Is there any way you might be able to tell me what year this interview took place? I'm thinking around 95 maybe since they were taking phone calls.

@@olegv.khlevniuk2391 I was wondering the same thing, says its April 1998...right after Mania 14

RVD's run in ECW was among the best any wrestler ever had as far as quality matches.

[@JameelBM]

Regardless of promotion.

[@JeffSayYes]

He was made for ECW

[@spannerintheworks1190]

RVD was unique, he was above an organisation that mostly consisted of chair shots and bleeding.

@Ass Clown bro? Lol wtf?

[@49erfaithful86]

@@PGEntertainment2011 but I think there were a lot of stuff to consider, for example the wear and tear on his body and what he needed to take in, and also to be so humble and not be recognized as someone at the time. My take on it here is quick on the fly, but if we sat down and actually found out every detail, I believe that it'd be almost impossible to think it is simply a drug overdose off the deep end.

[@supamahyo5161]

As a kid Bam Bam Bigelow & Vader were like the toughest & meanest dudes, but watching these interviews with them they seem just like most nicest & humblest men in wrestling!

[@blueringoffire]

I Keep coming back to watch him....this was his Best interview...THANK U

[@VaughnJogVlog]

Bam Bam was under appreciated, not just in-ring but willingness to put over faces for the business. Beating jobbers does nothing. Beating a tattoo headed 🔥 monster means something.

No shit? I gotta look that up.

[@bshaun]

Yup, thanks for that. From The Sun Sentinel: In 2000, Bigelow became a hero when he charged inside a burning building to rescue three children. Bigelow suffered severe burns and spent two months in the hospital but returned to wrestle later that year.

Bam Bam was the realest dude. What a fucking legend.

what´s the matter with this generation calling everyone and everything underrated cause they didn´t get to live It on its time. Bam Bam is not underrated, he´s a legend.

[@joshbuchanan2219]

Right

[@antfitness6746]

Yeah but people don't always give him the respect he deserves among big guys in that time. That's why people are saying underrated.

[@sudacagamer]

@@antfitness6746 Dude, he was a respected big man back then, that´s my point. This people sound as If Bam Bam was Tugboat.

[@septv9995]

Yeah I have noticed that too. You will literally see that under every shoot video. Its like they think everyone should have a multi year world title run. They have no prospective.

[@SirChivalRegal]

This guy could do cartwheels. At his 350 plus pounds!. I remember him im a match with the 123 Kid, kept up with him throughout it. He made the kid look good. No other big man could do it. Liked his costume and look too.

[@jamieallen2126]

I cant even do cartwheel at 220 so I give this guy props for being that ethletic at that weight.

[@coycoberly4162]

YES SIR!

[@josephwhite8118]

Bret said he was the most technically sound "big guy" wrestler in the industry, I believe him. His agility for a man of his size was extraordinary.

[@WhiteIkiryo-yt2it]

Bam Bam was a guy who understood he was there as an entertainer and he didn't put ego ahead of making the fans happy and invested. He should be held up as an icon in the business today.

[@MrRiley-Is-Not-Amused]

I really respect Bam-Bam. He's been an iconic wrestler to me personally since the 80's. These interviews totally solidify that respect that I have for him. Definitely an underrated, under appreciated athlete. And one HELL of a wrestler for his size. He was something else, truly.

[@carlodurant87]

Do you guys remember when bam bam saved the kids from the burning fire? Bam bam is a real american hero

[@larryparks6799]

Glad this footage is around. Bam Bam did a great in ring persona, most people watching this for first time realize how nice and real of a person he was. Sucks addiction got a hold of him, but that’s what happens when u routinely destroy your body for the show, the money, and the life.

[@devyn.williston]

Bam bam Bigelow was the man. Super talented and underrated. Does business and old-school. All about respect and can work with anyone and make them look good

[@tomtalker2000]

[@roberttrester4030]

I never was much of a Bam Bam fan but man looking back at his matches and what he could do *PROVES I MISSED OUT!!!* Not to mention he really seemed like a cat you could have hung with. Reminds me of a few good cats I grew up with! Shame he's gone now wrestling is the poorer or it!

[@AT-qm8gv]

Bam Bam was essentially the first Mick Foley. Put every single guy over that he needed to put over. He was so good that he put guys over when he beat them. The best wrestler to never be a WCW or WWE/F world champion.

Scott was awesome, i was far too young to appreciate him. Looking back as an adult he should be considered one of the best big fellas ever, had an incredibly deep moveset for someone 350-400lb and you'd be hard pressed to find a guy his weight who was as nimble except a younger Big Show and Vader. I'd put him in the HOF personally.
