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!

He was a really nice guy as is his brother Todd. When I knew him he was a bouncer in a few of the Asbury Park bars and was sometimes a body guard for the tattoo artist that did his first tats on his head. The flames were so vivid. My roommate and I let him rent out our spare bedroom for awhile. Those were the crazy last years of Asbury Park NJ music and bar scene. Scotty was always a really nice guy to me and he was a great cook too....We loved it when it was his turn to cook . He could be a real bad boy at times but he wasn't into the wrestling then. I just can't believe he is gone ... Prayers for Scott and his family.~~Pandora~~

Vince has forgotten that second "W" stands for wrestling. He'd rather make it a peep show or try to appeal to the MTV demographic/mentality. He's taken a giant one on wrestling's core audience. It's brutal to watch these days.
