Vince Russo's 14 Undeserved WWE Hall Of Fame Snubs

13. Bam Bam Bigelow

I had the extreme honour of working with Bam Bam at the WWE before his untimely death at a very young age. The thing that I remember the most about the €œBammer€ was his intensity in the ring. Scott was just one of those guys that came across as so convincing, that the last thing you ever wanted to do was REALLY piss him of outside of the ring. But, here€™s the thing, Bam Bam was perhaps one of the nicest and most gentle guys that I had ever met in the wrestling business. Remember, during my time working with him, I was just the lowly editor of the WWE Magazine, I was NOTHING, but Bam Bam literally treated me like the €œother Vince€ every time he would see me backstage at a show. He was just a sweet, sweet man. WrestleMania XI highlighted perhaps one of the biggest angles in Mania history, when Bam had a match with NFL Giants great and Hall of Famer in his own right---Lawrence Taylor. Even though at the time Bam Bam wasn€™t considered a €œmain eventer€, man, he sure carried himself that way throughout the angle. Why isn€™t Bam Bam in the Hall of Fame? I really can€™t truthfully answer that for any of these great talents. Later in his life, Bam Bam got into some legal troubles, and then died at the age of 45 due to toxic drug levels found in his system. A sad ending for such a great human being.
