FUNK'S CORNER - THE LEARNING FIRE

Funk's Corner - Learning Under Fire
In the words of my Father, Dory Funk Sr., "You can spend your life wrestling
preliminary matches and never learn to work."
Under my Father's guidance, in my first year in the wrestling business in
Amarillo, Texas I wrestled Iron Mike Dibiase, Vern Gagne, Gene Kiniski, Fritz
Von Erich and Lou Thesz for the NWA World Championship. The matches with Vern,
Kiniski and Lou Thesz were one hour time limit draws. I was privileged to have
the opportunity to work with those superstars of the time and I learned a lot
from them.
Here at the Funking Conservatory we believe the way to learn the wrestling
business is to have the opportunity to perform in live wrestling matches on
television in front of a live audience against the best competition available.
Jeff Jarrett, America's Most Wanted, Cowboy James Storm and Chris Harris, Gail
Kim, Lexie Fyfe, (Played Hillary Clinton on Raw) Samoa Joe, Chris Daniels,
Jerry Lynn, Scott D'Amore have all been here at the Funking Conservatory to
wrestle with our Funking Conservatory Athletes. There is no better way to
learn the wrestling business.
Most recently, All Japan Pro Wrestling's Superstar and Talent Scout, Osamu
Nishimura and I teamed together with Johnny Magnum to face Blain Rage, Shane
Chung and Elvis Sharp in a Six Man Tag Team Match. This match is now featured
on !BANG! TV along with Webies (MIni Movies) for our next !BANG! TV Taping on
our website at
www.dory-funk.com.
If you would like to become a professional wrestler and appear on !BANG! TV,
Call us at the Funking conservatory - 352-895-4658. Kurt Angle, Christian,
Mickie James, Lita, Rhino, Christopher Daniels, Edge, Gene Sniski and the
Hardy Boyz have all trained in the, "Dory Funk Method," of professional
wrestling.
