King Kong Bundy

One of my favorites back in the day. I wonder if we can get Dolph to read the obit and give a 5 count (not 3)
Like many pro wrestlers, he was bitter and hateful towards his peers in retirement. I’m not an insider in the WWE, but based on the shoot interviews I’ve watched, pro wrestling appears to be a cruel business consisting of egomaniacs, backstabbers and unstable, chemically altered alpha males. Makes for some great interviews!
RIP
Saw on Twitter that someone posted the old newspaper clip of him being named 2nd team conference Heayweight for his New Jersey high school. I know he mentioned in interviews he was never a pro wrestling fan growing up because he wrestled amateur and couldn't take it seriously. An entertaining guy inside and outside the ring. His Married with Children cameos were great.

LOL. Ah, the good old days...when someone would wear the tag King Kong proudly and no one was offended.
Luke Perry was ten years younger, skinny and seemingly in good health. Died of a stroke. Moral of the story...live like King Kong B.
Seemingly in good health but rumored to have drug issues changes that to who knows?
It's 2019. You can't refer to him as King Kong. Please use his real first name: Ted.
I can't speak for King Kong Bundy but many of the professional wrestlers that have died early over the years can probably associate years of steroid, alcohol and drug abuse to their untimely deaths.. Back in the 70's, 80's, and even well into the 90's; steroid and drug use were not managed in the ranks of professional wrestling.
Yep... just for the hell of it, I did a search of pro wrestlers that have died in the last decade and many of them were in the early 40s/50s. Hell, even Miss Elizabeth died from alcohol/drug abuse. She was only 42/43, IIRC.
Little tribute and laugh for Bundy before Big Tens? Wht not?
I've never figured out how to link stuff on my phone so maybe one of you more smarter guys can help here.
If you google" Holding Court With A King Christopher Pallies " funny artcle.
Plus Little Beaver vs King Kong video is worth a good laugh. The move called the Row Boat by the lttle people cracked me up and Jesse Ventura at his finest. Funny stuff.

Most likely more the booze and pills than the anabolics, but they're all going to add up to a problem sooner than later the more of each category you do.
It seems most folks fall under the “it’s fake” line of thinking in regard to pro wrestling. And they’re right. At least as far as punches, kicks and chokes go. Where the business is painfully real is in the jumps, lifts, throws, falls and impacts. Especially when factored into a schedule that adds up to months on the road eith very little rest between shows. All things considered, there’s no athletic career that comes close to matching the brutality of professional wrestling.
I would guess there aren't too many 450 lbers living into their 70's & 80's.
Bundy was the first person to smash a little beaver live on PPV
“That little guy got what was coming to him”.
I love the non PC names of the 80s. Little Beaver and Haiti Kid vs Little Tokyo and Lord Littlebrook. Lol.
Looks like little Kong wants a piece of Bundy .Lol
He actually was. Back injury that ended his career.I am sure little beaver is seriously injured.
Not to be confused with King Kong Mosca who is still alive (82) and hopefully well. KKM wasnt pushing 4 bills though.
Met him at a charity show in 2003 or 04. He was a wrestling as a good guy that night, so we got to see how funny and personable he was . RIP in that great big Steel Cage in the beyond.
