Back at WrestleMania II, the huge King Kong Bundy wrestled Hulk Hogan inside a Steel Cage for the WWF Title. That would prove to be Bundy's peak as a performer; even though he'd work The Undertaker at 'Mania XI in 1995, it was clear his best days were behind him.

Bundy died on 4 March. In his book, Bret Hart once wrote that the big man had a great sense of humour, heart of gold and could often be found laughing and having a good time backstage. That's a nice thought for his fans to have now he's gone.
