Every time I thought about my matches I’d constantly ask myself, “How can I be different?”

I challenged myself in this way because that’s what Terry Funk would do. I’m sure many of us who loved Funker tackled this task.

While it was a struggle for us, for Terry it was easy. pic.twitter.com/gqalb8Gj1R

I feel so fortunate that I was able to share a locker room and speak with the absolute legend Terry Funk. Such a class act and one of the absolute best of all time. Terry was truly built different. Truly one of a kind.
