• Former WWE Star Mistakes King Kong Bundy For George Steele
Former WWE Superstar Enzo Amore confused King Kong Bundy for George “The Animal” Steele while writing a tweet about the passing of Bundy.
Below is what Enzo tweeted:
?? #RIPKingKongBuddy the epitome of prowrestlin i recall goin 2 shows @ MSG w/ my grandparents, my Grandma Raphaela loved em & hyped em up the whole ride in, plenty of wrestlers risked it all that night, but I never forgot the guy w/ the green tongue who ate the turnbuckle ??

This is just like in that shoot interview with Simon Gotch, where he told a story that Enzo Amore BS'ed about being a student of the game for so many years…then mistook Kalisto (whose real name is Manny Rodriguez) for the WCCW territory great, Manny Fernandez.
