Loss Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 Terry Funk manages to make me laugh out loud no less than four times in this awesome promo. He completely blanks on who is going to be in his corner halfway through the promo and ad-libs and this just keeps getting funnier. Someone MUST transcribe this. This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Quote
PeteF3 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 "That devious...that devious...MORON. What is his name?? That devious moron...that, that, that Japanese... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... GOOF! How can I be better off than having a Japanese goof in my corner??!" It's Funk, Embry, Prichard, and Tojo (or maybe just the first three) against...Lawler, Gilbert, and Jarrett, I would assume. Presumably Jackie Fargo will be on the opposite side. Quote
Kevin Ridge Posted March 29, 2013 Report Posted March 29, 2013 Always enjoy Terry’s regional rundown promos. He’s all over Memphis with their rats, slime and the scum. I was just cracking up with Funk forgot Yanemoto’s name. It totally works with Terry when he just pauses trying to remember his name. The fact that he trashes a guy in own corner makes it even better. This was awesome. Quote
soup23 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Posted May 30, 2013 Quite the promo from Funk. Completely off the rails at points and on point at others. Fun stuff. Quote
ajtroma Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 Common sense would say "Cut. Terry lets do another take here. And you know Tojo, dont you?" However, there are times you just let the thing keep rolling as Terry Funk's brain fart here is the Wrestling Promo Equivilant of a Slot Machine Hitting That Big Jackpot and gold just keeps coming and coming and coming out.

garretta Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 Once brilliance like this gets rolling, you don't stop it for anything. What I liked the most about this is that while Terry's words definitely sound like those of a lunatic, his delivery's very much in control. He's ranting, but he's still making perfect sense, and that's a skill few other people, let alone wrestlers, possess. Someone forgot to tell Terry that they weren't going to be at the MSC that week. Of course, as crazy as Terry is, you get the impression that he doesn't give half a hoot what building the match is in. It's Memphis, and that's awful enough. Other than forgetting Terry forgetting Tojo's name, the best moment here came when he exhorted the fans to oink like pigs in support of Lawler and company. Wouldn't it have been something else if they'd started to do just that? (By the way, are we positive that Terry forgot Tojo's name? Is it possible that he did what he did on purpose to get out of saying it, or just to be an ethnocentric, anti-Japanese clod?) Does anybody know what woman Lawler brought to ringside? Terry referenced a woman here who came to ringside with Lawler for the title match. Was it a contest winner? A ring girl? Could he have brought Paula with him, assuming they were still together?

dawho5 Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 Terry going off the rails is just as entertaining as any on point promo I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure it works with the Terry Funk character. Quote
