, including appearances on shows such as Quantum Leap, Thunder in Paradise and playing a regular role on the scarcely known Tequilla and Bonetti comedy cop show in 1992. Perhaps the most well known film that starred Terry Funk however was the 1999 documentary Beyond The Mat that a lot of wrestling fans will remember for the backstage coverage of The Rock and Mick Foley's I Quit Match at the 1999 Royal Rumble. Providing an enlightening (and sometimes harrowing) look into the life of a wrestler away from the screen, it's no coincidence that Funk's most relevant work, even away from the ring, revolved around professional wrestling.
