Funk’s Corner – Skandor Akbar / (Jim Wehba)

06/22, 1980 – Tulsa, OK Dory Funk, Jr., Andre The Giant & Brian Blair beat James J. Dillon, The Spoiler & Skandor Akbar.

My friend Dick Murdoch was on the card. It was always fun to be around Dick Murdoch. In the dressing room Dick told me, “You see Skandor over there. Skandor knows everything there is to know about Texas High School Football. Just try him out Dory, go over there and ask him any question about Texas High School Football, Skandor is a walking history book on Texas High School Football.”

I had known Skandor Akbar as the man with the Middle Eastern name, a wrestling heel with a West Texas Accent. I walked across the dressing room and asked some of what I thought would be difficult questions for Skandor.

Who was the leading scorer in the state of Texas who played for the Phillips Blackhawks in 1954? Skandor responded, “His name was Meek, first name Don.”

Who was the All State receiver for Wellington, Texas in 1957? “Jerry Elbert.”

What was my number while playing for the Canyon High School Eagles in 1957? Surprisingly Akbar recalled my high school number, 71.

Okay Skandor, What was the score when Canyon High School lost to the Stamford Indians in Regional Playoffs in Childress, Texas in 1956? “I believe Stamford won that game 42 to 13.”

Who played halfback for the Stamford Indians and went on to become an All American in College? “Mike McClellan.”

Who was the All State halfback for the Amarillo Golden Sandstorm When they lost Abilene, Texas in the State Championship in 1957? “David Russel.”

Who played tight end for the State Champion Abilene Eagles in 1957? “Well Dory that was one of your friends at West Texas State University, Jim Perry.”

Who won the Greenbelt Bowl All-star Game in Childress, Texas in 1958? “Dory you played in the game, The North won.”

Who won the Sodbusters, City Slickers All Star Game in Amarillo, Texas in 1958? “You Sodbusters lost to the City Slickers.”

Who was the coach of the Philips Black Hawks in 1954? “Chesty Walker”

How many consecutive games did he win while coaching there? “Dory, Chesty Walker set the record in Texas High School Football with 55 in a row.”

I was amazed. All I could say was, “Skandor, You are Awesome!. Skandor was awesome also as a man and a friend in the wrestling business.

Real Name – Jim Wehba.

Thank you, Jim for the good times,

Rest in Pease.

My condolences to the family of Jim Wehba / Skandor Akbar

!BANG! TV Report – “Real American !BANG! Brawl
Now on !BANG! TV – In an episode of “The Pencil” Coach of the Funking Conservatory Dory Funk Jr. gathers participating athletes in the next !BANG! TV Taping for a “Contract Signing.”
The atmosphere turns explosive. The Wasilla Wrecker, Rachel Moore, Claudia, “The Claw” Reiff and Cassie Crush release a barrage of insults at each other.
The combination of Fushicho Masuku (The Immortal Mask) and Chris “Pain Train” Mayfield become uncontrollable when sitting face to face with their opponents, Luke Spencer and Mad Dog Madetzke.
Shane Chung is too abrasive and Jordan Vinson too insincere for Jose Salinas to put up with.
The end result of this attempt at accomplishing the signing of contracts for this Saturday’s !BANG! TV production of Support Your Troops 55, American !BANG! Brawl turns into it’s namesake, a Real American !BANG! Brawl.

Funk’s Corner – NWA Wrestling Fanfest in Charlotte North Carolina

My thanks to Greg Price for NWA Wrestling Fanfest Weekend in Charlotte North Carolina.

It was my honor to induct Joe Blanchard into the Hall of Heroes. Joe played football and wrestled for Kansas State University in the early 50s. In Joe’s senior year, they played and defeated Nebraska. What legendary wrestler was playing for Nebraska at the time? (Answer Below)

Professional wrestling today and the glory days of the National Wrestling Alliance, is there a difference?
