Everything about Terry Funk just makes me wonder why more old figureheads from bygone eras aren't as down to earth and understanding as much as him.
Like everything about him, he never shat on the current product, he never called for all this flashy shit to be stopped, he started doing a moonsault in his 50's for god sake!
Back in the day of the 1980's joshi's movement he always gave credit to it calling it the future, so much so that other wrestlers made fun of him for watching it.
He accepted and cherished hardcore ECW wrestling, he's always ahead of the time, not to make this a pro aew thing, but even just in recent years, stuff like "AEW is going to do something special" even then he knew what the fuck he was talking about.
He's just one of the best of all time, straight up, up there with your Ric Flairs and Bret Hart's, he's amazing and will be sorely missed.
Yu Ishino, ex-ring name ‘Kagetsu’, is the first ever trans masc wrestler. He came out on 13th May 2022, and, needless to say, this is huge. He’s known for wrestling in World Wonder Ring Stardom and Ring of Honour. He’s very much a hardcore wrestler and changed the game in Joshi puroresu while was there.
Unfortunately, for now, he has hung up his wrestling boots, but has recently begun his transition and I wish him all the best.
