Great Stories and Straight Talk From a Legend

Terry Funk has risen in my estimation over the years to become my favorite wrestler all-time along with Roddy Piper. Funk holds the edge regarding in-ring performance while Piper holds the edge in promos. Both have participated in numerous outrageous antics that have kept me entertained for decades.

This book is a candid look at life as a professional wrestler. Funk doesn't refrain from revealing the less glamorous aspects of the business. Bad payoffs, long drives, and countless injuries are part of the game but it doesn't obscure his obvious reverence for his chosen profession.

Several parts of this book are laugh out loud funny. The stories contain lessons on life applicable to everyone.

Enjoyable listen

Terry tells a great story it’s honest and heartfelt. Appreciate him sharing his story. Thanks Terry

Terrific

This was a great listen. Terrific story that was fun and engaging. Funk U forever

Mr. Funk

I enjoyed it very much! I don't know what else to say. I'm not much for words when it comes to critiques..... it's either good, great, awesome, or it simply sucks. in this case, it's Good, Great, & Awesome!

RIP Mr. Funk

Very good book on wrestling and its history as wel

Great book on History of Funk and his family as well as the history of all genres of wrestling old & new.
Good narration, Funk is fantastic and his insights on different things in wrestling as well as his own experiences are great.

The funkers book is a good listen

Big wrestling fan from 1980 to about 2010. Loved this book! Loved hearing the stories from the road, the different territories, and just Terry’s opinions on it all. The narrator was very good. I would definitely recommend this book to wrestling and even non wrestling fans. Thx for the memories Terry

great book for wrestling fans

So much better than other books on the subject. This is the real story told by a real man. Not someone after the fame and the life style, someone who was brought up in it, who understands it for what it is. And who never lost sight of what matters. I had tremendous respect for Terry Funk before and I have even more for him now.

hardcore legend

a really good book for wrestling fans. terry worked for everybody, from nwa to wwf to japan to small promotions. he gives a lot of insight on the wrestling business and the story of his career.
