Two Great Wrestlers Two of my former students and two of the toughest in wrestling are having a rough time and need your prayers and encouragement, Doctor Death Steve Williams and Big John Tenta. Both are big men and great amateur wrestlers. Steve wrestled for Oklahoma University and John Tenta for LSU. I met them both in Japan working for All Japan Pro-Wrestling and Giant Baba. John Tenta was undefeated in Sumo Wrestling when he turned pro. Steve has always been an awesome athlete as a real wrestler and as a worker in Japan. He and Johnny Ace were outstanding working for All Japan Pro-Wrestling. Both in real life are wonderful people and right now are facing more than I could imagine as they fight their individual battles against cancer. At the Funking Conservatory, You can become a wrestler and a television superstar in three weeks. You could also strike it big like Lita, Paul London, Kurt Angle, Lita, Silvan Granier, Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Christian or Edge. Train with Dory Funk Jr. E-mail Dory Funk Jr. or call 352-895-4658 The competition for our viewing and the entertainment dollar is ever increasing. It seems every rating point is a battle as Raw and Smackdown on two occasions have had to go up against the political conventions against Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and even President George Busch and at the same time, NFL pre season pro football and the Olympics. Competition is like evolution. It is the survival of the fittest. It is tough enough to even get to the Olympics (ask Kurt Angle), but once you are there winning is even tougher. Congratulations to everyone that took part in the games. Just to have taken part is an amazing achievement. There Have been more rumblings at !BANG! Behind the scenes
to see what is going to end up happening to "The Claw." It is little
known that Claudia "The Claw" Reiff Is one of the richest
women in professional wrestling today. So far she has been suspended
for 90 days by General Manager Bill Apter for a deliberate and vulgar
act, She delivered a low blow to James W. Gooding that cost him the
Championship Office Wrestling belt, currently held by Bill Apter.
Gooding won the match but not the belt because of the rule that the
belt cannot change hands on a disqualification.
Apter has been looking into this matter closely and is not happy that the Claw is a referee and an official. Apter said today that by the beginning of next week he would have a major announcement regarding The Claw. - Will she be suspended indefinitely? Will she be stopped from being a referee? Or will she by fired? Find out more next week,. However remember, - reinstatement and anything else for that matter is more than possible. At our !BANG! TV Taping Johnny Magnum, an American
serviceman back from Iraq and Funking Conservatory Alumni wrestled The
Assassin Aric Dylan and both men
had one hell of a match. It was booked on the fly due to some other
people's injuries. These men gave the 350 fans at the Dory Funk
Arena a main event quality match, with the fans leaving happy as Johnny
Magnum won the International Heavyweight Championship Belt. Our thanks
to both men for a great match.
To make a wrestling territory really excel, you need have a
team, you need to have a team with a captain/boss. If everyone works
together under the boss, then the team can be very successful. If
you don’t work as a team and don’t have a boss or listen to your boss,
things may not work out so well. A quote from Jim Ross at WWE. If all
things are equal and someone comes to me and says, "I want to become
WWE Champion." and if someone else comes to me and says, "I want to be
a part of the WWE team." "I want the one that wants to be a part of the
WWE team."
