Bam Bam Bigelow passes away
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.

Doll also confirmed that the Pasco-Pinellas Counties medical examiner has taken the body and an autopsy will be performed.

Bigelow, 45, worked for WWE, ECW and WCW extensively throughout his 20-year sports-entertainment career. A former ECW Champion, ECW Television Champion and WCW Tag Team Champion, he is perhaps best known for his rivalry with Lawrence Taylor that culminated in the main event of WrestleMania XI in 1995.

 

Another wrestler dead before he turns 50. RIP.

 

One of the best big men in the biz. RIP

 

If one of these guys lives past 50, we should start a thread for them.

 

Abdullah the Butcher is 70 years old, 400 pounds, sells ribs and Chinese at his Atlanta restaurant and has spilled enough blood -- others' and his own -- to put Red Cross out of business. Come to think of it, he DOES deserve his own thread.

 

This sucks.

 

RIP

 

Friend of a friend went there once. He wrote a hell of a funny MySpace blog about it. While he was there eating, the Iron Sheik pulled up, drinking a tallboy Bud.

RIP Bam-Bam

 

Hells yeah! Abby! Abby! Abby!

 

For those wondering who we're talking about (warning -- contains blood, but not a lot, and Abdullah the Butcher without a bloody head is like hot chocolate with no marshmallows):

 

Nice of WWE to take it in stride...passes away my ass.

This company should be sued out its ass already. It seems like they care nothing for these guys once they leave the ring.
