Zorro vs Zorro
The Amarillo Sports Arena was packed, in the Main Event, Mask vs Mask - Zorro vs Zorro. (Joe Blanchard vs Hans Mortier)
I was a freshman in high school trying out for the Canyon Eagles High School Football Team. My father, Dory Funk, Sr. sent Zorro # 1 Joe Blanchard over to the "Good Guys" dressing room to give me some pointers on football.
Joe Blanchard was an All American Football Player from the University of Kansas. So now you know the lineage of his son, Tully Blanchard from West Texas State University.
In the dressing room that night, Joe talked to me about defense and use of hands and play recognition.
I will be looking forward to seeing Joe Blanchard at the NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend as He is inducted into the "Hall of Heroes" in Charlotte NC the weekend of Thursday through Sunday August 5 through August 8.
Dory Funk, Jr. is the coach of the Funking Conservatory Wrestling School and Trainer of WWE, TNA, NXT and Japanese Professional Wrestlers.
