From Mike Cline - Mid-Atlantic Gateway
"The seed was planted for an incredible program between DORY FUNK and JOHNNY WEAVER which would stretch out over a full year, with some very interesting plot twists along the way."
"The NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP was the "Mount Everest" of the professional wrestling business. The AWA and the WWWF each had their own WORLD CHAMPION, and was their key title as well. But the NWA represented more territories and more geographical area than the other wrestling organizations. Hundreds of wrestlers would have loved to be the world champ, but few would achieve it."

!BANG! TV Report - WWE Hall of Fame Inductee, Antonio Inoki vs Dory Funk Jr.

A meeting was arranged in Las Vegas in the fall of 1969. At the meeting was Japan Pro Wrestling Representative, Charley Moto, my father, Dory Funk Sr., NWA President, Sam Muchnick and Myself. Mr. Moto made a financial offer to NWA President Sam Muchnick and I for the NWA World Championship Match, Dory Funk Jr. vs Antonio Inoki and we accepted. We took him at his word as in those days there were no contracts.

My father, Dory Funk Sr. traveled with me on that first trip to Japan. My first match for the NWA World Championship in Japan was in the winter of 1969 against Antonio Inoki. We were both in excellent condition and evenly matched. My Father, Dory Funk Sr. was in my corner.

As the bell rang, I remember Dad saying, ""Don't let that &%#@! Inoki get the best of you." I remember thinking, "I hope these people don't speak English." (Dad was a combat veteran from WWII serving in the U.S. Navy in the South Pacific) I thought, "Better to fight Inoki than to face the wrath of my father."


Wrestling Inoki was the kind of match I enjoy, fast paced, competitive and for the highest stakes in the wrestling business, The NWA World Championship. At about the 45 minute mark, I shot for a single leg pickup. Inoki blocked, pushing me toward the corner of the ring. I released and turned using his momentum to crash him backward into the corner. I threw a forearm to his body and one at his chest. In a flash of anger, He swung a punch at me and in seconds, this great wrestling match turned into a brawl.


We fought through the ropes and on to the floor, both of us swinging wildly at each other. In an effort to rid myself of Inoki's punches, I reached for his head, and wound up with a handful of hair,. I grabbed tight and threw him off. He landed against the announcer's table and sagged to his knees. With a breath of air, I returned to the ring. As I looked back, my father was standing over Inoki. Dad reached out to help him back into the ring. When Dad touched Inoki, the fans were on their feet protesting. They thought he was going to hurt Inoki. From the second balcony I could see a projectile hurdling toward my Father. It must have been thrown by a pitching ace for on of the Japanese baseball teams. Landing with a thud against my father's chest was an orange, it split open and there was fresh orange juice running down my father's new gray silk suit. In anger, dad shook his fist at the balcony.


The final 10 minutes of the match were bedlam. Dad was on the ring apron several times, the fans were on their feet, and periodically oranges would fly into the ring. Now, the bell was ringing. The one hour time limit had elapsed. This match was a draw and I knew I would retain the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Belt. I walked to Inoki, shook his hand and told him, "Great match."

Funk's Corner - Breakfast with WWE Hall of Fame Inductee, the "Million Dollar Man, Ted Dibiase and Family

Monday night on Raw, one of my early students of professional wrestling, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase was announced as the first inductee to the WrestleMania 26 Hall of Fame.

After the loss of his father, Iron Mike Dibiase of a heart attack in the ring in Lubbock, Texas, Ted Dibiase said to me, "If this business was good enough for my mom and dad, It is good enough for me. This is what I want to do." (Ted's mother was one of the most beautiful Ladies in the wrestling business, Helen Hilde. Iron Mike Dibiase, Amateur wrestler from University of Nebraska, was one of the toughest men in the business)

Now as an inductee of the WWE Hall of Fame, The Million Dollar Man, Ted Dibiase earns recognition as one of professional wrestling's all time great wrestlers and box office attractions.

Watching the special on Ted Dibiase brought back memories of Amarillo, Texas and the Amarillo Territory.

A wrestling enemy who was a friend of mine was Ted's Father, Iron Mike Dibiase. I had watched my father Dory Funk Sr. wrestle Iron Mike in a famous three hour and ten minute match in Amarillo, Texas. Iron Mike was the man I worked with in the finals of a tournament in Amarillo to earn the right to wrestle Lou Thesz early in my career. At the time Iron Mike was my best friend, even though publicly we were never seen together.

Breaking the kay-fabe Rules

It was 8:00 am, early for wrestlers who worked late and usually were in bed at this time. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, sausage, grits, biscuits, gravy and hot coffee. The guests in my home were Iron Mike Dibiase, his beautiful wife and former lady wrestler, Helen (Hilde) Dibiase, and their young children, Teddy and little John Dibiase. The conversation was warm and friendly and we were enjoying the comradeship.

We were, "breaking kay-fabe," and enjoying ourselves immensely, especially young Teddy who was only 11 years old at the time and his little brother John. What happened next was a real nightmare!
