The kind of performer that stands out from the moment you see him, Bam Bam Bigelow was a large man with fire tattoos on the top of his head where hair normally would be. More agile than most men half his size, Bigelow could do astonishing things in the ring, including performing an absolutely gorgeous moonsault.

Most famous for his time in the WWE, his career peaked when Bigelow was tapped to battle Lawrence Taylor in the main event of WrestleMania XI. Also able to have a lengthy run in WCW and the land of the extreme, he even managed to have a reign as ECW World Heavyweight Championship.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

Most worthy of praise for one moment in his life, in a moment of true heroism, Bigelow suffered second-degree burns to 40% of his body after saving three children from a house fire. Unfortunately, even though he saved those lives his own came to an end in 2007. Found in his home, he’d ingested a lethal amount of an anti-anxiety medication and an illegal substance and he also had a heart problem.
