R.I.P. Dory Funk Jr.

[C.S.]

[Ricky Jackson]

Great example of a Dory NWA title defense, or a classic NWA title defense in general 

RIP Hoss

When you consider all of Dory's contributions to the business - the Funks as a tag team are criminally overlooked by some - he's one of the most important American wrestlers ever.

I didn't even know Dory was still alive  So sorry to hear of his passing. I'll try and honor him by watching some of his matches tonight.

Well said.

Dory has the misfortune of immediately being compared to his brother, even though they're quite different to each other in their mannerisms and movements (fire & ice dynamic to their tags). Still, now and again I think back to how he'd hit a European uppercut, or that spinning backslide he'll throw out of nowhere. He had the sauce, man. Great worker, trainer, champion, and mentor to many.
