RIP Bam Bam Bigelow

just a procedural note.
when announcing the death of a friend or celebrity, the correct subject line is
"BAM BAM BIGELOW NOOOOOOOOOOO"
this will alert everyone immediately to the death of your hero and friend.

p/s sorry to hear about your friend.

Bam Bam Bigelow--who was one of my personal highlights of the last year or two of WCW--would have squashed him like a bug.

Bammy there would have fit right in with the cleveland hardcore kids. I bet he would have been in a band called Unholy Jihad!

YouTubed match between Bam Bam and RVD featuring not one but TWO frog splashes from the top rope into the crowd by RVD and some pretty awesome big man action from BBB.

I think this is the same thing as a "frog" splash, but I think back in the day they called it the "summersault" splash, back when WWF was a goofy mess in the 80's-when it was watchable.

I loved that that was Bam Bam's signature move. I mean come on, a guy with flame tattoos summersaulting his foes unconscious!

and your commie friend better get out of my face right now!"

Also, on a sidenote, Slick was possibly the best WWF "manager" ever.

RIP Bam Bam.

Damn straight. Any big man regularly willing to get up to the top rope is OK in my book.

try and find some of his old ECW matches against Taz. they once caused a hole in the ring floor and fell into it. i'd look for it now but im too lazy and im at work.

i'm a HUGE wrestling geek by the way, which i don't admit to many people, haha. actually im going to the Royal Rumble on the 28th...it's in my hometown and on my birthday...what are the odds.

That match when they went through the ring was gimmicked (Living Dangerously PPV), and so was the one where they smashed through the entrance ramp (Heatwave '98).

But, that's OK. Bam Bam used to do cartwheels. Killer.

Hopper2k - My ladyfriend and I are headed to Detroit for Wrestlemania 23 with another couple. It'll be awesome.

SWEET! and you are a bigger geek than i ;)
