He was having a really really hard life lately. I remember a few years ago when he hit rock bottom, no pun intended, and almost lost his family to drug abuse.
I never saw a man as big as Bam Bam that could move like Bam Bam. He was one of the strongest wrestlers I’ve ever been in the ring with. Back in the old ECW days, Bam Bam was the superstar that gave credibility to our show, and style. On one of my favorite nights of my career, and possibly the most pivotal, I wrestled Bam Bam in Buffalo NY for the ECW TV Title. I became champion that night, got the tremendous rub and was perceived as a superstar on another level ever since. Inside and outside of the ring, I have a lot of respect for Bam Bam Bigelow, and it was an honor to have known him.Rob Van Dam
