What a stupid thing to do... Break TERRY FUNK's eardrum? Why not try that with Scott Steiner? Or the Big Show? You want to make a name for yourself? Do that with Kevin Nash. But Terry Funk? 65 years old? I don't care if it was for a match or not, that's some cowardly bullshit.
A young Terry Funk would have whipped Hannibal's ass from the ring to the ambulance waiting in the parking lot. Years ago in Amarillo some punk was running his mouth in a bar at Funk. Terry let it go and kept telling stories. This idiot hit Funk with a beer bottle in the back of the head. Funk turned around and said "You dropped your Beer" and handed him another. The guy went instant Casper. Funk then asked if he could finish his story. The guy took the beer sat down and listened to Funk's road stories. It was one of the single greatest moments of my younger years. It also taught me if you can stand there and take another man's best shot then whipping his ass is pointless. You've already taken his manhood and embarrassed him. A life lesson from the legend Terry Funk.
Gary Schneider so Terry Funk sat there and allowed someone to hit him in the back of the head with a beer bottle;, and no one hit him, arrested him or even threw hin out of the room? Bullshit!
The assault on Terry was uncalled for, and down right nasty. That alone would keep him out of the WWE. Somehow if they did let him in, I see him in a dark room getting his ass kicked. People there still have respect for the man.
Leaping Lanny is a joke. He claimed Bam Bam Bigelow was just a fat joke. But I’m reality, he was a talented wrestler. Weighing near 400 pounds, his agility was phenomenal
LOL, Hannibal and Lanny are so great that they have EVEN TODAY'S WRESTLING FANS believing that was real - people, it was a WORK - a brilliant work, but a work - LOL, Hannibal i SO WISH you were born 25 years earlier, you'd of been a classic heel bro ... in fact, you're one now ...
Like the late great Bobby Heenan. He wasn't a pompous prick in the outside world but when he was in character as "The Brain"( in what was then the WWF) and was a manager and commentator, he was.
Stan Hansen said that Funk is the toughest man ever. Stan said that he hit Funk with any object he could and it didn't even bother Funk. And who the fuck is this Hannibal guy?
To me the Hannibal/Genius backstage brawl had me asking whether or not this was a shoot or a well scripted work/worked shoot. Either way it worked for both people involved.
Lanny and Terry are legends. Hannibal is a great wrestler. Probably the best in this day.But when younger talent take things too far to actually hurt legends, for no reason, it shows a lack of control
It was a work and Lanny Knows that, WHO is he lying about that "incident" that wasn't one! Why he didn't help funk? Why all the hit's after the slaps are soooo soft? Don't lie Lanny!
I caught one of "Leaping Lanny Poffo's" Frisbees back in the 80's in the Moncton Colesieum, and a man about 45 tore it out of my hands about 5 minutes later.and I was about 10 years old.
Poffo should have helped his buddy out. Terry Funk in his prime would have killed Hannibal's unprofessional ass. The Terry Funk that was in Paradise Alley and WWF in the 80's, that Terry Funk. Always loved Funk as a kid I would root for him because he was just a bad ass. Still is and a classy professional.
You really have no clue how tough Hannibal is , he was a olympic wrestler hes probably the toughest man ever to be in pro wrestling except maybe Bruiser....
Yes, well put. Hannibal is a classless loser. Wow what a bad ass he is for beating up on a 68 year old man who had no idea he was going to be beat on. Kurt Angle was one of the best Olympic wrestlers in the WWE and does anyone think he would pull this kind of crap. NO WAY.
I respect the Devon mandible but the terry funk the legend class. but Lanny proffo the big chicken pat sajak class run away from Devon mandible. all the intelligent Canadian knows the genius is scare like the Kermit frog.
The Geanus! I'm not sure if I like him or not after all the shit he talks about some wrestlers. Leave it alone... its been years now! RIP to the best of all time and believe me he was way better than that 4 Horseman guy. Macho Man, you should get a lifetime achievement award and Lanny aka The Geanus...wait...I mean The Genius is the perfect guy to accept it for the late great Randy Macho Man Savage!
I don't think I want to know the full story. That said, every Hannibal life come across was a worthless low life and something tells me the streak continues
Hannibal explains this incident here: th-cam.com/video/bjCQUd0ng0A/w-d-xo.html

+Shifty D A nice stiff match with New Jack would get the job done.

What a great story. Thanks for sharing it. It honors a good man who gave his all to the wrestling biz.
+Gary Schneider Terry is a Godly decent man. It does not surprise me to hear this story.
Gary Schneider so Terry Funk sat there and allowed someone to hit him in the back of the head with a beer bottle;, and no one hit him, arrested him or even threw hin out of the room? Bullshit!
That's bullshit. Never happened.
It stops being a work if you legitimately hurt someone. Work safe, not real.
Heaven forbid a wrestler takes some pain purposely for the entertainment of the fans.
The assault on Terry was uncalled for, and down right nasty. That alone would keep him out of the WWE. Somehow if they did let him in, I see him in a dark room getting his ass kicked. People there still have respect for the man.
Leaping Lanny is a joke. He claimed Bam Bam Bigelow was just a fat joke. But I’m reality, he was a talented wrestler. Weighing near 400 pounds, his agility was phenomenal
Even if it was a work. He took it way too far. Disgusting display
LOL, Hannibal and Lanny are so great that they have EVEN TODAY'S WRESTLING FANS believing that was real - people, it was a WORK - a brilliant work, but a work - LOL, Hannibal i SO WISH you were born 25 years earlier, you'd of been a classic heel bro ... in fact, you're one now ...
How much did you pay Lanny for this Devon?
I been watching Lanny for a while now I always liked him back in the day but I really like him the more I hear him, very truthful and intelligent.
lanny u still have the voice of the GENIUS
why isnt he a commentater on wwe or something, with that voice..
Because he's a pompous ass prick.
pompus ass pricks arent commentaters?
Like the late great Bobby Heenan. He wasn't a pompous prick in the outside world but when he was in character as "The Brain"( in what was then the WWF) and was a manager and commentator, he was.
He"d try bummin all the wrestlers
Stan Hansen said that Funk is the toughest man ever. Stan said that he hit Funk with any object he could and it didn't even bother Funk. And who the fuck is this Hannibal guy?
Mettin Kaytaz
yeah...sure he could...
how do so many people not understand that this shit was setup??????
Are you butt hurt for some reason? It is obviously the Hannibal guys yt account the video is on. No shit it is a work.
codynono if you could learn how to talk right i could understand whatever you're trying to say and respond to it
codynono have fun at your 10th birthday party this year
codynono did you not get enough birthday cake?
Douche Bag Dingle Berry Breath im assuming THIS little spat is NOT a work...?? (but ya neva know lol :))
Lanny said all that of Hannibal? Wow!
Terry Funk should’ve busted out the branding iron on his ass!!
lanny poffo is a great Talker.he was it then back in the days and still is.and he was a solid worker too.
Lanny Poffo has aged well and very articulate.
He is also 14 years older since this was recorded
Lanny wearing a Newfoundland shirt 2 SWEET
You don't succeed in the wwe if you don't do what the boss says.
I agree that the Hannibal is better than almost any wrestler anywhere in the world. Wrestlers are soft now. Hannibal has credibility as a tough man.
Why would Lanny be wearing a Newfoundland shirt .... That's cool though
He has a t-shirt with the picture of Newfoundland on it, I'm from Newfoundland..what connection does he have with Newfoundland ?
Looks cool him wearing a Newfoundland t shirt. Sucks I didn't get a chance to see him when he came here
The Clarences love & support Lanny!
@Anne Frank Cough. xoxo The Clarences
He got a Newfoundland shirt on way to promote lol . I want one too
Mettin Kaytaz True it does that is why I left there
Hannibal are you and Lanny cool now? I know y'all had an incident in the past.
To me the Hannibal/Genius backstage brawl had me asking whether or not this was a shoot or a well scripted work/worked shoot. Either way it worked for both people involved.
this is clearly a shoot
Lanny and Terry are legends. Hannibal is a great wrestler. Probably the best in this day.But when younger talent take things too far to actually hurt legends, for no reason, it shows a lack of control
WORK!
Who hit who in the ear ?
Hannibal never deserved to be in the WWE, and he will never be in the WWE.
Why would Hannibal want to go to the wwe? He will end up being misused and not be given a decent push...
Who hit him
and bruised the right side of his face. looked like burns
it's all a work with a reality flair.
It was a work, but he did bust his eardrum
Hannibal to AEW!
It was a work and Lanny Knows that, WHO is he lying about that "incident" that wasn't one! Why he didn't help funk? Why all the hit's after the slaps are soooo soft? Don't lie Lanny!
So beating up an old man makes you tough these days? Hannibal has talent but he also has a few screws loose.
I caught one of "Leaping Lanny Poffo's" Frisbees back in the 80's in the Moncton Colesieum, and a man about 45 tore it out of my hands about 5 minutes later.and I was about 10 years old.
I loved the genius
Hannibal vs lesnar or Hannibal vs strauman or Hannibal vs Samoa joe would be some good ones
Lanny is awesome
Why does he hae a Newfoundland and Labrador T-Shirt on? cmf3225
Colin S. Goodyear Because he wrestled in that area.
THE HANNIBAL TV do you know when? I've never seen him here.
Shane Murphy a
Poffo should have helped his buddy out. Terry Funk in his prime would have killed Hannibal's unprofessional ass. The Terry Funk that was in Paradise Alley and WWF in the 80's, that Terry Funk. Always loved Funk as a kid I would root for him because he was just a bad ass. Still is and a classy professional.
You really have no clue how tough Hannibal is , he was a olympic wrestler hes probably the toughest man ever to be in pro wrestling except maybe Bruiser....
Yes, well put. Hannibal is a classless loser. Wow what a bad ass he is for beating up on a 68 year old man who had no idea he was going to be beat on. Kurt Angle was one of the best Olympic wrestlers in the WWE and does anyone think he would pull this kind of crap. NO WAY.
I use to like hanilble until he slap and old man and busted his ear drum
I respect the Devon mandible but the terry funk the legend class. but Lanny proffo the big chicken pat sajak class run away from Devon mandible. all the intelligent Canadian knows the genius is scare like the Kermit frog.
What accent does Poffo have? He sounds so weird.
+MadSeason - its a Jesse Ventura accent ! :)
+MadSeason West side of Chicago. Downers Grove, IL.
The Geanus! I'm not sure if I like him or not after all the shit he talks about some wrestlers. Leave it alone... its been years now! RIP to the best of all time and believe me he was way better than that 4 Horseman guy. Macho Man, you should get a lifetime achievement award and Lanny aka The Geanus...wait...I mean The Genius is the perfect guy to accept it for the late great Randy Macho Man Savage!
I don't think I want to know the full story.
That said, every Hannibal life come across was a worthless low life and something tells me the streak continues
hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gay as a goose
Very nice that you come out of the closet here like that. Good look with all the bigots that are here.
How gay is a goose?
Terry Funk is grandfather
Ha! Wish Lanny was on my team, amazing promotion.
That was a shoot.
Don't you mean it was a work?
