King Kong Bundy: Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels Were Terrible WWE Champions

More from WWE

Not much has been heard from former WWE star King Kong Bundy in a very long time. He was last seen in the WWE in 1995. While he had a great career there, based on the interview he had with Vince Russo, it doesn’t seem like Bundy will be having any relation with WWE any time soon.

Check out some of the highlights from the interview on Russo’s website pyroandballyhoo.com, via Wrestling Inc.

"On his 1994 run, Russo says Bundy was only 37 at the time:“I was a young kid. That was a brilliant run. I will never forget that for as long as I live. The business was on its ass. You couldn’t put people on a seat with a crowbar and I’m sitting around watching Barry Horowitz doing interviews and I was doing none. I was there for almost 18 months but they didn’t do anything with me. Vince called me and said he was going to give me a super push. I went back and got nothing. That is a very cold place when they are not doing anything with you. I’m watching Barry Horowitz, nothing against Barry Horowitz, I like him, he has no business in professional business, but I like him. I’m watching Horowitz do interviews and I’m doing none.”On what Bundy did between 1989 and 1994 / Vince McMahon:“I did a computer commercial in late 87. It ran for two years. For three years, I worked for the computer company. The other years I bought a bar – that didn’t work out. I spent a lot of money. I gambled a lot. I did a computer commercial. It was a Dutch company called BenDex. It was a Dutch company that did $6 billion in sales. I do the commercial. All of a sudden, I got full page ads in USA Today, Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated. I hoped Vince wouldn’t find out about it. Needless to say, Vince found out about it big time. Ever since that day, and I’ve been told this and never revealed this, ‘that was the kiss of death to your career’. I say ‘To hell with Vince McMahon'”.More from Daily DDTIt’s time for Adam Cole and MJF to drop the ROH tag team titlesTom Lawlor talks MLW return, AEW opportunity, CM Punk’s WWE return and moreEddie Kingston stands to gain the most from the AEW Continental ClassicTrish Stratus on WWE NXT would help elevate that women’s divisionRandy Orton signs with SmackDown to go after The BloodlineBundy considers Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels to be terrible world champions:“… The advent on the downfall of this business was champions like Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Horrible world champions. Did not look like grown men in my opinion. I read Bret’s book. Wow. You cannot pick up a page without being amazed at how this man’s ego was out of control. Bret wrote in his book I called him ‘little man’. I always called him the ‘little hitter’ because he looked like a little kid in the ring. I come back six years later and he’s the world champion… Total piece of sh**, Bret Hart. I used to be friends with Bret. I stayed at his house one time back in the day.”"

These are just three parts of a highly fascinating interview from the former WWE star. I advise you to check it out in its entirety.
