| 1 | * Beating Jack Brisco for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/nwa/world/nwa-h.html NWA World Heavyweight Championship]] on December 10, 1975, in Miami, Florida, for a few reasons. First, this made him and Dory Jr. the only siblings to hold this title (and still hold that distinction as of January 1, 2013). Second, back in those days, the person who would be NWA World Champ was decided upon by nine people, so there was more of a consensus on who'd be the champ. Third, this would be the same title that Wrestling/RicFlair would hold almost six years later on September 17, 1981. |
| 2 | * Winning the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-h.html NWA ECW Heavyweight Championship/ECW World Heavyweight Championship]] twice, once on December 26, 1993 at ''ECW Holiday Hell 1993'' against Wrestling/{{Sabu}} and reigning until March 26, 1994 at ''ECW Ultimate Jeopardy 1994'', and the second time on April 13, 1997 at ''Barely Legal'' against Wrestling/{{Raven}} and reigning until August 9, 1997 at ''Born to be Wired 1997'' against Sabu in ''that'' No-Rope Barbed-Wire Match (''that'' match that not only required both men to be cut out of that barbed wire but also ''that'' match that Wrestling/PaulHeyman said he didn't want any hardcore ECW wrestler to attempt again.) |
| 3 | * Winning the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-us-h.html NWA (Mid-Atlantic)/WCW United States Heavyweight Championship]], making him a two-time United States Champion, his first run being under the [[Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance NWA]] banner in November 1975. |
| 4 | * The indescribable Funk-Wrestling/DustyRhodes-Wrestling/KevinSullivan-Wrestling/AbdullahTheButcher main event of the 2002 [=DVD=] ''[[http://www.thefow.com/index.htm FOW King of Carnage]].'' If you haven't seen it, you MUST get it. The rules said that all four guys had to be busted open before anyone can go for a pin. After that, first pinfall wins. In between, anything goes. |
| 5 | * Terry Funk vs [[Wrestling/MickFoley Cactus Jack]] in the finals of IWA's (Japan) King of Deathmatch tournament. The match is not the for the faint of heart, but cemented both of them as THE absolute legends of hardcore wrestling, bar none. |
| 6 | * While the match itself was a farce that got [[http://www.wrestlecrap.com/inductions/induction-funkcandidohorse/ inducted into]] Website/WrestleCrap, during a silly match against Wrestling/ChrisCandido on an episode of ''Thunder,'' Terry got ''kicked in the arm by a spooked horse'' after piledrivering Candido right next to it. Candido instantly panicked, [[NoSell stopped selling the piledriver]] and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere scrambled out of the stable]], but Funk just shouted ''"You fucking horse! I'll kick your ass!"'' Just another day on the job for the [[MadeOfIron indestructible]] Terry Funk. |
