The creators of Married With Children were wrestling fans and so named the Bundy clan after Kong and the Rhodes after Dusty.
When you learn that heels were cool guys, and faces were pricks.
Not always heard Tully Blanchard was a prick so was iron shiek so doesn't always apply
Orton has mellowed out
Piper A R so true.
Orton was also 21/22 years old
Orton was cool but flair was a prick. Goldberg was cool with kids even though I didn’t like him and so was cena
I used King Kong Bundy many times while I was promoting in PA, and he had no problems working the Indy circuit and had a wonderful chemistry in the locker room, and was always a happy camper when he worked for me. Good guy!
Don't lie.
He's telling the truth, dick-breath
You're not a promoter. You are shit.
This man is for real. He's the president/promoter for PCW. It takes 10 seconds to find this out. Jeez not everyone on the internet is a basement dwelling lying troll.
@@subzero8679 Either he's impersonating the promoter of a long defunct promotion, (unlikely,) or he's the real guy and you're just a sad sack of shit with no accomplishments in life (likely.)
The Ernie Ladd impression/Bundy story always makes me laugh.
"You dumb you're self right outta posicion" lmfao
Oh yeah, Cornette could definitely do a great Ernie Ladd.
KING OF THE FIVE COUNT!........R.I.P Champ.
I always thought that the five count was a great gimmick for him. He was one of the first heels I remember seeing.
I met Bundy at one of the Eddie Gilbert Memorial shows in Philly. He was really cool. He walked out with my friends and I and hung around the parking lot talking to us
Grizzly Smith probably thought Bundy’s attacker was a 10 year old girl
I think he was in Stir Crazy and he was in Popeye. I was so afraid of him as a kid. Watching Mid South in the early 80s Bundy and Kamala terrified me.
Best Bundy moment when he dropped the elbow on the midget.
He legit hurt him I think
The exact moment I stop watching WWF. WrestleMania 3. I still have not watched Hulk Hogan V Andre the sookie lala.
King Kong Bundy should be in the WWE Hall of Fame.
Yeah agreed..but I'm not sure Vince will because Bundy was involved in that group lawsuit against WWE and lost.
@@jolly7041 Bundy will go into the WWE Hall of Fame through the Legacy Wing like Luna Vachon & Brusier Brody did.
The fact he’s not is criminal
@@hoopsheavenpa 👍
Loved him on Married with children
He was a spokesmodel for Vendex computers in 1989! That’s a warm, nostalgic memory for me
I’ll first and always remember Bundy from the Georgia days when he was battling the Road Warriors.
King Kong Bundy for HOF!
R.I.P. Bundy
He was just such a simple no frills heel..but it worked. Legend
Not really...he didn't have much of a run.
He was at a comic con I booked in 2016 before he died got a fun story about him then the next year we had demolition and Nikolai volkoff before he passed as well those dudes were a blast.
LOVED the movie "Moving"! Not sure if I could use the term "cult classic", BUT, there was some pretty funny shit that happened in it. I also thought he was funny in "Married with Children"....BUT he wasn't a 'Bundy', he was actually a (LOVE this name/word/term, whatever) 'Wanker' , which was Peggy's side of the family. "Peggy Wanker, No need to thank her!" 😂 OK, I'm done being stupid....for now😜👍
Yeah in "Moving" he played "Gorgo". I always thought it was cool that he was named after another giant movie monster.
Karl E Paul Peggy is also from Wanker county.
Moving.... shit I saw that when I was in high school...lol. had no idea he was in that
I remember seeing Bundy, The Manco Man and Leaping Lanny on Union City Tn in 84 or so. Those 3 left the event in mid 70s blue Ford Maverick with Bundy behind the wheel.
Do you live in Union City ???
Big Daddy Bundy when he had hair.
Bundy was my favorite 80s "monster heel". Vader was my favorite 90s "monster heel".
KKB seemed like a pretty down to earth guy. Someone you could have lunch with, kick back and just talk about whatever. He will definitely be missed.
RIP King Kong Bundy! The good Bundy!
Bundy is a really cool guy . He is loud but its for fun
rest in paradise king kong bundy. thank you for your contribution to the wrestling industry.
He was great. Met him twice. A real gentleman
RIP,big guy!
A good choice for the cover of "Screaming Fat Guy Magazine" to borrow a phrase.
“458 lbs?! Gimme a break he’s over that 500 pound mark!” Gorilla loved too escalate the big guys weight
Bundy was 400 at most.
married with children was the best thing kong bundy did imo. lol i still watch that show like it was new
Twice
I seen Bundy twice in Southbridge around 1997 and then 1999 and in 1997 I got his autographed photo which was Bundy/Hogan. Also in 1997 he was vs. Tito Santana in a 6 person tag with a woman named Jackie P. who became known as Chyna just a few weeks later when she joined the WWE
I love Bundy. I had his action figure as a kid, my friend and I called him "Big Fart" lol.
Right after Bundy turned heel in World Class back in 1982 at the Freeman Colosseum in San Antonio, Tx he was leaveing the ring after a promo with Gary Hart & a woman from the crowed just started kicking is ass the police pulled her off him & cuffed her but that was one of the funny things ive ever seen & the look on Bundys face was priceless. Lol
King Kong Bundy was a good human being it sucks when we lose people that make the world a better place
Who says Bundy was nice???
I remember renting Moving and going hey that's King Kong Bundy
Bundy was not in the Legion of Doom.He was hired by Paul Ellering to soften up Ronnie Garvin for the match against Jake Roberts for the Georgia T.V. title after Garvin paid Ellering $34,000.00.
RIP, "Uncle Irwin" :-)
I remember him vanishing during the late 80's
I would have liked to have seen him against THE YETAY!!!
Hulkamania is dead.... BUNDYmania lives on forever !!!!
He should have said that after he broke Hogan's ribs. That would have been epic. Hogan's lying in the ring injured and Bundy grabs the mic and says "Hulkamania is dead. Long live Bundymania! Haaa Haa Haaaaa".
Bundy Holics !
Bundy sucks, always has
Hulkamania will never Die!!!!!!
Bundy is dead. Hulkamania lives on!!!
Bundy is awesome.
King Kong bundy was a legend he was so big ... big guy rip to him
Bundy was fun to watch
WHEN IS HE FINALLY GOING INTO THE WWE HALL OF FAME?!!!!!
Never- he is part of a class action suit against Vince and WWE. Vince don't like people that sue him.
david mase THE WWE apparently has SOMETHING against this big teddy bear Bundy
Nobody cares about the WWE HOF it doesn't exist.
When he’s dead. So maybe now.
@@djdarq6311 doubtful. Vince is an asshole like that.
Bundy shat on savage
RIP Bundy
I had the honor to work with Bundy several times, tough SOB! is a hall of famer!!! real nice brother who could rib with the best! love him! PAPW tv and CenterRing316, thank you!
Did he have a pre match routine or anything? Lol
@@pd7608 he ate 3 burgers and had a couple beers.
Loved the commercials.
Thanks Jeckyl. I do admit his rants are hilarious. But that's Corney altogether.
I've heard he's great as a stand up comedian..................I wanna check him out.
He lives in Gloucester City, NJ. I saw him one time at a convience store. He seen me looking at him and turned to me and said "Yes, it's me." Lol. Long story short he said "Hi nice to meet you. My name is Chris. Chris Pallies."
@@neils9739 and was a true gentleman to wasn't he
Bundyyyy
Bundy was also in bustin loose
I really like his cage match with hogan at wm 2. Thats pretty much all ive seen.
Patrick Boian , that was def one of the greatest build to WM main event angles ever in Hogan/Bundy/broken ribs to get to that match.
As a little kid at the time I was scared of Bundy. He broke my hero's ribs!! He broke Hulk Hogan's ribs!! That traumatized me.
DevilFish69 hogans ribs were legit hurt according to many wrestlers he legit went to the emergency room
real shit only match of his ive seen as well lol
5! 5! 5!
Jim Cornette's Ernie Ladd impression is spot on.
RIP King Kong Bundy
RIP KKB
Al Bundy is named after King Kong
He was in the Richard Pryor movie MOVING. That was a great underrated movie
I watched Bundy win the heviweight wrestling college Championship on tv way before he became a wrestler professionally.
Jim I love it when you tell these great stories about these icons that you were and still are a part of. You yourself are an icon. Please stay off the politics and stick to this. This is what everyone listens for.
I think enough with the audio-only. Jim and company need a webcam, mic, and fan questions. That's it! His YouShoots at Kayfabe Commentary are priceless...PRICELESS!
King Kong Bundy and that still cage match with Hulk Hogan was great the WrestleMania 2 but I like it Al Bundy had that bad dream and was Peggy's brother just a bust his head open through the front door and say we're here
Mid south I watched wrestling at age 7 then I grew up
Bundy was not managed in MidSouth .
RIP big man
Moving was halarios
BUNDY WANTS THE 5 COUNT!!!!!!!!
This is before Bundy passed away
Bundy seemed to have the ability, but with big, odd looking guys like him there is only so much you can do with the storylines.
Viscera had many storylines. King Mabel, Undertakers stable, Big Daddy V, etc.
5!!!!!
Rest in peace a true legend
Gotta ❤ King Kong Bundy.
No hall of fame for Bundy but hey let’s put dx and Tori Wilson in it
Pisses me of Donald Trump and Drew Carey made it in put for someone who put in real work won't because WWE can't admit to something they've done wrong. It's common place with anything like the NFL. Those with the most money win
@@robertrichardson9953 hey don't mention president pig shit in the same sentence as Drew Carey Drew Carey would be offended by that
@@robertrichardson9953 Donald Trump hosted WrestleMania 4 and 5 at Trump Plaza and also headlined WrestleMania: Battle of the Billionaires. As for Drew Carey🤷♂️
Please. Bundy was just another screaming fat guy. He didn't do anything, and his one time at the top bombed badly.
I think I am the youngest old school wrestling fan (I'm only 15).
Jadyn Burks No one cares
Jadyn Burks heck yeah
Very cool ! Do you have a favourite old school wrestler ?
Jadyn Burks Well Jadyn your a,smart MARK because that was the best time in wrestling.Go study up on PEDRO MORALES and watch his matches
You could watch a Pedro Morales match but buying a burrito with some refried beans will give you the same experience. Mucho diarrhea.
no 1,2,3.................5 count, bitches!
MrZappaman420 I remember that! Lol
He reminds me of Humpty Dumpty
RIP.
DREAM MATCH: King Kong Bundy vs. Mark Henry, vs. The Big Show vs. Brohm Strowman
that's not much of a dream match without Vader
just saying
Bundy was awesome
F grizzly smith.
I saw Fritz Von Erich put the claw on him. Good times. Maybe the best times.
Bundy was great
Bundy vs Vader .....Jim?
Bundy was great.
He was also in the movie Rumble Fish.
The Coppola film? Did you make this up there's nothing about it on the internet?
@@cantbanme8971 He's making it up.
@@Rjensen2 what a bizarre thing to do lol
@@cantbanme8971 Yeah, it's all over wrestling videos. I still love the old stuff and consider myself a fan. But the vast majority of wrestling fans seem to be the dumbest people on the planet.
how many movies was he in?
Moving, The Panda Syndicate, and a few more. All in all he has done about five or six films. Two features and a few short films.
Where is that creature neck he looks like a mutant character creation
Old school heel
Huge star?
1:22
Was he named after the serial killer?
NO NOT ANY RELATIONSHIP TO TED BUNDY
Bundy is a good guy he speaks favorably of most guys except the ones that have long been known to be a moron.
Bundy was a great heel so unique and of course the name was cool. I'm waiting for a wrestler to go by the name
No Neck.
The Glory Days of Wrestling when the talent looked like a wrestler instead of the kid next door.
Quoting Burgis Meridith in Rocky 3 "I've seen wrestlers as big as dinosaurs".
True todays talent can fly higher & move faster. But the psychological game the mystique around two monsters going at it. Who will win the immovable object or the irresistible force as the late great Gorilla Monsoon often quoted.
Once you take away the believability all you have left is the mystique that's what is missing today they are phenomenal athletes but the most important ingredient is missing.
Sorry just nothing exciting about two 180lb guys flying all over the ring where no move has meaning. A wrestlers finishing move is lets say DDT, every Wrestler he hits with that finisher is done 3 count. Todays product in a match a Wrestler hits his opponent with a DDT nothing no effect. Opponent jumps up like nothing happened a minute later wrestler hits him with same move now he cannot move.
Repetativeness so many wrestlers doing same moves in a match. In past wrestler had a signature finishing move no one else performed that move it was protected as a lights out move.
Due to such loss of psychology in todays matches. Wrestlers in the Hope's of adding excitement aka crowd pop to their match. They over rely nowadays on hitting opponent with finisher then as referee counts to 3 and a kick out. Todays there hoping to get pop by the fans believing since he hit his finisher it's over then comes the kick out at 2/ 3/4. Only issue is it's been over played in every match go and watch wrestlemania 34 main event. Now watch on TH-cam match without fan cheers and wow's added in for effect. You can he a pin drop with 80,000 people ask yourself does that seem normal. Of course not again another consequence from matches being rushed story lines with no history over saturation of same match over and over with different colored outfits performing the moves.
The fast paced matches these days are great to a degree but it's also become part of the problem. it's gone to far.
Psychology reminiscent of a time when a matches excitement was due to psychology/build up. Back in 70's 80's 90's we knew it was a work but there was always two or three angles/story lines when the wrestlers feuding were so convincing as heels. We had that 1 % belief this match was going to be serious the 2 combatants hate one another.
I'm not knocking on current talent they are doing what there told. It's more management.
As business continues to slide downward & It Will they will need to change the show. No doubt it will return to the days of increased believability not a full return of course. Just enough where the matches do not insult one's ability to suspend reality. As Vince likes to say regarding Sports Entertainment.
Even with WWE going global fact there are less eyes watching and attending wrestling matches than ever.
In 60's 70's and 80's WWWF worked MSG 2 even 3 times a month Sold Out, now they go 2 or 3 times a year and often have trouble selling out. And this is with millions of more buts to put in seats.
Now understand I watch todays product no doubt guys and gals are 100x better athletes. The visual appearance of todays product is more astectically appealing to eye. Since most of todays talent are chosen for there looks as opposed to their in ring talent. Especially ladies some are great talents but come on Bella twins with the outfits that look like a soft porn outfit. Let's be honest is anyone watching their matches because there technician's in ring aka great worker.
So in the end Wrestling is still great, just would be nice if it returned somewhat to a more believable performance.
Look at UFC all there doing is Wrestling of 1970's, notice how they are moving towards emphasis on the character aspect of the fighter. Increased attention to pre fight promos almost every main event has a background history of bad blood between the two combatants etc.
Bottom line if your a Old Schooler or a Millennial fan the Sport is a great form of entertainment. Ya sure we will always have personal preference influencing which type of wrestling we prefer. Never allow negatives to get in your head to the degree you become so judgemental the essence of the product is lost.
Entertainment Enjoyment a brief moment in life to forget everything. A chance to jump up scream yell root for your favorite Bad Guy. Fun
Never allow that innocence to be lost. Guard that child like quality protect it if you keep that in mind every match will be Epic.....

Absolutely!! Check out the ripped physique of Lord James Blears, Blackjack Mulligan, Bruiser and Crusher, Buddy Roberts, Jackie Fargo, Cousin Junior, Verne Gagne, Buddy Rose, Billy Wicks, Doug Somers, and Johnny V, among others. Those guys were SHREDDED!!!!!!! They were what wrestlers should look like!!!!!! Wrestling NEEDS guys who look like they just walked out of a bodybuilding competition, while also looking like catalog models!!! The guys today just are all flabby and out of shape, but it's ok, because it's just sports-entertainment
Most Bundy shoots I've seen he buries a lot of people.
Bundy only speaks good about people that are alive mostly, because he knows he would get his ass beat. He sucks Hogans asshole. He only talks shit on dead people. He's a fat loser turd.
Yeah he dogged Andre called him a prick he is the only one that talked bad about Andre the Giant., I did get to see him in person at the Ohio State Fairgrounds after the matches.
Black Jack Mulligan was a tough SOB
Didn't KING KONG BUNDY Pass Away??
Yup
RIP BUNDY
I didn't know he was on Married With Children
Big Member ya 1989 episode. Can't remember the name of the episode but in order for Bud to join his dad's " No Ma'am" group Bud has to crash a wrestling promo. And he dresses up in a bumble bee costume. Pretty funny episode.
The reason they show producers used the family name Bundy was because they were fans of King Kong Bundy.
He also played one of Peg's cousins or brothers in another episode.
🤓🎾
That was a very poor excuse for an episode on King Kong Bundy very disappointed Jim
Why?
When did Bundy feud with JYD?
Way back early 80s
@@enlightenedwarrior7119 ty
Peeeenissss!!!
Bundy was shit. Terrible worker. Nobody ever walked away from a Bundy match thinking "Now that's Hall Of Fame stuff right there"
K thanks for sharing.
But they do now, only because he's dead and fans of today think everyone is a legend.
I remember watching Bundy for the first on WCCW he interrupted an interview being conducted by Marc Lawrence he said he wasn't leaving until he was allowed to wrestle then Kerry and Fritz came out trying to calm him down but he wasn't budging so he was told by Fritz that he would give him a tryout took him to the back and the rest is history
RIP KKB
