73 year old WWE Hall of Famer and hardcore legend Terry Funk got busted open and bled all over the place after getting spiked in the head with a giant nail at a recent PCW show.
It all went down on Friday at PCW ‘Demonized’ in Wilmington, California when Funk got involved in a match pitting Sandman and Masada vs. PCW tag team champs Warbeast.
Josef from Warbeast spiked Terry in the head multiple times for helping the ECW icon.
Funk will return to PCW on December 1 as part of a team with Sandman to face Warbeast in a revenge match at Refuse to Lose. Tickets are available at PCWLive.com.

There are rumors of Neville quitting WWE and walking out before Monday’s RAW in Indianapolis hit the air. The original plans for the Lumberjack main event had Neville losing to WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore but plans changed and Kalisto ended up defeating Enzo for the title.
In an update, F4Wonline.com confirms that Neville did walk out of RAW before the show began and that his future is up in the air. WWE has officially denied that he quit the promotion. F4Wonline.com also notes that the originally planned Neville vs. Enzo match was supposed to be non-title.
The first Kalisto vs. Enzo match wasn’t supposed to happen until the October 22nd WWE TLC pay-per-view, as announced just a few hours before RAW began. As noted last night, WWE has confirmed that Enzo will get his rematch for the title at TLC.
Neville did not appear on WWE 205 Live last week and his profile remains on the WWE website as of this writing.
Neville’s last TV appearance came last Monday during the segment that saw RAW General Manager Kurt Angle announce that he had signed Kalisto to the cruiserweight Division. His last TV match came on the September 26th edition of WWE 205 Live, a win over Ariya Daivari. He did not work any weekend live events but cruiserweights rarely work the non-televised events besides an occasional singles title match.
UFC superstar Conor McGregor is reportedly in talks with WWE for a one-off appearance at WrestleMania 34, according to a report by SunSport in the U.K. According to the report, “a deal is close” with WWE.
“Conor is a huge wrestling fan. His entire persona on stage he has developed from watching performers like Ric Flair and The Rock,” a source told SunSport. “These are the top dogs at self-promotion and trash talk. He watched these guys when he was younger. This is something he’s always wanted to do. The WWE guys have asked him to do shows before with them but the timing was never really right. But this time it looks like a deal is going to be locked into place.”
SunSport had also reported this past January that WWE presented McGregor with “a hefty offer,” which he declined.
During an appearance at a “Leaders in Sports” convention at Stamford Bridge last week, Stephanie McMahon discussed the possibility of McGregor making an appearance for WWE, stating that he would “be a perfect fit” in the company.
“I think Conor would be a perfect fit with WWE,” McMahon said. “He certainly has the personality and the athletic ability, the appeal. He speaks his mind, he’s very genuine and authentic and he has a hell of a Vince McMahon swagger.”
McGregor drew the ire of several wrestling superstars when he took shots at the current talent during a media conference call in 2016. McGregor said that while he respected “the old G’s of the game” like The Rock and Ric Flair, the today’s stars are “dweebs.”
“The rest are dweebs,” McGregor said. “What’s the main guy? John Cena. He’s 40, he’s 40 years of age. He’s walking around in a illuminous orange t-shirt and a headband talking about [how] no one can see him. We can see him right there, he’s a big fat 40 year old failed Mr. Olympia motherf–ker! They’re dweebs, those guys!
“Like I said, no disrespect to the Dons of the game,” he continued. “I mean Vinny Mac’s a f–king legend. They wrote Vinny Mac a couple of years ago, then he rose back up and he’s back in the billionaires club. What he’s been able to do with that bunch of dweebs he has over there at the moment has been phenomenal and I respect him for that. And then of course, the old G’s of the game – The Rock, Stone Cold – they’re all cool mother f–kers. Even Ric Flair’s a cool mother f–ker… but that new age of those guys are absolute dweebs… it ain’t trash talk, it’s true talk!”
It didn’t arrive in September as originally announced (at least, not on purpose), but the Global Wrestling Network (GWN) is here. The streaming service is a key part of Anthem Entertainment’s plan to make money off of Global Force Impact Wrestling, its tape library and current roster.
In addition to the free tier which will give users access to the latest Impact and Xplosionepisodes, the pay service includes old episodes and pay-per-view (PPV) events – many of which feature current WWE talent like Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe and AJ Styles. PWInsider reports that, in an effort to position GWN as the alternative to WWE Network, Anthem’s app “also features material from Scott D’Amore’s Border City Wrestling, Aaron Weiss’ Pro Wrestling Superstars PPV series, Canadian independent promotion Smash Wrestling, and Wrestling at the Chase, classic content from the old St. Louis territory.”
Here’s the company’s official press release:
