The creators of the show Married...with Children named the "Bundy" family after their favorite wrestler King Kong Bundy, though some fans mistakenly believed that the name was derived from serial killer Ted Bundy. King Kong Bundy once appeared on the show as Peg's hick inbred uncle Irwin, and again appeared as his wrestling persona, since "NO MA'AM" (National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood, a fictional club depicted on the show) were big fans of the wrestler. They also named the neighbors the Rhoades after Dusty Rhodes but he never appeared on the show and to avoid conflict, they tweaked the last name. After the fourth season The Rhoades family became the D'Arcy's after the divorce of the wife Marcy Rhoades.
