Jon Moxley Was Willing To Fight With Vince McMahon Over Classic Terry Funk Segment

Jon Moxley debuted at AEW Double Or Nothing 2019 and wasted no time in making a huge impact on the company. Before that, he was a major star in WWE and it appears he was willing to fight Vince McMahon over a classic Terry Funk segment.

Jon Moxley was involved in a segment with Terry Funk on the March 21, 2016 episode of WWE RAW, during the build-up to his WrestleMania 32 match against Brock Lesnar.

While speaking with Sports Illustrated, Moxley revealed that Terry Funk went off-script during the segment. Moxley then stated that he was willing to fight with Vince McMahon over the segment.

So the writers tried to make Terry feel better, and they finally started writing new drafts. The final one, Terry only had one line. The new plan was that I talked, then Terry would have his line, then I’d take it home. So I say my first piece. Then Terry is up, and he starts going off. He cut this f****** awesome, insane, f****** classic Terry Funk spiel. ‘This kid, he’s the best in the country!’ I loved that he said country, which was such an old school line. He was incredible. It took a second to see this wasn’t a sad old man with no confidence, it was Terry Funk.

What we filmed wasn’t from the script, so the writer in charge wanted to do it again,” said Moxley. “I was like, ‘F— this. We just got a Terry Funk classic. We’re not doing it again. If Vince is upset about it, I’ll talk to him myself.’ So the writers agreed, and I was pumped. We got a classic piece of Terry Funk in the flesh. “

Terry Funk, whose contributions to professional wrestling were monumental, departed on August 23, 203, at the age of 79. No matter what, his contributions to the industry will never be forgotten and Jon Moxley knows that all too well.
