According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, pro wrestling legend Dory Funk Jr., who is 83 years of age, is set to compete in a match in Japan next month for Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling.
The report also mentioned that the show will pay tribute to Terry Funk, Dory Jr.’s brother.
Dory will team with Osamu Nishimura to face Atsushi Onita and a mystery partner in tag team action. Onita has said he wants it to be an “explosive death match,” but a stipulation has not been named yet. The match was originally supposed to be a 6-Man Tag Team Match, with Onita and two partners vs. Funk, Nishimura, and a partner; however, the promotion made a significant change and went with a tag team match instead.
The city of Kawasaki will sponsor the event in Japan next month as part of its 100-year celebration.
