STW - King Kong Bundy [Show Notes] (Patreon)

King Kong Bundy

The Walking Condominium. Devastation himself. Just some of the names used to describe Christopher Alan Pallies, better known as King Kong Bundy. Billed as 458 pounds from Atlantic City, New Jersey, the man behind the character was born on November 7, 1955 in Woodbury, New Jersey, where he grew up with two sisters and three brothers.  Young Chris Pallies attended Washington Township High School in Sewell, New Jersey, where he was a heavyweight wrestler on the team, winning two regional titles. His brother, Jeff, also wrestled, which likely made both of them even more competitive. Bundy graduated in 1973.

Bundy was trained to wrestle at the “Monster Factory” in Bellmawr, New Jersey by Larry Sharpe. He debuted on March 7, 1981 while wrestling for the World Wrestling Federation. An ironic story is that his first-ever match, as Chris Canyon, was a house show loss to S.D. Jones in Baltimore on March 7, 1981.

In 1982, the big man relocated to Texas to join World Class Championship Wrestling, around the time the company was changing their branding from Big Time Wrestling. It was there the Von Erich family developed him into “Big Daddy Bundy” - after Shirley Crabtree (wrestler)’s nickname, “Big Daddy.” He started as a babyface, with a full head of hair.

Did you ever see King Kong Bundy with a full head of hair?

Bundy was recruited by "Playboy" Gary Hart and dramatically reintroduced as "King Kong Bundy", with the "Big Daddy" portion of his moniker replaced by the name of cinematic monster, King Kong, wearing the black singlet for the first time to signify his change. He lost his hair during the feud, adding to his signature look and heel presence.

How important do you think Bundy going bald was for his career? Could he have done it with hair?

The Fritz Von Erich Retirement Show was a major professional wrestling show held by World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) at the Texas Stadium on June 4, 1982. As the name indicates the show marked Fritz Von Erich's retirement from active in ring competition after 29 years of active competition. In the main event Fritz Von Erich defeated King Kong Bundy to win the NWA American Heavyweight Championship. After the match Von Erich vacated the American Heavyweight Championship.

That seems like a big deal to be the guy to retire Fritz Von Erich. Why do you think Bundy got that spot?

After WCCW, Bundy competed for a time with the NWA. He was a key figure in the famous build for the December 25, 1982, Flair vs. Kerry Von Erich cage match for the NWA title at Reunion Arena. He later went to the AWA, where he used the name Boom Boom Bundy. It was because Bruiser Brody couldn’t be Bruiser Brody out of deference to Dick the Bruiser, so he became King Kong Brody. And out of deference to him, Bundy couldn’t be King Kong Bundy.

He also worked in Mid-South Wrestling. It was in Mid-South when he began using the gimmick where he would call for...The Five Count. Instead of the referee counting to three, the referee would count to five - showing he dominated his opponent. He attributed the idea to Bill Watts, although it was actually Jim Ross, while working for Watts, who came up with the idea.

“That way, when Bundy beats you...you know you’re defeated.” - Bundy on TNT

What did you think of the five count? Is that something we could see again someday?

In early 1985, Bundy made several appearances with New Japan Pro Wrestling/World Wrestling Federation co-promoted shows. But he made his official debut in the WWE on March 16, 1985 on Championship Wrestling, defeating Mario Mancini. Bundy was managed by The Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart, at first. Bundy spent a little time in Memphis and the two knew each other from there. He brought with him the five-count gimmick and wrestled mainly squash matches where he dominated his opponents.

While appearing on TNT during this time, Vince McMahon described him as, “One of the most impressive athletes I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Talk about a glowing endorsement! Do you know what might have impressed Vince about Bundy?

Let’s talk about his finishing move - the Avalanche. Also called a “Body Avalanche,” it’s specifically described as a body press where the wrestler charges into an opponent in the ring corner and - without leaving their feet - crushes them into the turnbuckle. The big difference between that and a Stinger splash is in the Stinger splash, the attacker jumps into the corner.

Basically, it’s Bundy running into you in the corner. And that should have been pretty safe, right? Not exactly. There were stories upon stories of Bundy hurting people, including with this move.

Why do you think the Avalanche was the right finishing move for King Kong Bundy?

Let’s talk about Wrestlemania 1 and Bundy’s role in the historic event. He is remembered for winning the shortest match in WrestleMania history, at the time, when he mauled S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones in what was announced as only nine seconds at WrestleMania. The actual time clocks in at 23 seconds from bell to bell. Bundy charges Jones into the corner with a bear hug that looks pretty stuff. Then he hits the Avalanche and a big splash, getting the pin.

It seems like during this time, the company was building up this guy as a monster. Do you think the plan was in Vince’s mind to make Bundy a future challenger to Hulk?

We often hear all about the partying and nightlife of the 1980s. While Bundy was obviously in the middle of the hottest period in wrestling, he apparently wasn’t much of a partier. Hillbilly Jim said he was not very social on the night scene. He sort of did his own thing.

Is that the impression of Bundy that you’ve heard?

In September 1985, Hart traded Bundy to manager Bobby Heenan in exchange for Adrian Adonis and The Missing Link.

Back in the 80s, manager trades were a big deal in wrestling. Managers would trade or even sell wrestlers, like to Ted Dibiease by Bobby the Brain. It was a deep kayfabe that made it seem like there was more going on in the wrestling business than the traditional fan knew about.

Do you miss that?

Why do you think the company put the Brain with Bundy instead of the Mouth?

After joining the Heenan Family, Bundy feuded extensively with André the Giant, a feud which started during an angle where Bundy interfered in one of André's matches and delivered several splashes, giving the Giant a kayfabe broken sternum.

On September 23, 1985, Bundy faced André the Giant at Madison Square Garden in a match billed as "the Colossal Jostle". André dominated the match, with the match ending after Big John Studd came from the locker rooms to Bundy's aid and attacked the Giant, causing a disqualification.

There were stories that Andre was notorious for disliking other big-man wrestlers and apparently, Bundy managed to rub the BOSS the wrong way. In an interview, King Kong Bundy said he always believed that Andre didn’t like him over what Andre perceived to be disrespect after a match. Bundy claims after a match, he patted Andre on the back and joked he was ready for the Garden and Andre didn’t take too well to that. Other stories indicated Andre found him to be ‘arrogant.’

If the Giant didn’t like you...even if you’re King Kong Bundy...there’s not much you could do, right?

The two would clash on October 3, 1985 at Saturday Nights Main Event II, which aired two days later on NBC drawing an 8.3 rating (Jesus). Andre the Giant and Tony Atlas defeated King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd by DQ in 4:26 that night.

At the third Saturday Night’s Main Event, on October 31 and airing November 2, 1985, Hulk Hogan teamed up with Andre the Giant to defeat King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd by disqualification in 8 minutes. That event drew a 6.3 rating.

By this point, Bundy was a fixture on the big NBC shows. Why do you think that was?

On Saturday Night's Main Event V, Bundy won a squash match in 43 seconds but his most memorable moment of the night was yet to come. Hogan was wrestling Don Muraco when he was ambushed by Bundy and his manager, Bobby “The 🧠” Heenan, thus setting up a feud between Hogan and Bundy. Hogan "required medical attention" from the beating sustained at the hands of the three.

In Hulk Hogan's WWE-published autobiography, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Hogan claimed he did in fact, receive minor injuries from the incident. Because Bundy had to hit him full force to make it look real, and because Muraco held his arms, Hogan couldn't protect himself. As a result, Hogan said that all his ribs popped in the same way that one might normally pop their knuckles, with the pain causing Hogan to legitimately black out. Hogan also said that he was diagnosed at the hospital with minor hairline fractures of his ribs.

If you go back and watch the segment, Bundy hits the Avalanche three times. But the first time, he hits Hogan with such force that the ring post visibly moved.

https://youtu.be/6jXkhxJ9Sw0

Would that have gotten the big man heat? Seems likely, if you’re hurting Hulk in the mid-80s.

With revenge on his mind, Hogan decided not to heed his doctor's advice and accepted the challenge; a match was then booked between the two in a steel cage for the WWF title.

On Monday, April 7, the only Wrestlemania until 2020 not to be on Sunday was held. Wrestlemania 2 took place in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Each location had it’s own card but the overall main event of the entire show was Hulk Hogan defending his championship belt against King Kong Bundy...in a SALAD STEEL CAGE.

It’s kind of interesting to picture it this way, but it was Hulk vs. King Kong in 1986.

Do you think that played any role, at all, in the desire to book this main event by Vince?

In the match, Hulk defeated Bundy in 11:00 to retain the WWF title.

In an old Observer that looked like it was printed on papyrus, Meltzer wrote, “I wonder if they paid Hogan time-and-a-half for going more than 9:00? They used a Calgary cage (much easier to climb than the normal cyclone fence cage used in pro wrestling) flown in to allow Hulk to climb it without taxing his incredible athletic prowess. In fact, the crew to set up the cage was also flown in from Calgary (Hart family) - maybe that gives you an indication of the unnecessary spending they did for this show. Anyway, Bundy bled and didn’t do a good job of it either. The match was slow and piddling and in-all, pretty bad but what you can expect from two overweight pacaderms from Titan Sports. Hulk did powerslam Bundy at the end. * ¼

Do you think the Wrestlemania 2 main event was a disappointment? Or was the show such a colossal clusterfuck that no one focused on it?

Later in 1986, Bundy reformed his tag-team partnership with Studd and began a feud with The Machines, Bill Eadie and Blackjack Mulligan wrestling under masks (as the Super Machine and Big Machine, respectively) and often joined by Andre the Giant (as the Giant Machine). The story-line was that Bundy and Studd, along with Heenan, claimed that the Giant Machine was a masked Andre the Giant, and was competing under the mask and alias to circumvent an earlier suspension (due to no-showing for an event), but none of them ever proved that Andre and the Giant Machine were one and the same. Eventually, Bundy and Studd began teaming up with Heenan in a series of six-man tag team matches against the Machines (usually, Big and Super; as Andre's health was starting to deteriorate at this time, the Giant Machine made occasional appearances, but more often than not, it was either Captain Lou Albano or a number of popular faces—often, Hogan, Roddy Piper and others—who teamed with the other Machines). Bundy and Studd were regularly beaten, but won their last match over the Super-Big version of the Machines at Madison Square Garden.

Also in the latter half of 1986, Bundy and Studd received shots at the WWF Tag Team Championship against The British Bulldogs, but were unsuccessful, often losing by disqualification. Studd left the WWF shortly after their last match with the Machines, and Bundy went back to singles competition.

If Studd had stayed, do you think he and Bundy might have developed into a strong tag team combination?

Bundy was a stiff wrestler, according to Hogan, Hillbilly Jim, and evening in his second WWE run, Duke Droese.

At Saturday Night’s Main Event X, airing March 14, King Kong Bundy defeated Jake The Snake Roberts by DQ in 6:14.

Wrestlemania 3 was the biggest audience Bundy performed in front of. It was a huge deal - and also, a big controversy. Toward the end of the bout, he delivers a legitimate, hard body slam to Little Beaver. He followed that up with an elbow drop, which the small athlete sold. But Little Beaver’s back was legitimately hurt and this was his last match.

There have always been stories of heat on Bundy for not taking care of Little Beaver. What did you hear about that when you arrived in the company, if anything?

Let’s take a detour for a second...

Just a few days after Wrestlemania III, a new television show debuted on the Fox Broadcasting Network, funny enough. It was a little show you may have heard of. Married...with Children. The show, which ended up running for eleven seasons, revolved around Al Bundy and his family of Bundys. And that name was chosen in honor of King Kong Bundy. Apparently, the producers of the show were fans of his because King Kong Bundy appeared on the show two different times:

In season 2, he played Uncle Irwin, a friendly, but dimwitted man who constantly forgets things. He is admired by Bud, who constantly asks his uncle if he would run his head into something. He promises that he would only if Bud is good. Al eventually becomes fed up with Peggy's relatives and takes out a gun to kill them, until it is revealed that the majority of the episode was just a dream. After Al wakes up, Peggy reveals that her relatives are coming over, with Irwin smashing the front door with his head to reveal that they have arrived.

In season 10, he plays himself, where he is in town to wrestle Captain Ecology at WrestlePalooza. He eventually defeats Bud, which leaves him badly injured and missing a tooth.

Did you ever watch Married...With Children? Did you see Bundy’s appearances? What’s it say about his place in pop culture in the 80s?

An interesting note around this time, too. In 1987, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out was released for the NES. The character King Hippo seems to be awfully similar to King Kong Bundy. Maybe an homage? Who knows.

At the 1987 King of the Ring on September 4, Bundy made it to the finals of the King of the Ring tournament by defeating One Man Gang, SD Jones, and receiving a BYE but his night ended in the finals, where he was defeated by Randy Savage.

Why were these old King of the Ring events never broadcast or taped? (Or were they?!!)

At Saturday Night’s Main Event XII, Bundy, with Andre in his corner, defeated Paul Orndorff, managed by Oliver Humperdink, in 8 minutes.

Bundy played a big part of the inaugural Survivor Series event in 1987, participating in the main event on Andre the Giant’s team along with One Man Gang, Butch Reed and Rick Rude. They faced, and defeated, Hulk Hogan’s team that included Paul Orndorff, Don Muraco, Ken Patera, and Bam Bam Bigelow. Hogan was eliminated after he slammed Gang and Bundy on the outside but was counted out. Hogan does a legitimate body slam on Bundy here on the floor, too, which is impressive. Bundy would be eliminated by Bigelow who hit the move he was using at the time, a slingshot splash into the ring.

It’s so crazy to think of Hulk Hogan losing in this era. Was this to give the Giant his win back from Wrestlemania III? What do you think was the idea behind Andre winning?

On the Nov. 28, 1987 SNME, King Kong Bundy headlined against Hulk Hogan for the WWE title. But as a surprise, Andre was in Bundy’s corner but was ejected after interfering by grabbing Hogan’s leg. How about this: Bundy won the match! But it was by count out when The Brain held Hogan’s leg while he tried to climb back in!

During 1987, Bundy claimed in shoot interviews he wasn’t being paid too well, compared to what he deserved. He took a job with a Dutch computer company to do an ad for HeadStart computers. He said he thought it was an overseas ad and no one would see it. Well, it was aired all over the US. He said when Vince saw it, he flipped and was extremely angry. Bundy felt like that was career suicide. He said after the ad, McMahon treated him differently.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUMzmYobrtg

Do you recall ever hearing about Bundy getting heat with the office for appearing in an ad without permission, maybe?

Jan 2, 1988 SNME was headlined by Bundy vs. Hulk Hogan once again for the WWE Championship. Bundy-Mania (Bund-a-Mania as Hogan calls it) is challenging Hulkamania but there’s a special stipulation. Andre the Giant was officially in the corner of Bundy for the match, in place of Bobby the Brain. Hulk beat Bundy with a leg drop and a 69-pin. Then Andre attacked him and choked him while half of the baby face locker room failed to pull him off. This was the setup for the Andre/Hogan rematch on The Main Event I, which was what caused the belt to be vacated for Wrestlemania 4.

That was the last time Bundy appeared on a Saturday Night’s Main Event. Why do you think that was? Had the character run its course for the time or did he maybe upset some folks along the way?

Although no longer appearing on the WWE's syndicated TV shows, Bundy continued to wrestle house shows in early 1988 (often losing to Bam Bam Bigelow); his last match during his initial WWF run was a televised match at Madison Square Garden in February 1988, teaming up with One Man Gang in a loss to Don Muraco and The Ultimate Warrior.

After leaving the WWE in 1988, Bundy went into semi-retirement, wrestling only a handful of matches.

Why did Bundy leave the company? He seemed to feel like Vince viewed him differently...

Since he was gone from the WWE, there was nothing stopping Bundy from appearing in more ads for HeadStart computers. So, he did, throughout 1988 and 1989.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMD7jmrCKeY

In 1988, he also appeared in the Richard Pryor film Moving as Gorgo, part of a trio of ex-cons who are insolent and careless movers.

Now, when we talked about doing a show on King Kong Bundy...did you think we would end up talking about ECW?

Bundy was in the main event of the very first ECW November to Remember show. It was on November 13, 1993 from the ECW Arena in Philadelphia. The main event was a Winner Takes All tag team match, in which the Heavyweight Champion Sabu teamed with Road Warrior Hawk to take on the Television Champion Terry Funk and his mystery partner, with Sabu putting his Heavyweight Championship and Funk putting his Television Championship on the line. King Kong Bundy was revealed to be Funk's mystery tag team partner. During the match, Bundy turned on Funk by hitting him with an Avalanche, allowing Sabu to pin Funk with a small package to retain the Heavyweight Championship and win Funk's Television Championship.

That was Bundy’s only appearance in ECW.

Could you imagine Bundy doing extreme matches?

What might Terry Funk have said about being backstabbed by King Kong Bundy?

On May 13, 1994, Bundy defeated Papa Shango at NWA New Jersey. In the summer of 1994, he made a couple of appearances for the United States Wrestling Association.

Bundy returned to the WWF in the fall of 1994, defeating an unknown at a WWE show on August 20 at Conners Ice Rink in Stamford. On October 1, vignettes began airing promoting the return of Bundy to TV. They portrayed him as a King Kong-like giant walking through the streets of New York, climbing the Empire State Building, and swatting airplanes! Another vignette, which is really creative, showed an event center style segment with an announcer talking about his return. You hear huge footsteps and Bundy picks up the set with his hand, zooming out to him holding a miniature and roaring.

Were you involved in the making of these segments? What did Bundy think about this?

Bundy returned as a member of Ted DiBiase's stable, The Million Dollar Corporation, on October 8. From there, he would pick up wins in mostly squash style matches until mid-November. One of the matches he worked would be against a young Jeff Hardy on an episode of the Action Zone.

Bundy worked a series of matches against WWE Champion Bret Hart that November, losing.

But he once again had a successful pay-per-view match at the Survivor Series, when he and fellow "Million Dollar Team" member Bam Bam Bigelow survived a match against Lex Luger's "Guts and Glory" team. So a fun piece of trivia: Bundy defeated Real American Hulk Hogan and American Made Lex Luger at different Survivor Series events.

How was Bundy’s run with the company going at this point, several months in?

I ask that question because at the Monday Night Raw taping on November 28 from Pughkeepsie, new WWE Champion Diesel pinned Bundy in 15 seconds with a boot to the face.

Was that just to push Diesel or was Bundy in the dog house again?

Toward the end of 94 and beginning of 95, Bundy began working angles where he attacked the Undertaker at live events. At the 1995 Royal Rumble, The Undertaker pinned IRS (w/ Ted Dibiase); after the bout, druids attacked the Undertaker, which he quickly fought off before King Kong Bundy came to the ring; moments later, with Taker distracted by Bundy, IRS attacked Paul Bearer from behind and stole the urn; Bundy then assaulted Taker with a series of elbow drops and splashes. Later that night, Bundy was billed a favorite in the Rumble match itself, but lasted only three minutes before being eliminated by another big man, Mabel.

Can you talk about the thought that was put into starting this feud, which would culminate at Wrestlemania? Was it just a situation where the Million Dollar Corporation was feuding with Taker and Bundy was the latest challenger?

During some interesting matches in January and February, Bundy wrestled against Mabel in “over-the-top-rope matches.” It’s just like it sounds. Mabel won one of the matches and Bundy, with help from the Corporation, won the other.

Bundy made his return to WrestleMania at WrestleMania XI, where he was defeated by the Undertaker at 6:40 with a boot to the face, a bodyslam, and a flying clothesline after sustaining the Avalanche. Early in the match, Taker regained possession of the urn from Dibiase, then gave it to Bearer; moments later, Kama came ringside and quickly re-stole the urn on behalf of Dibiase; on his way backstage, Jim Ross interviewed Kama, who said he would melt down the urn, which he did into a gold chain. The Taker/Corporation feud would continue.

But this match was voted by readers of the Observer, overwhelmingly, as the worst match on the card. Meltzer hated it, giving it HALF of a star.

Did this match shit the bed? What did Vince think about it and what did you think? Did this effectively kill Bundy’s return?

Later in the night, Bundy would appear again in the main event of a Wrestlemania - this side on the outside of the ring in Bam Bam Bigelow’s corner. Bundy was part of the Million Dollar Team against Lawrence Taylor’s All Pro Team.

Bundy’s next big match was against Shawn Michaels in a King of the Ring qualifying match on May 22’s Monday Night Raw where Shawn pinned Bundy with the superkick at about 8 minutes. By June, Bundy was doing jobs to Adam Bomb on house shows. He appeared on July 23 as a lumberjack at the second In Your House. On Superstars on September 2, Bundy held Henry Godwinn while Dibiase prepared to slop him. Instead, Godwinn moved and Bundy was slopped.

At this point, there seemed to be no plans for Bundy, right?

His last TV match was in a 20-man-battle royal on the October 23 Monday Night Raw. His last TV appearance was on a Superstars taping October 24, but airing November 4, 1995, in the corner of Psycho Sid. Bundy’s last match in the WWE was on October 29, 1995 at a live show teaming with Kama in a losing effort against The Smoking Gunns.

Do you remember anything about his decision to leave the company the second time?

Bundy talked about how he thought champions like HBK and Bret Hart ruined wrestling in that they were too small. He didn’t seem to have a good experience during this run. What went wrong?

Bundy stayed active, though. In 1996, he appeared on an episode of Weird Science as himself. Bundy also had a short stint in stand-up comedy.

Was Bundy a funny guy backstage?

In April 1997, he resurfaced in magazines when he joined a faction managed by Kenny Casanova called "Camp Casanova" along with "Danger" Dave DeJohn and the Masked Maniac in USWF, NBW, and USA Power Pro Wrestling. In a match against "the Seven Foot Tall" Primo Canera III, Bundy knee-dropped his opponent and then "Bundy-splashed" him. The impact actually broke the ring, leaving the two grapplers in a pit in the center of the squared circle. This was picked up by Pro Wrestling Illustrated.

His feuds against "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, Doink the Clown, and Tom Brandi were among many main events in the northeast independent circuit. In 1999, at the Kolf Arena in Oshkosh, Wisconsin he won the AWA Superstars of Wrestling Heavyweight Championship from Jonnie Stewart. Later that same year, Bundy wrestled again headlining an AWA "Super Event" at the Dee Events Center in Ogden, Utah and losing a "body-slam match" to Koszmar Polski who was managed by Ken Patera.

Bundy still wrestled across the country, primarily in the Southern and Eastern United States. He generally continued to be a headliner and a crowd favorite at all events he attended. His last match is thought to have been at the Legends of Wrestling Show at the Pulaski County Fair in Somerset, Kentucky in 2007. Bundy lost to "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan in that main event.

In May 2007, Bundy announced his retirement from professional wrestling.

Was there ever any consideration about bringing him back in for a third run before he retired?

His name surfaced again after that as part of the class-action concussion lawsuit against WWE, which was thrown out of court

On March 4, 2019, King Kong Bundy passed away at the age of 63 from complications from diabetes. He had been active on Twitter pretty regularly, including up to shortly before his death, furthering the shock wrestling fans experienced from the news. WWE acknowledged Bundy’s death with a graphic on television but no video or mention during Smackdown, which aired the day after his death. New Japan did a ten bell salute to Bundy in the ring prior to their anniversary show.

Bundy was a cat person. When he passed away, he had 10 cats a local animal shelter had to work to rehome. Paige, Prada, Pat, and Geo were some of their names.

So, if you’re feeling nice, maybe adopt a cat in his honor!

What do you think King Kong Bundy’s legacy will be remembered as?

Questions

Wrestlemaniac asks...In the early to mid 2000’s there always seemed to be an influx of old legends coming in for one off matches or segments. Was it ever discussed in that era to bring in Bundy for a match or segment that you can think of?

Joe asks...Does any other person in the business look like more of a thumb than King Kong Bundy?

ABC171 asks. Mick Foley said he dropped Manson from Cactus Jack because of Charles Manson. Any similar worries that Bundy would make people think of Ted Bundy? Also the producers of Married with Children said they used the last name Bundy because of King Kong, did they need permission

(Great question because in 1989, Ted Bundy was put to death)

Mark asks...Has Bruce ever met any of the cast of 'Married with Children', and if so, were they cool?

Raymon asks...Was anyone else considered besides Bundy for Hogan at Wrestlemania 2?

(I know it’s before your time but there’s a rumor posted by Brian Moffat that Big Bully Busick always told people he was supposed to get that WM2 run with Hogan. Any ideas on this?)

Pete asks...Did Bundy have any major backstage heat with anyone on the roster? Rumor & innuendo was he wasn't easy to get along with. #AskBruce (Let’s ask it this way: who had the most heat?)

Captain Zack asks...Why was King Kong Bundy billed as such a threat to hogan? He wasn’t taller, he wasn’t a better worker, he wasn’t better looking, and he wasn’t more tan. What gives?

Jenson5 asks..Did Vince every consider a long run with Bundt and Big John Studd as tag team partners? They woulda been a hell of a heel team. Why didn’t they have a team name and what should it have been.

Mike asks...What was Hogans thoughts working with Bundy? It's been said a few times that his offense looked like crap, but hurt like hell.

Also, is he Hogans worst match to watch as a fan? He had a great run in WWF from Piper to even Sid. Was Bundy his worst matchup?

PenderJ asks..Who did the Undertaker hate working with more? Giant Gonzalez, King Kong Bundy, or Mable?

Jason asks..I have heard KKB say Vince made him a lot of promises up on his return to the company in 1994 that never came in to fruition. Does Bruce know anything that was planned for Bundy after his return?

Gremlin asks..Did Bruce ever catch any of Bundy's stand up comedy?  Was Bundy a funny guy backstage? 

Ray asks...Two part question:

1. Where do you rank Bundy in the all-time New Jersey wrestlers?

2. Is Big Show's shaved head an homage to Bundy

Joshua asks...Tell us the "You're stealing money Bundy" story again please

Captain asks...Will Bundy ever be put into the HOF? Seems like his history with the company would make it a no brainer. But will his post career lawsuit participation against WWE keep him out?
