Saw him wrestle Hulk Hogan at the Philadelphia Spectrum (where Rocky was filmed) in the mid-80's. These huge fat fucks never live long.

61 is young, just not for life-long fat guys w/ diabeetus (in my best Wilford Brimley voice).

I had no idea he was only 61. He must have started his wrestling career when quite young. if you'd asked me last night "Hulkotron [one of the bigger guys around here], how old is King Kong Bundy?" I would have guessed he was in his 70s.

This is true of most actors who play "Heavies" in film and tv too.

Bundy told me Road Warrior Animal was the strongest wrestler he ever faced in the ring.

Said it was intimidating.

That's respect.

RIP

Well yes to John Goodman, Chris Farley, and John Candy being great guys in person...but by heavies I meant villainous heavies.

Animal had a legit 600 bench. Met him at the Orange Bowl after a card around 1990. Thick as hell around 300 pounds.

I thought he was like 40 in the 1980's. One of those guys who looks about the same at 20 as he does at 60.

One of the greatest gimmicks ever, DEMANDING the referee count to 5 even though 3 count wins the match.

12 years old, was at LA Sports Arena for Wrestlemania 2. Bundy Hogan steel cage.

RIP. Did seem like a decent guy.

Because of his size, he got pushed immediately and didn’t have to pay several years of dues as do most guys.

RIP

I fear for John Goodman's health. He will be 67 in June.

Putting Keenan on that list was funnier than anything he's ever done.

John Goodman is actually in better shape (and health) now than he has been for most of his adult life.

Agreed.

Very surprised about his age.

Thought he was much older.

Was great in an early episode of Married with Children playing a relative of Peggy Bundy.
