WWE Bio

It’s hard to point out any one portion of Terry Funk’s legendary career and say that it was Funk at his most wild and unpredictable. But amid all the mayhem that Funk brought, he did anything as crazy as play with a fully functional chainsaw in the ring. That is, until Chainsaw Charlie. The sight of a wild man with a stocking over his head waving a running chainsaw over his head is the stuff of horror movies. And, in 1998, it was the stuff of WWE, as well. As “Charlie,” Funk continued his love-hate relationship with Mick Foley. And as much of each man’s career played out prior, they viciously brawled with one another. But they also joined forces to battle the New Age Outlaws. The duo beat the Outlaws for the World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania XIV in a Dumpster Match, but the result was thrown out the next day on a technicality. Chainsaw Charlie was perhaps Funk at his most unpredictable (with the possible exception of his stints in Japan), and in WWE ’13 , Charlie’s back, and he’s bringing the chainsaw with him.

Breakdown

Chainsaw Charlie’s persona in the ring was one of a tough, hardcore Superstar. Like his one-time tag team partner Cactus Jack he was know for being able to work through high levels of punishment, and with his 90 in Durability and 95 in Toughness, he’s not going to quit here either. Put Chainsaw Charlie’s 90 in Tag Team to good use partner up with Cactus Jack to re-create the drama with Road Dogg and Billy Gunn from the “Attitude Era”. We liked selecting a Tornado Tag match with Extreme Rules to fully take advantage of the tough duo. Or, select a Tag Team match and whip one of them into the corner and use the Drop Toe & Elbow Drop against the opponent for a classic Tag Team move, and you can follow that up with Charlie’s Signature Move, the Texas Jab to keep the power strikes coming. Finish off the barrage with the Texas Piledriver for the win.
