[1988-01-02-WWF-Saturday Night's Main Event] Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy

[Superstar Sleeze]

WWF World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy - SNME 1/2/88

 

BUND-A-MANIA! BUN-DY! BUN-DY! BUN-DY! Maybe it is because I loved Married With Children, but Bundy is such a great name. So what happens to Bundy leaves a couple months after this and doesn't wrestle until 1993?!? What's the scoop, dudes?

 

Another solid Hogan match. This one had a little more drama not just because of the Avalanching of the Ref, but Bundy hits NOT one, BUT TWO Avalanches on Hogan. I thought Hogan mixed in a lot of offense and some good selling(hand going numb on the armbar). You knew Bundy was not going to win, but the two Avalanches at least made the Hulk Up seem big, Bundy seems like the hardest person for Hogan to slam. Density? Not as athletic as the other big men? Andre comes in and chokes down Hogan it takes the whole babyface locker room and Duggan's 2x4 to finally break the Giant's deadly grip. ***
