Report: Bam Bam Bigelow Being Considered As An Inductee For Next Year's WWE Hall Of Fame Class

"The Beast From The East" could possibly be going into the WWE Hall Of Fame.

Although Bam Bam Bigelow did not make much of a splash in the WWE world made his name in a number of other companies which has earned him the respect that comes with his name today. Having held championships in ECW, WCW, NJPW and other promotions/companies, Bigelow put together quite the resume' for himself prior to his passing in mid-January of 2007.

Next year's WrestleMania festivities will be held in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Former ECW World Heavyweight Champion Bam Bam Bigelow hails from Asbury Park, NJ and according to Dave Meltzer in his latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the New Jersey native is being considered to be an entrant into the WWE Hall Of Fame next year. A report came by way of the Observer in early February which noted that Bigelow was being considered for this year's Hall Of Fame class as well, but WrestleMania returning to the home-state of Bigelow in 2019 is what has reportedly made him a better fit for next year.
