Sorry Theddy but this isn't even a fair fight. Taz is miles ahead. We should of gave Bam Bam a partner and made this a handicap match cuase thats the only way he'll get more than 5 votes.

[Destor]

:(

[thedamndest]

I would just like to say that many wrestlers lay it all down in the ring, but not many get the chance to save kids from a burning building, which Bam Bam Bigelow did. And now he is dead. Ladies and gentlemen, one of the most agile big men in the business, I give you Bam Bam Bigelow. Could he promo? Yes. Could he wrestle? You'd better believe it. Could he moonsault? Paul London STILL studies his tapes. Sure, he was stuck in his share of dead end feuds, but the guy was great. Plus he saved two kids from fire. If only he could have saved himself...

[thedamndest]

Nah, the boards are gonna come alive for the big man, you'll see.

Vote with the idea in mind that Bam Bam could be in Heaven RIGHT NOW having an epic feud with Eddie Guererro while TazZ is stuck announcing Entertainment Championship Wrestling. Your heart will tell you what to do.

[Destor]

Vader is so awesome.

[Destor]

Probably in my top 5 of all time.

[McLegend]

How the fuck is this gonna be a blowout?

[Destor]

You think TPWW has seen enough Bam Bam to put him over Taz? I don't.

[McLegend]

That does make sense. Still though Bam Bam was awsome.

[Nowhere Man]

Tough call, but this time around I'm voting Bam-Bam. Not only was he phenomenally agile for someone that big, but being a real-life hero doesn't hurt either. It's a damn shame he never got the recognition he deserved.

Taz is awesome, but I gotta give it up to Bigelow. Plus, he did win their most famous match between the two, so even in kayfabe he gets the edge.

[The One]

Tazmaniac

[Juan]

Bam Bam is a legend IMO, but if we're talking about actual wrestling skills, I'm gonna have to go with Taz(z).

[Porcupine]

Bam Bam is a legend IMO, but if we're talking about actual wrestling skills, I'm gonna have to go with Taz(z).

These polls arent just for pure wrestling skill, its for every skill that makes up a wrestler, including mic skills/personality/career etc.

I voted for Bam Bam. I've always been partial to the hosses/big men of wrestling and think he was one of the best big men the business has ever seen. He was just so awesome in his WWF run that I can't vote against him. Perhaps its because theres some nostalgia factored in or whatever, but Bam Bam gets my vote.

[Juan]

Good points, but I don't remember him being too great on the mic, so I'm gonna stick with Taz.

[NoRoolz]

Taz for me, again.

I liked Bam Bam, alot. But I like Taz just that bit more.

Also, Destor, if you've not yet decided who to put against Taz in the next round (presuming he wins), give Rob Van Dam a thought ;)

[Destor]

I alaways appreciate the imput but RVD was our first champion and he can't have another go atm. But I do know who I'm going to throw at him next, and I expect it to offend a large number of you.

[Destor]

12-6. A lot closer than I figured it would be at this point.

[thedamndest]

Hey, Bam Bam has more votes than Sabu. Not as close as I would have hoped, but not the blow out I was afraid of. And there's always the NYDon vote tomorrow, I have a feeling about that one.

[Destor]

rofl

[Destor]

Seriously laughing right now

[thedamndest]

I'll bet if I had picked Ted DiBiase he would have swept over Taz like crazy, especially with Junior on Raw now. But I was hoping to go for something close, and these two actually had a sweet feud. But Bam Bam did have his share of misses (I totally forgot about his WCW days).

[thedamndest]

Maybe if it was Bam Bam and his main squeeze Luna Vachon...

[Theo Dious]

Basically Taz and Bam Bam occupy the same spot for me. Both were entertaining and both were good in a way I didn't expect. Of coruse, Taz never main evented Wrestlemania... but then, he also never jobbed to a clown (that I know of.)

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Bam Bam is awesome, but he was just a little bit before my time... I saw more of his stuff from his last WWE run/ECW than anything else. Not enough to warrant him going over Taz.

With that said, I think a Taz/Vader match up would be... interesting.

[Destor]

Is Vader over enough on TPWW to warrant being a round 5 competitor though?

[Heros Welcome]

I haven't seen much of Bam Bam, but from what I saw he is def one of the greatest, if not the greatest BIG man in the history of the sport. Still not enough for me to put him over TAZ. Bam Bam may have beaten him for the TV Title, but that does not change my vote. Vote goes to TAZ

[Afterlife]

He's grown man called "Bam Bam". Then again, he's a grown man named "Taz". Fuck it, I'm not giving a reason. Bam Bam has my vote.

[Destor]

Is Vader over enough on TPWW to warrant being a round 5 competitor though?
I would appreciate aserious response from TPWW.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Round 5, probably not, but he could easily go up against him before Round 5. I'd say round 4. Round 5, I have no clue who'd be good against Taz. There are the obvious people, but outside of them, I don't know. Maybe someone like Raven, Angle,... who knows.

[Mister Sinister]

Jerry Lynn?

[Londoner]

Taz because i've seen more of his work.

[Destor]

Round 5, probably not, but he could easily go up against him before Round 5. I'd say round 4. Round 5, I have no clue who'd be good against Taz. There are the obvious people, but outside of them, I don't know. Maybe someone like Raven, Angle,... who knows.
Next round is the fith round though, if Taz wins his next match he goes into the HoF.

[Porcupine]

Is Vader over enough on TPWW to warrant being a round 5 competitor though?

I dont know if Vader is over enough on TPWW to be a round 5 competitor, but Vader is one of my top, top, favorites. I'd be hard pressed to vote against Vader

[MCEazy]

While Bam Bam is one of my favorite big men up there w/ Vader and Big Show and i liked his wwf theme song when i was younger, he still doesn't quite measure up to taz, especially considering promos.

[MCEazy]

i'd like to see Angle against taz in round 5

[Theo Dious]

I would appreciate aserious response from TPWW.

I really don't think Vader is level 5 material, no. Taz would mop the floor with him on any level though.

[FourFifty]

Taz > Bam Bam > Tazz > The Tazz

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I love Bam Bam, along with Lesnar and Vader my favorite big man. I sitll have to go wit h Taz though.

[PapaGeorgio]

No contest, Bam Bam all the way.

[Pardeep 619]

I like Taz, but in terms of in ring work I slightly preferred Bam Bam. That and he managed to main event Wrestlemania despite an all kliq WWE title match on the card

[PapaGeorgio]

The results for this really are pissing me off. Like I'm a big Taz fan and everything, but come on people. Need we forget his oscar worthy performance in Ready 2 Rumble?

[Porcupine]

The results for this really are pissing me off. Like I'm a big Taz fan and everything, but come on people. Need we forget his oscar worthy performance in Ready 2 Rumble?

Also his amazing theme music.

BAM BAM!....BAM BAM!

The music clearly stated which wrestler was coming to the ring.

+1 to Bam Bam.

[thedamndest]

Yeah! And Taz's just said "Survive...if I let you..." And if you let me? Then what? Can we go play X-Box? That's not very clear. Good call, Porcupine.

[D Mac]

Taz by a mile.

[BigDaddyCool]

Taz.

I'll fucking kill you if you don't say Taz.

[BigDaddyCool]

Afterlife, Dorkchop, Indifferent Clox, legend, NoJabbaNoBogRoll, Nowhere Man, NYDon, PapaGeorgio, Pardeep 619, Porcupine, thedamndest, and DarthTeedious are all going to die now.

[Afterlife]

Name Rep.

[The Optimist]

I would have voted for Bam Bam.

[thedamndest]

Sadly, it would take a lot more optimism just that, The Optimist.
