Seriously, why not?
He's on good terms with the company(at least good enough to have worked with them in the past).
He is a legend, and one of the most over starts from the NWA and ECW(and even had runs in WCW and WWF).
He has a legends deal.
Seriously, it seems like all the pieces are in place for one. I never had understood why there wasn't one. His comeback last year around ONS II would have been the perfect time.

I don't think a Terry Funk DVD would sell too well. That Familys of Wrestling DVD is probably the closet he'll get.

I'm not trying to disagree with you, because I am woefully unfamiliar with Funk's career, but what matches could be included? NWA title win "I Quit" match vs. Flair Funk vs. Sandman vs. Richards on ECW PPV ECW title win Chainsaw Charlie and the WWF I know there's a buncha stuff I'm missing. What else could go on it? |

What else could go on it? vs. Ric Flair from GAB 1989. Thats the match that pretty much made me a fan. Include a clip of funk piledriving flair through the tables which setup the match. I always loved that match way more then the i quit match and was bummed that it didnt make the ric flair dvd and the i quit match did. |

IF they got the rights to them (yeah, I know), his match seen in Japan (and on Beyond the Mat) with the "Forever! Forever!" promo. Also, his "retirement" match with Bret, refereed by you-know-who. Probably some of his 80s WWF stuff, maybe against JYD. Thing about Terry is that he's really, really, extremely touch-and-go with WWE. One minute, he's fine working with them, the next he has zero interest. |

I hope he gets inducted in the hall within the next few years(that'll probably get him a DVD).
And yeah, if they can get Japan matches for the Benoit DVD(no jokes please), then I don't see how Funk's would be a prob.

There's tons of matches for his DVD... all his death match stuff with Mick Foley (especially when he set Foley on fire) , his SNME match with Hogan, the JYD feud (although there were tons of racial overtones), the Flair feud, his ECW run, and who could forget his Halloween Havoc cage of terror match tagging with Muta vs Flair and Sting.....

I've been asking for a Funk set for a while. The man has had an amazing career and really deserves a career retrospective.

Terry's the one who's probably fighting the DVD deal, lol. He'll refuse to retire and be treated like he's old news.

i guess it would be a good set for them to finally use the Night the Line was Crossed main event on
was his NWA Title win over Jack Brisco even recorded or is that lost for the ages?
another match from the 70s with Dusty. they had a Barbed Wire Match in the 70s that was supposedly recorded. Terry and Dory vs Public Enemy Barbed Wire Match could work too.
Thunderdome might be a good addition.

They would just have to include his WrestleFest match against Bret Hart. I haven't seen it yet (I did order it a week ago... honest!), but how many times does the WWF champ wrestle outside of a WWF ring?
When they decide to put him into the Hall of Fame, then the DVD will come out.
... which will lead to him returning to the ring, of course.
Can't you just picture him taking that flamnig branding iron to Randy Orton?

Terry Funk for 08 Hall of Fame. Have Mick Foley induct him. His speech would be greater than the Iron Sheiks a few years ago.

If Funk pulled out the "Forever" line, that would be amazing.

Funk's a legend and all, but I'm not sure he's big enough with the common fan to really warrant getting his own "Best of..." but ya never know... would his time as WCW GM be included?  |
