Biggest Fan: Lucas Keyes "Cartoonishness"
Haters: Barry M. Reardon & Jesse Reardon
We're really getting into the exciting part of this list now, as superstars from here on up were pretty close to consensus picks for the Top 50. The entrant here, King Kong Bundy, is certainly deserving of such unity among our expert voters. The headliner of WrestleMania 2, all 468 pounds of him, was both charismatic and terrifying. Bundy was also famous for demanding that referees count all the way to five on his pinfalls.
King Kong Bundy wrestled in the WWF very early in his career. He was in the main event at WrestleMania 2, a steel cage match against Hulk Hogan, at only 28 years of age. He'd also squashed Special Delivery Jones in 23 seconds the year prior at the first WrestleMania. Then, at the third WrestleMania, Bundy bodyslammed and dropped an elbow on Little Beaver, getting his team disqualified in the process. That result makes more sense when you realize that Bundy was almost eight times the size of Little Beaver, who was a midget wrestler.
After a six-year absence from the WWF, Bundy returned as a member of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation in 1994. This stint in the federation was rather brief, although it did feature another WrestleMania match for "The Walking Condominium" against The Undertaker. The last several years have been spent wrestling in various independent promotions, acting and doing stand-up comedy. I'm sure wrestlers everywhere are grateful that this superstar spends his evenings slaying audiences in night clubs now rather than slaying his opponents in the ring.
