RIP KING KONG BUNDY

March 5, 2019 5:59 am Published by

King Kong Bundy, real name Christopher Alan Pallies, is best known for his time in WWE in the 1980’s and 1990’s, and famously faced Hulk Hogan in a Steel Cage match for the WWE Title at WrestleMania 2.

His friend and wrestling promoter David Herro announced his death online. The cause of death is not yet known.

King Kong’s first memorable match was against Special Delivery Jones in 1984 when he dispatched Jones within nine seconds at the first ever Wrestlemania. The next year was the vintage Wrestlemania 2 where he took on Hulk Hogan in a steel cage.

Hogan took the crown, but King Kong terrorized him at moments during the match and laid down some huge Avalanche Splashes. He would go on to battle other big names into the 1990s, such as the Undertaker and Mabel.
