I’m just hoping it wasn’t drugs or anything bad. Florida has not been kind to wrestlers recently. Curt Hennig and Hercules died in Tampa. Tons of wrestlers live here because of the tax free living.

 

As for Bam Bam, I think he and the early 1990s Vader were probably the most athletic big man of this era and Bigelow was always given high marks as a worker from Bret Hart. He carried Lawrence Taylor to what Scott refered to as the “Savage-Steamboat” of celebrity matches at Wrestlemania XI. He’ll probably be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame posthumously now.

 

Rest in Peace big fella.
