* ExecutiveMeddling: A victim of this at the hands of Wrestling/TheKliq back in the 90's, according to him and several others.
* MoneyDearBoy: Bigelow's main reason for going through with the Lawrence Taylor storyline, as well as the mainstream exposure that comes with being a ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}}'' headliner.
** He was also still willing to compete in UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts after a rather humiliating one-round loss to Kimo Leopoldo. The $75-100,000 purse made it hurt less.
* RealSongThemeTune:
** (in New Japan): Music/JohnWilliams' "Theme from ''Film/{{Jaws}}''"
** (in ECW): Music/GunsNRoses' "Welcome to the Jungle"
** Music/BruceDickinson's version of [[Music/ScorpionsBand "The Zoo"]]
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Around 1995, there were plans for him to have a run as WWE Champion. Unfortunately, Wrestling/TheKliq got wind of this, and, well, see his DemotedToExtra entry.
** His first run in the WWF as a babyface friend to Hulk Hogan in 1988. He was very over with the fans and might've gotten a big heel run with Hogan or even stayed a top tier babyface, but a serious injury took him out for a considerable length of time. If he hadn't gotten hurt, who knows how high he could've risen given his talent?
