[5.0] "Ehh, he was just adequate in my mind. While he was never an outstanding performer or character during his time, he was at least better than some of the lackluster big men of his time."
[8.0] "He played very well the monster heel gimmick during his 2 WWF runs. Always believable as a big monster, he lacked in ring skills but he compensated with good charisma while his mic-skills flaws were always offset by his managers. don't understand why his main event at Wrestlemania is considered the worst cause that was simply an average match face vs monster heel but there have been far worse main event matches at Wrestlemania even during 2000's or 2010's."
[7.0] "King Kong Bundy was a big mass of a man who in his early careeer would usually demolish his opponents and ask for "5 count". The earliest footage I've seen of him is his minor feud with the Von Erichs in World Class, then a short run in the AWA, and finally to the WWF, where 10-year old me was frightened to death of him. I remember watching him and Don Muraco assault Hulk Hogan on Saturday Night's Main event and that broke my little kid heart. But Hogan beating him at Wrestlemania 2 was vengeance enough for me. I loved his team in the Heenan Family with Big John Studd. He had a brief feud with Bam Bam Bigelow before disappearing from wrestling for 5 years. When he returned, he joined the Million Dollar Corporation with Ted DiBiase, but he just wasn't the same. The Undertaker beat him in his highest profile match. After that, he just kind of faded away. I always felt he was a man full of monster potential that was never fully realized after Hogan beat him in the cage. One of childhood favorites to watch."
[6.0] "Bundy didn't do a whole lot of fancy moves, but he didn't need to. Dude used his mass and could just overwhelm opponents and used his weight like a big guy should. His ability had noticeably declined by the time he returned to the WWF in 1994 and I believe his knees were the reason for the slowdown. Still, 1985-1988 was a good time except for how far he fell down on the card when he went from main eventing against Hulk Hogan at Mania 2, to doing a midget match at the next years Mania."
[9.0] "Bundy was a very underrated big man. Not that bad in the ring when you consider the era and he was also pretty good on promos. Played his part well. Memorable character from the 80's. RIP"
[6.0] "About the time he first left the WWF, would have been the PERFECT time to just retire, rest on his laurels and look back at a solidified heel legacy in the 1980's. Unfortunately, he opted to come back in the 90's and helped make the WWF at that time nearly unwatchable. Even though the whole product sucked back then; he was blatantly, woefully out of place and seemed like a relic from a by gone era, *ahem* a relic we didn't want to rediscover. I loved his early career trajectory from Pre National Expansion WWF Enhancement talent "Chris Canyon", to baby face "Big Daddy Bundy" and eventually the early phases of the monster heel character "King Kong Bundy" - no complaints there. He helped build World Class in the early 80's as an integral part of H & H International (maybe THE integral part) and I can only give that era strong recommendations. I enjoyed his early WWF run completely. In fact, the only Hulk Hogan program that I feel (to even this day) did great for ALL PARTIES INVOLVED, was the Bundy feud. Even though the WWF tenure was mostly directionless (outside of the Hogan feud), Bundy did great there and was quite the draw. The 5 count bit will always be awesome. So many of those points earned in the 80's though... FLUSH! because his 90's work ranges from bland n boring to borderline BAD. Watch him all the way until 1988, then avoid completely. 6.25 rounded down."
[5.0] "Perfectly fine at the time he was around in as a big foil for the babyfaces to go over and proven as a main event draw in his better days, but he was NEVER a good wrestler by any measure beyond being a safe worker that could work a half-decent abet basic format of match. Didn't really have any charisma and his one note standard matchup, AKA the "underdog babyface against the big bad" would get old if he was around for too long in one place. Wasn't as limited as half of the big men around at the same time like Kamala or Studd but that really isn't saying much. Fine for the time but his later years were unbearable."
[4.0] "Not a fan. His in ring skills were poor but he did deliver his avalanche with enthusiasm. Had some of the worst Wrestlemania matches in history."
[4.0] "Served his job as a massive heel in the mid 80s. However, his capabilities in the ring we're limited, his size made him a must-see man for the first few WrestleManias."
[7.0] "All time great name and probably second to Andre as far as 80? s big men go. Bundy was athletic enough to provide the cool visuals for his opponents to make for some interesting rewatching."
[4.0] "King Kong Bundy war sehr imposant mit seiner Größe und seinem Gewicht, dafür war er aber im Ring schlecht und wirklich viel Charisma war auch nicht vorhanden. Als Heel Bedrohung war er ganz gut und geeignet aber mehr war bei ihm nicht zu holen. Alles in allem gebe ich KKB 4 Punkte"
[4.0] "Terrible in the ring. Never excited me. He was only notable for the cage match against Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 2 and beating SD Jones in 8 secs. He was fast and could move in the ring. He was great for being fast for a big guy. The rest was boring wrestling styles. He just had flab and only ran and jumped on his opponents. Infamous indicent was when he almost killed Little Beaver. Come on no common sense. Too rough on his opponents."
[6.0] "He had an impressive look & cast an imposing shadow, but when it came time to get down in the ring, more often than not it was a performance that was not very inspiring. Even a bigger guy like Yoko moved around at twice the speed that Bundy moved with. Two of his most known matches are against Hogan & Taker & both of those were pretty poor. I just watched a Bundy match against Hillbilly Jim which reatured pretty much nothing aside from a long headlock & a couple failed shoulder tackles. That's a Bundy match in a nutshell. That said, he was a big monster when that was something people were well into, so I can't fault him too hard."
[8.0] "he was a big man... he had a big man gimmick... if you are going to have a demand for big men in wrestling you need some of them. guys this size are not going to be spot monkeys bundy had a good look... a good routine... he was very believable as an unstoppable monster. you could sell a wrestlemania with him in the main event against Hogan. you could believe he could be part of a team that would cripple andre. he was a credible opponent for the road warriors at their best. i cant rate higher... because there was other guys in the same level... i wouldnt put him miles ahead of one man gang, or kamala, or even crusher blackwell... and certainly hes not andre. rating him a 5. 5 is just ridiculous though. maybe if you saw him in his late 40s? bundy was a major attraction and a top of the card performer in his prime and he was a star in the early wwf run when it went national"
[4.0] "Bundy thrived in an era where big guys could get away with just standing there and letting better workers bounce off of them. Ask more of him, though, and you were left seeing how limited he really was."
[4.0] "Eine imposante Erscheinung, über 1, 90 m, über 200 kg, Glatze. Aber ansonsten kann man wirklich nicht viel zu ihm sagen, mehr als ein Avalanche war einfach nicht drin. Vermutlich zeigte sich damals schon Vince McMahons Vorliebe zu Big Men."
[7.0] "He had some great appeal early on but I got bored with him after a while. After a few high profile fights he basically just became a "monster" gimmick like Earthquake. He shouldn't have been a main attraction as long as he was and I found his promos and in-ring sometimes pretty bland after his initial push."
[3.0] "Proof that personality can only get you so far, and even then Bundy didn't have that much of one. Really his 'give 'em a 5 count' gimmick was the best thing about the guy. Among the giants in the industry he really was nothing special like Andre, Taker or Giant Baba. Hell hes not even at Big Shows level. He was good for being a side attraction though and is at least a little worthy of being called a legend, even if hes on the lower spectrum."
[7.0] "One of the more enjoyable "giants" of his era, Bundy is not a world beater in the ring but does have some decent speed and knows how to use his weight effectively and get the crowd engaged. Had a fun run with Heenan as well. I have mostly good impression of Bundy, especially compared to some of his contemporaries."
[0.0] "Never had good matches EVER! And on top of all of that he's an a-hole. Just a bad person and an even worse wrestler. Guy has no understanding of the business and craps on people who actually do. Drew $ with 1 person, and it really has nothing to do with him. Screw him."
[0.0] "I honestly have nothing good to say about King Kong Bundy. The guy had literally no wrestling ability, He had absolutely zero mic skills. Bundy's gimmick was the same tired, stale big guy gimmick and his look was boring. He has never been apart of anything interesting and has never had one good match in his entire career even when he was up against talented performers."
[5.0] "Bundy war einfach nur groß und massig. Er besaß weder die Ausstrahlung eines Yokozuna, noch die technischen Fähigkeiten eines Vader. Sein Kampfstil war sehr überschaubar und langweilig. Auch mangelte es ihm erheblich an Entertainer-Qualitäten. Den Monster-Heel spielte er ganz gut, doch da gab es wahrhaft bessere Wrestler in dieser Rolle. Daher gibt es von mir nur 5 Punkte."
[6.0] "Pallies war groß und massig. Und genau darauf war sein Repertoire abgestimmt. Es gibt keinen der bei dieser Körpergröße-Masse Kombination viel mehr auf die Reihe bekam oder heute noch bekommt. Kommt jetzt nicht mit Vader, der hatte in Realität rund 25 kg weniger. Dafür war Pallies' Arbeit am Mikrofon stark. Man sehe sich den Mann vor der WWF Zeit an. er konnte gute Interviews geben und hatte Ausstrahlung. Nicht so schlecht wie er häufig gemacht wird."
[7.0] "Bundy had the massive size advantage and a good persona, as a bad guy with a big mouth who you don't want to mess with. Was a strong midcard heel monster and was able to briefly move up the card as a new "insurmountable" challenge for Hulk Hogan."
[5.0] "Hatte irgendwie was. Konnte im Ring nicht wirklich viel aber er hatte viel Charisma. Ist eigentlich der Grund warum ich die WM2 DVD überhaupt noch einlege."
[3.0] "Eine Erscheinung im Ring - und das war's auch schon. Viel hatte Bundy ja nicht zu bieten, aber zumindest seinen Charakter hat er gut 'rübergebracht. Einen Bonuspunkt gibt's für den Auftritt bei Al Bundy."
[6.0] "Hab ihn eigentlich gern gesehen obwohl er nie wirklich gut war, jedoch konnte man ihm sie Monster-Rolle abnehmen. Am besten fand ich seinen 5-Count."
[9.0] "Sehr guter Heel , der sein Gimmick gut und vor allem überzeugend spielt(e). ImRing nicht der Beste , war aber trotzdem sehr unterhaltsam. Ich sehe ihn in den nächsten Jahren in der WWE Hall of Fame."
[6.0] "Bundy war zwar nie der talentierteste Wrestler, aber dafür wusste er den Heel gut zu verkaufen. Er hätte auch durchaus einen guten WWE Champion abgegeben und wäre ein würdiger Sieger über Hulk Hogan gewesen."
[4.0] "King Kong Bundy ist der Inbegriff des Old School, denn damals waren auch langsame Wrestler beliebt, hauptsache schön böse. Aber meines Erachtens ist er einfach zu langsam als dass seine Matches interessant wären. Den Heel verkörpert er aber schon gut, 4 Punkte."
[10.0] "Also, um ehrlich zu sein war Bundy nie ein garant für ein hochklassiges Match, doch das war aufgrund seines Gewichts auch nicht möglich. Trotzdem ist er mir symphatisch, hat Ausstrahlung und seine Auftritte bei Married with Children haben mir ebenfalls gefallen."
[1.0] "Sehr schlechter Kämpfer und nicht einen Funken interessant. Miese Leistungen am Mikro und in der Darstellung seiner Rolle. Mehr zu schreiben ist mir dieser Klops nicht wert."
[7.0] "Wusste immer zu unterhalten. Nun gut, vom Wrestling-Sport her sogar noch unter dem Niveau von John Cena (! ) doch kauft man ihm die Heel Rolle locker ab, seine Statur tut das übrige. Hatte wirklich ein paar schöne Momente in der WWF, leider war der Charakter zu schnell abgenutzt und gegen andere Big Men wie André, Vader oder Yokozuna war er im direkten Vergleich nie vorne."
[6.0] "Alleine sein 5-Count war legendär, trotzdem kenne ihn eigentlich nur aus der Mitte 90er Zeit, als er der Million-Dollar-Corporation beigetreten ist, war halt der übliche Monsterheel mit überschaubaren In-Ring-Fähigkeiten!"
[6.0] "Ein sehr guter Heel. Hatte es mit dem Wrestlen nicht so aber sein Mic Work war inordnung. Man kann nicht sagen er war mies im Ring, er war ein Big Man mit üblichen Aktionen, aber besser als manch heutiger Riese."
[3.0] "Ist mit einigem Tam-Tam Mitte der 90iger noch mal in die WWF zurückgekehrt, aber nach dem ich ein, zwei Matches gesehen habe, war ich enttäuscht. Ist weder ein besonders furchteinflößender Big Man, noch hat er im Ring sonderlich viel drauf."
[6.0] "Im Ring natürlich limitiert, aber auch nicht der schlechteste mit der Statur. Für das Mic hatte er immer fähigere Männer als Manager und ein ganz großer Erfolg war ihm auch nie vergönnt. Aber als Monster-Heel war er sehr gut und sein 5-Count ist auch legendär. Als echter "Bundy" bekommt er noch einen Sympathiepunkt und kommt so auf eine 3."
[8.0] "Ein sehr guter Heel, wenn auch zu einer anderen Zeit als der unsrigen. In dieser Funktion aber mehr als ausreichend und sogar des öfteren sehr unterhaltsam."
[2.0] "Ganz ehrlich: ich fand den immer schei***. Weder gegen Hogan im Stahlkäfig noch gegen den Taker oder irgendwen anderes hat er was tolles gezeigt. Er fällt halt in McMahons Monster-Beuteschema"
[4.0] "War bestimmt ein guter Heel bzw. ich weiß ja, dass er es war, aber wrestlerisch nicht gerade mit großen Fähigkeiten gesegnet. Lebt mehr von seiner imposanten Gestalt!"
[6.0] "In der NWA und WCCW wirklich überzeugender Heel, dann ist er mMn aber zu fett und schwerfällig für's Wrestling geworden. Nach WM2 kam dann auch nicht mehr viel aber die alten Zeiten reichen noch für 'ne 3!"
[6.0] "Zu seiner Glanzzeit legitimer und guter Heel nach dem Geschmack von VKM. Gute Rolle gegen Hogan, in der Million Dollar Corp. eigentlich nur noch ärgerlich. Nahezu kein In-Ring Skills, durchwachsenes Mic Work ... und der Namenspate der "schrecklich netten Familie" war der amerikanische Serienkiller Ted Bundy, nich dieser King Kong hier. @ Mountie - sorry, sollte ich mich irren - in diversen Quellen über Ted Bundy steht dieser als Namenspate für Al - kann ja auch falsch sein."
[6.0] "In der Nachbetrachtung ein wirklich guter Heel, dem man seine Rolle abgenommen hat, angsteinflößender als manch andere Ulknudel heutzutage. Technisch natürlich eher beschränkt, darum nur die 3..."
[6.0] "Natürlich ist er limitiert in seinen Aktionen. Trotzdem hat er einiges geschafft, was ein Mark Henry nie können wird. Ich kann mir das Steel Cage Match gegen Hogan immer wieder anschauen. Sein zweiter WWF-Run war ja geprägt vom 5-count. Ich habe es geliebt, wie er seine Bahnen durch die WWF Jobber gezogen hat."
[8.0] "King Kong Bundy ist immer noch ein sehr guter Brawler seines Faches trotz seines hohen Gewichtes. Menschlich ist er seinen Fans sehr zuvorkommend. Seine Rolle in den 80ern als Heel in der WWf spielte niemand so unnachahmlich gut wie er. Schade das Legenden alt werden."
[4.0] "Nope, die Seriengründer haben in einem Playboy-Interview einmal explizit erklärt, dass Ted nicht der Namenspate ist. Es waren tatsächlich KKB und Dusty, die den beiden Familien ihre Namen gaben."
