Terry Funk with the NWA world heavyweight championship in the mid ‘70s. I have always been amazed at the Funker’s ability to reinvent himself for a new generation of wrestling fans; going from the clean-cut all-American babyface look to the grizzled gunslinger that he is today. Most wrestlers find their niche and stick with it for their entire career, but Terry Funk always managed to change with the times. How many modern fans even realize that he was the NWA world champion for two years back when it was the top title in all of professional wrestling? Happy 77th birthday, Terry!
