WWE: King Kong Bundy vs Jake Roberts- January, 1987



Source:WWE- King Kong Bundy. I would say the nickname goes with him like burgers go with fries.

"Live from the Philadelphia Spectrum 10th January 1987" 

On paper, this looks like a total matchup. Jake Roberts, maybe 260 and in great shape with a lot of that weight being muscle on his 6'5-6'6 frame, but King Kong Bundy at 475, maybe bigger than that and he does look like a big fat man, obese even, but a lot of that weight was actually bulk and muscle. Similar to Andre The Giant, but King King was a foot shorter. So this looks like a mismatch. But to sound corny: pro wrestling matches aren't won on paper. They're won in backrooms by the producers of these shows.
