WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk is reportedly suffering from dementia, according to a number of reports released this week as well as his personal Twitter account. Fellow WWE Hall of Famer Don Muraco stated during the latest episode of his Magnificent podcast that Funk is living in an assisted living facility in Amarillo, Texas, due to his condition.
Yes, Mr. Funk is currently receiving residential care for his multiple health issues, which do affect his mind as well as the rest of his body. As you can imagine, some days are better than others. He & his family appreciate all of your kind words!

Heartbreaking to hear Terry Funk is dealing with dementia. I see how horrible it can be on a daily basis, so it hurts knowing someone who’s given me so much entertainment over the years is going through that as well. My thoughts are with him and his family.
I know he’s not on Twitter and he’ll never see this, but I’m gonna’ tweet it out anyways and I hope some other people do, too:
We love you, Terry Funk! Thank you for everything!
The term “legend” gets thrown around a too much these days, but if he ain’t a legend - Nobody is! pic.twitter.com/JAXt3kFL6X

An all-time pro wrestling great, who did a good job cross-overing to movies. His longevity in the pro wrestling business is extraordinary. Many highlights, including a legendary feud with Dusty Rhodes in Florida.Hope the best for him, his family, friends & fans. #terryfunk https://t.co/JpHdEa5NB4
