* DorkAge: The extra-flame-y ring gear from 1995 after his HeelFaceTurn. Seriously, the man looked like he'd been tarred and feathered.



* NeverLiveItDown: His time in American Combat Wrestling was called "The Rock'N Roll Era" due to his first appearance coinciding with an influx of cocaine into the area and one of the partners who owned the promotion being arrested on drug trafficking charges. Whether it was his fault or not, Bam Bam only lived his association to it with [[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead his death.]]

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Bigelow loved his fans. One story has him arrive early at a shopping mall for a signing at a store and sitting down in the food court for lunch. He gave so many free autographs to fans at the mall that the promoter for the event had to come and get him so that he could break even for the event.

* TooCoolToLive: Considered one of the best and most underrated big men of all time, with a cool gimmick and immense talent, he died far too young at the age of only 45.

* HarsherInHindsight: While it was unquestionably [[Awesome/BamBamBigelow one of the most truly awesome things he ever did]], Bam Bam saving three children from a burning house and suffering second degree burns over 40% of his body in the act was darkly ironic considering his iconic flame-patterned ring gear and tattoos.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: You know the old cliche of good guys saving kids from burning buildings? Scott Bigelow actually did that - he saved three kids from a fire down the street from his Florida home, suffering second degree burns to 40% of his body in the process.
** Tossing Spike Dudley into the ECW crowd like a rag doll, to which the ECW fans responded by crowd-surfing Spike around the arena.
** As mentioned on the main page, he stopped Tatanka's war-dance at ''Royal Rumble 1994'' with an enziguri. {{Heel}} Bam Bam actually got a face pop for it.

* BadassDecay: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AueQRak-zAQ This promo]] from his 1995 HeelFaceTurn is pretty much this trope in a nutshell.
