Press Release from the Funking Conservatory

Dory Funk Jr. vs Sabu with video from two camera angles, replays in slow motion
and stop action of the ball of fire and resulting explosion is now available on
"Video in Demand" at www.dory-funk.com.

If you can't stand violence or have a weak stomach, you may not want to see the
carnage. Parents are warned that underage children should not view the video.
****************************
RVD, Terry Funk, Mick Foley, Tommy Dreamer, Sandman and Sabu are headed to ECW's
One Night Stand.

By the very nature of what they are trying to accomplish and the thirst of the
Hardcore wrestling fans for violence, these wrestlers may go too far.

For example, Sabu came to the Funking Conservatory in the limelight of having
signed a contract with WWE / ECW division. He had a reputation to live up to. In
a small venue Sabu took things too far. Sabu threw a ball of fire in the face of
Dory Funk Jr. and there was a secondary explosion that detonated within inches
of Funk's eyes and physical damage to the retina of his right eye.

According to Funk he was blinded by the explosion and could smell the stench of
his own singed hair and burnt skin.

The complete video tape of this incident at the Funking Conservatory has now
been released by attorney Jimmy Gooding. Attorney Gooding's advice to Dory Funk
Jr. was to show the video and settle the issue in the ring. (Now available on
Video on Demand at www.dory-funk.com).

Sabu is wrestling at ECW's One Night Stand along with RVD, Terry Funk, Tommy
Dreamer, Mick Foley and the Sandman. Will someone take things too far? Will
there be another victim of the mysterious ball of fire? Has Ray Mysterio Gotten
involved in more than He can handle?

   About “An Evening with Johnny Valiant comedy show…”
   (Available for bookings worldwide):

   “He hugs his microphone, peers into the intimately situated crowd and sets
sail on a 90-minute one-man show that slices and dices his days as a
professional wrestler with animated humor and unexpected sensitivity:
fall-out-of-your-seat funny."
   (Kenny Herzog- Long Island Press)

   "Stuns like a side piledriver"
   (The Village Voice)

   "He is funny, prowling the stage and using his graying, 240-pound frame as a
comic prop. It's as if Spalding Gray had, at least for a few minutes, entered
the body of Jonathan Winters."
(Microsoft's Slate)

   "The one-man show serves as a confessional of sorts, an exorcism of the demons
one accumulates on the sleeper-hold circuit."
   (Time Out New York)

   “a knack for impersonating fellow wrestlers with a suitcase full of funny road
stories”
   Nick Zainno- Boston Globe

   "Johnny Valiant adds excitement to anything he performs in...he brings so
much...he is awesome."
   (Billy Merritt of Piledriver-- Upright Citizens Brigade Troop)

   "Funny Heartwarming, and very, very interesting. You had to be there. I did
not see anyone leave the place for even one of those 55 minutes. Riveting- glad
I was there."
   (Gary Heiderich WTFO Hotline)

   "Johnny was always one of the most outrageous characters as a wrestler. Now,
in standup, you don't want to mess with Johnny."
   (Fred Geobold, WBAI-FM Light Show NYC)

   "The people loved Johnny. Congratulations on a memorable evening."
   (Nick Oddo Documentary Filmmaker)

   "Johnny Valiant is hilarious and entertaining."

superstars as Cyndi Lauper, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Lloyd Price, Ultimate
Fighting ace Royce Gracie and wrestling champions Bruno Sammartino, Lou Thesz,
Verne Gagne, Fred Blassie, Eddie Guerrero, Killer Kowalski and innumerable other
greats. He also provided radio exposure to countless musicians, writers,
filmmakers, comedians and performance artists “deserving wider exposure.”

   With Evan Ginzburg’s Legends he continues the tradition. And with
actor-comedian “Luscious” Johnny Valiant popping in at any given moment,
virtually anything can and will happen.

welcomes Super Mario Brothers and Wise Guys star Lou Albano and his former
wrestling protégé Johnny Valiant for what will prove to be a memorable hour. And
the show will be archived throughout the entire week for your listening
convenience in the www.fantalklive.com archives.

   About “An Evening with Johnny Valiant comedy show…”
   (Available for bookings worldwide):

   “He hugs his microphone, peers into the intimately situated crowd and sets
sail on a 90-minute one-man show that slices and dices his days as a
professional wrestler with animated humor and unexpected sensitivity:
fall-out-of-your-seat funny."
   (Kenny Herzog- Long Island Press)

   "Stuns like a side piledriver"
   (The Village Voice)

   "He is funny, prowling the stage and using his graying, 240-pound frame as a
comic prop. It's as if Spalding Gray had, at least for a few minutes, entered
the body of Jonathan Winters."
(Microsoft's Slate)

   "The one-man show serves as a confessional of sorts, an exorcism of the demons
one accumulates on the sleeper-hold circuit."
   (Time Out New York)

   “a knack for impersonating fellow wrestlers with a suitcase full of funny road
stories”
   Nick Zainno- Boston Globe

   "Johnny Valiant adds excitement to anything he performs in...he brings so
much...he is awesome."
   (Billy Merritt of Piledriver-- Upright Citizens Brigade Troop)

   "Funny Heartwarming, and very, very interesting. You had to be there. I did
not see anyone leave the place for even one of those 55 minutes. Riveting- glad
I was there."
   (Gary Heiderich WTFO Hotline)

   "Johnny was always one of the most outrageous characters as a wrestler. Now,
in standup, you don't want to mess with Johnny."
   (Fred Geobold, WBAI-FM Light Show NYC)

   "The people loved Johnny. Congratulations on a memorable evening."
   (Nick Oddo Documentary Filmmaker)

   "Johnny Valiant is hilarious and entertaining."
   (Nelson Torres WTF TV NYC)
