NWA Champions Who Flopped In The WWF

Dory Funk Jr – The WWF changed his name to Hoss Funk shortly after arriving.  His stay was brief and lone highlight came in a tag victory with his brother Terry over JYD and Tito Santana at WrestleMania 2.  They then had him team up with a make-believe brother named Jimmy Jack Funk which quickly went nowhere before he left the WWF for good.

Harley Race – The 8-time NWA Heavyweight Champion was a legend and first ballot NWA Hall of Famer.  In the WWF, they slapped a Purple Crown and Robe on him, and made him job to Hulk Hogan and all his friends.

Terry Funk – With the small exception of a brief run with Cactus Jack in early 1998, Funk did nothing of note with the WWF in various runs with the company.
