Scott "Bam Bam" Bigelow dead at 45

[Sarge 2.0]

Maybe he was to fat?

Uhm, there's no way to know that, but considering that he was very athletic and agile at close 400 pounds for most of his career, it's safe to say that his weight wasn't really the problem. I'm almost certain that Bam Bam overdosed or something.

I'd like YOU to take a steel chair to the face!

Actually the first few times can be pretty bad but you eventually get used to it.

[Mr Sparkle]

maybe he was high on life.
then again....maybe it was heroin.

Suddenly a lot of things about you come into focus...

Hey, I'll be the first to admit that I'm surprised at how loquacious I remained even after all the shots my skull has taken over the years .

But seriously, no one can truly understand how much wrestling takes out of the human body until they've stepped between those ropes...

Well, I wrestled in jr. high, high school and a couple years in college and I know how much that took out of me, and that didn't even involve brass knuckles, boot laces across the face, flying elbows to the face or leaping off the top rope.

Just curious...how many matches have you worked, and have you ever done anything like work with popular indy feds or job out on television or something?

I've wrestled close to 5 years in a local indy fed. No tv but localy it was pretty well known.

I've done a bunch of hardcore matches (one of them right on the street for close to an hour), one barbwire match, a lot of battle royals and the standard one-on-one and tag teams matches. I've been Tag Team Champ twice in my short career and I've done a couple of blade jobs that were off the hook .

I've been happily retired for a few years now, but I still have a couple of non-card matches every summer with my old tag partner, just for kicks. I miss it sometimes, but I still have pictures to reminisce of the good old days, and I'll always have my memories...

I hope your forehead isn't all mushy and gross looking like New Jack's after all of the blading. Did you ever work with any name indy guys or guys who used to be well known?

 

[Jerry]

Not that the death of anyone is "funny", but I always find it funny that they state cause of death unknown and that people actually believe it COULD be something other than the massive amounts of steroids and other enhancing drugs these human pin cushions have squeezed into their bodies over the span of their short lives.

Is anyone really surprised when a junky wrestler, gasp, dies at such a young age? C'mon, really.

Yeah really, like when Eddie Guerrero died. Everyone was surprised, even those who knew he had the problem. Come on people, get with the program here. Wrestlers bring it on themselves. Gets no sympathy from me.

 

[The Chairman]

Damn, sad news. R.I.P. and go with God.

The thing about Eddie was, he had been clean for three years prior to his death, and had totally turned his life around. That's why people were surprised at first. But everyone acknowledged that it was Eddie's past drug abuse that had caught up with him.

Nah, I didn't do it enough times to get to that point. Although I've done one in particular that rivals Mr. Bang Bang in your avatar. I'll PM you the pics if you want

I agree that Eddie's case was a sad story too. So much talent wasted because of a lousy habit, and just when he was finally out of it too...

 

[Jerry]

More than likely Eddie wouldn't stay clean though.

 

[Grim Goblin]

The autopsy proved he had been clean for a long long while. Talk about not having a clue....

 

[Jerry]

Sooner or later he would have. Its harder to believe he would have stayed clean than gone back.

 

[Grim Goblin]

yes, because no one can ever beat the odds ...

You know, it's harder to believe that you'd keep on spilling this groundless dribble of yours than to think you'd wise up and stop, but yet here we are...

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Its a shame,he was a good wrestler.

 

[X-Ray]

Damn!

Bam Bam is gone...wow. I was just watching a movie where he had a small role. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

R.I.P Scott Bigelow.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Bam Bam was in WWE when I first started watching it. He was a great heel, and a great wrestler for his size. Loved a lot of the matches he had in WCW when he signed up with them in late 1998. He will be missed.

 

[The_Raven]

I remember the first time I saw him, way back when. Man, he was a monster.
He was so agile for a guy his size. And those tats still rock.

Godspeed, big man.

 

[Joker]

didnt he run into a burning building to save a kid and end up with third degree burns over 45% of his body a few years back?
