[[caption-width-right:350:[[{{Leitmotif}} "BAM, BAM."]] ]] '''Bam Bam Bigelow''' (real name Scott Charles Bigelow, born September 1, 1961) was an American [[ProfessionalWrestling professional wrestler]] from New Jersey, commonly referred to as "The Beast From The East." While his most famous run was with the [[{{Wrestling/WWE}} WWF]], he also made appearances for Wrestling/{{WCW}} and Wrestling/{{ECW}} in the 1990s.

While his most famous run was with the [[{{Wrestling/WWE}} WWF]], he also made appearances for Wrestling/{{WCW}} and Wrestling/{{ECW}} in the 1990s. A big man, nearly 400 pounds, Bam Bam stood out from the other monsters in the business by being [[{{Acrofatic}} particularly agile for his size]], as well as his trademark look: tights with a flame motif to match the tattoo of flames on his skull.

Bam Bam held numerous titles during his career, including the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-h.html ECW World Heavyweight Championship]] and the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-hc.html WCW Hardcore Championship]]. He never held any titles in the [=WWF=], but he was also part of numerous pay-per-view main events and many memorable moments in the company's history. In a famous ''Wrestling/WrestleMania'' main event in 1995, he main evented against [[{{UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball}} New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor]]. By the end of the 1990s, Bam Bam was in WCW and stayed there until the bitter end.

Some of you may remember him in his cameo appearance as a biker in the movie ''MajorPayne''. [[spoiler: You know, the big biker dude who got his ass handed to him in about 5 seconds.]]

* PowerStable: The Jersey Triad, with Kanyon and Diamond Dallas Page.
* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: [[DefiedTrope Defied]] - hell, outright ''mocked'' - in a ''Royal Rumble 1994'' match with Tatanka, who typically started "hulking up" in his matches by doing a war dance. With clubbing forearms proving ineffective, Bam Bam shut him up by [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome just kicking the poor bastard in the back of the head]]. And just to rub it in, he mocked the war dance!

* WrestlingMonster: Early in his career he was in a series of these built up to challenge the champion of Memphis Jerry Lawler. Not so much anywhere else though.
* YouHaveFailedMe: TedDibiase invoked this on Bam Bam after his ''Wrestling/WrestleMania'' match with Lawrence Taylor (and after Bam Bam failed to beat Diesel in a Raw match), thus ousting him from the Million Dollar Corporation and setting up Bam Bam's HeelFaceTurn.
