• “The guy I always wish I could have wrestled even in my early 50s is Roman Reigns” – 2x WWE Hall Of Famer
On a recent episode of his weekly ‘To Be The Man’ podcast, NWA/WCW/WWF Legend Ric Flair revealed who he wishes he could have wrestled during his active in-ring pro wrestling career, that finally came to an end last year.
The one name, the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer revealed, he would’ve loved to have had the chance to wrestle while he was still active is ‘The Tribal Chief’ himself, Roman Reigns.
Here’s what The Nature Boy said:
“The guy I always wish I could have wrestled even in my early 50s is Roman.
He’s the only guy I wish I could have wrestled that I didn’t get to, because I wrestled everybody else.
Not at my best, but at least I got a chance to be in the ring with them.”

• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (March 4, 2019) – Old School WWF Legend Passed Away
On this day in 2019, we lost Old School WWF Legend & WrestleMania 2 Main Eventer King Kong Bundy (Real name: Christopher Pallies) at the age of 63, due to complications from diabetes.
King Kong Bundy wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation from 1985 till 1988 and again from 1994 to 1995, but later continued to wrestle on the independent scene until he retired in 2006.
The highlight of his professional wrestling career was without a shadow of a doubt, main eventing WWF WrestleMania 2 against World Champion “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan in a Steel Cage.
King Kong Bundy has yet to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, which they failed on doing while he was still alive, similar to another big man, Big Van Vader, who also passed away without being inducted (which is obviously going to happen in the future).
Bundy guest-starred in 2 episodes of the legendary comedy series “Married with children”.
† REST IN PEACE KING KONG BUNDY!
