Also, at this time Angelo Mosca has taken over as the booker for Jim Crockett Promotions, so Dory’s place in the promotion was becoming lower as Mosca put Dory in teams with either himself or his son Angelo Jr., but that would change in March as Dory turned on Angelo Jr. during a tag match with Ivan Koloff & Don Kernodle. Funk turned heel and took Gary Hart on as his manager and a few weeks later he shoved “NWA representative” Sandy Scott during an interview and Dory was suspended for a couple of months, but then a mysterious masked man named “The Outlaw” entered and you know the rest. “The Outlaw” defeated Angelo Mosca Jr. for the Mid-Atlantic Title on May 12^th 1984 and held the title and held it for a month and a ½ before losing it back to Mosca on June 27^th. In July, Dory left JCP and returned to Florida and stayed there on and off for the rest of the year, then in January 1985, Dory returned to Jim Crockett Promotions and became a member of J.J. Dillon’s stable, but he would only hang around for a couple of months. Dory then became a freelancer until he signed with the WWF in 1986.
