My first thought when I heard this today. Can't believe I cheered for someone with such a racist name. It wasn't his name I liked, I just liked the guys that weren't afraid to be cheatin' MF'ers. Hated the pretty boy rasslers.
Also, Bundy was the inspiration for the surname of the family in Married...with Children. He even appeared on there a couple of times, once as an uncle of theirs.

He would have made good NCAA official. He would have no problem allowing five seconds in the lane.
Bundy in his prime actually moved well for a man his size. His signature move was to throw his opponent into the turnbuckle, then charge all the way across the ring and squash them with his bulk.

this is why unconscious bias doesn't exist. dolph got railroaded and he capitulated. thanks for posting this hayden. but now i'm confused. should fernando have been offended for being compared to a fictitious ape-like creature or to a white wrestler?

I think I had a copy of wrestling mag and I think King Kong rassled with Pamero Firbo. His BO knocked me out in 2 seconds flat.

That's why I always mispronounce Pampas as Pumfus. Thus, Wild Bull Pumfus.

I always thought it was for another reason.

Wasn't Brody mistaken for a drug dealer outside a hotel in Puerto Rico or the Bahamas and gunned down in cold blood?Multiple King Kong wrestlers ... all of them are gone now (I think):

He was stabbed to death in the locker room shower by his fellow co-promoter Jose Gonzalez (Invader I) in Puerto Rico. No one has ever pinned down what the issue was exactly, and Gonzalez was found not guilty by means of self defense. Most think it was murder but nobody would testify against him. Some were probably scared for their own lives but also Brody was a bully and every promoter he worked for had problems with him at one time or another. They'd actually rode together to the show that evening according to Dan Spivey (whom was scheduled to face Brody the night he died).

Verne Gagne made his pro wrestling debut vs King Kong Kashey back in the 1949.
There was also King Kong Kirk, a British wrestler, that passed away after suffering a heart attack during a match in 1987.

Thanks. We lost Buzz Sawyer (overdose to painkillers?) roughly the same time we lost Brody. Both young men, maybe mid to late thirties I'm guessing, based on their time with NWA wrestling in the 1980's.
