The 10 Best WWE Superstar Appearances in TV Shows 

Goldbergs
There's a long history of wrestlers appearing on TV shows--and some recent cases, too.

#7 King Kong Bundy on Married with Children

King Kong Bundy Married
King Kong Bundy made two appearances on Married with Children.

After an early appearance on Married with Children in which King Kong Bundy played Peg Bundy’s brother, he returned to the show for a more proper wrestling themed episode.

The episode sees Bud try to earn partnership in his old man’s crew by getting his photo taken with King Kong at a wrestling show.

The kid chooses the convoluted route of disguising himself as a wrestler to get access, which ultimately leads him to an impromptu match with the super heavyweight.

It’s a silly episode of a not particularly smart show but nonetheless gives King Kong the opportunity to shine very much playing a monster heel analogous to the character wrestling fans have long known him for.

The episode came out in 1995, which was during Bundy’s largely forgettable last WWE run as part of Ted Dibiase’s Million Dollar Corporation stable.

For as nonsensical as this piece of TV history ultimately is, it does capture a hint of what wrestling means as an escape for so much of a predominantly male fan base.
