Former WWE legend King Kong Bundy has died, the wrestling company announced Tuesday. He was 61.

The New Jersey native, whose real name is Christopher Pallies, was known for his enormous stature inside the ring. He was 6-foot-4 and 458 pounds and also known as the “walking condominium.”

Part of his gimmick was having referees count to five, instead of three, when he pinned an opponent to show that there was no way they would get up from his destruction.

One of his biggest moments in WWE was wrestling Hulk Hogan for the WWE title inside a steel cage at Wrestlemania 2. He would leave WWE in the 1980s only to return once more as part of The Million Dollar Corporation faction in 1994.

:sad2:

Even though he was one of the 'bad guys', I always liked King Kong Bundy :(

I liked a lot of the "heels" tbh. Most wrestlers who were in the WWF for any length of time would generally turn from face to heel and vice versa. Stone Cold and The Ultimate Warrior were probably my two all-time favourites and neither were ever a true "face" as its known.

We had a big girl in high school that once made fun of me while I was at the chalkboard in front of the class.. I nicknamed her 'Big Dawn Bundy' in front of the whole school at a pep rally for payback.. She was a large cheerleader and as she entered the gymnasium I yelled out, "BIG DAWWWN BUNNNNDY". Everyone erupted in laughter. She later asked me to please stop the pain because everyone in the school was calling her that now..

All jokes aside, King Kong Bundy was a nice looking guy.. Nice teeth..
