A great big man that I think could have had an even better career than he did after what he showed in the late 80s

 

[Necro]

Bam Bam was so underrated.

Bam Bam Bigelow goes for a Legs Sweep and quickly gets back to his feet

 

[Alexa]

It is sad to think that the main thing Bam Bam will be remembered for is him losing to Lawrence Taylor at Wrestlemania 11, and then getting barely anything for it. The man was impressive for his size whether it was his speed, wrestling ability, or anything really. Bam Bam laid the foundation for agile and mobile Big Guys that would become well known in the Indy world of wrestling.

Damn... it's already been 14 years. One of my favorite big men (and one of the best in that category). Such an underrated talent.

RIP, great big man!

Braun would be furious......

 

[Wiseman]

In all honesty, both guys were underrated performers in the ring. So them having good chemistry with each other isn't too surprising.

I wish Bam Bam was 10 years younger. It would have been awesome to have him in the attitude era in his prime.
