Terry Funk

Terry Funk was born on Jun 30, 1944 in USA. Terry Funk's big-screen debut came with Paradise Alley directed by Sylvester Stallone in 1978, strarring Frankie the Thumper. Terry Funk is known for The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania directed by Kevin Dunn, Mark Calaway stars as The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels as Shawn Michaels. The upcoming new movie Terry Funk plays is The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania which will be released on Apr 05, 2009.

Funk has strong wrestling bloodlines. His dad, Dory Funk Sr., was a well-known grappler from the 1940s to the 1970s, and his brother, Dory Funk Jr., wrestled from 1963 until the early 90s, and won the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) world heavyweight championship in 1969. Funk, himself, became NWA champion and thus the Funks have the distinction of being the only brothers to win the NWA championship. Funk made his film debut as (what else?) a wrestler in Sylvester Stallone's (a noted wrestling fan) movie La taverne de l'enfer (1978). Funk then did double-duty as a pro wrestler and actor/stunt man (he was prominent in Patrick Swayze's movie, Road House (1989)). Not technically a great wrestler, Funk was more known for his brawling tactics, and had some great feuds during his career with "Handsome" Harley Race, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and others. After maintaining a low profile in wrestling, Funk resurfaced in the 90s in the new Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) series and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), this time in his new persona as "Chainsaw Charlie".
