WWE HOFer Terry Funk dead at 79 
Wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk has died, according to WWE legend Mick Foley on Wednesday.
Terry Funk is gone. I just talked to Terry’s daughter, Brandee, who gave me the awful news. He was my mentor, my idol, one of the closest friends. He was the greatest wrestler I ever saw.
