Top 50 Greatest Wrestling Heels of all time

21. Terry Funk

When a man doesn’t care what happens to his own body in the ring, imagine the level of concern he doesn’t have for yours.

Terry Funk went from being a great technical wrestler to hardcore legend, and lost a lot of blood along the way. He was dangerous, mean-spirited and did anything to punish his opponent.

For Funk, wrestling became less about wins and losses and more about pain. He enjoyed hurting people, and sacrificed his own body in order to make that happen.

Funk was a genius in the ring, a master technician who saw the business and its fans tastes changing. He capitalized on that, and became a star for a whole new generation. He also became one of the most hated.
