Wrestling legend King Kong Bundy, real name Christopher Alan Pallies, has died. He was 61.
The New Jersey native, who stood at 6-foot-4 and weighed in at 458 pounds, had a dominant wrestling career, and chalked up a record-fast win versus S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones at the very first WrestleMania.
Bundy main-evented WrestleMania 2, losing to Hulk Hogan in a steel cage match for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.

Pallies played two different roles on TV's "Married With Children" — first as Peggy's brother and then as his wrestling character — and appeared in Richard Pryor's "Moving." He also had a guest spot on "Boy Meets World" and did an episode of "Weird Science" as himself.
Bundy's wrestling name was a combination of the monster King Kong and serial killer Ted Bundy. Also of note, the Bundys in "Married With Children" were named after Pallies' dominant WWE character.
