A true legend. He’ll never get the credit he deserves.
rest easy big guy.
he should've been WWF Champion
@@TyMarshall007 I Agree he should have got a title run IC belt or world belt. I still have my Bam Bam Bigelow T shirts. RIP🙏
Rest in peace to BAM BAM BIGELOW..
He was my brothers favourite wrestler, he liked his attitude.
My brother has been in prison three times, go figure lol
Bam Bam was a badass
@@rickymurray 🙏💯😂 Gets no realer than that
Don't forget he was a true life hero, saved kids from a burning building got burned bad spent long time in hospital
@@rickymurray hope your brother didn't drop the soap in the shower 🤨🚬
@@goodnightmunchie you old enough to be on here?
Michaels never ran into a burning building to save kids..... Bam Bam for the win
Not everybody is lucky enough to find a burning house with kids in it.
@@Baastilein31 i would harm the children
@@Baastilein31 well, bam bam probably did set the place on fire, but still, my point stands
And you have? Stupid thing 2 say
@@raryhippohop7065 bc you're the edgiest of edgelords!
Dude yall post shit I couldn't imagine as a kid. I haven't watched wrestling in years but I can watch interviews with my era wrestlers all day long
Same. Loved wrestling early to late 90s. after that i have never really cared but i still go back and gets nostalgic seing old interviews with them still
Co-Signed! Early 90s only! Whole roster was fun, heel or face didn't matter much to me!
Man like know we can go on peacock an watch every episode back in the day if you missed either Monday Thursday or Sunday you were hit.
I'm like you op, I stopped watching wrestling in 2003. Wha is sad is, all of these wrestlers are passing away. Now all we have is memories and these videos.
Bam Bam was a dude that was naturally tough, no steroids required.
Kudos to Bam Bam for saying F U to wrestling and walking away when it became bullshit and saying no to getting dumped on.
You get to a point in life when "enough is enough" and you just learn to move on because everything that glitters is not gold.
"Everything that glitters ISN'T gold.
Bam Bam said he walked away from WWF. He NEVER walked away from wrestling and was active up until around late-2006. He died in '07 of an accidental overdose. I miss him and hope he finally gets the accolades he deserves.
Bam Bam sure sounded old-school..man of integrity who told a greedy mean prick to fu@@ off...i like old school!
Hogwash
What a humble, awesome person he was.
@The Notorious Samkaveli dynamite kid wrote in his book how bam bam was drunk at an airport and fell over in the queue to check in, knocking people over like a domino rally, funny story aside, it makes sense as to why he was drunk, to cope with the flight.
Not that humble if he thought he could beat 3 other wrestlers at the same time 😏
@@LordSesshomaru86 shut up
@LordSesshomaru86 Yeah that's what I thought haha.. The Kliq have told stories about Bam Bam acting like a dick too. A lot of what he said here didn't pan out that way but I did think Bam Bam was an underutilised talent at the top level.
R.i.p bam bam. It's weird that he's gone but we can still see him and hear his voice and watch his matches. Great interview.
It’s the closest will get to time traveling..
RIP Bam Bam Bigelow. I met him as a kid and got his autograph. Unfortunately I do not have it anymore. He seemed like an easy going person. Great man.
Didn’t think I’d spend my morning binging Bam Bam Bigelow interviews so down to earth man RIP big bro
He thought wrestling was oversaturated in 1998? His head would explode today.
He doesn't even acknowledge it today
@@phillipconner1213 he died genius
@@phillipconner1213
He passed away in 2007
His head was on fire. I think it had exploded already, mate...
as a kid I thought Bam Bam was the toughest dude around. Had the tattoo's on his head lol
Bam was such a humble, respectable dude.
Bam Bam was a real one! One of the underated wrestlers of that era! R.I.P.
Bam Bam was a national treasure in the business that hardly anyone ever acknowledged. He really seems like a genuinely good dude, too. There's a certain level of old school Class with that guy, hope he's at peace. 🍻
I didn't realise how much I miss this guy until now... Not only was he the best big man ever in the business but he's just a cool down to earth guy who calls it like he sees it. RIP
He was absolutely not the best big man ever, not even close.
Bret Hart says otherwise commish - He was
One of the best ok
I learned on Wrestling bios that Bam Bam saved three kids from a burning house fire. Thats awesome. I have much respect for this man.
It happened while he was in WCW. I remember them mentioning it on the air during a live Nitro. And he recovered in less time than expected and was back in WCW shortly after. Tough as nails!
Bam Bam Bigelow would have been a TREMENDOUS value to any wrestling organization today. The man knew the business
As a child I had no idea how hurt these men were night in and night out. Battling Debilitating back injuries, guys were literally wrestling with broken necks. Looking back on it at the age of 34 it looks and feels completely different.
Totally agree with u bro
and they barely let it show in the ring. he had two torn up knees in '88 and went at it every night like is was nothing
Yep, that's how I feel as a vet. Sucks dealing with that crap.
The movie The Wrestler really had a good depiction of this. OGs in wheel chairs addicted to pain killers living off doing mediocre events. It’s sad
@PassengersMusic777 Great movie, but man, is it hard to watch. Dark Side of the Ring has been excellent as well.
Even though he said he never needed the strap and I agree, it still would have been very interesting to see a heel Bam Bam with the world title back then mowing everyone down.
If not the world, he definitely should’ve had at least a run with the IC belt
I agree even if he had an IC run, he deserved it. Would of been a great set up man before champion
@@murraysaucedo897 The IC belt was viewed differently back then. It was a stepping stone to the world title and you didnt really get it if they didnt have plans for you down the line.
Razor, Diesel, HBK and Jeff Jarrett were the only champions while Bam Bam was back between 92-95. 3 from the kliq and one who Vince wanted to make a big star but it never came about. Would have been nice but they obviously didnt see him as world championship material, thus him never getting the IC belt.
Bam coming off the top corner was a sight to behold
The way I see it Vince was trying his best to keep afloat at the time. Shawn “lost his smile”, Vince signed Bret to a 20 year contract, Shawn returned and McMahon put the clique in a program with Bret, found that the clique getting more cheers than the Hart Foundation, tried to switch it up with a CanAm feud, Bret and Shawn shoot fighting backstage, Vince finally realized he made a huge mistake in signing Bret to his contract, sent him south and Shawn thought his tantrums finally won out and McMahon was going to push him to the moon, then found out that Vince had Stone Cold in the wings and he was expected to drop the belt to him clean in the middle of the ring at Wrestlemania. Shawn realized he wasn’t the golden child anymore and was having a hissy fit. Best decision Vince could have ever made. Steve took the WWF to heights that Shawn never could have. RIP Bam Bam
Stone Cold was the man!
I remember as far back as post 1996 KOTR I would find myself rooting for SCSA thinking this guy is the shit
I believe Shawn was in vince's ear about Bret's 20 year contract deal. I think behind closed doors Shawn told Vince ......it's me or him and Vince caved and went with Hbk. And Shawn had a lot to do with Vince letting Bret go and doing the whole Montreal deal. I don't understand what hbk had with Vince that caused Vince to take a side. Bret was the better person and loyal and would do business. The kliq ran Bret out with their power struggle with Vince as the heel guest referee
@@gerilynnlaporte9346 HBK was god at felating Vince
@@CarNNNN with vince’s commentary at the time of Shawn’s mega push, it seems like it might’ve been the other way around
Bam Seems like he's a true friend to his buddies. He has respect for them and respect for his craft. You don't see much of that anymore.
He wasn't respectful to Lanny
Bam Bam Bigelow was 1 of my favorites as a kid, would've loved to have seen him come back during the attitude/ruthless aggression era and have matches with The Undertaker, Stone Cold, Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, Kane, Batista, Kurt Angle, etc
What a stand up Man Bam Bam was. He told how he felt and still had the professionalism to wish em best. Some things you can’t teach
RIP Bam Bam
What's sad is that he didnt know that we already had him on the level of Hogan and Bret etc.
Guy was such a nice guy. RIP TO THE LEGEND BAM BAM BIGELOW
My uncle Chuck DeLoach was Bam Bam Bigelow's parole officer in South Jersey rest in peace Uncle Chuck and Bam Bam Bigelow
That’s crazy! Any stories ? What was bammer like
I grew up loving BamBam, he was what I wanted to be when I grew up. He was a real tuff guy, and he was a boss!
My dad went to Neptune High School with Bam Bam in the early 80s... Cool guy. New Jerseys' finest! (Asbury Park to be exact) Rip Bam Bam
He prolly used to punk yo dad 🤣🤣😭😭💯
Bam Bam Bigelow was an incredible legend wrestler. He will remain an all time great favorite who was underrated.
RIP Bam Bam Bigelow!!
I agree. Too much exposure on tv and ppv. Hogan was a huge draw because you rarely saw him on tv and there were only four pay-per-views a year back then.
FACTS
And people complain about Brock now, they weren't around when the champ was only on specials like Saturday night main event or ppv
He was never on Superstars. Made appearances on SNME, then all PPV
Dale Shufelt in all fairness say what you want about Hogan he showed up for house shows and those were great business Brock picks and chooses which house shows he appears at(which is like two a year) Hogan at house shows helped business plus back then tv was more of an infomercial with squash matches to get you to either order ppv or go to the shows live.
@@chozahfearless7524 the difference is Brock doesn't have to. Do you go to work on your day off? Vince gave him a contract to work part time and that's what he does
Bam bam was a great wrestler and seemed like such a cool, down to earth guy. Rest in Peace, big man.
My boy is speaking straight facts and opinions
11:42 I like how he made certain and clear that he was referrring to Diesel. It was vague for a moment as to which 3 of the kliq he was referring to. Great interview. He said they wasn't walking up on him with that BS. And I remember peeping that he wasn't enthused at Wrestlemania 4, glad that he acknowledged the circumstances.
@Y Marina Real men don't take bs from anybody! Bam Bam was that guy.
Funny how he said all 3 instead of all 5 like HHH & XPac weren't even regarded as a threat lol
Bam Bam was one of my favorite characters, along with Mick Foley, The Rock and a few others who were great with the mic. Some of the old stampede crew were excellent as well like Brett, Bad News Allen and one that I thought was great was the Stomper lol. Ed Whellan was a big part of the success, he was a great announcer.
Seems like such a cool guy, RIP Bam Bam. One of the best big man the business has ever seen.
The best in my opinion. :)
Christopher Picart he and the mastadon
I'll never forget that match he had with LT at WrestleMania. It was a really good exciting match.
yea bam bam trying to make him look good. After this match was his downfall stupid how the guy whos never wrestled has to be put over. Got kicked out of the corperation and bam bam was always better as a heel with luna.
It was pretty good, but I don’t feel that it was a main event match, especially since it was a one-off. Bret vs Backlund should have been a much bigger match at Wrestlemania 11 and should have gone on last.
I wish someone could explain to me why this man is not in the WWE Hall of Fame and the Bella Twins are? Maybe it’s about how good you are on your knees in certain situations.
I wish that wwe would put jazz and victoria and molly holly and bam bam bigelow because they were different organizations before they come to wwe and they deserve it
FACTS
Explains Shawn
Its becauae its went politicaly correct just like everything else has, where a very loud, vocal, small minority seem to be able to for some reason lord it over the vast majority who are not bothered about political correctness. They need to have so many black or preferable black and another couple of other ethic minorities, and at least one woman. So really those who actually made the business need to wait while lesser draws or talents get in due to their race and sex basicaly. Lets face it, there havent been that many black or ethic wrestlers who made it to the top. Or how many women have really been a draw in wrestling? Sable... and what is she a draw for?? Her looks and fake tits. Sometimes in life certain ethnicities or men or women just gravitate towards a certain thing or tend to be good or not good at a certain thing, it doesnt mean you need to artifically "balance it out" just put those that deserve to be in the hall of fame in the thing! They were what they were, stop trying to be pc and pussy woke
I know what you mean. It's Political . It's Politics it's not what you accomplished in the ring taking bumps. If Vince doesn't like you or you don't need WWE to make a living You're not getting in.
Kinda amazing how much these fans knew around the late '90s about that business they already knew about stuff I'm barely hearing about 10-20 year's later, goes to show how die-hard they we're. Very different internet back than so it definitely took resources to get that kind of specific information about whatever happened backstage. Bam just got a dark side of the ring all on him. Good man. I still remember seeing him live in '94 freeman coliseum. And on wrestlmania arcade. He always stood out.
Ah mate! Bam Bam seemed like such a gentle giant, and totally humble gent. Such a dude.
Very sorry he passed.
A true legend Bam Bam was and is, For a big man he was quick and one of the hardest working wrestlers in the industry, RIP!!
Even the devil will risk his life to help others when he is high on drugs and doesn't even know what he is doing.```````````
Stand up guy always like bam bam
@RamblingBaba _ Bam Bam saved you from vader. What a hero!
@RamblingBaba _ I never really thought about the whole "not being able to punch hard in dreams" thing was ever more than something I experienced myself. It's been weird reading about how this is a common thing for a lot people
Rest in peace Brother!👊🙏
Wish I Had Met him Bad ASS HUMAN BEING!🙏👊
Bam bam u were one of the GOATS ..we miss you bro ..and when i finally go bald ill be tattooing my head the exact way you did lmao
Best wrestling interview that ive ever seen in terms of sheer insight into the business
Loved watching wrestling in the 90s BamBam was one of my favourites RIP "The Beast From The East"🙏
Growing up in South Jersey as a kid Bam Bam and Lawrence Taylor were huge!
I'm from Burl Co bro and yes u are right love and miss u Bam as we from there say SOUPH Jerseys finest
im from bam bams area, back when he fought LT that was a huge deal.
Played football with bam bam’s kid ! Jersey is the best.
@Gary Sutton He lived in Mt. Laurel for awhile when I grew up there. My mom couldn’t understand why I was so excited to see a 350lb dude with fire tattooed on his head at Shop Rite and demanded I not talk to him.
@@MrRyan-wu4jx That's
Awesome!
I heard bam bam was a real mellow dude and safe to work with! Rest in love biggelo
Wow I’m amazed at how easy going this man is . RIP BAM BAM your missed for sure man
Bam Bam was an awesome heel, in WWF & ECW....so underappreciated.
I used to be amazed to see this dude doing cartwheels. Best working big man at the time.
Not only could he walk the walk in the arena he didn't mix words you have to respect a man like that. Very underutilized and tremendous Talent
Bam bam was a real ass dude and down to earth, he’d be easy to chill with on a daily!!
Its two things I will always remember Bam Bam Bigelow for: Wrestle Mania with Lawrence Taylor and his role in Major Payne (lol!)
Bam Bam was really articulate and honest. Cool guy.
Bam Bam was humble and seems 2 be a good man.
Bam Bam 🤟 much respect. Rest Well.
Respect BamBam for sticking up for Chris Candido while The Heartbreak Kid was banging Sunny in the back while the Kliq guarded the door.
I really dig this interview. Bambam is 💯% official. Miss u bambam! As an 80s baby I never knew wrestlers like bambam were really good guys at the end of the day. It goes to show, yeah he was a heel but never judge a book by its cover 💯💯💯💯
I worked overnight in a supermarket in Virginia and he came in to shop I think he was expecting me to approach him but I respected his privacy. He seemed like he would have been okay if I did, he had a real cool vibe about him but he looked tired and I understood he is still a human being and sometimes you don't want to be bothered. He became one of my favorite wrestlers after that, RIP..... on the flip side, every time I hear someone talk about Sean Michaels they say he was a prick! 😂
Bam bam seemed like such a good dude. RIP big man.
I met Bam Bam and Luna when I was 8 years old in New Jersey. It was at a festival and they had come probably for peomotion with their costumes. Im 37 today and Bam Bam i take my hat off to your personality! A true role model! R.I.P! Love from Greece!
Got his Autograph when I was a kid at a house show in Salisbury MD. Great dude
Bam bam was my best heel wrestler when I was growing up. He was the best high flyer big guy.
Should have got a world title run somewhere
xSKYKILLAx he was the ECW world champion
With his background I wonder if they thought they had him by the balls? Like "you'll get what we give you and be happy with it".
Man I knew he died just didn’t know when that’s horrible what a great soul great human great guy Rest In Peace my brotha
Bam bam was one of my favorite big guys that could move. Great wrestler.
Loved the bammer, seemed like a really cool cat. Some talent for a big man, he could really move and go for a long time. An all time great.
Wish this guy was still around so we could hear his take on the business now...I reckon he wouldn't hold back...smart guy as well
Damn he was pilled up and still put on a good interview!
I remember bam bam bigelow's premiere in world class championship wrestling. That was the best wrestling of all time.
"Alright, You go first!" Love it! 😂
He got it right about the Undertaker waiting for Shawn backstage during Shawn match. Bam Bam had really good sources
It's really strange that all these big strong guys were allowing Shawn Micheals , possibly the scrawniest wrestler there ever was to basically bully them
That's how it is in the real world, scrawny executives lording over the employees.
He didn't bully them, he played backstage politics. No difference then the guy at your job, you KNOW you could whoop his ass, but guess what, he's good friends with the boss. They do family bbq together, etc etc etc. You comfortable with knocking that fool out, knowing his buddy/buddy position with the boss? That's how it was dealing with the damn Kliq. Group of cowards basically.
That's cuz Vince used to play brokeback mountain with shawn
If u like ur job , are u going to beat up the bosses douchie god son ? Prob not .shawn wasnt bullying he was sowing seeds of deceit. Flexing his good standing with the man that ran the place
@@jayfresco2118 very true once u get good with the boss u can get away with anything especially if he or she really likes you
The Triple Threat with Bam Bam, The Franchise and Candido with Francine is my favorite stable in wrestling history.
That was my favorite time in wrestling
John Lambert me too
I was binging their stuff a few days ago....soooo good 💯
Love Bam Bam, Good dude , great worker , gone too soon , only the good die young RIP Bam Bam!!!!!
Ole Bam Bam is seems like such a chill genuine guy.
Watching him Saturday mornings as a kid back in the 80s I never would have guessed he would have this type of laid back demeanor.
RIP BAM BAM
That’s right OLD SCHOOL 💯
I never liked Shawn Michaels or Triple H and I thought DX and the KLIQ was hokey as phuck.
Who asked you
@Sith Jawa good for you bro
@Sith Jawa when did I say do you like dx and the kliq? Or do you see any question asking about his opinion?
@Sith Jawa *top comment 🤡
@Sith Jawa you gonna cry Jedi clown btw is he your boyfriend since you’re over here defending his honor 😂
An absolute legend
You can tell this man would be a nice great friend.
Wwe needs to put him in the hall of fame
Bam Bam was buzzin off them beans in this interview...RIP LEGEND
We Care Bout u BAM'BAM💓🤙
Loved the cart wheels and moves ,speed for a big man
One of the most underrated big men in the business was one of my favorites to watch
I love bam bam, always one of my favourites.
When he says the clique will never influence Vince again, it’s obvious this was before Triple H married Stephanie
I remember watching the Tatanka Bam Bam fued as a kid. Good stuff
This is Awesome! I've been stuck on these Bam Bam interviews
Bam Bam is a legit dude
Shawn Michaels looking like Jean-Claude Van Damme in Hard Target
More like today's van Damme. Lol
@@pagan1440 I don't think Van Damme has the Lazy Eye lol
Fuck no that’s RobVanDam
That video game with the cartwheels was the shit!
I remember when I first saw Bam. Just thought he’s someone I wouldn’t want to come across anywhere.
Notice how the only ones to ever have anything bad to say about Bret are The Kliq or their lil random ass buddies, but everyone outside of that group and their few lil random ass buddies, have/had problems with the Kliq.
@Jay Fresco I never thought about that until now, you're right! The only people to talk bad about Bret is the kliq. Sean waltman has said good things though. And HHH don't like Bret cause he honestly couldn't lace Bret Harts boots
I've heard on countless times the likes of Steve Austin,undertaker,vader,Sid,kane,Mick Foley,roddy piper and many others praise the excellence of execution. Oh and Hogan stayed as far away from Bret as possible cause Hogan was threatened by him. And flair was always bitter about dropping the title in Saskatoon. The old guys always wanna keep the younger,hungry up and comers at knee level
@Telly Delucca Same. I like Bret, but I've heard stories from guys that hate HBK that Bret could be arrogant & take himself way too seriously. That being said, the low/mid card guys, that had issues w Michaels, usually did, because he buried them. There's a list of people, who he screwed over, bc for whatever reason, he had Vince wrapped around his finger. Even some of the Kliq members have said that HBK could get away w murder, in the 90s.
@@sese6227 what's wrong with being professional ass hell and being your own fan? At least bret never stopped nobodies push like the kliq. They literally fucked over all midcarders in mid 90s.
Shawn Michaels was such a trash person during the 90s that Undertaker wrapped his hands ready to throw them at Wrestlemania 14 if he failed to put Austin over.
Is there a RUclips vid of this source
@@andrewmilne1738 Look up Jim Cornette’s shoot videos. He talks about it quite a bit.
@@earthl2619 thanks bro
Watch the Broken Skull Sessions. Austin asked Taker straight up. Taker pretty much said if Shawn didn't do business, he was gonna go out there and throw him back into the ring.
I wish Shawn didn’t do it that way the Undertaker would of beat him to a pulp.
One of the greats! A true professional!
Shawn and the boys knew all stuff was doing that just came out
R.I.P. Bam Bam Bigelow
