King Kong Bundy and Larry Sharpe – The Lost Tapes

Description

When suggested that legendary trainer and co-founder of The Monster Factory Pretty Boy Larry Sharpe get together with the uproarious King Kong Bundy to record a series of tapes revealing behind-the-scenes stories of the wrestling business, hilarity and a rip-roaring good time ensued. Meant to be an ongoing series sold to fans under the name “Hitting The Road,” we present below a real gem available for the very first time to anybody outside of the Westville, New Jersey-based recording studio in which it was recorded in 1999. Discovered after Larry Sharpe’s neighbor and close friend Walter dusted off some old reels in his recording studio, he sent us the unedited recordings. Join us as we tear through wrestling’s curtain wall and witness a rare conversation between two of wrestling’s more outrageous characters.

It includes crude jokes, strong language, and sexual references. Discretion, etc., is advised. “Hitting The Road” – Lost Tales From King Kong Bundy and Larry Sharpe Larry Sharpe: There was a guy named Brute Bernard. God rest his soul. He [ended his life]. Whether it was on purpose or not, nobody knows for sure. King Kong Bundy: You always hope it was because that’s a heck of a way to die, being so stupid to shoot yourself accidentally. Larry Sharpe: Yeah, it is. He was a French Canadian and was a little rough around the edges. Not that all French Canadians are rough around the edges, but this one in particular was, and it was like he had no manners. He was ignorant but not on purpose, like he didn’t know better. He wouldn’t just eat peanuts in your car and throw the shells on the floor. You would have to make him pick it up. He was like a little kid, you know? And he reeked of garlic. He loved garlic. I love garlic myself, but we’d go work out in a gym in Charlotte, and Brute would come in, and five minutes later, the whole gym smelled like garlic, just coming out of his pores.
