Dory Funk Jr. and Terry Funk are two of the most important foreign talents in the history of Puroresu, particularly in All Japan -- they were loved by the crowds just as much as the home team, they trained a ridiculous amount of talent, helped create the Real World Tag League...they did a lot. This video concentrates on a pretty unique match in their careers though -- the one singles match that Dory and Terry had against each other, in 1981. A brother vs. brother match like this wasn't exactly common back in those days, and while this legendary pair are definitely going to bring the goods, they may well demonstrate while that was the case. Enjoy!

FUNK VS. FUNK: Terry Funk and Dory Funk Jr.'s ONLY Singles Match

Terry Funk and Dory Funk Jr. are two of the most important foreign talents in the history of Japanese wrestling -- the crowd loved them as much as the home team. In 1981, they'd end up having their only ever singles bout -- not just a major match and not just unique to their legendary careers, this Brotherly clash was something hardly seen in wrestling at all back then.
