Face Off Vol. 13- A Funkin' Dream

Is it reality or is it a dream?  RF VIDEO is happy to present Face Off Volume 13 “A Funkin’ Dream” with Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer!!!  This was by far one of our best Face Off interviews to date with two of the most infamous men of all time who roamed in the land of Extreme.  When we told Tommy Dreamer that he would be sitting Face to Face with his mentor Terry Funk he was more than ecstatic.  Tommy said, "This is going to be a great concept interview and I can't wait to take part of this project."

If you’re a ECW, TNA or WWE fan your going to enjoy this. This was Tommy's second ever shoot interview and he talks so much about ECW, TNA and WWE. The Funker even predicts this years Mania PPV main event with the Undertaker, claims Paul Heyman is working for WWE again and also talk a lot about what TNA might be doing wrong and how they can improve.

The questions that we ask both men might might shock you.  Tommy has worked inside the WWE and TNA offices and has hired dozens of the top wrestlers in the WWE and TNA that you see right now on TV.  He has worked with everyone in the ring.  Terry Funk is just a genius and in this interview they talk all about the industry of pro wrestling and what happened in the locker rooms of all the companies they worked for.

They talk about their time in ECW together and Tommy discusses what Terry Funk meant to him as a young wrestler breaking into ECW.  We cover all the main talent in ECW and they share a ton of never told before locker room stories.  

The best part of this interview is just sitting back and listening to these two talk to each other about wrestling in general and what is wrong with todays product and how it could be changed for the better.  The amount of information you get during this shoot is so entertaining and informative that Terry Funk proves why he was able to stay relevant for all of these years.   This is one hardcore interview you will not want to miss!
