Scott Thompson is a professional wrestler, best known for his appearances with WCW and USWA as Krusher Kong. As King Kong, he began teaming with Awesome Kong as the Colossal Kongs in the Global Wrestling Federation.
The pair later signed with World Championship Wrestling, where they were managed by Harley Race. They enjoyed little success, although Thompson teamed with Dustin Rhodes to defeat Awesome Kong and The Equalizer at Battlebowl 1993. Thompson's other major appearances in WCW were less successful, as he and Awesome Kong lost to the team of Sting and Ric Flair in just over two minutes at Clash of the Champions XXIV and he lost a singles match to The Shockmaster in one minute and 34 seconds at Starrcade 1993. While wrestling for WCW, Thompson was forced to change his ring name to Krusher Kong to avoid a copyright infringement lawsuit.[1]
Scott Thompson now also lives in Texas and occasionally wrestles for Texan wrestling promotions. On June 2, 1998, he won a tournament to become the NWA Texas Brass Knuckles Champion. While wrestling in Memphis, he has also used the ring name "Meat," teaming up with "Potatoes" to form The Fat Boys. Kong also reunited with Awesome Kong for USWX on October 30, 2009 in Livingston, TX.
