22. King Kong Bundy

When the late Gorilla Monsoon called King Kong Bundy “a condominium with legs” he wasn’t far off. Bundy looked liked he was created on an easel. His 450 pounds were spread over a very wide frame, a hairless body and pale white skin. Bundy looked like a movie monster come to life. Throw in a vicious attitude and better than average ring skills for a big man you had one of the best monster heels of the 80’s. In the era of Hulkamania he was one of the few people that fans believed could beat the Hulkster which was proven when he headlined Wrestlemania 2 in a cage against him. Since his best years were for Vince, King Kong Bundy may be able to get into the Hall. It may really come down to what terms he left on.
