Bruce Prichard Opens Up About WWE Hall Of Famer Terry Funk

Bruce Prichard recently opened up about WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk on his podcast “Something to Wrestle.” It’s been just over a year since Terry Funk’s passing, and last month, his brother, 83-year-old Dory Funk Jr., wrestled in Japan to honor his memory. The match, a Double Hell Current Explosion Death Match, took place in FMW and featured Dory teaming up with Osamu Nishimura against Raijin Yaguchi and Atsushi Onita.

Prichard shared his thoughts on how Terry might have felt about the match, saying, “I’m sure Terry enjoyed it and appreciated it. Whenever you watch wrestling, you’ll see pieces of Terry Funk in there. His influence is everywhere—from his promos, his in-ring work, to his approach to wrestling psychology. Terry Funk was truly one of a kind and one of the greatest to ever wrestle.”

Prichard also recalled meeting Funk when he was 16 years old. Funk advised him against knee surgery, warning that it could affect his mobility forever. Over the years, Prichard and Funk maintained a professional relationship, and eventually, Funk and his wife, Vicki, made Prichard feel like part of their family.

Reflecting on Funk’s legacy, Prichard mentioned that Terry shared a lot in common with Bray Wyatt, who passed away the day after Funk. He believes both men left an indelible mark on the wrestling world that will be remembered for years to come.
