    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.

    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.

    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.
