I cant believe he was only 61.

So he was like 29 years old at Wrestlemania 2. :eek:

Yeah that's what gets me.

Not many people fit that early 80s wrestling heel more than him.

My favourite bit of trivia about him is that the producers of Married with Children used him as the inspiration for the family name of the show. He guested on there a couple of times as well.

I think Wrestlemania III was the first one I ever saw...since he was so big and so bald, yeah, I'd have assumed he was older then too. Still remember him tag-teaming with Andre the Giant. Can't remember which of them there was a money challenge on for anyone that could bodyslam them in a match (naturally only ever achieved by Hulk Hogan), but I think it was Bundy.

To be honest, I thought I'd read he'd died a decade ago, but guess not.

Married With Children is probably what I most associate with him. I didn't really have any awareness of wrestling until like 1991 or around there.

That bumblebee episode of Married With Children is my absolute favorite by far.

RIP Bundy.
