[@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL]

KONNAN talks about how BAM BAM BIGELOW behaved backstage in WCW kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZO7n5lpjaaiprc

[@KeepinIt100OFFICIAL]

@Water Sniper check the channel, that topic has been covered dozens of times

[@ZBR_ProXP]

Come on, Disco. You don’t think the fans would rather hear you say anything at all about Bam Bam instead of explaining why you won’t?

[@ColoMex27]

Konnan shut that shit down quick

[@samskyrider88]

Exactly

[@dustdevil9614]

Guys a fn jerk who jobbed his whole career and is a bitter wank

[@EyesofOd]

Good guy Konnan answering the questions/giving the fans what they're asking for

[@guccimane3731]

Yeah, he was basically saying politely “stfu disco you don’t speak for me.” We’re only listening to Kdog not disco

[@EyesofOd]

@@guccimane3731 yeah exactly my thoughts. I don't understand disco's attitude on this. If it's not specific enough just give some general anecdote and people will be happy

[@HiGlowie]

Disco is obnoxious as hell.

[@GeeCoach35]

Disco: we don't tell generic Stories. Konan immediately tells two great stories about two great wrestlers 😂

[@sullyb23511]

Bobby Eaton is someone who is never spoken ill of in wrestling circles, ever.

[@ColoMex27]

Beautiful Bobby

[@karlsylvain]

he was a safe worker like bret hart and had the wrestling mind of taker.

[@TheRustedShackleford]

Same with Greg Valentine

[@scootmcgoot570]

I always loved bobby being an Alabama native also. I got the opportunity to meet bobby and he was an absolute prick! Didn't say a single word back and didn't even acknowledge our hands to shake. Possibly kayfabe'n but to a 12yr old fan it was disappointing

[@JoshBruin77]

​@@scootmcgoot570I'm a huge fan of Beautiful Bobby. I'm really surprised to hear that. It had to have been Kayfabe.

[@russellcampbell3500]

I am a huge mark for bam bam. Legit loved the look the attitude the whole gimmick. Especially after I heard of him jumping thru flames to save people from a fire. R.i.p. bam bam.

[@Marc_Araujo]

Jericho said the same thing about Bam Bam putting him over when he was still new in the business. Bam Bam needs to be in the HoF.

[@ninthlife1745]

Bam Bam Bigelow was like a version of Eddie Kingston if Kingston actually knew how to wrestle.

[@ninthlife1745]

@The One it's true though, BBB would work. Kingston is just fat.

[@trevorhembrough1290]

Y’all Disco marks are really pissed at Eddie. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[@michaelspencer2555]

He's more prime Bossman if he could do a moonsault

[@mikeawesome9212]

@@trevorhembrough1290 Someone pointing out that Eddie can't wrestle doesn't mean they're mad at him, they're just stating the obvious. Why did you put "LOL" at the end of your comment? There was NOTHING funny about it. I mean obviously you're the only person who thought it was funny for some reason but really its just stupid, not funny. Its even more stupid because you put "LOL". You even wrote it over and over like what you said was the most hilarious thing ever written. You always laugh at your own dumb comments? You just stroll in "Hey guys LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL". Although you obviously believe you're funny which is why you laugh at your own comments, NOBODY else agrees.

[@diluted8]

Bam Bam way cooler than Eddie

[@scottcoval1189]

Must be that time of the month for Disco

[@civilwildman]

Sounds like he was a relatively decent guy, at least in the business. I trick-or-treated at Bam Bam’s house on Halloween of ‘95 in Willimantic, CT. Guy stayed in character and told me “NOW TAKE SOME CANDY AND BE HAPPY!” Hilarious. XD

[@loooooooongstanding2141]

if you didn't know how real the backstage power that The Clique had in WWF was, Bam Bam went from headling Wrestlemania 11 to then pretty much doing nothing for the rest of the year

[@theninthheart4736]

Lol yeah that didn’t have anything to do with his spiraling obesity/constantly being injured, or anything..... lol

[@seankately4411]

You are both right

[@johnnyboogalo4897]

Not just the clique dude was injury prone too and had his own issues.

[@AndromedanPrince]

"What was he like backstage" is actually a specific question.. the "any stories on him" is general but not a bad question tell Disco to calm down lol

[@Number9_Media1]

Bam Bam Bigelow, passed me a joint in the men's room at an ECW show, in Stamford Connecticut. I was 17yrs old, and thought that was the coolest thing in the world. Bobby Eaton, was an incredibly kind and humble human being. One of the greatest workers in pro wrestling

[@justint8635]

That’s an awesome Bam Bam story

[@Number9_Media1]

@@justint8635 That memory is still very vivid in my mind. Sabu and Taz worked the main event

[@renegonzalez8194]

That's awsome lol I hope you still smoke

[@VirgilZandig]

As bad as WCW was, they kept Bobby Eaton employed until early 2000.

[@peanutmansemporiumofrandom7472]

I used to be a HUGE fan of Disco during WCW. After listening to him here through KZbin clips and listening to the full podcast, I’ve realized that he’s a miserable tool who has his head too far shoved somewhere. As for Konnan, I’ve bought his shoots, I’ve been a fan for years and that hasn’t changed.

[@aye_its_karate6169]

Disco is a mark for himself. He thinks he was a huge star. Just like Eddie Kingston said, his buddies only kept him in WCW so they could laugh at him🤣 apparently Big Show farted in his face and he didn’t do a damn thing about it😭🤣 Disco is lucky that Konnan gave him a job so he doesn’t have to flip burgers at Burger King.

[@Dr.Meth666]

He's a fucking big nose kike .Disco Diva HP +100

[@Axs_Nice_Hair]

I guess ignoring questions you don't like isn't as easy as complaining about them. Props to Konnan for answering it anyway.

[@williammunny1844]

I had no idea about this until Nash said it recently on his podcast… But apparently Bam Bam was riding with Hall & Nash one time, and they pulled into a gas station in the hood somewhere in California to get beer. While they were in line, some Latin kings dude asks Bam Bam about the tats on his head. Bam Bam said some smartass racial shit to him, and long story short, had a gun put to his head. Nash said he offered the guy like 200 bucks to let him walk, but the guy said fuck that. He and Scott end up talkin the guy and his crew into letting them leave, and said when they got a few miles down the road, Scott goes PULL THIS FUCKIN CAR OVER NOW. Nash stopped the car, and Scott proceeded to cut the mother of all promos on Bam Bam, and banned him from ever riding with him again. Nash seemingly has an infinite supply of crazy/funny stories lol.

[@tapset]

Nash podcast is so good

[@bigsteve8921]

Only in wrestling could you hear "Bam Bam was such a professional." "Bam Bam was the first guy to give me shrooms." 😂

[@joetroller514]

it's a shame his run in the 80s never worked out, Bam Bam vs Hulk Hogan could have been cool to see

[@lowbudgetcomicsthings7068]

If you don't want crap questions, screen them before wasting air time

[@AlienWoodpecker]

Seriously! I’ve always thought this, too.

[@liamstewart4472]

when you hear the stuff that Kevin Nash has been saying about Bam Bam lately, he sounds like a nightmare to be around.

[@theninthheart4736]

Uhh he was an obese animal from freaking new jersey lmfaoo. What do you expect....?

[@_TheShowStopper]

Yeah IDK about that! Bam Bam is always being talked about in a positive light from guys in the business! Nash can say whatever he wants, Bam Bam was Special! Dude is a G! Go read about how he saved kids from a buring building too!

[@patrickboian8545]

New Yorkers always think they super hood and tough.

[@ZBR_ProXP]

@@patrickboian8545 well he was from NJ

[@ZBR_ProXP]

Nash said what happened like they saved his life. Didn’t say how Bam Bam was responding to someone shoving a gun in his face or how he reacted afterward

[@georgemaranville3305]

Disco: don’t ask general questions. Konnan: I’ll tell stories anyway. Disco: no open ended questions. Ask questions about specific stories we could easily find already on KZbin. Brilliant

[@thomasarmy67]

Bam Bam was a top three big man of all time IMO. His run in ECW was so damn good.

[@ryanmurfin7492]

Taking mushrooms in bathroom. No double meaning there lol jk

[@beauclark1650]

imagine being mad at your audience for asking a specific question

[@coolguythatcomments3449]

I don't get why Disco made the question a big deal not to answer.. what if the person didnt have a specific story or question to ask? It seemed like a general character question to me, a simple "Oh he was cool backstage." Seemed like it woulda been fine.. Thanks to Konnan for understanding the assignment, and he didn't go on for hours..

[@justint8635]

Disco comes off like an airhead sometimes. It is what it is.

[@Heavy_C]

Always been a big fan of Bam Bam. I met him when I was a young kid and he was really nice to me and my older brother. I’ve heard a lot of negative things about him from the clique and such, but I think you can tell all you need to about a person from how they treat children and dogs. And he was great to me and my brother in our run-in with him.

[@Userunknown0010]

Jeeze take it easy Kermit 😂😂😂

[@memorydrain7806]

Thanks for the Bam Bam story.

[@alo4912]

No problem bro👍

[@diluted8]

The clip ends with... " not to say that we won't in the future" is kind of like a light bulb going off for konnan

[@philwalsh8975]

Bam Bam Bigelow's head had for fire than AEW's creativity

[@wce05308]

Nash told a great story about bam bam and some Latino gangsters on his podcast. Worth a listen.

[@mrjeremyleblanc]

Bigelow sounds like the kinda guy you would split a 30 with

[@bobbybutler6501]

The reason we ask genius is cause we don’t know you or bam bam. As if we know stories about y’all cause we use to hang all the time right? For someone who’s begging for us to watch and listen to your videos u sure know how to sell the audience I am a fan of you now, not when u wrestled. Your a better talk host then a wrestler

[@QAZ-OMEN]

Shrooms with Konnan and Bam Bam sounds FUN AF

[@jackiejones3296]

is he in the Hall Of Fame yet?

[@russellcampbell3500]

He should be

[@AdrianBeegoatz]

That Bam Bam anecdote with the mushrooms was great 🤣 I knew that guy had to be into something good, just based on his look.

[@superheavychris9345]

Such real talk from the triple OG KDawg! It’s always great to hear honest humble stories from a Legend!

[@QuentinDude]

Bigelow was a great big man. Doesnt get as much love as other big men in the sport. . Much like King Kong Bundy, Big John Studd, Sid, even Vader.

Bam Bam was a professional journeyman and a good dude. You can’t hide character and it comes out in every interview he ever did. I don’t know why Nash felt the need to bring up some nonsense which I’m not even sure I believe about him and some bikers. You have to watch Nash, he likes to embellish a bit too. You cant help but like Kevin but sometimes he’s loyal to a fault to people that aren’t great humans

[@ultwarrior3664]

One time this kids hired bam bam to beat up their instructor major Payne. But the major handled him.

[@TysonMaddux]

To Matthew’s question AJPW did it recently and called it a Kings Road Match for the Triple Crown Championship. Basically you had to win 2 straight matches to win the whole match.

[@Ghoulies]

Did you wrestle on the night that you had those mushrooms, Konnan? I guess you had them after, but if not that'd be nuts 😄

[@Boss3Nate]

First 1:30 Disco is just crying like a little baby

Most people seem to have had a positive opinion of Bigelow. But Lanny Poffo really seems to have hated him. I've heard him call Bam Bam a fat piece of garbage or something similar in a couple of different shoot interviews, but it doesn't seem like the interviewers ever really asked why.

[@jasontopete8206]

I'm too young or wasn't watching his program at the time, so I don't know too much about Bobby Eaton. He must be a real one because I heard Goldberg wanted him to break "the streak". Says alot about him and even a little about Goldberg. Maybe he wasn't so much a mark for himself. Like Konnan, ready to put an old timer over out of sheer respect.

[@fizzyfuzz5878]

He was definitely an interesting in ring talent. Wish during goldberg's streak we had gotten the goldberg vs. bam bam match at world war 3 '98. Or at the very least a singles match on nitro, maybe like at the starrcade go home show.

That's a completely stupid answer by Disco. You're doing a Podcast dummy. But it shocks you to discover someone asks you for backstage stories about a wrestler? News flash, about 40% of your podcast is doing just that.

Why answer questions if hes a diva about it. Dude prob. Dont got much 2 say its not like he is well known.

[@MC-kj7dy]

Disco makes no sense. Why would anyone ask about a story they already know about? They don't get that podcasts are meant to go in depth but they have this weird philosophy to do quick soundbites, no that's not how it works. People listen to podcasts when they're driving or working out they want podcasters to go in depth. There's a reason Cornette has a successful podcast. These guys are really stuck in the past. Konnan got it, no way would anyone know about the stories he told! Too bad disco's ADHD ass cuts him off all the time and rushes through everything.
