Scott Charles Bigelow (September 1, 1961 – January 19, 2007) was an American professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Bam Bam Bigelow. Recognizable by his close to 400 pounds (180 kg) frame and the distinctive flame tattoo that spanned most of his bald head, Bigelow was hailed by former employer WWE in 2013 as "the most natural, agile and physically remarkable big man of the past quarter century."
Bigelow is best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation, Extreme Championship Wrestling, and World Championship Wrestling between 1987 and 2001. Over the course of his career, he held championships including the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and WCW World Tag Team Championship, and headlined multiple events including the first Survivor Series in 1987, the first King of the Ring pay-per-view in 1993, WrestleMania XI, November to Remember 1997 and November to Remember 1998.
After training in Larry Sharpe's Monster Factory in New Jersey, Bigelow debuted as an athletic and agile monster heel in Jerry Lawler and Jerry Jarrett's Memphis, Tennessee-based Continental Wrestling Association promotion in the summer of 1986. Billed as "the Beast of the East" and referred to as "The Bammer" by announcer Lance Russell, Bigelow teamed with Jerry Lawler to feud with Austin Idol and Tommy Rich. Bigelow was featured in an article in the September 15, 1986 issue of Sports Illustrated.
