Terry Funk is currently recovering from COVID-19, according to Dave Meltzer in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Meltzer said the 76-year-old recently contracted the virus and is doing fine outside being in isolation. The Amarillo, Texas, resident believes he got it from attending church recently.

"The Hardcore Legend" canceled a scheduled appearance at the March 2020 Big Event convention in New York City due to health reasons. It was reported earlier this year that he wasn't doing well with Dustin Rhodes tweeting that Funk was experiencing "a lot of pain" in his hip but that "he's a tough SOB."

Funk last wrestled in 2017 and had performed sparingly in the years leading up to that event. He last famously made some 2016 dates following hernia surgery despite his doctor said he needed to take it easy.

A fixture in wrestling for nearly 60 years, Funk is a multiple-time Hall of Famer and has won singles or tag team titles in every major organization he has been part of.

"A fixture in wrestling for nearly 60 years" is just such an insane statement.

Good to hear he's recovering as my Mother right now is recovering from Covid as we speak. Fatigue to the point you don't want to even move and for my Mother who loves to wear her Makeup she doesn't have the energy to even do that. I'm glad though her Coughing has stopped after 10 days and she's only dealing with Fatigue and her aching body all over. She told me it feels like a person is hitting you with a Hammer. I'm happy that I'm with her making sure she's doing well and cleaning the Room to the point where I know I'm good from not getting it myself and after the time passed the Doctors told me if I haven't shown signs after these days I'm good. Granted I'm wearing my Masks at all times, washing my hands and using Hands Sanitizer like crazy to protect myself.

Hopefully Funk recovers as soon as possible. Cool that he lives basically an hour away from where I was born.

You're a great person for taking care of your mother in these hard times. I hope she fully recovers from COVID.

I'm happy to see Funk recover from COVID, especially at the age he's at right now.

Reminder that Terry Funk debuted in 1965 and is only 76. Man is a god damn Ironman. If all the Japanese Deathmatches didn't kill him, Covid sure as hell won't.
