AEW star Dustin Rhodes inadvertently sent the pro wrestling world into a panic over the weekend when he asked wrestling fans to pray for WWE Hall of Famer and iconic wrestler Terry Funk. Rhodes wrote on Sunday, “Just got off the phone with Terry Funk. He is in a lot of pain and could use some prayers. One of the greatest #TrueLegends to ever be in the ting. Appreciate y’all.” Fans immediately assumed Funk was dealing with some sort of medical issue given his age (76), the length of his career (50+ years with short retirements sprinkled throughout) and his hardcore wrestling style.
I’m wishing my friend and mentor, Terry Funk the very best as he deals with some serious pain issues. The Funker’s hip is giving him a lot of trouble.
No one sacrificed more for the fans than Terry Funk - the GOAT in my opinion, because he made it SO easy to believe. pic.twitter.com/wX0FobyGWQ
