The reason for this thread is simple. In my eyes, Terry Funk is considered the most versatile wrestler of all time. Why? Well, the man was a former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion who defended the belt against some of the greatest wrestlers of all time. His finisher was a Spinning Toe Hold, a move that won him the belt. Funk is widely considered a great ring technician who can work a part of the body and expose any kind of weakness you have. He was a pure wrestler.
THEN, you have his later years, where he earned the moniker, 'Middle Aged and Crazy.' He went from ring technician to hardcore legend. He's wrestled in Japan in both technical and hardcore wrestling. He's done the same here. He made ECW a house hold name and his family, the Funks are a storied wrestling family. Ric Flair called Funk one of the all time greats because of his versatility as a ring performer.
So, the question beckons, is Funk the most versatile wrestler in pro wrestling history? If not, then who is?
