King Kong Bundy puts comedy on the mat tonight at the Colosseum
If World Wrestling Federation legend King Kong Bundy were a stand-up comedian, what would he joke about?
The time he interfered in a match between former cohort Big John Studd (R.I.P.) and Andre the Giant (again, R.I.P.) in Toronto on Aug. 18, 1985, and broke the Giant's sternum after leveling countless Bundy Splashes on the big man? Or how it itches to wear those huge man leotards with the shoulder straps? Or what it's like to pull on Hulk Hogan's skullette?
Well, Bundy is a comedian now, and fellow funnyman Jeff Collins says the dude is pretty good.
Bundy will host the "Heavyweights of Comedy" event at 9:30 p.m. Friday at the Colosseum, 1206 N. Union St., Wilmington, which Collins organized.
"He starts off talking about how big and ugly he is," said Collins, a local comic who will also perform tonight. "He looks a little different now because he has hair. I didn't recognize him."
Also on the bill are Mike Petro, from the NBC show "Last Comic Standing," and Jimmy Graham, the self-proclaimed "Roundboy of Comedy" who had a role in the recent Mark Wahlberg football flick "Invincible."
Admission is $10. Doors open at 8:30 with free food such as pizza and wings (should you aspire to attaining Bundy and Graham's build). For details, call 377-4713.
