Hate to hear about the passing of King Kong Bundy. He was so cool to me when I walked in that @WWE dressing room as an absolute nobody in 1986.

I met King Kong Bundy in 1999. I had just started training and was helping out backstage at the show he was on. I’ll always remember him being really funny and just such a great guy. I wish I had been lucky enough to cross paths with him again.

My thoughts go out to his family.

So sad to hear of the passing of @KingKongBundy at only 61 years old.

I suggested to Cowboy Bill Watts that we add the 5 count to Chris’ presentation. It added to Bundy’s mystique.

Last saw Chris Thanksgiving Weekend at @WrestleCade, same as @TheGeneOkerlund 🙏 pic.twitter.com/E5ltpfMn9e

Wow. King Kong Bundy was soooo good and ahead of his time. He was a machine and he never ran out of gas. @WWEBigE stole his 5 count in NXT too. #RIP

Sad new about King Kong Bundy passing away, my thoughts are with his family. KKB was always funny, witty & kind to my brother & I. I’ll never forget how impressed he was with a young #BrotherNero eating his clothesline like this..

Rest In Peace, King Kong Bundy. pic.twitter.com/3TcoXxwq8k
