[1985-09-07-WWF-Boston, MA] Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy

[Superstar Sleeze]

WWF World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy - Boston 9/7/85

 

Bundy has Jimmy Hart as his manager here, which honestly does make him feel midcard. I saw an episode of Tuesday Night Titans where Heenan became Bundy's manager, but there was no date, I expect it was around October of 85 so shortly after this. Bundy broke Andre's sternum at Maple Leaf Gardens in August of 85 during a Big John Studd match, but that was not aired on Primetime until October 1st and then shortly after that Bundy & Studd became the core of the Heenan Family.

 

Wow really boring match. Probably the worst Hogan match I have seen in my recent run. Chinlock city and we follow that up with a bearhug. Give me Muraco back! The Avalanches are good. I wish Studd had a move like that. Just that one move gives Bundy so much gravitas. Hogan kicks out, HULK UP! Hart gives Bundy the Megaphone and BOOM! DQ! Hogan is bleeding. Hogan clobbers the Mouth of the South to send the Boston crowd home happy.

 

Standard Hogan match with pretty boring action until the Avalanches.
