Idea for Terry Funk:
He comes out randomly to attack wrestlers, both in the ring, and backstage, even on the 'streets'
Have him do a gimmick where he is going senile, but still is ok physically. So he attacks people at random for no real reason, only to keep yelling out stuff that happened from his career, like if he came out to attack say, Mr. Kennedy during a Mr. Kennedy match, he would yell out crazy stuff that would make us think he is insane, like he would yell out 'I'm going to bleed you Dusty!! You bastard!! ' etc.. JR and King would sell this hard so the fans would understand the man has lost it.
Why would this work?
Terry is old, so he won't work a long match ( but I bet the man could go an hour still, he's crazy )
Terry likes blood
Terry yells good
Terry looks like a bum, old, senile, etc.
Terry is a brawler, so the random attack gimmick would fit
Have Terry collapse after the attack, either from the wrestler fighting back ( but stopping due to feeling badly for funk, the senile old man ) of from him hurting himself if he can't catch the intended victim, like a branding iron applied to himself.
Have him carried out on a strecher each week, but to spice it up have funk as he is being taken away make a face or gesture towards the camera that hints that he is just pretending to be crazed at random, thus the fans might catch on an wonder what he is up to.
This way the angle could be stopped if the fans don't catch on with the secret gestures, after having been roped in with the violent, bloody attacks by Funk at first. ( imagine JR and King saying sadly how far funk has fallen, how upsetting being senile is, etc then all of a sudden they see funk do the gesture or face, etc and they get shocked ) This can give time to develop a story as to why Funk is pretending to be senile, etc.
Any good?
Crap?
be honest

It's crap.
Sorry dude, it doesn't go anywhere and puts nobody over. Also, if he was pretending to be senile, why would he be making hand gestures/faces? What do you mean, makes a face? What sort of face indicates you're not senile?
I just feel like it pushes an old guy out of nowhere, and the whole gimmick is kind of embarrassing, really.

And I don't feel he's old school.
I feel it doesn't work for a different reason than you listed.

I have a gimmick for you, it's a Wrestlecrap poster that constantly makes ridiculous, crackpot posts. But what to call him/her? Gotta be some kind of animal, and magic is always cool. Maybe magicalporcupine? Nah, too out there and stupid. Oh well.

Terrible idea with no payoff? We'll probably see it soon.

Yeah, that was my problem. It goes nowhere and does nothing and embarrasses everyone involved.

To be honest, that sounds like an alzeimers gimmick, which would be true wrestlecrap Fixed. Step One: Push Terry Funk with Alzheimer's gimmick. Step Two: Put him together with a wrestler needing to get over. That wrestler was a huge fan of Funk's days with NWA, WCW, ECW, etc., and it saddens to see him acting like this. They form a sort of father-son relationship, which would get over with the crowd. Then the younger wrestler turns on Terry, giving him a good heel run. Step Three: Major Profit.
