Should Have Been Huge: Sweet And Sour Larry Sweeney

I am not going to sit here and lie to you and tell you that I knew about Larry Sweeney and followed him from day one until he passed away.  Until he died I had no idea who he was, didn't even know his name, didn't know he existed until Chris Hero tweeted that Sweeney had passed away. Intrigued, I went to Youtube and searched for something, anything that would tell me something about this guy beyond Wikipedia. It was like finding out that there is something awesome was out there and everyone knew about it except for you, and you found out about it only after it had went away forever. Watching his promos and matches made me want to see newer and better stuff which led to the sad realization that that would never happen because in a struggle with bi-polar disorder Sweeney committed suicide.

Should Have Been Huge: Bam Bam Bigelow

Imagine if Curly from the Three Stooges, Chris Farley,and a Hell's Angel had a child and you would possibly come close to visualizing Bam Bam Bigelow. While Bigelow was indeed a star, if you look at his size, agility, and image you can't help but think that in an era with outsized personalities that Bigelow should have been bigger, or more famous than what he was. In an era of wrestling that featured slow moving big men, Bigelow exploded on the scene doing cartwheels with ease and top rope headbutts with the ease of a man half his size. One could even say that Bigelow paved the way for..husky athletic wrestlers like Samoa Joe, Umaga, Hernandez, and many other big guys who have become stars on the scene and have shown no fear in letting people know they can do more than a chokeslam and big boot.

Debuting in 1985, Bigelow quickly shot up the ranks of professional wrestling, arriving in the WWF(That used to be the name of the WWE if you happened to find this blog by accident.) with much fanfare as he was paired with Oliver Humperdink as his manager. Bigelow was mainly a midcard performer who was used to elevate guys to main event status all the way until an injury sidelined him and he lost to One Man Gang in the first round of the a title tournament leading into Wrestlemania IV.
