Bam Bam Bigelow wasn't just one of the biggest wrestlers -- he was also one of the most agile, capable of pulling off cartwheels and top rope splashes with the dexterity of a cruiserweight.

From his iconic skull tattoo to his flaming ring gear, Bam Bam was one of the most instantly recognisable wrestlers in the world. Before his death, he had competed in all of the 'big three' promotions of the 80s/90s -- WCW, WWE, and ECW, where he would win his first and only world title.

Bam Bam was as revered for his legit toughness as his easy-going personality backstage. Something of a primadonna, he often left federations if he felt they weren't utilizing his talents or paying him enough money.

A shrewd businessman, he also kept the copyright on the Bam Bam Bigelow name, which allowed him to remain unchanged as he floated throughout the various federations.

All that, and he can play a mean saxophone!
