In 1986, Dory (given the nickname "Hoss") made his WWF debut in a team alongside his brother Terry. The brothers performed at WrestleMania 2, defeating the Junkyard Dog and Tito Santana. Terry left the WWF shortly after WrestleMania, but Dory remained, mostly tagging with storyline brother Jimmy Jack Funk, who in truth had no relation to the Funk family.
He made an appearance for WCW at Slamboree 1993: A Legends Reunion, wrestling Nick Bockwinkel to a time limit draw.
In 1994, Funk made his debut for Extreme Championship Wrestling, where he reunited with Terry. They feuded with The Public Enemy during Dory's stay in ECW. On June 26, they teamed up with Tommy Dreamer to defeat Hack Meyers and Public Enemy on ECW Hardcore TV. They lost to Public Enemy at ECW Heat Wave 1994 in a no rope barbed wire match. Dory returned to ECW on September 27, 1997, losing to ECW Champion Shane Douglas.
He made a single appearance with the WWF once again as a participant in the 1996 Royal Rumble.
On the February 16, 2009 episode of Raw, it was announced that Dory along with his brother Terry would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2009 by Dusty Rhodes.
