I just learned that one of my favourite proffessional wrestlers died on Janurary 19th. "The Beast From The East" Bam Bam Bigelow (Real name: Scott Bigelow) from New Jersey. A fan of Bruce Springsteen too. One of his special moves was the "Over the shoulder reverse piledriver". In his version called "Greetings from Ashbury Park". R.I.P.

JKF - I remember BamBam! Did it say what he died of?? And how old?

The cause of death I couldn't find. He was 45.

Bam Bam had alot of agility for a very large man. I once saw him, while standing on the floor pull himself up by the top rope and fly over the ropes to land a splsh on his opponet laying in the ring! I've never seen anyone else do that. R.I.P.

Man,another one bites the dust. i have been a wrestling fan on and off for years. It seems liek every year another one dies. I thought he was older than that.

Yeah. He was good. His moonsault from the top rope weren't bad either.
These wrestling guys always die early. Yokozuna, Owen Hart, Flying Brian Pillman and so on.

saw him two times wrestle live - great guy

RIP

I think it was a heart attack.

Bloody hell! I thought you were talking about Betty and Barney Ruble's kid!
