The "Best" of King Kong Bundy...

So writing the post about "Moving" rekindled my interest in a some what long forgotten remnant of WWF (E) past....King Kong Bundy. After some Youtube research, I stumbled across the following clips.

I fondly remember this first match. I have not seen it in probably 18 years. Not nearly as good as I remember (actually, it's terrible), but the commentary by Elvira (yes, Elvira "Princess of the Night") is awesome. This match is also in the "big blue cage," which I really miss. Also, the amount of "heat" (which is wrestling terminology for the level of crowd involvement) that they got from a couple of simple "big splashes" is ridiculous.

Wrestlemania 2...Hogan vs. Bundy.




This one is for C Funk (who will most likely remember the details of this episode). This clip is interesting for a couple of reasons. 1. It includes Bud in a bee costume for some reason. And, 2. It includes Michael Clark Duncan as the security guard, which I thought was funny.



This just shows you how far "Kong" fell one year. This is Wrestlemania 3, and Bundy was relegated to wrestling midgets (Little Beaver and Lord Little Brooke) with Hill Billy Jim. I apologize for the video quality. This is probably another one that Funk will appreciate.
