Recently I dug out these compilations I bought from Bnewt. One of them was for King Kong Bundy. I have pontificated on Bundy earlier so lets skip that.
These are his final major matches in the WWF against arch rival Hulk Hogan.
The first is from SNME 13 that aired in December 1987.
First things first Bobby Heenan announces that Andre will be in his corner.
Bundy and Hogan tie up hesitant. Then Hogan is unsuccessful knocking Bundy down. Bundy works over Hogan's back. Bundy screws up and it looks like its going to be a short night as Andre trips Hogan up. But the ref sends Andre to the back. I've went into this before but Andre is really underated. He may have been slow and broken down but he project an aura that can't be matched.
Anyway the match continues with Hogan and Bundy trading control back in forth. There is this big story of Bundy trying to solve the Hulk Up. Only bad thing here is the finish. Because the referee had to be really out of position to miss Heenan intefereing. I loved Hogan sucker punching Bundy and mauling Heenan.

The rematch
Okay Heenan is injured and Andre has a managers license. This match starts out with Hoganbattering Bundy. Bundy eventually takes over by working over Hogan's arm. This is a really good match and should of been on the DVDVR Best of the 80s list.

Update
Vader vs Bart Gunn
http://rapidshare.com/files/215885403/Vader_vs_Bart_Gunn.avi
Really good for a 1998 WWF Vader match. Bart had punched out Vader on Raw. So they had a match on Heat. Not much else to say.Its just a nice match with Bart Gunn trying to punch out Vader and Vader trying to sqash Bart.
Vader vs Ken Shamrock Heat September 98

Decent enough tv match. Ken is really trying hard here. Vader is giving an effort but its clear he is resting up for AJPW. I wonder how often these two wrestled on house shows because they seem to have a really good formula. Nice finish too
Taka Michinoku vs Gangrel
http://rapidshare.com/files/215752727/WWF_Heat_Gangrel_vs_Taka_Michinoku.avi
Good tv match with Gangrel crushing Taka with various power moves. Taka matches come in three varieties in the WWF.
1. He does not feel like trying and blows everything.
2. He wants to try but he is given two minates. Like the really disappointing match with Pac.
3. And this is very rare. Taka is given time and feels like trying.
This is category 3. Taka takes really good bumps and Gangrel is willing to sell for him. Though the Togo match is better.

Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy Boston Garden 1985

Forget the exact month. But Jimmy Hart is still managing Bundy.
King Kong Bundy is really underrated. At least in the 1980s he is. Really nice looking offense and is great at bumping. Like a big fat pinball. I think he is Hogan's best oppoent. This is there first match ever.
Vader vs Mark Henry Sunday Night Heat

Really good power match with Vader and Mizark beating the hell out of each other. Vader in the WWF is very hit and miss but he is feeling it right here.
Dustin Rhodes vs Bradshaw from the same episode.
