King Kong Bundy Shoot Interview

[@KD_SWAGGER]

WHY ISN'T KING KONG BUNDY IN THE WWE HALL OF FAME?

[@tonyd7601]

I think he must have offended Vince McManon in some way. Because he was a major deal up their.

[@KD_SWAGGER]

@@tonyd7601 That's what it was.

[@timrobinson6573]

He was part of a lawsuit against the WWE alledging head trauma. King Kong didnt win and McMahon black balled him

[@shadowman2192]

Bundy was one of the greatest heals in the business

[@MrNYCman530]

I met Bundy in a pizza place once. Nice guy, down to earth.

[@mtmnynj8071]

King Kong Bundy was 1 of my favorite wrestlers in the '80s!!

[@jamiedarren2384]

Pro tip : watch series at flixzone. I've been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.

[@brycecolton6515]

@Jamie Darren definitely, I have been watching on flixzone for months myself :)

[@carterlayton6792]

@Jamie Darren Definitely, have been using Flixzone for since december myself :D

[@brianpair2934]

RIP Chris KING KONG BUNDY. Very smart and was always very nice. They said he was a gentle giant outside the ring.

[@shadowman2192]

I like these interviewers they seem respectful and unlike most wrestling interviews they actually let the wrestler do most of the talking without interrupting him every five seconds..

[@kevinheilbronner1437]

Bundy is old school and a class act. I've worked several shows with him. Sadly his health has not been his friend these last few years.

[@braddockakalatis2]

Al Bundy owes his name to this man. And Steve and Marcy Rhodes owe theirs to Dusty.

[@crassyfrake]

One thing I noticed, that never happens on shoots....King Kong asks the callers, the hosts, for THEIR opinions as well. It just struck me as really classy on his part.

[@TheJbkilla420]

KIng KOng Bundee is from my hometown Washington twp New Jersey so I love him

[@Fanik10]

I saw him main eventing an Indy show in New Bedford, Ma.

[@TheVegaIsAwesome]

I still appreciate the upload and think it was an entertaining hear.

[@fjccommish]

Five! Five!!! BTW, it was good to hear Chico Santana at the end.

[@Jasonkkyle]

R.I.P.

[@landrykkb]

There's no doubt about it that BobbyHeenan is the greatest wrestling manager ever.

[@johnst3296]

RIP. Truly great heel

[@spinnernetfan1]

he sounds like a great guy the way he talks to the callers other wrestlers wouldnt even call the fans by there names.

[@mjprelic]

All the wrestlers i heard in interviews, he sound the coolest. No animosity against people. Hall of famer for sure

[@michaelrubin4832]

He had animosity he hated randy savage

[@TheTamtam76]

underrated....very underrated...and misused...hogan politics played a big part in this, if bundy had the belt...wouldve been a good angle...hogan vs bundy for the belt.... the cage match was good...i dig bundy.

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

Biggest mistake McMahon ever made was to not have Bundy as a heel champion in 86-87. Hogan's schitck was already a bit stale by WMII and he desperately needed time in opposition. When you think about it the good thing about Backlund was that he was such a horrible TV performer that it made it very easy to give the belt to the Iron Sheik, even as reviled as he was. Once Hogan had the belt though it became really hard to get it off him because he became such a huge sensation. But Bundy would have been a credible way out of the eternal face champion snooze fest of Hogan. He could move a bit, could talk and was terrifying to the kids. The perfect villain!

[@rmartin7558]

Bundy never had a problem with Hogan. He's said Hogan was always good to him, and great to work with. So I wouldn't blame Hogan.

[@Who_You]

My most vivid childhood memory is Bundy splashing Andre and "breaking" his sternum. No heels like Bundy anymore.

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

Savage had a Heel title run from February 1989 until April 1989..

[@timotley2100]

As a kid, KKB was the scariest wrestler to me, with the little kid fear he could sit on and suffocate me. Which speaks to how well Chris played the character. As an adult, I think he's my favorite wrestler to listen to. Bright, articulate, seemed like a pretty solid guy.

[@laparka1138]

He was awsome in the movie Moving with Richard Pryor.

[@pumpkinsdontcry]

KKB is one of the kewlest ppl on interviews cuts straight to the point knows its all a work and takes none of it serious compared to these others he'd a legend

[@ZBR_ProXP]

bundy is a gentleman here, unlike the other shoot snippets flying around YT

[@michaelrubin4832]

***** no he legit didn't like randy savage orndorff or dynamite kid, Bret hart

[@aug8241944]

i remember when he wrestled andre the giant

[@Shadowhoggy]

I hear the Aussies love him

[@Michael1966W]

This fan has the upmost respect for Bundage

[@LVSWTZ]

Yep! and he was on Married with Children. The Creators of MWC are Big Wrestling Fans . They were gonna call the family the "Hogans" but there was already a T.V Family called that So they called them the Bundys after him. There next door neighbors "The Rhodes" were named after Dusty..

[@noreastservicesmarcfitzpat5647]

what a standup guy

[@SmoothJazz98]

@jabmalassie Nope that was Bundy in that role as a mover in that movie. And it was a funny role, not sure why he didn't work more in movies and TV than he did.

[@evelynsutton1]

Bundy and Heenan were good together I remember they jumped Hogan along with Don Muraco and broke Hogans ribs to set up Wrestlemainania 2. I also enjoyed the two Saturday nights Main event where the fought Hogan and set up Andre to take the title from Hulk. The one thing i thought should have happened was that Bundy and John Studd should have won the tag title atleast once

[@bumblebeemoi]

+evelynsutton1 Regarding Hogan's ribs. I was living in Norwalk, CT (near the WWF headquarters) and this guy at the gym was talking about his wife who was a friend of Hogan's wife. Through Hogan's wife he said that in a month or so Hogan was going to the hospital and the whole deal. I had told my ex this before and after we saw it happen on TV she said, "I have the same feeling now when I learned there was no Santa Claus."

[@michaelrubin4832]

Philip Bourdon you're a f****** liar Hogan's ribs were really broken and he actually spent the night in the hospital f*** you

[@macdaddy1149]

Fact- they named the Family “Married With Children” the Bundy’s after King Kong Bundy due to him being one of the writers favorite wrestler. Bundy is one of the Nicest guys in wrestling. You never hear anything bad about Bundy. RIP Bundy you are missed.

[@josephpongrac7077]

Bundy for wwe hall of fame 2019

[@dhosea101]

Rest peacefully King Kong bundy

[@glindelahern5420]

Miss you Bundy. RIP.

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

I started watching wrestling at my grandparent's house on black&white television... first wrestling was on, then roller derby. hehehe

[@dharmaseed]

"I think that's the perfect placement for it, if you don't mind me saying so.'

[@chefmastershake]

@bigpoppa20010 The Brain baby! One of the best heels ever!

[@bp408]

Its in New Jersey that would be perfect. Bam Bam too.

[@willsee1404]

RIP Bundy!

[@twsstar]

Smart guy Bundy is.

[@jamie.777]

Bundy was using a old bell Atlantic rental rotary phone.. wow.

[@roybear521]

He should be in the HALL OF FAME

[@jojst1]

Wrestling changed forever once KAYFABE disappeared. It´s like a magician revealing his tricks. Why bother watching "sports entertainment" anymore?? We all suspectd it was a work back in the day, but we liked to BELIEVE it was real, and it was great.

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

To me it was more like breaking the fourth wall in movies. It's no fun watching a movie if you know how the special effects are done I mean. And it's not as if most people don't understand that movies are fake too. But you still want to be left alone with the fiction there, and not have some twerp continuously remind you that the movie isn't real. Same with wrestling. Anyway, Bundy was like a demigod of schoolyard bullies in the 1980s. Whoever you were afraid of in school at 11 years old, Bundy was that person times ten. Awesome character.

[@jojst1]

Very well said.

[@michaelrubin4832]

It may be predetermined but a lot of the physicality is real

[@Jim-Tuner]

KING KONG BUNDY! KING KONG BUNDY! KING KONG BUNDY! BUNDYMANIA LIVES!!!

[@irontaylor9992]

Bundy a true legend i rember watching him vs hogan in wrestlemania 2 RIP bundy

[@Amoury123505]

Bundy still a very strong guy.

[@spinnernetfan1]

@PureDynamiteKid he was a star in wccw he didnt do nothing for wwf yet he was booked as main event @ wm2 and he even i.m.o lead to hogan vs andrea

[@dachronicalalittlebitofeve6630]

Even the music is generic, in our golden era everyone had a theme tune customised to describe them perfectly. Not enough emphasis or praise goes to the genius who created so many iconic theme songs. Every great star had a great theme. It why the only guy who really made a success out of starting in wcw was goldberg…. Nobody else really ever had a song that was either memorable or suited the character

[@Camel76]

Too many WWE nutjobs whining because they can't see anything outside of the WWE. Bundy has many accomplishments. He would not have lasted as long as he did if he wasn't popular.

[@LVSWTZ]

Like to see how fast you can move 460 pounds! Andre is the Goat, Brody was good But Bundy would be more over today as a monster heel, and that's saying allot.

[@bodhi8297]

RIP King Kong Bundy

[@roybear521]

Im glad you can judge people. I dont have any reasons to judge and talk smack something that all you know. I dont need your opinion if you have issues.

[@timjespersen3605]

This was a great dude and a legend.

[@landrykkb]

I got the impression from an interview I read with S.D.Jones a few years ago that the wrestling business was just a means to an end for him and he had no passion for it,so i don't blame King Kong Bundy for his take on him.

[@IzzyIrizarry-ci7jr]

Bundyholic😆💥

[@piikeaSanDiego]

He loves seafood. He sees food and eats it!

[@CamronReplay1]

@spinnernetfan1 "he didnt do nothing" "HE DIDNT DO NOTHING" he didnt.....do nothing? So he did do something?

[@mofrakker]

FIIIVE!! FIIIVE!!

[@spinnernetfan1]

he's a dark humor comedian just like tosh.o he makes light of dark situations.

[@fjccommish]

FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SonfManiacs]

WOW at around 21:00 he talks about the 12 and 13 year old kids....i was one of them...i had a local public access show for TCI cable (when it was tci) and there was another show with guys that were 20 and 30 sumthing, mike cuomo and bad new bob (who had bundy on) and they used to hate us. we had no idea why but they would always try ripping on us and we were in 7th grade. prolly mad because we were half their age doing what they did and we always hated spoilers. misinformed ppv explained lolol

[@Camel76]

Sounds like you're not a wrestling fan.

[@b_side8669]

Bundy seems like a really nice down to earth guy hell you are right though hogan politics at wm 2 I would of loved to seen bundy with the belt it's just a shame how the misused him if I had a vote I would put him in the hall for sure

[@goukimess]

Assuming he wants to be I'm the HOF . Apparently once you are in the HOF you are owned by the wwe with a no-compete clause. You can't do any bookings, shoot interviews without them clearing it. That can affect your money.

[@davidmccurtain6443]

Bundy was a huge man and a great heel but when you see him next to Andre the Giant it made him look like a bald chubby 10 year old kid..

[@davidmccurtain6443]

***** True he was enormous man as well ,All 3 legends of the 80s

[@indpacers4life]

Chris Jericho is ten times the wrestler and draw that king kong bundy ever was. bundy wish he had Jericho's skills

[@Mr8080ss]

ICP NEVER WERE AND I CAN TELL YOU, DOES'NT LKK LIKE THY WILL 3VER BE BIG IN THE INDUSTRY ... SPOKEN FRM I TRUE HIPHOP/RAP HEAD ... BUNDY GREAT PERSONALITY, COOL DUD3.

[@SanDzFit]

Sounds like Peter Griffin lol

[@MrBrockberg]

@Preston Trent apples to oranges much. thats sayin rey mysterio a better hi flyer than yokozuna. uh no shit

[@Camel76]

Longer

[@dachronicalalittlebitofeve6630]

The weekly show should literally be jobbers and superstars….. no big names fighting each other, maybe just one on each show. They need to build the guys better, make them look like killers….. then those big shows mean so much more, it’s the only time the big stars collide. Also agree that less is more, 4 big shows a year works well.

[@Derby14]

Bundaholics...never heard of it until today and I grew up with wrestling in the 80s. I highly doubt Jericho stole that gimmick from KKB.

[@sanddune]

28:37 about internet marks. If you are offended by his comments, he was probably talking about you.

[@sanddune]

@koalajones88 Different day. Not everyone got the belt like today's wrestling. Doesn't mean the guy didn't draw.

[@joeantonacci2145]

Bundy is awesome...great in person too. Why should his opinions NOT count. He knows the business from the inside out. Dumb ass fans who hate these great entertainers crack me up.

[@angelofdeathmichael673]

🖐

[@MrBrockberg]

u guy take things way to serious. he just playin his role

[@buddyb.9496]

this is when wrestling was the shit!!!!not the same no more

[@drvn8]

@AndrewsOpinion15 not sure, but jericho talks a lot of shit about a lot of people

[@LVSWTZ]

Like said before "Like to see how fast you can move 460 pounds!" Brody was crazy. Brody looked like an Evil Heel Hill Billy Jim who forgot to put on his Overalls on lol. Bundy was Scary. Scary is where the draw, sell and the money is, ask the Undertaker. in only a few short years. Bundy was in WM2 vs Hogan for the WWF Title in a cage, with world watching....where was Brody? Prime King Kong Bundy Would KILL Today. Bundys a Bigger and Scarier Heel.

[@walking00dead]

fake titles mean nothing drawing money means everything bundy headlined wm2 when wrestling was in the golden age off money makin

[@truthspeakerism]

The only reason McMahon let him go was because the trend was towards 7 foot tall men who were built like superman and made bragged about themselves and did unnecessary break neck maneuvers not necessary for great matches. And if Patty Patterson figured that strongly into any of this well there you go...McMahon destroyed wrestling and turned it into an X-rated circus complete with clowns ..a fucking paton place ridiculous runs and not enough wrestling and so called "macho" men growling and wearing pastel pinks,yellow and greens with too much grease and un-funny lines...and over priced tickets....it's not rip off football or base ball!!!

[@bubbiesdad]

Andre was slow.

[@buccaneerbob11]

typical loser wrestler making like 2 to 3 hundred a weekend, after the manager takes his, he MIGHT see 150

[@devilock333]

Bundaholics? Lol

[@Mr8080ss]

He's 1n3 of those BIG MEN WHO RELLY BELIEVES SIZE IS EVVRY THYNG ... IT DOES COUNTS FOR ALOT, BUT IT AINT everythyng ... infact, "Speed kills" ... SPEED IS POWER ... IT SOUNDS 2 ME LIKE HE PERFERS TO WRESTLE MEN OF HYS STATURE AND SIZE ... JERICHO IS TWIC3 AS SUCCESSFUL AS BUNDY (FRM AN REVENUE, MATCH AND MIANSTREAM) ... JERICHO V. BUNDY IN A MATCH BACC IN DA 80s (senerio) ... Jericho, smaller, would hve been a jobber, he gets flattin by bundy IN 15 sec ... in modern 3ra, JEricho HANDSDWN ...

[@LVSWTZ]

Winning and Loosing It's All Scripted......are you 5? That's Role of the Top Heel to Loose to the Top Babby Faces at the Big Events All those guys you named were that. Fritz was his BOSS and Legend in the territory and created the WCCW like Stu Hart in Stampeded Carlos Colon in WWC like Vince would be when he worked at the WWF A Hero is only a great as his Villian and Bundy was one the Best.

[@BAR-ct7ti]

King Kong Boring

[@justinmartin1831]

Bundy sucks. He was just a monster for Hogan to beat. After Wrestlemania 2 he didn't do anything worthwhile in the business.

[@mychaelmyers1297]

Come dice Dan Peterson, quando king kong mette a tappeto suo avversario,arbitro deve contare fino a 5🖐️😂😂

[@spinnernetfan1]

@PureDynamiteKid he was a star in wccw he didnt do nothing for wwf yet he was booked as main event @ wm2 and he even i.m.o lead to hogan vs andrea
