Another man who supposed to be benefit from a top line push in WCW was Bam Bam Bigelow, a man who had played a major role during his stay in the WWF. Intriguingly, Bigelow would depart the Vince McMahon-led juggernaut in 1995, after feeling he wasn't being given the fair shake he had been promised as a main event guy. Disagreements with Shawn Michaels and The Kliq weighed heavy on Bam Bam's mind, so he elected to make himself scarce and try his luck elsewhere. Following some time in ECW from 1996-1998 , Bigelow made his way to WCW in '98 and instantly transitioned into a feud with then-WCW World Champion Goldberg. This signified a show of faith in the star power and ability that Bam Bam possessed, but the push wouldn't last for any real length of time. It's been said that it was Kevin Nash who aborted Bigelow's top line push, booking him to be a major player in the Hardcore Title division instead. Rather than trading chair shots with the likes of Raven and Hardcore Hak, Bam Bam Bigelow was supposed to be in the main event of Pay-Per-Views against the very best that WCW had to offer, but he'd once again find office politics would get in his way.
