Kayfabe Commentaries honored him as their last Ring Roast victim, now “the Living Legend” Terry Funk joins the Ringside series with new host the legendary Bill Apter (recently interviewed on Online World of Wrestling Radio) who replaces Sean Oliver. Funk & Apter have been friends since 1969 and you can tell by their chemistry. Here is the full listing of the matches:

Mr. Funk is the perfect guest for this show having been NWA World champion and wrestled in several decades. He has forgotten more about the sport then many of will ever know. Like the previous releases with Big Van Vader and Demolition, due to someone else owning every piece of wrestling footage ever shot; the DVD is a sit down interview with a TV monitor in front of Funk & Apter. Funk was born into the sport (Dory Sr. & Jr.) and his love for it resonates throughout the program as does Apter’s. Funk gives interesting insight into the responsibilities of the National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight champion and being married to the belt. Funk was also the American booker for the Japanese promotions and he gives stories of dealing with promoters like Giant Baba and the talent. Another amazing thing is Funk’s great recollection of stories from his career that some of his generation would never remember. He can remember a 64 consecutive day run in WWF in the 80’s, meetings with Vince McMahon Sr. & Jr., the Japanese promotional wars, dealing with the Puerto Rico promotions and creating the “Empty Arena” and “I Quit” angles. This DVD is just the cusp of the historical matches Funk has been part of and I hope it makes you seek out other DVD’s and material.
