Terry Funk's pro wrestling career has spanned more than five decades, and he has wrestled in a string of promotions across the world throughout his career. Some of the most notable promotions Funk competed for are WWE, AJPW, ECW, WCW, NJPW, and NWA.

Funk had a brief stint in WWE in the late 1990s as Chainsaw Charlie. His run is mostly remembered for his alliance with Mick Foley. The duo had a heated feud with The New Age Outlaws. One of the biggest wins of Terry Funk's career came at WrestleMania 14, where he and Foley (who came in as Cactus Jack for the match) defeated The New Age Outlaws to win the WWE Tag Team Championship.

Funk is truly a legendary wrestler, so he'll be in the thoughts of many fans and wrestlers in the days ahead. The Sportskeeda community sends its best wishes to Funk in this trying time.
