Word has just gotten out through several sources that WWE WrestleMania 2 main eventer and star King Kong Bundy, real name Christopher Alan Pallies, has passed away at the age of 61.

Longtime friend David Herro was the first to post about the legend’s passing and Shane Helms also posted his condolences. In addition to the WWE, Bundy was a presence in promotions such as World Class Championship Wrestling, the AWA and the NWA.

We all at WrestleZone would like to extend our deepest condolences to King Kong Bundy’s family and friends during this time.

RIP my friend. Thanks for your humor and kindness. #KingKongBundy pic.twitter.com/MdzLtvyy6S — Hurricane Helms (@ShaneHelmsCom) March 5, 2019
