10 Wrestlers Who Blame Others For Failing In WWE

1. Bam Bam Bigelow (The Kliq)

The last of a quartet of Kliq targets, the fire-headed Bam Bam Bigelow was similarly inflamed by the backstage burns of Shawn Michaels et al.

After lying down for pro footballer Lawrence Taylor at WrestleMania XI, Bigelow was expecting to be in receipt of a big babyface push as recompense for his character-damaging professionalism. It never transpired. The Kliq were largely behind that.

In a 2007 shoot interview, The Beast from the East spoke of how the Kliq's "strength in numbers" led to them "telling Vince McMahon what to do." He went on to describe their locker room hegemony as "a terrible, terrible time" which "hurt a lot of people" - himself included.

"They toyed with people's emotions and livelihoods," Bigelow concluded. His own WWE career ended with tepid PPV defeats to The British Bulldog and the newly-minted Goldust. It wasn't exactly the push he was promised - though his incongruously jaunty new babyface music was arguably to blame just as much as the Kliq's actions.
