Swampy’s ‪#‎Florida‬ was at the Dory Funk Arena where, even at 74, Dory Funk, Jr. still wrestles.

Only heard about him on Thursday and that his training and competitive arena is in a warehouse area of Ocala. So I tore out of Pioneer Days and raced to a special wrestling bout helping to raise funds for the Special Olympics.

Got a chance to meet Funk and hear a couple neat stories of him growing up along Lake Panasofkee in the 1950s. Looking forward to meeting and speaking with him again soon!
