Funk’s Corner – Final Match in Wrestling – “A New Beginning”
My final match in wrestling will take place Saturday March 1st, 2008 in Tokyo’s Sumo Hall. It will be as real and memorable as February 11, 1969, the day that changed my life forever when I won the NWA World Championship from Gene Kiniski.
My thanks to Keiji Mutoh, President of All Japan Pro Wrestling (aka Great Muta in America in the days of WCW) for hosting my final wrestling match.
I would also like to thank the wrestling fans in Japan who have stayed with me for so long and have never forgotten the good times we shared together.
