The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Terry Funk
- My first match was against Sputnik Monroe at the Amarillo Sports Arena. It was scheduled for only ten minutes. Sputnik got me down and was on top of me for the first eight minutes. My father came running down to the ring and yelled for me to get up. I don’t know how I got up but I did. I was a lot more scared of my father than I was Sputnik.
- I simply could not have done as well in either football or wrestling if I had not taken Energol.
- I still recall the first time I laid eyes on Ric. Dusty Rhodes and Dick Murdoch were wrestling, at the time, in Minnesota, and they took a liking to this kid who’d been hanging around the matches. That kid was Ric Flair, and they brought him to my ranch in Amarillo, Texas.
- I have an abdominal hernia which I tore and had operated on, and it’s not the easiest thing in the world to get over. I’m gonna go on down the road, but hopefully I can get over the damn thing.
- In all my years I don’t think I’ve ever said anything nice about Dusty Rhodes to any member of the media.
- The truth of the matter is that Dusty Rhodes helped put more money in my pocket than anybody I’ve ever wrestled. In his time he was the most charismatic and talented performer in the business, and I know he doesn’t look like it, but he was a pretty good athlete too.
- I’ve got a thick skull and big, thick bones that don’t break apart easily.
- Wrestling is all about the power of the individual.
- I think CM Punk is a hell of an in-ring performer.
- I don’t want to wrestle past 35. There’s just too much physical strain with 250-pound men slamming into each other.
