WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk was scheduled to be in Tommy Dreamer's corner for last night's House of Hardcore Main Event in Philadelphia but due to feeling dizzy because of serious health issues, Funk had to leave the former ECW Arena and apparently went back home.



Funk was actually told by doctors not to get in the ring but he ignored them and cut a promo, according to PWInsider. Funk told fans at the historic venue that he didn't want to leave the building or the ring because he knew if he left, he wouldn't be back.


Stay safe Terry. Health first you crazy old man.

Such a majestic old bastard. Here's hoping he's got a few years left.
Love Terry. He's arguably one of the most dynamic and long lasting stars in the business. Considering all that he's done.

Scrappy young babyface
Tag team specialist both in America and in Japan
NWA World Champion
A top babyface in a Japanese promotion as a foreigner
Southern wrestling legend
Hardcore innovator
WWF comedy/sports entertainer both in the 80s and 90s.

Terry is one talented dude.

I hope the Funker is going to be okay... yeah he's getting up there in the years but he's the kind of guy you definitely want to stick around in life for as long as possible.

WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk was originally scheduled to serve as Tommy Dreamer's corner man last night at the House of Hardcore event at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, Terry was feeling dizzy from what are being described as serious health issues and was forced to leave early.

Funk was instructed by doctors to not get in the ring, but the former NWA Champion ignored their warnings and stepped inside the squared-circle to cut a promo. PWInsider is reporting that Funk told fans that he was afraid to leave the building, because if he did, he knew he'd never be back.

He has been in bad health since the late 90's.

Hate to say it but he kind of brought a lot of it on himself as well ignoring the doctors.

Turns out he's fine. He was coming off hernia surgery and had had a very hectic weekend up until that point, that's why he wasn't looking great, but he's OK now.
