TERRY FUNK PASSES AWAY AT 79

Mick Foley announced the passing of the greatest professional wrestler who ever lived (in my opinion and in fact) Terry Funk at the age of 79 following a hard battle against Parkinson's Disease and dementia:

RIP TERRY FUNK

I’m struggling to process this — but Terry Funk is gone. I just talked to Terry’s daughter, Brandee, who gave me the awful news. He was my mentor, my idol, and one of my closest friends. He was the greatest wrestler I ever saw.

If you get the chance, look up a Terry Funk match or a Terry Funk promo, and give thanks that this incredible man gave so much, for so long, to so many. There will never be another like him. May God bless Terry, his friends, family and all who loved him. RIP my dear friend - it was an honor to know you. #RIPTerryFunk

I will be writing much more about Terry in the next few days.
