Enzo Amore Remembers King Kong Bundy By Confusing Him With George Steele; Enzo Admits Mistake
Oh, Enzo Amore.
Late Monday night, WWE legend King Kong Bundy passed away at the age of 61. Throughout the night and into the morning, various wrestling personalities have tweeted out their memories and condolences in regards to Bundy. Enzo Amore tried to do the same thing. But he got some details wrong.
—- #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 —-

Either Enzo has a bad memory, he’s not very smart, or King Kong Bundy stole George ‘The Animal’ Steele’s gimmick for a night. Steele passed away on Feb. 16, 2017.
The tweet is still up, and even if Enzo deletes it, it will live on the Internet forever.
