Dory Funk Jr. recalled the late Jack Brisco, who died at age 68 on Monday. "He was terrific," Funk told Brian Fritz of AOL Fanhouse. "I knew him well as a person and a wrestler. There was nothing I enjoyed better than being in the ring with Jack. He brought so much credibility to wrestling. He was the champion for everybody."

"He was the ideal opponent for me and we wrestled over 400 times in about four years," remembers Funk. "He was a super athlete and a super nice guy. Everything that happened between him and me in the ring was terrific and a pleasure." To read the full story, visit Fanhouse.com.

Powell's POV: The story also features quotes from historian and WrestlingClassics.com's Mark Nulty, who was friends with Brisco. One can only assume that WWE will acknowledge Brisco's death on tonight's Raw.
