King Kong Bundy was planning to appear at a wrestling convention next month in New York, and tweeted about it shortly before he died.
Outside of the ring, the wrestling legend made a number of TV appearances, including in the US sitcom ‘Married…with Children”.
Bundy was part of a class-action lawsuit filed against WWE in 2016, which alleged the company failed to protect wrestlers against head injuries that led to brain damage. The lawsuit was dismissed in 2018.
