In its 16-year history, the WWE Hall of Fame has welcomed ring pioneers of all types. But on April 4, 2009, for the first time ever, the Hall will be taken to the extreme with the induction of former ECW Champion Terry Funk -- the first ECW Champion to be inducted into the Hall.

WWE.com recently asked ECW Original Tommy Dreamer for comment on Funk's induction:

"It is extremely hard to put into words my emotions about Terry Funk the first ECW World Champion being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Terry and his brother Dory are the only brothers to be NWA World Champions. They held many regional single and tag team titles. The Funks competed in ECW and had a brutal fued with the Public Enemy, which culiminated into their classic barbed wire match.

Terry Funk was the man who told Hulk

I just wanted to update everyone on my progress of being more internet friendly. I have recently purchased a laptop computer. This Survivor Series weekend, my good friend Joey Styles is gonna show me how to be able to comment and answer some questions that get posted on my WWE Universe page.

So by next week i should be better educated and will be more proactive on my site. I would like to tell everyone that this WWE Universe page is the only way to be able to contact me.

I have been told by people that there are several Myspace and Facebook pages where people are claiming to be me. THEY ARE NOT.

I appreciate all fans spread the word that this is the only place to hear and see what Tommy Dreamer is doing.

Thanks for reading
Tommy Dreamer
