One Year Ago Last Wednesday: R.I.P. Bam Bam Bigelow
Written by Glen Boyd | Published January 21, 2007 [SOURCE]
Bam Bam !! Professional wrestling lost one of the best "big men" in it's history this past Friday January 19, 2007, as Scott "Bam Bam" Bigelow was found dead at the age of 45 by his girlfriend. The cause of his death is unknown.
I found a nice tribute video to Bam Bam from the folks at The Fight Network.
Who could ever replace the Big Man who is Quick on his Feet???"The Beast From The East," Bam Bam Bigelow was known for his massive size and trademark tattooed forehead, which bore red and yellow flames that matched his ring attire. Bigelow was a rarity in the world of professional wrestling: a big man who could stand toe-to-toe in the ring with such equally massive combatants as Andre The Giant and The Undertaker, he also moved with the same agility of much smaller wrestlers like Rey Mysterio and Sean "X-Pac" Waltman.
Bigelow worked matches with most of the biggest WWF
names, such as Bret "Hitman" Hart (who praised his wrestling ability as being remarkable for such a big man), The Undertaker, and Hulk Hogan. In these matches, Bigelow would run the ring with the agility of a man half his size, doing somersaults and flying off of the ropes. His arsenal of wrestling moves even included a textbook moonsault, a move popularized by smaller wrestlers of the Lucha Libre discipline, and one that most wrestlers his size would not even dare to attempt.Villains Needed --
