Ross
aka JR on Terry Funk
“I
loved him like family. Terry was a brilliant mind.
Absolutely amazing ring psychology. He was physically
and mentally as tough as a $2 steak… Terry Funk
is irreplaceable. There will never be another.”
On
Funk’s I Quit match vs Ric Flair. Clash Of Champions.
1989:
“That
match still stands the test of time. One of my all-time
favorites in my near 50 years in pro wrestling. Terry
was special. And he was brave enough to reinvent himself
multiple times.”

Ross Talks Mick Foley entering the WWE Hall of Fame
WWE
Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated the blog on his website
at JRsbarbq.com.
The following is an extract regarding his thoughts
on Mick Foley entering the WWE Hall of Fame:
"Sometimes a talent is hired to bring a positive
influence into a locker room that's either dotted
with youth or by those who enjoy traveling on the
wrong side of the road a little too much. That's one
reason that I wanted Mick in our locker room back
when we hired him but I also knew that hiring Mick
was akin to hiring a kid who grew up in Bronx joining
the New York Yankees. Being in WWE was Mick's lifelong,
wrestling dream and I'm thankful that I was in a position
to help Mick, aka Mrs. Foley's Baby Boy, with the
opportunity to accomplish amazing feats while in WWE."
