Sad stuff. Another one leaves us too soon. More to come on this, in news and our reactions, I am sure.
WWE.com has learned that former WWE Superstar Scott "Bam Bam" Bigelow has passed away in Florida.
Kevin Doll, the Public Information Director for the Pasco County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Bigelow was found dead early this morning in his home in Hudson, Fla.
"We can confirm that Scott Bigelow was found in his home this morning. At this time the cause of death is unknown," Doll told WWE.com.
Doll also confirmed that the Pasco-Pinellas Counties medical examiner has taken the body and an autopsy will be performed.
Bigelow, 45, worked for WWE, ECW and WCW extensively throughout his 20-year sports-entertainment career. A former ECW Champion, ECW Television Champion and WCW Tag Team Champion, he is perhaps best known for his rivalry with Lawrence Taylor that culminated in the main event of WrestleMania XI in 1995.
Stay tuned to WWE.com as more on Bigelow's passing becomes available.

Damn, that sucks .had to figure this was gonna happen sooner or later wasnt bam bam Missing in Action for a while with no one, promoters or otherwise knowing where the hell he has been?
anyway quick story about the bammer, i went down to philly on one of the blackheart bus trips i think it was a 3PW show anyway i drank a bottle of vodka on the ride down and was waaay too drunk to enjoy the show. Bam Bam took on Abdhullha the butcher in a shitty match, after the show bamab bam came on to the bus to say hi sign and few autographs.I however have no idea this is going on as i am ready to pass out. Just as i fee like i am i see the flames on his head coming down the bus. i stand up and Bam BAm was right there and to my suprise hes more fucked up than i was, slurring his words and what not . i told him "good match or something and he goes "wasnt my falut, Abby's a hundred years old"im guessing the match wasnt that good, i dotn really remember.oh and if you look real close when bam bam wins the ECW heavyweight belt in Elks lode you can see my face pop up in the corner of the screen.
RIP Bam BAM
you will nbe missed

How does this affect the potential for an all dead guy wrestling tape? Does he have any notable feuds with other dead wrestlers of his era?
Oh, and I think this marks yet ANOTHER wrestler who yelled at Capone, that is dead.

That tape is not close to seeing the light of day. I have hours upon hours of dead guy footage, but not so much two dead guys wrestling one another, aside from a lot of Bossman/Earthquake-John Tenta stuff. I do have some Bigelow - Bossman matches, I think.
Tonight I will watch Bigelow-Brett on Bretts DVD, and Bigelow-Tazz on the first ECW DVD. May pull out some old ppv stuff too.

Bigelow/Bossman is great for the tape.
Did he wrestle Owen or Bulldog?

No.
Balls, I am not interested in doing a tape of nothing but dead guys wrestling each other. Unlike you, I respect these guys.

You should make the tape. Did Joey Morella ever referee any Bossman/Bigelow matches?

The autopsy results have come in on Bam Bam Bigelow. His death was due to multiple drugs in his system, cocaine and benzodiazetine (an anti-anxiety drug) at lethal levels. His was also suffering from heart disease.
