I got to this page by hitting random article and that is how I often find pages to edit. I know that WWF was forced to WWE for legal reasons. Should all old references to WWF be updated to WWE (as in the case of Ferrin Barr Jr.) who wrestled for a "legally" named WWF? Autkm ( talk) 03:55, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
I noticed that earlier versions of this page mentioned that Jesse lost his eye, but that hasn't remained in the page. I recall that Dave Meltzer reported on that originally, but it seemed as though he really didn't want to dwell on it too much. Anyway, this video, from 1996, would certainly lead me to believe that it was all bullshit. RadioKAOS ( talk) 07:49, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
I uploaded a screenshot from the aforementioned clip, showing Jesse in Japan, 1996. Notice that he sure appears to have two perfectly good eyes.
File:FerrinBarrJr.JPG
I have no clue if Jesse makes the usual rounds, and therefore another photo can be taken. Any info on whether the file can pass muster as fair use or not is appreciated.

The result of the proposal was no consensus. -- BDD ( talk) 19:05, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
Ferrin Barr, Jr. → Jimmy Jack Funk – This is Barr's best known ring name as it is the name he wrestled under for his televised appearances with the WWF and WCW. This will allow far more direct linking. Relisted. BDD ( talk) 18:12, 12 August 2013 (UTC) McPhail ( talk) 16:26, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Okay, if there's no consensus for moving the page to Jimmy Jack Funk, I don't have a problem with that, but what about moving it to Jesse Barr? He's certainly more well known under than name than as Ferrin Barr, Jr. (is there even a cite on that being his real name?) 98.243.94.83 ( talk) 01:08, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. There is definitely consensus to move away from the current name. It may be that Jesse Barr would be a better name, but didn't yet have a consensus for this.-- Aervanath ( talk) 20:22, 14 January 2022 (UTC) -- Aervanath ( talk) 20:22, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
Ferrin Barr Jr. → Jimmy Jack Funk – Second nomination. Barr is undoubtedly better known as "Jimmy Jack Funk" than "Ferrin Barr Jr". Cagematch.net records 310 matches wrestled as "Jimmy Jack Funk" versus 633 wrestled as "Jesse Barr", but a far higher proportion of the former were on a national stage. McPhail ( talk) 21:02, 21 December 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 21:42, 28 December 2021 (UTC)— Relisting. Jerm ( talk) 21:28, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
