“He called me about a year ago. This is before he got sick. I answered the phone, and I found my caller ID. I go, ‘what are you doing?’ He said, ‘I’ve been calling people all morning long. You’re the first one to answer the phone. Who is alive besides you and me?’ I said, ‘I think your brother’s alive, but you don’t see him very often’. The last three traveling world champions are me, Terry, and Dory.”

It’s good to know Funk’s doing much better than before! His wrestling career spanned over fifty years, and he even adopted a hardcore style of wrestling towards the latter half of his career.

Ric Flair and Terry Funk created history in 1989

Back in 1989, Funk and Flair feuded, and it ultimately led to an “I Quit” match. Right before Funk yelled out “I Quit”, he kept saying he doesn’t quit. But he did after Flair locked his legs and put him through excruciating pain. That match played a huge role in WWE’s history.

Moreover, Ric Flair referred to that moment when reports revealed Funk was admitted to a nursing home. He took to social media to remind Funk that he never quits.

It’s good to know that some WWE Legends have ensured to remain friends over the years and look out for each other even today!
