Terry Funk's WrestleFest: 50 Years of Funk was a professional wrestling live event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) on September 11, 1997. The event was held to mark the retirement of Terry Funk. In addition to ECW wrestlers, it featured Bret Hart and Mankind from the World Wrestling Federation, along with multiple wrestlers from Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling.[1]

The event was held in the Tri-State Fairgrounds Coliseum in Amarillo, Texas (Funk's adopted hometown) in the United States.[2] The event was released on VHS and on DVD in 2002, while excerpts from the main event featured in the 1999 documentary Beyond the Mat. The main event was later made available for streaming on the WWE Network.[3]

Funk broke his retirement 11 days later on September 22, 1997, wrestling in Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling.[4]
