I met KKB in person and he was so down to earth and a real class act!
He was a must in the 80s.One of the most memorable villains.
King Kong Bundy moved very well for a big man and was a better wrestler than folks gave him credit for!!! He should definitely be in the wwe hall of fame!!!
I was always impressed of how intelligent Bundy sounded, here, and in character during his interviews.
He should schedule a 3 hour shoot, and when it reaches 3 hours, he can shout "FIVE!"
I can't believe they didn't mention his role in the Richard Pryor movie "Moving".

He would've been the perfect actor for Kingpin
King Kong Bundy for WWE Hall Of Fame 2015, make it happen Vince.
Bundy is just a CLASSIC. This is what made Wrestling a Pop Culture Phenomenon. Memorable Chracthers Talents like Bundy mentioned when you see them standing in ring. You have to stop and watch to see which is going to win. The Emoveable Object or the Irresistible Force??? The Legends of Wrestling. KING KONG BUNDY (The Walking Condominium) ☆☆☆☆☆
Bundy is the Fucking man. He's honest & tells his opinion straight up on how he feels about ppl. Doesn't care if they like it or not & doesn't sugar coat it to be political correct or water it down so he doesn't offend ppl as much. Much respect for anyone like that.
I can't believe it's been 2 years since his death!!! It's soooo saddening. I heard alot of people said he was a really nice person. He use to wrestle here in Tennessee in the 80's. Big man too. Great wrestler! R.I.P. King Kong Bundy!!! Has anyone heard anymore details about his death???

I can't believe it's been 1 year since the comment about two years since his death!
He would've made an iconic manager if he was still alive.
King Kong Bundy is easily one of the top five heels in the history of the WWE.

Notice how the interviewer lets Bundy talk.
RIP Bundy. He looked good here. I know first hand how hard it is to control weight gain.
R.I.P. King Kong Bundy
Hey man kkb was one of my favorite wrestlers.
Awesome. Long Live King Kong Bundy. One of wrestling's greats.
"decades away." Oh. Awwww. *Tears* Thank you Bundy!
Bundy was and still is great. It is nice to hear a real interview that isn't so bitter.
Look at the era this man comes from and compare it to the current one; there are no characters anymore! No gimmicks no real storytelling; just quick matches. King Kong Bundy is a one of a kind and his skills on the mic are on point. He definitely earned his stripes and his spots unlike today's wrestlers who are given everything on a silver platter.
Full of class..RIP KING...
Bundy is awesome! He was recently in the independent film "Fight the Panda Syndicate," and he's a REALLY nice, incredibly professional guy when you meet him in person.
King Kong Bundy is the man! Squash him, bro.
Buddy was a great heel. A shame he ended up experiencing some of those lows of the indy circuit. And that's crazy. Guys were getting paid $100 to appear on RAW?! They should have unionized.
Bundy seems like a decent fellow.
I would have loved to have spent an evening drinking and talking to King Kong Bundy.
looks great, good for u bundy
Bundy`s working here. Not a shoot. Not complaining. I prefer it when the legends stay in character. You can tell they prefer it.
I have worked with Chris...N let me tell you.. he is 1 first class guy.. what a Professional
He lost alot of weight., Good for him
Love you, King Kong! Great memories
The Clarences love & support PWO & King Kong Bundy!
Hated kkb as a child what a heel but love all of his interviews very intelligent gentleman
Jeez hes in great shape considering how he use to look.
Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of crime. YOU'RE RIGHT! This is the guy who should have played the Kingpin.
wow! he lost a ton of weight! he was my favorite wrestler when i was a kid...

He's now like a tool shed on legs.
yes i wanted to see if he was still alive he looks and sounds good he should be on tv ..
I love Bundy, he's such a huge personality. He should be at least a commentator or something at one of the big companies, make a decent living.
When I was a kid, I had three different autographs from KKB. I wish I knew where they are now...

Three? You need two more.
King Kong Bundy lost some weight since he faced Andre The Giant in 1985
I dont usually do this lol but press 5 on the keyboard for the best line of the shoot
met him in 96 at the philly airport he was one of the nicest guys ever and his flight was delayed and he wasn't pissed
Best Damn Heel that ever lived!
I remember when Bundy would shave his eyebrows.
Why is it that big men seem to have an awesome voice for commentary? It probably won't happen, but Big Show needs to do color commentary when he retires. Hire Bundy, too.
Wow Bundy must've lost like 200 lbs.
I love Bundy he should have gotten some kind of title run at least with the IC title
Bundy rocks!
Hes cool! I was always a fan. I got into wrestling about 18 yrs ago. I never went n e where. I met chris a 100 yrs ago in stone pk ill. He was as nice as could b to me. About 2 yrs later here i am in Union ill, with bundy. This event was an unbeivable even with noth more then 1 clusterfuk after another. Promoter was fkd up. Bundy was so cool that night and we went on w the show. Aside of wrestling i think hes a really good man.
sadly Texas Stadium is no longer there.
R.I.P 💪
Wow looks better than he did in the early 80's
In 1986 Pete Rose was the all time hits leader and manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Today he peddles autographs in Primm, Nevada. It happens man
in 1986 he main evented wrestlemania now he's doing this.
@thesongisover its Pro Wrestling Diary shoot, actually
This show is on cable tv?...wow!...what state and town? I mean that in a negative way of course.
Sir King Kong Bundy
yes thats what i thought as well!wow!
Since I can’t comment on Kevin Nash’s video. I’ll say it here. It’s really odd I enjoy watching that video of him sipping on Diet Coke and just talking. It’s a strange form of Asmr 😂
He seems like such a nice guy,
Does KK ever age!? Looks like he can still suit up
I find it hard to believe he was getting 100 dollars for a Monday Night Raw ... it's about 300 dollars for a semi-decent hotel room alone within a 3 mile radius either side of the Manhattan Centre ... unless Vince worked it a different way and gave them x10 bookings that week at 100 dollars a time and paid all their hotels, bar bills, restaurant tabs etc coupled with some bonuses to bring them up a bit. It's got to be something like that there's no way even in the mid 90's 100 dollars a night would have been their earning.
i was up late one night flipping through channels and came across pwo it was so lame it was funny....
@whatifsports2 haha, well, they kinda already did a thing when Big Show was "The Giant" and they said he was Andre's son.
Wow king kong bundy aka Sean Pellea a real cool,down to earth andseems like an easy to get along with guy
Bundy did jobs in the WWWF as Chris Canyon.
Hogan told him to come work for Vince awesome
You got to admit Piper could draw heat. Evidently Mr. T. and Piper had legitimate heat in real life.
I'm glad he can use the name "King Kong Bundy" instead of going to another federation and having to call himself "Bundy King" or "Avalanche" or something worse.
how big is Bundy's head??

His whole head is a lump.
💕
Bundy should still be with WWE in some way.. Maybe as a manager?
Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of crime.
Ref - 1,2, 3.. Bundy- Holds up hand "FIVE!" Ref - Shrugs 4, 5.... DIng Ding Ding... Master of the five count....
he looks good
Bundy is great. I echo what is said below - he could be great on commentary.
Cool guy
better him then us..? talking about the death of monsoon...kinda harsh but w.e
wild
It would take a brave man to heckle Bundy at his comedy gig.
Who the heck is Chico judging someone else's matches?
Bundy looks like he can sill beat some ass in that ring. Bundy is looking awesome.
@lildwayne21 yeah, he's lost weight, which is good for his health. but the thing is, he really wasn't all that fat back in the day. he had a wide waistline, but he was also a huge mass of muscle and had a massive bone structure. like a powerlifter or one of those guys on the worlds strongest man competitions. he had to have been one of the strongest pro wrestlers in history.
A little hard on the beaver that night. lol
@Germany1111 Your 100pec right, He would make a killer commentator.
Is that The Kingpin?
Actually I'm not lying.
Check out King Kong Bundy in the new independent film "Fight the Panda Syndicate," now beign submitted to festivals around the world for 2012! The KING is not only one of the greatest wrestlers ever but a tremendous actor and a really great guy. For more information check out Crazy Elk Productions on the web!
Vince Fears Bundy
RIP
One of the best heels in all of wrestling. Nobody likes a bully and Bundy plaid the bully better then anybody.
It wasn't Bundy that made the Owen joke at Sheik's roast. It was a bald comedian who calls himself King Kong "Buddy". He looks kinda like Bundy so he used his gimmick. But it wasn't Bundy
wow you look good and handsome gee where have you been ????
great guy lol
im amazes he;s not dead. considering the others that are. wrestling is a death sentence. such a shame its such a great sport :(
Wow Bundy was thin back in 2009!
@niteholler KING OF THE FIVE SPLAT Money Shot !
@5tennbjj Man, he looks great!
Handsome bugger.
