about to deliver a huge southern surprise! My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family. Yesterday we lost one of the #legendary Big Men of Wrestling. A man who did his job with such incredible authenticity. One of the best villains of 1980’s wrestling.
Great guy, who I’ve known most of my career. I’m saddened by the passing of King Kong Bundy. A true gentleman and so kind to be around. A true legendary big man who paved the way for a lot of us.
So sad to learn of King Kong Bundy passing away. He was so cool to me when I walked in that dressing room as an absolute nobody in 1986. Hate to hear about the passing of King Kong Bundy. He was a machine and he never ran out of gas. King Kong Bundy was soooo good and ahead of his time. Rest In Peace Brother until we meet again. OMG can’t hardly believe my friend Chris Pallies aka King Kong Bundy has passed away. Rest In Peace to the true master of the Five Count. True LEGEND #KingKongBundy leaves us….tremendous talent/wrestler and his pure athleticism for a big man was excellent! #5Count #RIP ? I loved this WWF Sportscenter commercial with King Kong Bundy in it /62Ij9rbd5T you paved the way for big men today RIP #FIVE Sucks to hear the passing of King Kong Bundy, only met you once and you actually said hello to me first by name, couldn’t believe you knew me. I never met King Kong Bundy but if it wasn’t for King Kong Bundy, I might never have been a Hulkamaniac. #KingKongBundy ??going to miss you my friend !!! Thank you for paving the way #RestEasy #WweLegend /EQh7Dmw6i3 He will be missed, but he's in good company now, like in this match… King Kong Bundy…another great wrestling talent gone too soon. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time. A WrestleMania attraction, a true big man and a fan-favorite of the Universe. Saddened to hear of King Kong Bundy's passing. I wish I had been lucky enough to cross paths with him again. I’ll always remember him being really funny and just such a great guy.
I had just started training and was helping out backstage at the show he was on. Overwhelmed by King Kong Bundy’s passing, only great memories,R.I.P.
