Besides WrestleMania 40, fans in Philadelphia are eagerly anticipating the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony to see several legends being recognized for their contributions to sports and entertainment. Due to the location of this year's show, the company could induct a late legend who has a history with the city.
The name in question is former ECW World Heavyweight Champion Bam Bam Bigelow. He passed away on January 19, 2007, at the age of 45. Apart from his memorable run in WWE, Bigelow also performed in various wrestling promotions, including ECW. He won two titles during his tenure with the now-defunct Philadelphia-based company.
Bigelow was known for his agility and athleticism as an in-ring performer. He also had a memorable program with legendary NFL star Lawrence Taylor. The two faced each other in the main event of WrestleMania XI.
