8 Super Heavyweight Wrestlers Who Could Do Flippy S***
2. Bam Bam Bigelow
Wearing a flame-adorned singlet and getting a head tattoo should be enough to make sure you stand out from the crowd. For Bam Bam Bigelow, that wasn't enough. He had to be different in the ring too.
The 'Beast From The East' could've been incredibly comfortable as a conventional big man heel and foil for the likes of Hulk Hogan. Instead, he put his super-human agility to good use. A near-400lbs behemoth, Bigelow made the top rope his home. Flying head butts, springboard splashes, devastating moonsaults - he could do them all. This was an era when nobody was doing this stuff, let alone a man who weighed the same as a small rhino.
If life were fair, then Bigelow would have been one of the most decorated and famous wrestlers ever. Alas, as it isn't fair, he never won a single championship in WWE. He also only got a WrestleMania main event because he agreed to lose to an NFL star.
Bigelow's influence lives on in every agile super-heavyweight that has come since. He was truly one-of-a-kind and one of the most unique wrestlers to ever live.
