Sad news in Wrestling Ping
Anoth wrestler passes in their early to mid 40's. No wonder Trish and Lita retired.
Prayers for Scotty. He was from Neptune NJ and hung out in Asbury Park. I knew him when he was a bouncer. Very sad to hear this news. ~~Pandora~~
I hear you. How tragic. Prayers for his family.
From the article:
Sources close to Bigelow have informed us that the former WWE/ECW/WCW superstar had been missing for several days, and was found dead this morning in a home in Pasco County, Florida.
We are told that Police are currently treating this as a crime scene. Despite several attempts by Kocosports.com to contact them, The Pasco County Sheriff’s dept. was unavailable for comment as of 12:50PM today.
Aw man. I remember Bam Bam back in the WWF (when it was the WWF) in the golden days of the 1980s. Those were the days, I tell ya, when me and my buddies used to stay up watching "Saturday Night's Main Event" and he was wrestling on there.
(As always, if you'd like ON or OFF my wrasslin' ping list, let me know)
I heard the news a short while ago. A shame. Fine performer. Never really got an extended good run, though he did get to headline a Wrestlemania.
Years ago, in between his runs in the american promotions, I was walking down LaGuardia near W Houston street in nyc and out of the corner of my eye saw Bam Bam's tattooed head! I caught up with him and said "Bam Bam?"
He looked over (actually he looked down, I'm about 5'7-8"). He smiled and said "Hey, man." I extended my hand and said I was a fan and he shook it. We chatted for about 3 minutes, walking together down LaGuardia. Nice fella. I said so long and wished him good luck and ducked into my Citibank, which was my original destination.
He shall be missed.
PS - The WWE has royally stunk for several years now. Ugh!
Rest in Peace Bam Bam
Cause of Bam Bam Bigelow's Death Announced
