Shane Douglas Talks about Bam Bam

Shane Douglas on Bam Bam Tribute show and classic Bam Bam interview to air this weekend

Shane Douglas was a guest on a very special edition of Monday Night Mayhem this week that was dedicated to the career of Bam Bam Bigelow. Other guests included JJ Dillon (who was in the WWE front office putting together the LT vs Bam Bam WM11 match) and former ECW Referee Jim Molineaux who now works for the Monster Factory (the school that trained Bam Bam). The full 2+ hour tribute show is now archived in streaming Real Audio to hear for free on AudioWrestling.com and MondayNightMayhem.com. MNM can be heard live every Monday night from 9-11PM EST. during RAW on the Showdown.net site. A classic interview with the late Bam Bam Bigelow will be streaming live this Sunday (1/28) at noon EST. also on Showdown.net

Here are highlights from Shane Douglas talking about Bam Bam:

*Shane said Bam Bam had a presence that brought a special attitude to matches that made them feel more real.

*The Triple Threat was discussed with some funny road stories of the group. Shane said it was not uncommon for Bam Bam to buy a ton of fast food when arriving in a city the night before a show and then unplugging the phone line in his hotel room so that the consumption would not be disturbed. Shane said it was his honor to work with Bam Bam and Chris Candido as the Triple Threat. Shane said after the original Triple Threat (w/ Malenko and Benoit) broke up, the Triple Threat needed a classic big man to make the group legit and Bam Bam gave them that. Shane says ECW was where the world really got to see the real Scott Bigelow.

*Shane says he will always remember a matchup in ECW with Bigelow vs the late Terry Bam Bam Gordy and how they worked the crowd so well before even their first lock up in the match, an art that is missing from the business today.

*Bam Bam was a great father as Shane got to witness first hand.

*Bam Bam was one of the greatest big men in the history of the business.

*Shane said there hasn't been a day that has gone by where he hasn't thought about his good friend Chris Candido and now he has lost both of his Triple Threat teammates.
