Bam Bam Bigelow

Bam Bam Bigelow was one of those wrestlers who made you rethink what a big man could actually do in a ring. Nearly 400 pounds, head covered in flame tattoos, and yet the guy could move like someone half his size — moonsaults from the top rope, dropkicks that actually landed, a surprising lightness of foot that completely contradicted his frame. He bounced between WWF, ECW, and WCW through the 80s and 90s, and wherever he went he brought a menacing charisma that didn't need a microphone to sell it. The WrestleMania XI main event against Lawrence Taylor was a genuine spectacle. Gone way too soon at 45 in 2007, he deserved a Hall of Fame moment while he was still around to enjoy it.
