Please welcome King Kong Bundy

The PWTorch website (that stands for Pro Wrestling), says that WWE legend King Kong Bundy is working on a career in standup comedy. They cite a story in the Poughkeepsie paper.

Bundy says he’s doing stand-up comedy across the Northeast U.S., including New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. “I’m laying pretty low. I’m starting my standup comedy. I’m getting back into that now,” Bundy told Phil Strum of the Poughkeepsie (N.Y.) Journal.

The figure above is a Bundy action figure that’s getting $49 on amazon.com. Bundy debuted (in wrestling) in 1981 and wrestled for nearly two decades.

At his peak, he weighed a quarter of a ton. We suppose heckling won’t be a problem.
