El-P Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I was fascinated by those videos at the time. I didn't know who Bam Bam was, as I became a fan in late 1989 and only got WWF back then, but those video made me a fan right away. His stint would end up being a bit disapointing...

Hollinger. Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 He had some really fun individual stuff, but for whatever reason they didn't seem to know how to use him. I think they could have had something with him and Bossman after Nailz left if Bossman had stuck around longer than he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Evans Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Nice flames in the background. I wonder how many takes this took cause Bam Bam looked exhausted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 This looks eerily similar to Jerry Lawler's fire promo on the Snowman, from both a looks and budget standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Bam Bam shouldn't talk. He's coming. Still a great look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 This was a lot better than the Battle for Bam Bam in '87, which took so long that even at the age of twelve I wished he'd hurry up and get here already. He never quite clicked in that run; maybe this one will be different. Good grief, Eagle, the man only said a few words. How can you tell whether he should talk or not yet? Besides, there were no managers left to put him with. Jimmy Hart was turning face soon, Fuji had Yoko coming, Curt was with Flair exclusively until he turned, and Bruno/Wippleman was a complete waste of space and had Kamala to boot.

PeteF3 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Yeah, I've always thought of Bigelow as a perfectly good talker. He's the type of good talker who probably is better with a good manager anyway a la the Road Warriors, because how's *he* going to book flights, negotiate title contracts, etc., but he was effective cutting multiple kinds of promos in multiple roles.

Beast Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 If I was watching this in 1992, I would have been enthralled by this tease. Any fan who'd been around since his last run in 87/88 would know his reputation and welcome him back to add some freshness to the roster. Any new fan would see this crazy big dude with flames on his head and get excited to see him squash some jobbers. For a first week tease, did its job well. Could have been a face with all the major names dropping out, but I'm guessing it was a combo of the last face run not going amazing and needing to fill the void of Nailz, Kamala, Mountie and other guys that weren't working out.
