In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence just across the river in
Philadelphia, the Courier-Post sports staff has compiled a
wide-ranging list of the top 250 South Jersey athletes of
all time. On the list at #245 is King Kong Bundy from
Washington Township High. Below is what it says:
245. Chris Pallies, Washington Township
This 1975 graduate of Washington Township was better known
as his stage name “King Kong Bundy” where he was beloved as
a trash-talking villain in professional wrestling. The 6-
foot-4, 450-pound behemoth wrestled on several different
professional tours during a 26-year career. Pallies won a
two-time Region 8 champ (heavyweight in 1973 and 1974) for
the Minutemen and later won a JUCO title for Gloucester
County College.
