Turning babyface in the Summer of 1995 was supposed to be a landmark moment for Bam Bam Bigelow. The character had earlier been face in the late-80's, but was far more recognisable as a heel, something the persona had been since Bigelow returned to the WWF in 1992. By turning, Bam Bam was supposed to launch into the stratosphere, becoming a genuine top-line babyface and the ideal man to challenge against top villains such as Sycho Sid and other members of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation. Instead, Bigelow never really found his place as a hero, and was gone from the WWF by the end of the year. Maintaining for years after his departure that it was The Kliq, including men such as Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, who held him back from achieving his potential as a babyface, Bam Bam Bigelow didn't see eye-to-eye with the group of friends. Feeling they were monopolising the main event scene, and only out to help one another, the big man decided to make himself scarce, even with a proposed feud against the incoming Vader being discussed.
