Funk’s Corner – A Tribute to Jumbo Tsuruta
In 1972 my Father, Dory Funk Sr. agreed to supply American wrestling talent for Giant Baba’s new company All Japan Pro Wrestling.Saturday was the beginning of my week off as NWA World Champion. Even though it was my time off, I would wrestle several shots for the Amarillo Territory. I was not working this day but went to Channel 10 Television to see if I could be of help with the production of the weekly TV show.
