Bam Bam Bigelow- Dead[views:5621][posts:30]______________________________ [Jan 19,2007 6:36pm - CNV ""] Kocosports.com has the regrettable task of reporting that Scott Charles Bigelow, known to wrestling fans worldwide as Bam Bam Bigelow has passed away. 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. Bigelow was trained as a wrestler at Larry Sharpe's "Monster Factory" in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. He debuted in Memphis in 1985. In 1997 Bigelow began a one year stint in the World Wrestling Federation, but was sidelined due to injuries. He moved on to work for Antonio Inoki in New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he formed a tag team with Big Van Vader, and won the IWGP Tag Team Championships. In late 1992 Bigelow returned to the WWF and engaged in a highly-publicized feud with American football player Lawrence Taylor. The two went on to headline WrestleMania. During a run in ECW, in 1997, he joined the reformed The Triple Threat with Chris Candido and leader, Shane Douglas. He was a dominant force in ECW, carrying out feats of strength such as hurling Spike Dudley out of the ring and into the audience and slamming Taz through the ring. He held the ECW Television Championship and the ECW World Heavyweight Championship during his stay there. On November 16, 1998 Bigelow debuted in World Championship Wrestling. He initially feuded with WCW World Heavyweight Champion Goldberg before competing in the WCW Hardcore Division Bigelow held a total of 13 professional wrestling championships throughout his career, in promotions such as WCW, NWA, ECW, NJPW & IWGP. On October 2, 2005, Bigelow was hospitalized with a broken nose and several lacerations after crashing his Harley-Davidson motorcycle in Spring Hill, Florida. His passenger at the time, Janis Remiesiewicz (Bigelow's girlfriend), suffered severe injuries and was declared to be in "critical" condition. Both Remiesiewicz and her relationship with Bigelow, made a complete recovery. Bigelow’s talent and warm personality made him a beloved figure to fans and wrestlers alike, Kocosports.com would like to send our deepest condolences to Miss Remiesiewicz & the rest of Bigelow’s family and friends during their time of grief. |
