Winamp

Weird title!

[Skylo]

Why the hell does winamps title read: "Doing our best to keep the spirit of bam bam bigalow alive"

Who the heck is bam bam bigalow. Sorry if this is an obvious question but I am from South Africa and it makes no sense to a 19 year old.
Cheers

[Skylo]

But why would a music related site do that unless they were big bigalow fans I guess

[lawman]

The first answer was free. I'll have to charge you for a second.

[copongcopong]

yeah the wrestler way back from the hulkamania days ... the fat guy who wears black shirt with firey designs at the edge. usually do some tumbling stuffs.

[Skylo]

From what I can remember that was most entertaining :)

My fave was Rick Flair :)

Karl

[Mike12345]

What was that really big fat guy called, sumo fella? about ten years gone. He's probably dead now due to obescity.

CurlyKarl, was rick flair the guy with teh tennis racket and the bright pink undies?

[lawman]

Ric Flair
aka Slic Ric, The Nature Boy, Space Mountain, a Horseman, World Heavyweight Champion

Can anyone think of any others?

Woooooooo.

[mivox]

Andre the Giant (remember him mostly from The Princess Bride, rather than the WWF).

[digitalghost]

>>Can anyone think of any others

The Sheik. Wasn't he the one that hid the small weapon in his hand, and used it to gouge his competitors? That's the only one I can recall, and only because I wondered at the time, (I might have been all of 5), why the referee didn't do something about it. ;)

[sun818]

The 8th Wonder of the World! Not sure how far it spread, but I recall in California his image was iconized [obeygiant.com] and pasted all over the City.

I liked Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka best because he did the crazy jumps from the third rail!

[copongcopong]

How about "Strike Force" tag team and Ravishing Rick Rude? I still remember when I was a kid ... <background music ... camera shows clouds and sky ... everything starts to blur ...> :)

[JonB]

that sumo guy is Yokozuna

also known were Hacksaw jim dugan , jake the snake roberts, Koko B ware, georgw the animal forest and many others i belive.

[Mike12345]

Ahh yokozuna, he was huuuge.

What about that tag team, shaun michaels and that other guy who always wore black lyrac trousers thingies with green paint splattered all over them. Didnt they have a chesney hawkes song as their intro music or something?

And that cop guy what was he called. the boss or something?

[Skylo]

Brett "THE HITMAN" Hart?

[werty]

Some other big WWF names that I did not see mentioned:

Roddy Piper - he wore a kilt and stared in many terrible movies

Macho Man Randy Savage - as seen in 100's of Slim Jim commercials

King Kong Bundy - big big man, Hulk Hogan I think body slammed him in some Wrestlemania event

Superfly Jimmy Snuka(sp?)

Sargent Slaughter - I think the spelling is butchered but that was suggested by google

Big Boss Man - he was the cop

Junk Yard Dog

Brutis "The Barber" Beefcake

Rick "The Model" Martel

Sean Micheals and Marty Geneti

The Bushwackers

Also there was some "Russian" guy who was on the "bad" side with The Iron Sheik. I think later on he became a good guy. I do not know why I know this.

[Mike12345]

Marty Geneti that was it. He reminds me of Mike myers with stretchy pants on! lol!

Cheers Werty i will be able to rest now.

<added>Did they all have a catchphrase? like hulk hogan did, his was something like what ya gonna do when hulk walks all over you or comes for you or something?</added>

That was Yokozuna, and yes he did pass away a couple of years ago.

Also there was some "Russian" guy who was on the "bad" side with The Iron Sheik.

That was Nikolai Volkoff

Welcome Mike12345
