Top AEW Star Jon Moxley had a conversation with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated on a variety of topics such as WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk is the greatest of all time and the real deal.
Jon Moxley said:
“If Terry Funk’s not the greatest of all time, then who the f**k is?” “Terry Funk wasn’t playing a pro wrestler. He was the real thing.”
Jon Moxley also talked about how WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk can compete against any opponent in the world and cut an intense promo.
Jon Moxley said:
“You could put him anywhere in the world against any opponent.” “He’d cut an intense promo dripping with authenticity and then go work a killer match.”
Jon Moxley also talked about how Terry Funk would be in All Elite Wrestling and performing moves like the Canadian Destroyer if he was still wrestling today.
Jon Moxley said:
“We can learn a lot from Terry Funk.” “He was so giving. He chose to give back in ECW. And he wasn’t the type of guy who’d say the kids today couldn’t work. He was doing moonsaults in his 50s. If he were wrestling today, I fully believe he’d be in AEW and doing shows for Revolver or Bloodsport and doing Canadian Destroyers.”
Jon Moxley then talked about how different legends work different styles to be considered as the GOAT and Terry Funk is no different as for him Funk is the greatest of them all.
Jon Moxley said:
“There are so many different criteria that it’s impossible to pick the greatest ever.” “Look at Bret Hart and Ric Flair. They worked two completely different styles, and they were two completely different artists. It was like one guy played the trumpet and the other guy played a pair of bongos. They made different music. Terry Funk always gets passed over in that discussion. He was often the heel coming into a territory, putting over the babyface, and leaving to do something else. But look at the body of work. It’s pretty clear. You can’t tell me Terry Funk isn’t the f***ing greatest of them all.”
