Eddie Kingston – ‘Terry Funk Is The Greatest Of All Time’

On the latest episode of the “What Happened When” podcast, AEW wrestler Eddie Kingston recalled texting Tony Schiavone to declare that WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk is the greatest wrestler of all time.

During an episode of Dynamite where the AEW broadcast team labeled Bryan Danielson as the greatest, Kingston sent a message to Schiavone, rating Funk higher than anyone.

Schiavone said,

“We were talking about Bryan Danielson one night, it was probably a couple of weeks ago, and I said, ‘Bryan Danielson is probably the best professional wrestler I’ve ever seen.’ My phone lights up. It’s Eddie Kingston. ‘It’s Terry Funk. You f**k.’”

Kingston said,

“I’m sitting there after hernia surgery, watching Dynamite on one of the f**king Turner stations, and I hear the blasphemy coming out of Excalibur and Schiavone’s mouth about Bryan Danielson being the GOAT. I said, ‘Absolutely not, I can’t let this go.’ I got a group chat with the guys, so I got, ‘Hey f**kos, it’s Terry Funk, the greatest of all time.’”
