Funk's Corner - Traveling to Japan for Competition

Osamu Nishimura, of Keiji Muto's All Japan Pro-Wrestling, told news paper reporters that All Japan is planning to bring Dory Funk to Japan for the Dory Funk's Memorial Match in All Japan in 2008, the line up is featuring Dory & Nishimura VS Keiji Muto & Kensuke Sasaki.
New Japan Pro-Wrestling used Dory's comments on wrestlers traveling to Japan to hype the Tokyo Dome show on 1/4.
***********************
Sunday November 11, "The War Machine" Rhino, "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels (Two wrestlers I have coached in their earlier careers) Senshi and Ron "The Truth" Killings will travel to Japan to take part in an intra-promotional war between the athletes of TNA and New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Rhino will face New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Yano.
Ron "The Truth" Killings will face Tiger Mask
Senshi and Christopher Daniels will face Minoru and Davitt.
My advice after making more than 70 trips to Japan as a professional wrestler and competing against Inoki, Sakaguchi, Tendru and Legends Jumbo Tsuruta and Giant Babe, my advice to the TNA Warriors is be prepared for the battle of your life.
Just the trip to Japan and the change in your biological clock from day time being night time and night time being day time can be hard to overcome.
There is another factor TNA Superstars will run into when going to Japan to perform. The Japanese People love to entertain. Even upon arrival usually in the evening when you have already been up for more than 24 hours you will be tempted with the bright lights and night life of Japan. All the while your opponents, Yano, Tiger Mask, Minoru and Davitt will be well rested trained and focused on their opportunity to prove their mettle in the ring against TNA's Superstars.
Even President George Bush Sr. experienced difficulty becoming ill after arriving in Japan for an important meeting with the Prime Minister of Japan.
My advice to my former students, Rhino and Christopher Daniels and to Senshi and Ron Killings is to keep your focus, drink plenty of water on the way over, get plenty of sleep and hold the party until after your performance then celebrate victory for TNA.

Championship Wrestling Experience returns to action live, Tuesday November 13th at The Wedge in Austintown, Ohio! Doors will open at 6 PM and the event will begin at 6:30. Tickets are available in advance for $10 at Havana House in Niles, online at http://www.championshipwrestlingonline.com, or on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/cweonline.
Tickets will be $12 at the door. The Wedge is located at 1743 S Raccoon Road, Austintown, Ohio 44515.
The Main Event signed for this show will be a No Hold's Barred match between Raymond Rowe and the undefeated Patrick Hayes. Rowe made an impact in his first appereance for the CWE in July when he defeated Sterling James Keenan. Hayes has been on a roll since January as has left everyone from Jason Gory to Apex Allen Amazing to Eddie Kingston to Johnny Gargano "Hazed and Confused". This will be an epic between these two like only the CWE can bring.
Also on the card is Johnny Gargano taking on the newly debuting Sami Callihan. "The New Horror", as Callihan likes to refer to himself, is one of the many talents vying for an opportunity with the CWE, and will get his chance to prove himself against a young man with limitless talent in Gargano. Johnny only has one blemish on his record, and he is looking to avenge that this Tuesday night!
The Cut Throat Crew will be making their debut as well this coming Tuesday. The pirates will be taking on a team of talented individuals in "Sweet" Lou Roberts and Jimmy DeMarco! All four of these men are competing for the first time in a CWE ring, but they all have had a great amount of success in other companies in the surrounding states.
Also on the card:
The Bouncer v Jack Frost
Max Alexander v "Syko" Sean Dahmer
Ryan Burke v "World Class" Kevin Bradway
Iron Justice v Benjamin Kimera and Justin Thomas
Hobo Joe v Bill Hyatt
Facade v "The Prodigy" Jon Kronica
Make sure to get your tickets in advance today, and check out http://www.championshipwrestlingonline.com and http://www.myspace.com/cweonline for more updates on the CWE and news on our One Year Anniversary show in January 2008!
