Triple H Recounts Vince McMahon Hosting Meeting To Decide Talent Releases, Claims The Kliq Voted To Keep Bam Bam Bigelow In WWF/E
Levesque claims The Kliq voted to keep Bam Bam in the company.
The late Scott Bigelow, a.k.a. Bam Bam Bigelow, had two stints in the WWF/E throughout his career. One was in the late 1980s, and the other was in the mid-1990s.
Bigelow’s name came up during Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque’s appearance on Cody Rhodes’ What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast. Levesque remembers former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon hosting a meeting to decide who would stay and who would leave the company.
Levesque stated that Bigelow ‘hated’ The Kliq (Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall & Triple H), but all of them voted to keep Bam Bam with the company.
“There was a moment where a bunch of us were in a room and Vince (McMahon) was there — famous meeting — Indianapolis — and Vince took out a roster and was like, ‘Who leaves? Who stays?’ And this is a point in time when I was kind of new-ish, right? I didn’t feel qualified to even be making that thing. But, I remember there was some people on there that their names came up. I remember one in particular and it’s Bam Bam Bigelow. Bam Bam hated The Kliq. I don’t know that anybody had an issue with him per se but he just, for whatever reason, he hated — and his name came up, and we had all written down our stuff on paper and given ‘em to Vince and he’s like, ‘Hmm, you guys all unanimously want him here.’ We’re like, ‘Yeah, he’s f*cking really good.’ ‘Yeah, but he hates you guys.’ ‘So what? I want him on my team.’ I want him on the team. Because it’s not about he don’t like us… He’s f*cking good. So he should be here. There’s some other guys on there that we like a lot. I like him as a person. I like him as a person but, come or go, doesn’t matter. Those are tough decisions to make…”
After Bam Bam finished up his second stint with the WWF, he ventured to ECW and returned to WCW.
