Terry Funk, one of the innovators of professional wrestling, died on Aug. 23 at the age of 79.
The WWE Hall of Famer came into the wrestling world in the mid-'60s aand continued some semblance of involvement in the industry for five decades. He held championships in multiple wrestling organizations including the WWF (now the WWE).
One of the original and most iconic "hardcore wrestlers," there was little Terry wouldn't try (no matter how dangerous). Because of his notoriety in the ring, Terry landed roles in some Hollywood films, too, starring in "Road House," "Over The Top" and "The Ringer," among others. He performed stunts in several of the "Rambo" films as well.
