Funkmaster V AKA "Cousin Vinnie" Vineyard has been known around the Southeast as an obnoxious musical performer, mean-spirited comedian, and a controversial radio show host. But what drug him into the TXW spotlight was actually an incident at Wal-Mart. Funk, the owner of a quasi-new 2006 Suzuki Aerio Hatchback Wagon (with totally boss rims), walked out of the store one day to find that his driver's side door had been scratched. Even though most believe the scratch looks more like it was done with a key than a buggy, Funk blamed the wrestler Buggy Boy's care-free work ethic for the scratch and entered the world of wrestling to get revenge.
In his wrestling career, Funkmaster has had many heated feuds. Most notably with Bob O Mac, a young referee turn wrestler, after Funk's obsession and inappropriate actions due to the alleged romance with Bob's wife, Beth O Mac. He has also had heated stints with Dwayne Windham, The Demon, Jerry Lee, Demetria, Maskerade, the Buggy Boy, Tony Blaine and the Hollywood Kid to name a few.
Funkmaster V was the host of the infamous TXW talk show "TXW Main Event" for over two years, started the stable "Detroit Funk City" with the Demon... a group that supported the band KISS and Funk Music, and won several awards and titles throughout numerous promotions. After an infamous cage match with rival Bob O Mac, Funkmaster V was kicked out of Detroit Funk City and quickly became a fan favorite. The crowd was ready to cheer Funkmaster anyways, as the crowd was split in his cage match with Bob O Mac. Since then, he has been wearing his ABA Basketball inspired attire, healing audience members with the power of the Funk, and enouraging people to ride the Funk Train with him. Funkmaster retired from the ring in 2010 due to several injuries, but when his old rival and friend, Bob O Mac, turned his back on the fans, Billy Marshall from TXW and Barry Allen from EGO-PRO called him out of retirement to save Bob's reputation.
