Its not too unusual to see someone outside of professional wrestling enter the ring. You see it quite often in places like WWE, who had Bad Bunny in a huge spot at Wrestlemania earlier this year. However, seeing this on an independent show is where things get interesting, so when actor Ron Funches started to beef with Tony Deppen, no one knew what to expect. However the outcome at GCW Highest In The Room proved that Funches put the work in.

For GCW: Art Of War Games, Ron Funches was on commentary. Throughout the show, hed bump heads with the always crazy Tony Deppen, and theyd enter an unusual feud. Deppen was even called out on The Late Late Show with James Corden by Funches. Funches got some mentoring from Danhausen ahead of this match, and really showed up.

Hed do everything from slamming the head of Deppen through a door and nailing a Canadian Destroyer, but was unable to get the win. However, going for almost 15 minutes with someone like Tony Deppen isnt easy for trained wrestlers. That alone was impressive to see even when the match was heavy on comedy. Funches is unlikely to pursue a full career in wrestling, but did earn respect.

After the dust settled Deppen still didnt like Funches. However, as told on Twitter they had a moment of peace. After getting in the back, Ron Funches handed me a peace treaty; but it was disguised as a blunt. We smoked, I calmed down, and thanked him for taking our sport serious by putting in the work. Doesnt mean I like him, but I have a little respect for him.

Funches would respond with the following I knew I didnt have a shot taking on a true professional wrestler by myself and turned to help from my famous friends Danhausen & paul scheer and that was ultimately a mistake cuz Paul sucks! Tony Deppen is a great wrestler and it was an honor to lose to him.
