Terry Funk was at an ECW reunion show, over the weekend, and reportedly not in good health. Yet he still came to the ring and addressed the fans with a very somber (and brief) speech. [doHTML]<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RVj7h68sErE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>[/doHTML] Doctors told him he shouldn't travel, but he did, anyways. Sure, he's "retired" before, but it sounds like this may be the end for him. Hopefully he's "just" sick and nothing terminal. Hope he'll shut it down, so to speak, and take it easy at home. EDIT: They hang banners from the rafters at the "ECW Arena"?! |

I forgot what type it was, but Funk had surgery on Monday and was instructed not to do much of anything for 2 weeks, so naturally he travels halfway across the country so not to miss a booking. If you're a 30-something year old defying doctors orders, OK, you're a little stupid, but maybe you'll fight through the pain. When you're a senior citizen with a significant list of injuries and surgeries in your life, this is absolutely senseless to risk further damage to your body, no matter how much you want to address the fans who paid to see you. |

I'm a big Terry Funk fan but I hope this is the true end to his wrestling career. It's not worth it anymore to go out there and risk any further injury especially at 72 years old. All the best to him. Hopefully he can enjoy his remaining years. |
