To date, he was the fifth longest reigning NWA World Heavyweight Champion of all time, holding it for over four years. In addition, he also held the major heavyweight titles (but not officially recognized as World Titles):WWC Universal Heavyweight Championship once and theCWA World Heavyweight Championship once.

Professional wrestling career[]

Training[]

Dory Funk Jr.'s career in professional wrestling began in January 1963 just after a college football career with West Texas State University culminating in a 15 to 14 victory over Ohio University in the Sun Bowl inEl Paso, Texas. Dory Funk, Jr.'s first match was a victory overDon Fargo inAmarillo, Texas. West Texas State University All American Jerry Logan was in Funk's corner and Fargo's brother, Jim, was in his corner. Dory was also supported by the whole West Texas State University football team and the Tascosa High School amateur wrestling team. Dory was doing his student teaching as coach of the Tascosa High wrestling team under Coach James Kyle.

National Wrestling Alliance[]

Dory Funk, Jr. came to theNational Wrestling Alliance (NWA) in 1968 and went on to win theNWA World Heavyweight Championship fromGene Kiniski on February 11, 1969 inTampa, Florida and remained NWA World Champion for the next four and a half years, which is the second-longest uninterrupted reign of any NWA World Champion (Lou Thesz held the NWA world title from November 27, 1949, to March 15, 1956). Dory and his brother,Terry, are the only brothers in history to each hold the title. Funk finally lost the NWA World Championship on May 24, 1973 after a hurried recovery from a pickup truck accident on his father's Flying Mare Ranch in West Texas. Dory was forced into the ring inKansas City, losing the belt toHarley Race. Some people do not believe the accident actually occurred. Funk was originally scheduled to faceJack Brisco for the championship on March 2, 1973, which many at the time believed he would come out on the losing end of. According to Brisco, Dory Funk Sr. did not want his son to lose the belt to anotherbabyface wrestler. Thus, the convenient "accident", allowing Dory Jr. to "lose" the gold toheel Harley Race and claim that he lost by returning to the ring too soon after being injured. Dory Jr. still claims that the accident and injuries were real. Race held the title only a few months before dropping it to Brisco.

He performed regularly throughout the NWA, particularly in theMid-Atlantic,Georgia,Florida and Central States regions, through the 1970s and early 1980s. In December 1984, he and his brother Terry competed in a tag team match againstBruiser Brody andStan Hansen that later received a5-star rating byDave Meltzer.

In January 1986, Dory (given the nickname "Hoss") made his WWF debut in a team alongside his brother Terry. The brothers performed atWrestleMania 2 defeating theJunkyard Dog andTito Santana. Terry left the WWF shortly after WrestleMania, but Dory remained, mostly tagging with "brother"Jimmy Jack Funk, who in truth had no relation to the Funk family. He made a single appearance with the WWF as a participant in the1996 Royal Rumble.

Later years[]

Funk is now the Coach of the Funking Conservatory Professional Wrestling School and teaches the Dory Funk Method of Professional Wrestling. Dory's students includeJeff Hardy,Matt Hardy,Christian,Lita,Kurt Angle,Mickie James,Edge,Ted DiBiase,Test, andDelirious.

On March 1, 2008 Funk and Nishimura defeatedGenichiro Tenryu andMasanobu Fuchi in Funk's retirement match viaSpinning toe hold.

On the February 16, 2009 episode ofRaw, it was announced that Dory along with his brother Terry would be inducted into theWWE Hall of Fame Class of 2009 byDusty Rhodes

On the April 1, 2010 edition ofTNA Today, Dory Funk appeared on the show to have an interview withJeremy Borash.

Personal life[]

Dory married his first wife, Jimmie, on June 8, 1960. Together, they have three children: Dory III, Adam Dirk (born May 13, 1965) and Penny. They also have five grandchildren: Dory IV, Jennifer, Sheldon, Bob and Coby. They later separated and were officially divorced on July 6, 1983. Dory III went into medicine and now practices out of Colorado, Dory IV is now training to be a wrestler under the ring name Dory Jr.
