It was previously reported that Terry Funk took him self off of the Saturday House of Hardcore show after not feeling well post hernia surgery. Funk spoke with Jim Ross and conformed the story, here is what Funk had to say…

“I’ve gotten probably 15 phone calls this morning from friends, many of who I haven’t heard from in forever, and I just thought I’d start having some fun with this latest rumor. I’ve been able to lead many of the callers down a funny as hell road until I laughed so hard that I had to ‘break character.

I had abdominal hernia surgery just four days before I flew to Philly for Dreamer’s promotion and I was supposed to lay low. I felt fine, ignored the doctor’s advice and decided to make the trip and keep my booking. By the time I flew from Amarillo to Philly and then signed what seemed like a thousand autographs that day, when the show roiled around I was completely fatigued. It had been a helluva long day and, dammit Ross, I was tired! I had been up 48 hours straight.

I asked if I could leave early and they said that I could so I went back to the hotel and went to bed. I was dead ass tired and I had to get up early and fly back to Amarillo.,

I’m still alive and I’m just fine.”
