One of pro wrestling's great heels has died.
“Very sad news,” wrestling star Bundy, whose real name was Christopher Alan Pallies, famously faced Hogan for the WWF heavyweight championship in 1986′s WrestleMania 2, the event that became a staple for the industry. Bundy, often cast as the heel, or villain, lost that staged cage match.WWE notedIn another prominent match, Bundy fought Andre the Giant at Madison Square Garden. The 1985 match was billed because of the combatants’ size.
Bundy, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, left the WWF in the late ’80s and returned in 1994. He exited again after losing to the Undertaker in 1995′s WrestleMania XI, according to WWE.WWE’s bio says Bundy “will always be remembered as one of the most unique and devastating individuals to ever set foot in the ring.”Devastated to hear of the passing of one of the first big stars to work with me and help me when I first started in pro wrestling.
