During MJF’s Texas Death Match against Hangman Page at AEW Revolution 2026, the AEW World Champion wore red, black, and white striped gear, plus a cowboy hat and poncho reminiscent of Terry Funk’s iconic look. And now WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has praised MJF on Instagram for honoring Funk at AEW Revolution 2026, stating, “True legends never die!” Additionally, he confirms past reports that he was in talks to wrestle MJF, and he would have been his “one more match” opponent.
“MJF HONORS THE FUNKER Major props to @the_mjf for honoring Terry Funk last weekend at @aew Revolution 2026… True legends never die! If I had one more match in me, it would have been with MJF. Sadly, it just wasn’t meant to be…” – Mick Foley
Foley idolized Funk long before they met, first inspired by Funk’s brutal 1986 match against Bruiser Brody on tape. Later, Funk would become Foley’s mentor, teaching him the art of hardcore wrestling. Their bond deepened through intense rivalries in Japan and alliances in ECW and WWF. Ultimately, Foley considered Funk his closest friend and greatest influence, and was proud of having built a relationship with the Texas icon that blended fierce competition with lifelong affection and mutual respect.
