Roster
 3-ECW debut

## Lower midcarder(1986)

Bam Bam Bigelow debuted at Superstars 50 with a loss against Andre The Giant, he had low points so he teamed up with Billy Jack Haynes in a match against Dream Team with the losers entering King of the Ring, Bam Bam and BJH won against an experienced team. At Summerslam, he defeated King Kong Bundy in a battle of the beasts.

## Full Nelson Bam(1986-1988)

At Superstars 71, Bam Bam Bigelow and BJH decided to become a regular team getting a tag title match but losing to US Express, at Survivor Series they teamed up with Brutus Beefcake and Honky Tonk Man losing against Tito Santana, Rick Martel, Koko B.Ware and Jim Duggan. Bam Bam entered at number 29 in the 1987 Royal Rumble and was in the final 3 before getting eliminated by Haku

They entered the 10 team battle royal for the vacant tag titles at Wrestlemania 3, while BJH was eliminated early by Raymond Rougeau, Bam Bam managed to stay until the end and eliminate Haku for them to become tag team champions.

They lost the titles just 3 weeks later to The Naturals in an episode of Superstars, they got their rematch in a ladder match at SNME May also involving Hart Foundation and became 2 time champions in just 1 month, they ended up losing the titles at Superstars 100 to Strike Force.

Both Full Nelson Bam members entered the G1 having a match against each other at Superstars 108 which BJH got the win, he was the seventh man eliminated in the triple threats. At Survivor Series, they teamed up with British Bulldogs in a losing effort against Demolition, Paul Orndorff and Kamala in what was FNB’s last match together as they separated unexplicably.

Bam Bam’s last match for the company before his release was the 1988 Royal Rumble match where he entered at number 18 getting 1 elimination and winning the 24/7 Championship but being eliminated by Bad News Brown.

## Return(1993)

At In Your House 8, Crush held an open challenge and the newest signing to the Smackdown brand Bam Bam Bigelow answered and beat him, he qualified for the G1 beating Ludvig Borga. At Smackdown 63, a fatal 4 way to determine the NO1 Contender to Undertaker’s world championship was held and since GM of SD Bobby Heenan liked treating his signings as big deals, he put Bam Bam on the match, Bam Bam defeated Crush, Jake Roberts and Yokozuna to become NO1 contender, Bam Bam was the second man eliminated in the G1. He got his title shot at G1 Finals where he proved to everyone that he wasn’t a waste of a signing as he had a great showing but Undertaker defeated him, after the match both men shook hands

Bam Bam returned only 2 months later with a friendly match against Undertaker which ended as Doink The Clown showed up and choked out Bam Bam to get on Undertaker’s head.

## Taking down Doink(1993-1994)

Doink threatened to enslave Bam Bam if Undertaker didn’t try and get back the world heavyweight championship that Doink won, throught the weeks we were shown a couple of segments of Bam Bam tied to a chair and Doink just terrorizing him, on the Smackdown before Royal Rumble 1994, Taker finally got in the sewers but couldn’t find Bam Bam, he found a picture of him tied to a chair and suddenly Bam Bam choked out Undertaker from the side, the segment ended with Doink The Clown and the 2 men he enslaved Bam Bam Bigelow and Barry Horowitz in the ring as Doink laughs with the lights flickering. “Dark Bam Bam” entered the rumble at number 4 but he didn’t have any powers like Horowitz and Doink got, he was eliminated by Shawn Michaels.

Since Doink had gotten the mind games he wanted out of Undertaker, he didn’t need Bam Bam’s services anymore and was left passed out in the sewers along with Taker, he returned to his pure form as he and Taker started working together to take down Doink, they had a tag team match at Smackdown 85 which Doink and Horowitz won with Doink choking out Bam Bam. At Wrestlemania 10, Undertaker faced Doink The Clown and during the match the lights kept going down and up as Doink kept being replaced by Bam Bam and Barry Horowitz just to screw with Taker’s mind, in the end Doink choked out Taker in the corner ending the match in a DQ.

Taker would get another shot and Bam Bam said that if it didn’t work, they would proceed to plan B. At Smackdown 91, the mind games continued as Bam Bam and Taker talked in the locker room, the door locked itself and water sewer started coming out of the floor so they could drown, an hour later everyone was trying to get Taker and Bam Bam out of the room but the door wouldn’t open, it opened by itself as Doink’s laugh uttered through the room, Bam Bam said that they had to go to Plan B EVEN if Taker beat Doink. At Smackdown 92, the plan started as Bam Bam faced Undertaker in a match just so Doink could start his mind games, Doink sent Horowitz to choke them out but almost all of the Smackdown roster came out tying Horowitz down to the ground as they successfully kidnapped him.

Over the weeks, Taker and Bam Bam tried to make Horowitz remember who he was and his whole goal of destroying Doink before he was enslaved(because only Horowitz knew his tricks and could do it). It looked like the plan failed as at Smackdown 98, Doink found the secret spot, Bam Bam offered him a match against Undertaker again with no interferences, if Doink won they would give up Horowitz, if they won, Doink would stop his plan, he agreed but at Smackdown 100 he saved Horowitz anyways as they led an ambush against Taker and Bam Bam. At Summerslam, Undertaker failed to defeat Doink but after the match the plan was a success as Barry Horowitz choked out Doink and got rid of his enslavement and shook hands with Taker and Bam Bam.

At Survivor Series, Team Smackdown which consisted of Barry Horowitz, Undertaker, Bam Bam Bigelow and Mr.Perfect defeated Team RAW which consisted of Lex Luger, Jim Neidhart, Tatanka and Bob Backlund, on the Smackdown after Undertaker and Bam Bam were announced to have a tag title shot due to the Survivor Series Lottery, Doink interrupted this segment attacking every man but Bam Bam as he offered him fame, power, success, whatever he wanted, Bam Bam shakes hands with Doink turning heel and getting out of the plan as he beats up Undertaker.

## Heel turn(1994-1995)

Bam Bam explained that he knows Barry Horowitz can’t defeat Doink and Doink’s WWF takeover is about to go to another level so he decided to join him to make his life easier, since Undertaker was injured Doink replaced him as his tag team partner for the tag title match at In Your House 15 but during the match Doink teleported out of there and betrayed Bam Bam as Smoking Gunns defeated him, in the same night Doink is finally defeated and killed by Barry Horowitz with Horowitz dying as well.

Everyone hates Bam Bam for trying to help Doink on his quest, even the GM of RAW and Smackdown Harley Race who starts punishing him putting him on impossible handicap matches, Bam Bam tries to admit that he made a dumb mistake but no one wants to hear it. At the 1995 Royal Rumble, Bam Bam was number 1 and the returning Undertaker was number 2 who beat the crap out of Bam Bam and eliminated him.

Bam Bam tried to apologize to Undertaker but he didn’t accept this as he kept beating him up, Bam Bam is tired of it and says he’s a better man than he was in December, it was driving him crazy that Horowitz could die because of his plan, Undertaker calls him out saying his reasoning makes 0 sense as he never felt hopeless before even when Doink kidnapped Bam Bam, he finally understands that Bam Bam only made up “Plan B” so Horowitz could get out of Doink’s shadow for Bam Bam to enter it, everything was done to get on Doink’s side, Bam Bam confirmed this and fully turned heel. At Wrestlemania 11, Undertaker defeated Bam Bam.

## ECW Invader(1995-1996)

In the 1995 Extreme Rumble, Bam Bam made his ECW debut at number 20 with the whole crowd immediately hating him, he was the runner up with The Sandman lastly eliminating him to win. Bam Bam started attacking random ECW people to send a message to their roster, at Hardcore TV 27 he faced off against the debuting Jim Neidhart, the match got booed to hell because it was 2 WWF guys but Taz came out and choked them both out to end the match in a pop.

Jim Neidhart saved Bam Bam Bigelow from an attack by Dangerous Alliance as both men started going for the ECW Tag Team Championships, at Wrestlepalooza Taz and Sabu retain against them. Neidhart started getting more cheered beating people up with chairshots, Bam Bam calls him out on this saying that all Neidhart is doing is sucking up to the gullible fans so they stop booing while Bam Bam is making an actual mark around here. This started a feud which culminated at November to Remember in a loser leaves town match which Bam Bam won.

At Hardcore TV 48, after a win against Shane Douglas, Nova made his debut and was going onto the ring to have his first match but Bam Bam started hitting him with barbed wire rope, this led to a match at December to Dismember where Bam Bam just hit Nova with consecutive moonsaults until Little Guido showed up and took the moonsaults for him, Nova takes profit of this, rolls up Bam Bam and wins

## WWF Special Appearances(1996)

Bam Bam was the first man who showed up when the WWF and ECW deal began, at the 1996 Royal Rumble, Bam Bam entered at number 20 and eliminated Jim Neidhart before getting eliminated by British Bulldog.

At Summerslam 1996, him along with Taz, Shane Douglas, BWO, Raven and Tommy Dreamer ambushed the ring after a tag title match beating the crap out of New Age Outlaws and Nation of Domination and a bunch of security, when WWF Champion Vader showed up, Taz ordered them to leave and said “steal our talent, we steal your show”

## Raven’s Cult(1996-1997)

At Cyberslam 1996, Bam Bam defeated Nova and Little Guido in a threeway dance to get an ECW Heaviweight Championship shot.

Bam Bam started feuding with Tommy Dreamer trashing him that he hasn’t won the ECW Heaviweight Championship yet and demands for him to put his career on the line, since Dreamer doesn’t back down from a fight, he accepts, he says this isn’t about Bam Bam, he just wants to get his career back on track so the crowd doesn’t give up on him. At Hardcore TV 71, Bam Bam helped Raven defend the ECW TV Championship against Meng joining Raven’s Cult. At Heatwave, Dreamer defeated Bam Bam to keep his career as Dreamer continued his feud against Raven’s Cult.

BWO led an ambush on Bam Bam at Extreme Countdown, bodyslamming him onto a shopping cart, Bam Bam blamed them for trying to kill him and at The Culmination Bam Bam and The Eliminators defeated BWO to win the 6 men tag team championships. At Wreslepalooza, Meng destroyed Bam Bam in a match, on the same show Tommy Dreamer was forced to join Raven’s Cult and in his first match, The Eliminators, Raven, Bam Bam and Dreamer faced Terry Funk, Rob Van Dam, Kid Kash, Meng and The Sandman for the 6 men tag titles where whoever the last 3 tagged would win the titles, Dreamer and The Eliminators became the champions.

When the WWF-ECW feud started, President Jerry Lawler started saying that ECW had a mole sent by WWF to destroy them and everybody started blaming Bam Bam so Heyman suspended him until further notice, Bam Bam returned 3 weeks later as Rob Van Dam and Mikey Whipwreck were revealed as the moles, Bam Bam and Dudley Boyz defeated those 2 at December to Dismember.

At Hardcore TV 112, Bam Bam defeated Dreamer to become NO1 contender for the ECW Heaviweight Championship, at Fuck Mania 3 Meng defeated him to retain the title, in the last Hardcore TV of the year, after Raven won the ECW Heaviweight Championship and Tommy Dreamer attacked him leaving Raven’s Cult, Raven DDT’d Bam Bam and kicked him out of the cult as he was having a mental breakdown.

## WCW and The Mob(1997-1998)

At Starrcade 1997, after Konnan kicked out Lex Luger and Riggs from The Mob, he announced the newest 2 members who were the Starrcade Countdown of the year, Jeff Jarrett and ECW’s Bam Bam making his debut.

Bam Bam just worked as a lackey for The Mob with barely any significant feuds, at Slamboree he was squashed by Goldberg in a TV title match. The  Mob joined NWO Hollywood in the Nitro afterwards.

At Fall Brawl, he was in the 10 men first blood elimination match to become the inaugural extreme champion, he faced Kanyon, The Barbarian, Perry Saturn, Jushin Liger, The Great Muta, Johnny Grunge, Rocco Rock, Juventud Guerrera and the debuting Rob Van Dam, the match ended with RVD five star frog splashing Bam Bam right on some thumbtacks to make Bam Bam bleed and RVD won the match. At Halloween Havoc he got another match for the title but lost yet again to RVD in an extreme rules match. At Starrcade 1998, Perry Saturn and Bam Bam came out during the Starrcade Countdown and revealed the debuting Raven as they formed The Flock

## The Flock(1999-)

The Mob’s leader Konnan was happy that Raven had joined The Mob because he was aligned with Bam Bam and Saturn, but the tide turned as Raven announced he wasn’t a part of The Mob and was here to take it over as Bam Bam and Saturn beat up their former teammates while Raven beats up Konnan in The Mob’s offices.

Bam Bam and Saturn started trying to get Chris Benoit to join The Flock but it didn’t work as Benoit already had his group, The Vigilantes, at Slamboree The Flock beat The Vigilantes and after the match Shane Douglas came out and attacked them all as the new member of The Mob.

At Nitro 256, Bam Bam got an unexpected push as Raven went to owner of WCW Arn Anderson’s office and put a bat on his neck and says that Bam Bam is gonna get a WCW Heaviweight Championship shot tonight or Arn is finished right here, Arn has no choice but to give it to him and in the main event Bam Bam defeats David Flair to become WCW Heaviweight champion so a Flock member became a world champion before any member of The Mob, the reign only lasted 3 days as in a co-promotional stunt at UFC 20: Battle for the Gold, Bam Bam was shown on the crowd and given a lot of attention throught the night until right before the main event where WCW’s Tank Abbott made his return to UFC, entered the octagon and challenged Bam Bam to a legit UFC match for the title and of course being an actual trained boxer, Tank humiliated Bam Bam in 40 seconds to win the title, he issued his rematch the Monday later losing to Abbott in an actual wrestling match.
