WRESTLING AND POLITICS: STILL THE SAME

By Dory Funk Jr. on 7/28/2010 2:30 PM
Funk's Corner - Nancy Pelosi, "Pass the bill to find out what is in it" Sounds like Pro-Wrestling Legislation.
 
Above is a quote from Nancy Pelosi. Things haven't changed in wrestling and politics.
 
Who knew what was in the bill? - I was In the office of Nick Gulas, Wrestling Promoter of the Tennessee Territory.

Nick Gulas said, "Look here Boy, Twenty seven members of the National Wrestling Alliance were in attendance at the last meeting in Las Vegas, all doing big business and making lots of money. Do you think any of those *#@!&* promoters will think to thank me that they can run their businesses and make all that money? Nick Gulas answered himself, "Not no but, Hell no!!"

"Do you know what this is?" Nick reached into his desk and pulled out some documents attached to a clipboard. "This is what allows all those *#@!&* promoters to be on television. Television is the life blood of our business."  

"In the days of Charles Van Doren and those *#@!&* quiz programs, The Sixty Four
Thousand Dollar Question and Twenty One, congress investigated what was going on in those *#@!&* television shows because people said they were rigged, Son, fixed!!! The contestants had the answers ahead of time!! When the public found out, there was a congressional investigation and they passed a law saying that anything that was produced on Television had to, in fact be true as presented.

Well son, I had a friend on the congressional committee that drew up the legislation, Senator Estes Kefauver. (Senator from Tennessee) I told him, "My God, If they pass legislation like that, It will kill the wrestling business! We can't tell the truth, Son. We'll all be out of business!!"
