@onthisdayinwwe: “This was the only time I worked with him. Terry Funk was a genius, a fucking genius. I already knew that, but I saw it firsthand that night" Jon Moxley shared with Justin Barrasso the brilliant story about his promo to build up interest in his WrestleMania match against Brock Lesnar: “It’s insulting that we asked Terry Funk to memorise lines. It’s Terry Funk. But he found a way to do it his way “The new plan was that I talked, then Terry would have his [one] line, then I’d take it home “So I say my first piece. Then Terry is up, and he starts going off “He cut this fucking awesome, insane, fucking classic Terry Funk spiel: ‘This kid, he’s the best in the country!’ I loved that he said country, which was such an old school line “He was incredible. It took a second to see this wasn’t a sad old man with no confidence, it was Terry Funk “What we filmed wasn’t from the script, so the writer in charge wanted to do it again. I was like, ‘Fuck this, we just got a Terry Funk classic. We’re not doing it again. If Vince is upset about it, I’ll talk to him myself’ “So the writers agreed, and I was pumped. We got a classic piece of Terry Funk in the flesh “Afterward, I spoke with Terry. ‘They think I’m just some crazy old man,’ he told me “He was smiling about it when he said, ‘I’m not going to remember all that shit they wanted me to say. Wasn’t it better this way?’” 📰Sports Illustrated #OnThisDayInWWE
