16 WWE 80s Stars That Should Be Hall Of Famers

9. Bam Bam Bigelow

The "Beast From The East" embarked on two notable WWF runs. The latter ran from 1992-95, and is most remembered for Bigelow putting over NFL icon Lawrence Taylor at WrestleMania 11. Previously, Bigelow wowed crowds with his stunning mobility for a super-heavyweight in 1987-88. Faith was such in young Bigelow that he was given the spotlight to eliminate Bundy and The One Man Gang at the '87 Survivor Series, prior to succumbing to Andre. Bigelow left the company on acrimonious terms in 1995, never working with WWE again. His 2007 death to drug-related circumstances could be a factor in keeping him out, but that didn't stop the company from putting in Curt Hennig, The Von Erichs, and others with troubled personal lives. Bigelow feels like a safe-bet for induction, but the matter is simply when.
