A wrestler if like me you didnt have a clue who he was

[GNRreunioneventually]

thats to bad i liked him. I remember before ECW cancelled he and the dudly's would always put on a show with sandman and raven and RVD man those were the days. I can't remember who fought who cause i was only like 5 and 6 years old when that happened. Used to watch it every Friday night before Monster Jam and after gilligans island 


i was a pretty wierd kid man i liked every thing

i'm not a big fan of wrestling but bam bam was a hero at least if this story is true


"Also in 2000, Bigelow heroically saved children from a burning home. (other accounts of this story say it was a forest fire or brush fire, but Bigelow himself described it as a burning house) Bigelow had been returning home from an ECW show in Japan and discovered a house on fire near his home. Hearing children screaming inside, he burst into the house and rescued three kids, burning 40% of his body with second degree burns in the process. He spent two months recovering in a hospital."


RIP

This is sad news.  Man, wrestlers sure dont have a very long lifespan these days.  I remember when Bam Bam wrestled Lawrence Taylor like it was yesterday.

That's very sad.  Must I be the one to mention the "S" word?  Steroids were and are huge in the professional wrestling biz.

Wrestlers do tend to die young. Eddie Guerrero died just over a year ago. Wrestlers do use steroids often, but it's actually to help them recover from injuries much sooner than they should be able to. They suffer a lot of long term effects due to this practice. If they're big like Bigelow, it's only worse.

Bam Bam was able to do cartwheels better than any 350+ lbs man on earth.  RIP.

I hate it when these old school wrestlers die.

He played a big role in the WWF's popularity in the late 80's.
