Jerry "Crusher" Blackwell and King Kong Bundy were two gigantic, overweight wrestlers who could move around the ring and put on a better show than most, including the 'roided up guys like Lugar and the Ultimate Warrier.. Both were good on the mic as well.

I will miss Bundy, he was great.

Really one of the best heels I ever saw. I don't think in his 20 year career, he ever had a face turn. I only remember him as a heel.

He was a face in World Class wrestling in Dallas when he started there, Georgia Championship Wrestling after splitting from Paul Ellering and the Legion of Doom, and the AWA before he went to the WWF, and was good in that role as well. But once he became a mainstream name, he never went back babyface. He was such a great personality though, he could've pulled it off easily for the WWF too if they'd ever have went that route.
