| 1 | 19.03.2026 | Wangler | 8.0 | On a scale of 1-10 of people you wouldn't want to upset, a 25 stone leviathan with a flame tattooed onto his skull, rates around a 15. Absurdly agile for his size and immensely imposing, with some better fortune could have been right on top of the pile. Memorable 90s monster probably second only to the great Vader. Another that sadly didn't heed Harley Race's words on that damned diving headbutt. Thankfully, it barely exists today. |

| 5 | 08.01.2026 | CMFunk007 | 8.0 | Bam Bam Bigelow was a man I first saw in Memphis when he was teaming and then feuding with Jerry Lawler, depending on what week it was...he was one of the most agile big men in the business in his prime. Had a brief run in World Class. When he arrived in the WWF with the managers all vying for his attention, I think it did his career a lot of good. He went to WCW briefly in the late '80s and then came back to the WWF, where I feel his career got hurt by silly feuds with Doink the Clown and Lawrence Taylor while being managed by Luna Vachon and later joining the Million Dollar Corporation. He breathed a little more life into his career with a stop in ECW to feud with Taz. Then, he made one final national run in WCW with Jersey Triad with DDP and Kanyon before fizzling out in some indies. That said, I always enjoyed Bam Bam. His first run in the WWF was probably my favorite. But he passed away really young. And never really reached his potential in the business. |
| 6 | 03.01.2026 | Slikkrikk | 6.0 | Bam Bam was an incredible athlete, and he and Vader were obviously not just ahead of their time but really quite unique to be doing moonsaults when other big men were happy to stay very, very grounded. Versatile in a lot of styles and an obvious badass when you have tattoos on your head. I always liked his style, although I think he could have been a superstar if he could have done just a bit more on the promo side, or perhaps was given a large heel run. I was always kind of waiting for him to get a World title and just never got to see it. |

| 25 | 25.07.2025 | Mark4Lyfe | 9.0 | Bam Bam Bigelow was truly ahead of his time. A 360-pound guy doing moonsaults and moving like a middleweight? Unreal. He brought something different everywhere he went--WWE, ECW, WCW, even Japan. The guy didn't just look intimidating with the flame tattoos, he backed it up in the ring with agility, power, and presence. Easily one of the most underrated big men in wrestling history. |

| 29 | 21.05.2025 | CDProsPro | 8.0 | Bam Bam Bigelow aka Crusher Yurkoff headlined Wrestlemania, NJPW G1 Series & JCW Rebirth in three different decades. He is a former IWGP heavyweight tag team title with Big Van Vader, former ECW World and TV champion in a short amount of time from each other. He took part of the worst period ala Vince Russo booking where he was a former hardcore champion and only had a merrier chance to wrestle. Bam Bam had some bad times like overcoming loss of family, weight issues and mental issues that escalated when the ECW locker room moved on. And had the task to be an innovator of heavyweight skills with athleticism unseen at the time. Super athletic! He sadly passed away at 45 years old. Rest in peace Bam Bam. |

| 31 | 04.04.2025 | Shadow Explosion | 9.0 | Agility, Strength, and just a mean motherfucker. Bam Bam Bigelow is one of the best big men in wrestling. Now is he better than his Big, Bad and Dangerous tag partner; Big Van Vader? in 2018 I would have said yes, nowadays looking at Vader's incredible catalog of matches, no. regardless Bam Bam still kicked ass. I don't really do career retrospectives, but I love Bam Bam enough to do it. It is a shame he never reached his potential, He wasn't gonna be top dog in the Hulkamania era, he wasn't going to outdo Sting or Steamboat in the NWA. All Japan had an abundance of Foreign Heels already, New Japan probably could have pushed him to the top of the card to be honest. When he got back to the WWF in the New Gen Era it looked like he was gonna be a top heel but feuding with Doink devalued him for like two years. And then they had him put over LT cause they promised him a huge babyface push, it didn't go on well. Then he reached his peak in ECW, which that is awesome! They really valued Bam Bam, as he did feel like a top heel in the company with his matches against Taz, Spike Dudley, & RVD. And then he signed with WCW in '99 which was a horrible mistake creatively but financial it was his best option. He's several memorable moments in his career and you could point to most of them being in ECW or New Japan, The cartwheel middle finger to Keiji Muto is iconic. He wasn't a great talker but that doesn't matter, much like Awesome he had a sick look and he threw dudes around like a sack of potatoes. I'm glad Bam Bam was a wrestler, he just fit perfectly into it. Much love to the Beast from the East. |

| 34 | 05.03.2025 | AnB | 8.0 | Bam Bam Bigelow was as good an example as any of how to make big guy wrestlers interesting. You'd expect him to lumber around and brawl his way through his opponents, but he was surprisingly agile with a varied moveset. Not familiar with his work in Japan, but his run in both ECW and WCW was impressive and fun to watch. Just a real shame he hed issues that kept him from going steady anywhere. |

| 36 | 20.02.2025 | Giantfan1980 | 7.0 | One of the best big men of his day, and while incredibly agile and could bump for anybody, he had a bad habit of burning bridges and not staying in one place too long. Had a good run in the WWF from 1993-1995 but was just a midcard heel filler and then he had some belts in ECW and WCW in the waning days of his career. When he came to the WWF in 1987 on that first outing, the guy was lava hot with the crowds but he didn't even last a year, a combination of a knee injury (I think) and bad attitude put him at odds with guys like Andre. |

| 47 | 14.07.2024 | crs285 | 8.0 | One of the best big men of his era. He had impressive size, but he also was agile and could do a great moonsault. He had a presence in the ring and the fans loved him as a babyface and hated him as a heel. Overall a great worker whose addiction was probably his biggest flaw. |

| 57 | 11.03.2024 | Conquistador37 | 9.0 | Hard reset write up & score raise: Never forget he saved 3 kids from a burning building and was a real life super hero. Politics is what held him down. His striking and unforgettable look was unlike any before. He was a game changer in American wrestling, super heavyweights didn't move like that before him. Cartwheels and Dropkicks & the ability to go as fast as nearly any speedster. Innovative offense for the time. Had the crowd at Survivor Series '87 in the palm of his hand. A total force...that was buried by every promoter/booker until Paul Heyman. I was completely captivated and enthralled during his late 80's run, the booking was directionless but he DELIVERED in the ring. After a return to the WWF, he was given some form of limelight and made a tremendous showing at the '93 King of the Ring ppv but they (like everyone else), never capitalized properly. The Doink feud felt like an insult. The ECW stuff is rather great and I look forward to rewatching that. Late 90's WCW was hit or miss but when it delivered, I was enjoying what I knew was his last big run. The booking over the years is annoying but the bell to bell stuff ages well. And have you ever seen someone his size be so graceful with rope/turnbuckle work? So much respect, rest in peace to one of the Mount Rushmore big men. 8.5 |

Zu seiner Glanzzeit (1993) war leider noch ein Mann im Auftritt imposanter - Yokozuna (der konnte aber nicht wrestlen). Auch im Tag-Bereich mit Vader ein berüchtigtes und erinnerungswürdiges Monsterteam. Akzeptables Mic-Work. Unverständlich, dass er in der WWF nicht wenigstens IC-Champ wurde. Zollte später seiner Gangart körperlichen Tribut - und war als armer Ex-Star nach eigenen Aussagen glücklicher als als prominenter Restaurant-Besitzer. Es bleibt der Nachgeschmack einer tragischen Figur." Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen - außer dass er als Typ dem heutigen Pro Wrestling fehlt, denn wer ist noch heute vom Körperbau & Agilität vergleichbar mit ihm überhaupt oder in der WWE? Allenfalls Bronson Reed fällt mir ein und der ist ja wohl als absolute Konvergenz von Typhoon und Earthquake auch heutzutage mittlerweile die absolute Ausnahme-Erscheinung in der WWE. |

I'm glad he got to main event Wrestlemania once though it was against a pro American football player... 1995 was a strange time for north American wrestling. I wish WWE would induct him in the hall of fame already, he should have been in years ago. His moonsault finish always looked incredible because of him being a gigantic dude. I have no qualms giving him a 9/10. |

He was trusted in the main event of WrestleMania with a football player and not many others could have pulled off something watchable like he did. Unfortunately his career was very stop-start wherever he went which is a shame because he could have been an all-time great had he lasted somewhere. |
