Terry Funk finds a sissy (Part 1)

[Rayla840]

Terry Funk is ageless, priceless, and golden in every sense. Best ever!!!!

[Phished123]

I'll tell you sumpin!

[ajb0215]

Hey, it's Jimmy Jack Funk!

[senseisakornsin]

I love the good old days of NWA, pre-WCW wrestling!

[CLewey44]

Lawler looks like a car or insurance salesman instead of a wrestler.

[arkansoul]

We loved it whenever Terry Funk came to Memphis back in these days...

[KissMeImPunk]

Sabu? Is he talking about the homicidal, suicidal, genocidal, death-defying Sabu!?

[mamacornettesmoney]

@KissMeImPunk No, this "Sabu" was Coco Samoa.

[kawadamark]

damn, Lance Russell and Terry Funk are fucking great in this thing.

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Classic old school wrestling. Now, this is how it's done, kiddies.

[xcellken1]

Patrick Swayze thought that Funk was a sissy for doing the job in Roadhouse!

[bonsaiisuperstar]

I'm confused. At 1:50 he states that SABU is a wildman. Was there another Sabu? I don't think Sabu was wrestling in 83 was he??

[NAYellowjackets]

@bonsaiisuperstar I think it was guy named Coco Somoa

[jaepejaepe]

@bonsaiisuperstar Sabo of the Samoans.... That was the first or "original Sab."

[steveislove]

brown sugar talks too much

[steveislove]

thats what an interview is Vince, not that BS on WWE now

[ZenPimps]

Jesse Barr aka Jimmy Jack Funk

[limpdog20]

Like David Otunga that guy cannot cut a promo to save his life.

[xcellken1]

David Letterman and Andy Kaufmann think that Lawler is a sissy

[pwgroh]

haha, king should use that as his catchphrase "he's semi retarded anyway"

[totatooru824]

Terry is still young！(〃▽〃)

[mark4202010]

these were classic times for wrestling wish they would come back

[Lillian2167]

that was awesome!! :D

[lvw100]

The match on here has Terry Funk on on team and the future Jimmy Jack Funk(Jesse Barr) on the other team.

[daPlumber702]

Did Jerry just say Sabu (o.O) wtf moment right there.  1:53

[mabood1212]

Brown Sugar really carried that interview - what a contribution!!!! lol

[bobolob]

Jim Cornette hasn't changed, Terry Funk is still as nuts as ever. Some things are better left untouched :)

[user60035839]

9:23  You're a sissy, Lance!

[gmta28]

Is that Koko B. Ware?

[PrimetimeD]

@gmta28 That is correct.

[killerdugong]

@gmta28 yes.

[gummoboy333]

vintage, i was born this year lol, 26 years ago

[Estolcles]

Anyone notice the reference to early India actor Sabu?

Kinda prophetic, no?

[Sargebri]

Of course, Jesse Barr would later go on to wear a Lone Ranger mask and become Jimmy Jack Funk a few years later. That was mainly due to the knee injury Terry suffered at Wrestlemania II during the match he and Dory (Hoss) had against the Junkyard Dog and Tito Santana.

[drunkensailor112]

lol@ jim cornette's face at 5:51 he's seriously scared out of his mind for terry catching him

[bdmpd]

@drunkensailor112 I doubt it. Terry is old white trash and not the brightest

[drunkensailor112]

these are real money interviews. these days wwe guys are just shouting cliches into a mic. they don't understand the psychology of selling each other on a mic by ripping into each others but in a way that even people at home will say. wtf he has to be bothered with that!

[ilovestinalots]

i fuckin hate southern accents. it makes people sound retarded

[MrBiscuit77]

Cause your a yankee, an egg suckin dog yankee...probably crooked from Jersey like your nose

[mrl6875]

Terry Funk is just unmistakable. He is the man when it comes to good promos. Him and Flair jack

[stomp919]

Dont forget Dick Murdoch bro!

[THRILLAKILLA187]

@stomp919 AMEN!

[stomp919]

@THRILLAKILLA187 Check out "Dick Murdoch promo #5" on youtube.You will laugh your ass off!!! It was from the great wrestling show Wrestling at the Chase on KPLR TV 11 in St. Louis. I watched it every sunday in the 70s and early 80s. They had Harley Race, Von Erichs, King Kong Brody, Ric Flair, Abdullah the Butcher, Dick the Bruiser etc.

[BaronVonGodzilla]

Terry is drunk as shit in this promo.

Same with Jake the Snake, their promos are really killer after they have had a few drinks.

[mrtrin]

This is kinda foulmouthed for 83 isn't it?

Or did I just grow up watching too much wwf rock n wrestlin as a kid?

Who's brown sugar?

There's never been but so many black wrestlers at any given time, and I've never heard of him.

[DoktorSick]

sweet brown sugar aka KOKO B WARE

[mrtrin]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

I couldn't tell without the gawdy neon colors and high top fade.

I lose cool points for not seein that.

:-\

[digital2500]

Sweet Brown Sugar was not Koko. He was a wrestler named Skip Young.

[arielcardona]

There were two Sweet Brown Sugars: Skip Young and Koko B. Ware.

[oldirtydoggie]

he done got him one

[styx38632]

My mistake, it was SBS who threw the guy in the ringpost.

[styx38632]

Look at the lady in the crowd

(7:47) cover her face when Funk slams the guy in the ringpost.

[ricwcwflair]

its a vintege Funk U promo "lol"

[bluemanwolf]

this is a classic with two of the best wrestlers ever but yet the best ever is still Ric Flair.They all have heart in this sport and John Cena is another that has heart in this spectacular entertaining sport...

[THRILLAKILLA187]

how dare you compare John Cena with these GREATNESS he can't EVER FILL THEIR SHOES!!!

[DAMNMorpheus]

Yes, he can. In 10 years you can compare John Cena's Chain Gang with Hulk Hogan's Hulkamaniacs, and say "wow he really is that big."

[THRILLAKILLA187]

not in my eyes yeah sure the gimmicks fits but when he gets their age is he still gunna be doing the wanna be wigger gimmick lol and NO I'm NOT RACIST!!!! he needs a better gimmick soon cuz reality gunna hit and that's not gunna click with his age and the fans lol!!!

[jaepejaepe]

@THRILLAKILLA187 Cena wouldn't have survived in the business that long during this time, He probably woulda quit. It's an embarassment to evem mention him in the same breath of 80's pro wrestlers.

[THRILLAKILLA187]

@jaepejaepe I have to agree with you on that but I'm just saying he has the heart and Charisma for the business but I hate the Gimmick thou!

[silverbeast75]

finaly ur right man cena does has heart

[funk24]

You're right..Lance Russell is one of the Top 5 Announcers of All Time and Terry Funk is one of the Top 5 Wrestlers of All Time!!! How can you not like The Hardcore Legend!?

[mymack9nozzle]

OMG That was hilarious , Jerry was part of the best angles in history the WWE is missing out somewere

[joeymcnew]

Great Memphis Classics

[deanw0rmer]

lmao this is awesome

[MIKEH75]

one of the best interviews ever,a lot of great ideas came from the mid south including a lot wrestlers that vince mcmahon paid to come over to the WWF.

[kardonpr]

You know what's funny? Funk said he almost kill a man for calling him "yellow." Where does Funk hail from? Amarillo, Texas. And what does Amarillo mean in English? YELLOW! Maybe the guy was reminding Terry of his hometown.

[xcellken1]

@kardonpr Maybe Terry Funk doesn't habla espanol?

[allcrawl]

If only the promos today were as good

[roncarl9]

3:10- 3:14 lance russell looks like " what the hell is wrong with you" lol

[kirkwanglers32]

Trash talk for the Tv.

[geodeuce]

Interesting that Jesse Barr became Jimmy Jack Funk!

[misterio2K]

Funk's dialog is so damn funny. He got me laughing to tears.

I love it when Terry Funk used to goe around calling people egg sucking dogs.

[pubertal]

Who is "Sabu" that Lawler is nameing in 1.53?

[tiffanyminx]

SABU THE WILDMAN from Mid South was better known as COCO SAMOA.

[KevinTheReaper]

Hell yeah, Terry Funk crackin' skulls. I love seeing some old favorites.

[skinwalkerxxx]

hahahahaha!

[raf6066merc]

Lawler mentions Sabu. I've read old wrestling mags that advertised videos with a "Sabu" but I don't believe it was Terry Brunk(newphew of the Sheik). I think there was another Sabu around back then. If anyone used to watch Memphis wrestling back then and has more info please let me know.

[Maximicus]

Yeah, the vid says 83, but Sabu (Terry Brunk) Debuted in 85. Funny that this other Sabu would also be known as a "Wildman"

[tleatherland]

Man, I miss those days. Great memories!

[terjer01]

Is that Lance Russell's nose or is he eating a banana? Hahahahaha How many polyesters were killed to make Lance Russell's suit? Hahahahaha Gotta love Dave Brown in the background just sitting there! :)

[hairbandfan]

You jackass Lance Russell is top five announcers ever! This guy was in Memphis and all over the southeast for 12,000 matches and you are making fun of his nose go screw yourself. Lance is a all time legend.

[rolochoshu]

Relax, he's just using Lawler's old lines.

[hairbandfan]

Ok no problem my bad sorry.

[kingdomoftheworm]

Jimmy Hart even wrote a song about Lance Russell's nose.

[sirtony47]

is that sweet brown sugar

[kingdomoftheworm]

AKA Koko B. Ware.

[chuckgan]

Sweet Brown Sugar was Skip Young. Stagger lee was Koko's other name.

[arielcardona]

Koko Ware DID use the Sweet Brown Sugar nick. And this one IS Koko, not Skip. Skip was thinner.

[jjoseph16]

man this is awesome

[ironsheik7]

man thatd be cool to have the entire hour and a half programs of all the old wrestling

[tullybl]

Jesse Barr was later known as Jimmy Jack Funk.

[timg138]

I never thought Cornette could get any squeakier... Great post!

[ngmm]

Classic true classic!

[Nocholas4sale]

i messed up. i thought that was regel. my bad
