@ Tim Burr : From All The Stories , Bam Bam Had A Heart Of Gold... He Even Got Severely Burned, Helping Rescue Children, From A Fire ... Rest In Peace 🙏
The guy ran into a house that was on fire risked his own life getting burned to save some kids. He's done bad things in his life but he sure as hell was a hero
Bigelow Neptune high school Springsteen Freehold boro high tammy lynn sytch old bridge high school and the pride of the nj shore asia carrera red Bank regional 1991
I redeemer how intimidated Jerry Lawler was by Bam Bam. One of the few times in his prime he acted generally scared of someone when they were face to face.
I love how he's just under a sheet like he's some old lamp in the attic or what. As good a promo as it is, I kinda wish they played it like no one knew he was back there. We miss you, big guy.
That was really well done!!!! Bam Bam looked scarier than I'd ever seen him before with that slow build up!!!!! :( Funny how tiny territories could do things like this so well, unlike WCW with the Shockmaster!!!! :(
man I'm 40 .I grew up with these wrestlers .old school, tough as nails and real .I d sacrifice the whole cast of smackdown to bring back roddy piper in his prime and just 1 of the von Erich boys
Lol Larry Sharpe said even I don't want to look at this face lmao. Rest In Peace Bam Bam Bigelow and Larry Sharpe two greats of the wrestling business.
Bam bam has to be in top 10 of my favorites of all time. Even when a heel he made it look good. When i heard he rescued kids they should had used that to his advantage. Also like that he was in movie Major Payne.
@ddrock23 I know! The last great managers were Paul Heyman for Lesnar and Teddy Long for Rodney Mack. Prior to that too managers weren't used at all in the 90's.
@Omar Lopes true but things don't stay the same, things change wrestling is not the same but it's changed a lot over the years especially during the 80s and 90s WCW
That's so Memphis to have a guy stand there with a sheet over his head. Makes me think of Jim Cornette when he said something to the effect of "If a guy comes out of a box, he's instantly over"
Imo I always go back and forth who was the better big man Bam Bam or Vader and I say Vader only because he was a bigger star but overall Bam Bam was my fav big man wrestler ever.
Um Coach, Slick, Woman, Alexandra York, Sir Oliver Humperdink, Gary Hart, Jimmy Hart, Mr. Fuji, Oscar(Men On A Mission), Ted DIBiase, Harley Race(managed Vader and Luger both), Harvey Wippleman, were all managers in the 90s
@speedbuggy Uh, no. This was his debut. He started out in Memphis as Bam Bam Bigalow. After dropping the Southern belt, he moved on to World Class where they gave him the ridiculous Crusher Yurkoff gimmick.
When I was a kid, Bam Bam was the first person I ever saw with tattoos on their head
ME TOO
First wrestler I seen with tats on his head .was one man gang
same here. that was absolutely extreme
@ Tim Burr : From All The Stories , Bam Bam Had A Heart Of Gold... He Even Got Severely Burned, Helping Rescue Children, From A Fire ... Rest In Peace 🙏
jesse j sevilla He had skull tats? I just remember the mohawk. Couldn't really tell after he changed up to Akeem and wore the kufi hat.
Bam bam needs to be in the hall of fame. One of the all time great big men
Ryan Webb I agree. Bam Bam was very agile for his size.
He is
But Snoop and Trump are in. SMH
The guy ran into a house that was on fire risked his own life getting burned to save some kids. He's done bad things in his life but he sure as hell was a hero
Ironic he was a heel, and he was a real life hero. Total respect for this man rescuing kids from a bulding fire.
True legend who rescued kids from a house fire.
Loved him back in the day.
RIP big man
He rescued kids from a house fire? That’s actually insane
HE looks like Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket when he goes nuts in the mens room
Bad bam wasn't expecting that slap 👋 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol he supposed to be so big and is getting pushed around lol
The Birth STAR of Bam Bam Bigelow. RIP to one of my favorite wrestlers of all time.
Bam Bam had the look of a monster, but had the heart of a hero. RIP
Classic Memphis Wrestling moment!! RIP Bam Bam Bigelow.
The pride of Asbury Park, NJ.
somerville99 pretty sure the pride of asbury park, no is Bruce Springsteen
Or Tammy the toothless hooker on main Street.....
He's from Neptune nj just billed from Asbury
Bigelow Neptune high school Springsteen Freehold boro high tammy lynn sytch old bridge high school and the pride of the nj shore asia carrera red Bank regional 1991
My cousins went to HS with him in Neptune. I used to see him fishing in Asbury on the lake.
I remember this it was the summer of 1986, was the good ole days! Bam bam bigelow was awesome!
I redeemer how intimidated Jerry Lawler was by Bam Bam. One of the few times in his prime he acted generally scared of someone when they were face to face.
I love how he's just under a sheet like he's some old lamp in the attic or what. As good a promo as it is, I kinda wish they played it like no one knew he was back there. We miss you, big guy.
I'm watching this on June 14th 2020.
Haa-haa, Bam-Bam !! I was, am and will allways be your greatest fan! R.I.P. and say Hallo to Matt Osborne for me ! You guys belong to the best !
'Big' Matt Osbourne! God, have atleast some respect!
I was expecting Bam Bam to say "OWWWWW WHY'D YOU HIT ME ? That really hurt & start crying" that woukd have been comedy gold !
Always will be a legend, rest in peace my cousin.
That was really well done!!!! Bam Bam looked scarier than I'd ever seen him before with that slow build up!!!!! :( Funny how tiny territories could do things like this so well, unlike WCW with the Shockmaster!!!! :(
This guy scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. Too bad we said goodbye to Bam Bam in 2005.
RIP Bam Bam and Larry Sharpe.
One of the best athletes I’ve ever seen
One of my friends in middle school called him "Bam Bam Bilogwie" when he first debuted lol
Incredible promo - gotta thank the steve austin show and Ross report for getting me into these old territories.
Anyone else laugh 😂 when he removed the pillow case
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA....he's hideous !!!!!! ;^D
I laughed when he removed the bedsheet.
I laughed at 0:20 Evil Prince Adam and again when he removed the bed sheet and dude's standing there with pillowcase on his head
I laughed my everlovin' head off! But he was pretty awesome. RIP
I was scared of Bam Bam, he was so big and agile. He was impressive.
man I'm 40 .I grew up with these wrestlers .old school, tough as nails and real .I d sacrifice the whole cast of smackdown to bring back roddy piper in his prime and just 1 of the von Erich boys
Lol Larry Sharpe said even I don't want to look at this face lmao. Rest In Peace Bam Bam Bigelow and Larry Sharpe two greats of the wrestling business.
The best big man in the business he needs to be in the hall of fame and so does vader
I'm imagining being a Memphis Wrestling fan and seeing Larry Sharpe with Bam Bam for the 1st time! 😵💫😮🙄
Thanks for posting this.
Back in the 80's this would've been frightening
If he had an issue with Lawler, surely all he needed to do was hold aloft his magic sword and say "BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL, I HAVE THE POWERRRRR"
I was watching Saturday morning wrestling
Such great times!!
Bam Bam Bigelow was a great family man and a nice person IRL. May he RIP
Hell I thought that was paul Williams at first lol!!
Bam Bam was the BEST!!!!
"I'm gonna show you something you've never seen before in your life..."
is it a ghost?
We have never seen a bedsheet before in our lives?
This is the actual birth of Bam Bam. He did not exist prior to this moment.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the ring.....idk, that came to mind from the Jaws theme
The man under the sheet.
lmao! Wow, what a promo! A man covered in a blanket, covered in a pillow protector; you can't get more intense than that!.
Hahhahahahahaaha!!! So cheesy no way he would have got over today but thank god the 80s existed
He would get over doing that. It's something different. Better than the shyt they got on today
@@danjack1447 very scary stuff
Definitely better than that Eric Rowen look a like.
He makes me think of the "Missing Link" boss from the old vendetta arcade game, minus the hair!!!!!!
The beginning of a Legend Bam Bam Bigelow :-)
Rest in Peace Bam Bam Bigelow :(
lmao damn memphis loved debuting people under a sheet!!
I got to meet him, he was a really nice guy. Still have a pic of me and the wife with him
This was more pg than the wwe pg era! :D
Vinay Seth and it was also a way better era of wrestling too
+Mrsushi1011 Hmm ya at least the guys were talented and seemed like they were in on the fun.
Probably because they didn't allow any nudity, language or blood on TV then. This was a wresting show came on in the morning
Thanks great
Lol the John Willams Jaws theme was a nice touch
Fantastic promo. R.I.P. Bam Bam. :(
Bam bam has to be in top 10 of my favorites of all time. Even when a heel he made it look good. When i heard he rescued kids they should had used that to his advantage. Also like that he was in movie Major Payne.
He put on a heck of a show at the first Survivor Series.
Bam bam had head tats way before it was cool
Jaws music??
@ddrock23 I know! The last great managers were Paul Heyman for Lesnar and Teddy Long for Rodney Mack. Prior to that too managers weren't used at all in the 90's.
Wow,. 27 years to the day.
That was great
LOL! Love it! Best comment I have seen in a while.
Better than all of the current 3 hour shows we get today. AEW is where its at
AEW sucks I don't like it don't compare it to WWF and WCW from back in the day 80s and 90s but WWF was my wrestling back in the day
@Omar Lopes true but things don't stay the same, things change wrestling is not the same but it's changed a lot over the years especially during the 80s and 90s WCW
My favorite big man wrestler Bam Bam. WWF and WCW did this man bad he should have been more than just a mid card.
bam bam for the wwe hall of fame 2018 i hope
Hey Bam! Welcome to Memphis Wrestling... now put on these bedsheets. We gotta do a spot.
Bam Bam looks like he's trying to take the mother of all dumps.
Everybody started in memphis big respect for lawler
Another great that started in memphis
Larry Sharpe, so brutally underrated until this day...
Deservedly on the Mt. Rushmore of Wrestling Trainers (According to Jim Cornette, Amongst Others)
Me and Bam Bam are from the same town. Never met him though.
The Beast From The East
Awesome promo
What a great promo!! Larry Sharp could talk.
That was pretty intense! 😰
The tattooed hair is a genius gimmick no other wrestler really had
The fact that it was flames made it even better
My 1st Birthday: Bam-Bam's Memphis debut.
happy 34th birthday :D
takerhey I'm 31, but thanks.
jaroncreed you're a moron.
Man that epic music tho lol
Jaws theme is priceless
That's so Memphis to have a guy stand there with a sheet over his head. Makes me think of Jim Cornette when he said something to the effect of "If a guy comes out of a box, he's instantly over"
Bam Bam kinda moving up
& down like the wrestlers on those old school wrestling games.
Went to High School with his Son Scott, we all looked up to him
I remember back when he was in the movie Major Payne.
How long was Bam Bam in Memphis? I remember he showed up in Texas All Star wresting I think later in the summer.
Never realize bam bam was around wrestling that long.
Bam Bam had the IT factor. He just had to look into a camera or a crowd to get over.
Rip my cousin
Cool!
Back when rights to music didn’t cost millions
rip legend
That pre fire styled gear tho.
Wow awesome promo. Dont know how to cut them like this anymore. Though Bam Bam's posing was a bit over the top. But well done.
OH MY.
Imo I always go back and forth who was the better big man Bam Bam or Vader and I say Vader only because he was a bigger star but overall Bam Bam was my fav big man wrestler ever.
It’s a shame his WWE highlights are losing in the king of the ring back to back years.
RIP Bam Bam
Um Coach, Slick, Woman, Alexandra York, Sir Oliver Humperdink, Gary Hart, Jimmy Hart, Mr. Fuji, Oscar(Men On A Mission), Ted DIBiase, Harley Race(managed Vader and Luger both), Harvey Wippleman, were all managers in the 90s
The best there ever was
Glad he finally took the pillow case off, Bam Bam must of been swallowing tons of dandruff and dust mites
He was fuckin scary yo.
RIP Larry Sharpe!!!
He was so cool looking for that time... Imagine having to stand there looking intimidating for like 3 minutes, it was cool when wwf made him a face
He was a heel for a while in the WWF during that time during the 90s. He was a member of Ted DiBiase group stable "The Million Dollar Corporation"
what's the name of this music? that sounds classic horror music.
We're going to need a bigger boat.
The pillow case mask reminds me of the Elephant Man.
Presenting - 'JAWS"!
@speedbuggy
Uh, no. This was his debut. He started out in Memphis as Bam Bam Bigalow. After dropping the Southern belt, he moved on to World Class where they gave him the ridiculous Crusher Yurkoff gimmick.
