Terry Funk

Real name: Terrence Funk

Home: Amarillo, TX

Membership: Funk Brothers, J-Tex Corporation, Stud Stable, Funk Masters of Wrestling, Millionare's Club, Old Age Outlaws, partners with Mick Foley, Ricky Romero

A.K.A.: Black Baron, the Texan, Chainsaw Charlie

Finisher: Piledriver

Background: You can say many things about Terry Funk, but he above all he was one tough SOB.

Of course, when your old man is Doss Funk there is a certain level of toughness to be expected. Chuck Norris Facts? Terry lived them all. 

Terry, after beaten the ass of nearly everyone from Lubbock to Miami, set his sights up North and even gave Hulk Hogan a run for his money, threatening to brand the hero with the Double Cross Ranch brand. When he came up short, he called his brothers up but that ended poorly. Terry eventually left for the south and all points east, making a name for himself in Japan.

He also retires every other year, but when you've beaten over the head with as many light tubes as he has, you can do what you damn well want.
