      I can't get over how many time's Scotty is calling other people "drug addicts" like he wasn't. He was high in this interview for crisakes! Then he dies a few years later from, wait for it... a drug overdose. At 45!
      People need to know that.

    27:17 - When the interviewer asked Bam Bam "do you think the wrestling would ever get that hot again", meanwhile this was in 1998 when wrestling was at it's peak!
    Just shows how the Attitude Era was just a typical time in the 90s.

    It's not right that a humble main event wrestling athletic giant like Bam Bam died penniless. He definitely should have had better success and support. He was a down to earth dude, honest and no BS given his fame. Saved children from burning to death and despite his addictions and failures he definitely was a solid guy and didn't deserve the cards he was dealt. Too bad he didn't live longer RIP to the Fiery Giant 🔥 💪🏽🍺🍺😎

    Thanks for this upload! Regarding the Vince in the bar story, something doesn't add up with Bigelow saying he was there. He talks about the Road Warriors being there, but he was never in the WWF at the same time as them. He says it happened in Massachusetts, when according to Bret Hart this all happened in San Antonio the night after This Tuesday in Texas which was November 1991. Bigelow left the WWF in 1988 and didn't return until very late 1992.

  • @joshhuatheg3m3ni5
    @joshhuatheg3m3ni5 7 месяцев назад +4

    I think it’s kinda crap with the talk about Scott Hall. I’ve seen interviews where Scott and Kevin had put Bam Bam over and the criticism that Scott gave Shane Douglas was about his working ability. He was very precise about it too. He stated that he thought Shane would be like Shawn Michaels and light on his feet and aerobatic. He wasn’t, he was heavy and had a different style. Maybe they didn’t work well together and it seems as though Scott wasn’t the only dude that Shane had issues with in New York. Yokozuna, from the BSK crew even had words with him. As
    far as them chastising Scott for being fucked up on drugs is the pot calling the kettle black. The ECW locker room was notorious for partying and open drug use. Even Bam Bam. To be fair Scott and Bam Bam were still with us for quite a while after this interview and at the time their beef was still fresh.

      You have to also remember this is 1998 so a lot of the beef is fresh. There was even a situation where Hall was kicked out of an ECW show by Bam Bam and Douglas. They said the only person keeping them from beating Hall's ass was Justin Credible who Hall came with. Hall did work Big Sal though so idk if that was the day before or after.
