Bam Bam Bigelow dutifully put NFL star Lawrence Taylor over in the main event of WrestleMania XI and then eagerly awaited a reward that'd never come. Instead of giving Bammer a role he'd relish after doing the honours, Vince turned him babyface and then proceeded to do almost nothing with him.

It was a massive missed opportunity.

Bigelow should've stayed heel, earned some credibility-boosting wins to stave off 'Mania memories and then challenged Diesel for the WWF Title. He'd have been the ideal big guy to bump around for Diesel and give Kevin Nash some good matches as champ. Apparently, McMahon disagreed.

Bam Bam's babyface run was so aimless than he left the WWF by the end of the year. His frustration reportedly bubbled over backstage too - Bigelow mouthed off about The Kliq's dominance, which was never going to help his cause.
