!BANG! TV – WWE Video on Demand – Dory Funk Sr. talks about his son, Dory Funk Jr.
When I was a young boy in Amarillo, Texas I watched my father, Dory Funk Sr. battle some of the toughest wrestlers in the business. Names like Fritz Von Erich, Frankie Hill Murdoch, Wayne Martin, Leroy McGuirk, Bob Geigel, Verne Gagne, Lou Thesz, Gene Kiniski, Nature Boy Buddy Rogers, Roger Mackey, Dick Hutton, Angelo Savoldi just to name a few.
Late an night I would remember the matches and visualize that in the ring it wasn’t my father but it was me doing the Back Body Drop, Flying Dropkick or the Spinning Toe Hold. I wanted to be like my father, Dory Funk Sr.
