" Bam Bam Bigelow passes away Written: January 20, 2007 WWE.com has learned that former WWE Superstar Scott "Bam Bam" Bigelow has passed away in Florida. Kevin Doll, the Public Information Director for the Pasco County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Bigelow was found dead early this morning in his home in Hudson, Fla. "We can confirm that Scott Bigelow was found in his home this morning. At this time the cause of death is unknown," Doll told WWE.com.

^^No, right section. Damn, I know he's had some financial trouble recently, but man, he was probably one of the best agile big men ever in pro wrestling.

R.I.P. Scott Bigelow

WWE has mad typos on their site. They tend to mess up from time to time.

1/19/2007 4:22:15 PM

^^ haha, I was thinkin the same thing.

1/19/2007 4:22:21 PM

roids and coke

1/19/2007 4:27:37 PM

nah he was never a roid guy

if he was, i'd be very surprised


coke, booze, and all sorts of other stuff i'm sure


he'll be missed. I remember the first WWF Wrestlemania NES game, you could pwn anyone with Bam Bam, as long as you kept doing cart wheels

1/19/2007 4:31:17 PM

^ I was thinkin the same thing about the karwheels

1/19/2007 4:32:31 PM

yeah the roids and coke thing was speculation, and he certainly doesnt look like he's on steroids as much as 95% of other wrestlers

but a lot of wrestlers who have died at relatively young ages in the last couple decades OD'd

goodbye from asbury park

1/19/2007 7:35:54 PM

^That was pretty good.

Was watching Major Payne the other day and saw him and wondered whatever happened to him.

Though "Greetings From Asbury Park" was a terrible finisher compared to his top row aerial manuevers, haha.

"Kocosports.com broke the story of the passing of former WWE Superstar Scott "Bam Bam" Bigelow earlier today. They have a few more details on his passing that WWE.com didn't report. Sources close to Bigelow told Kocosports.com the he had been missing for several days. And as noted before, he was found dead this morning in his home in Florida by his girlfriend around 10 A.M when she woke up. Furthermore, police are currently treating this as a crime scene. Many of Bam Bam Bigelow's friends and colleagues contacted WWE.com to share their feelings on "The Beast from the East." They have comments from RVD, Tazz, Paul Heyman, Jerry Saggs, Tommy Dreamer, Ted DiBiase, Mean Gene Okerlund, Howard Finkel, Jimmy Hart, Jake Roberts, Joey Styles and Gregory Helms. Also, it looks like WWE will be adding comments from more wrestlers throughout the day as they get them. On WWE.com, there is an article and a photo gallery looking back on his lengthy wrestling career."

He was always one of my favs. kept hoping that he would make a comeback one day. I will never forget thst classic wrestlemania match against LT.
