WWE Hall of Famer Dory Funk, Jr. is currently being sued. He and his wife, Marti Funk, are involved in three cases involving their pro wrestling school, the Funking Conservatory. Two of the cases are from former students involving a breach of their contracts. The other is from a former sponsor over breach of contract as well.
The school, located in Ocala, FL, has also been involved with Marion County Sheriff's Department. The complaints were over not notifying audience members, who brought children, that a registered sex offender works shows at the Funking Conservatory. The convicted sex offender, Wesley Dockemeyer, also trains wrestlers at the school working under the names Damien Steele and Fushicho Masuku.
The police warned the Funks about not informing the public that a registered sex offender is working in an entertainment venue, but the Funks had Dockemeyer wear a different costume and mask instead, temporarily changing his name to El Diablo Negro. The Funking Conservatory's next show is on January 21st. WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler will be at the show working with Wesley Dockemeyer as Fushicho Masuku.
