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? Only if they include the match where the horse kicked his ass I would love to get a Terry Funk DVD since he's had huge careers in ECW, WCW, the NWA, WWF/E, etc. They could cherry pick through his career and get limitless amounts of great DVD combinations of matches and interviews. Though for sure, they'd need to get the Empty Arena match with Lawler (and especially the promo to go along with it), some of his Japanese work, various NWA matches, the Flair feud, and a whole lot of promos. I wanna see more of Funk

Would it be a "Documentary" ("Bret Hart", "Dusty Rhodes", 4 horsemen) or would it be just matches (Mysterio, Hogan, Flair anthology)?
If it was the doco, they should have Dennis Stamp talking about Terry. But instead of actually having the actual Dennis Stamp talking they should just show the clip of him saying "I'm not booked". And then, and only then, would i buy this dvd.

As important as the deathmatch stuff is, I seriously doubt that it would be included on a collection like this. The All Japan stuff... that's another story. His matches with Dory against The Sheik and Abdullah the Butcher (as well as Giant Baba and Jumbo Tsuruta) are absolutely tremendous.

I love this idea.
I don't think there is any recorded video of his NWA Title Win. I know they have stills, but that is all I have seen. I've seen stills from the ring after the match, Funk holding the belt and a beer in the locker room, etc. I would mark like a schoolgirl to see his win on video.
However, there are plenty of Funk matches for a DVD. How about 3 Discs?
Disc 1 - NWA Champion
NWA Title stuff Matches with Brisco Matches with Dusty Dory/Terry Match from Amarillo 1975
Disc 2 - Crazy and Dangerous
WWF Stuff (JYD, WM2 match, Hogan match SNME) Japan stuff WCW return (Flair matches, Muta/Funk tag match)
Disc 3 - The Hardcore Icon
ECW Chainsaw Charlie ONS Match

I don't think a Terry Funk DVD would sell too well. That Familys of Wrestling DVD is probably the closet he'll get. You're right; it definitely wouldn't do numbers like the Flair or Hart sets. The thing is that since WWE owns pretty much every North American pro wrestling tape library from the 20th century, it's disgustingly cheap for them to produce these things. Even if a Terry Funk collection didn't break 300K in sales, it would still turn a profit for them.

Nothing against a guy like Brian Pillman, but he is lesser known to the average fan of today than Funk. Like someone already mentioned, it's probably Funk who doesn't want the DVD, thinking that it would give the impression that he is ready to retire. If he and the WWE did come to terms on a DVD, it would be a very interesting thing to watch. A documentary on his life and career would be amazing, but there are literally four-decades of in-ring work to show. It would be cool to see some of Funk's non-hardcore matches, too.

I barely remember it but yeah at some point. I think he had a match against Nash at one point for it. WCW called it President, not GM though, I think. While we're talking about his late WCW run, include the Screaming Norman Smiley matches for the Hardcore Title. hell yeah!

I mean, a guy who is from a wrestling family and been in the business so long will have at least a semi-interesting documentary. Plus, he was in some of the biggest companies during their hottest times(NWA in the 70s/80s, WCW, ECW, WWF during the Attitude era).
