Not really. He was purely a wrestling attraction. There was no real cultural impact beyond the time period nor outside of wrestling. He made virtually no contribution to wrestling in the U.K. besides ticket sales which rapidly waned. His brother did all of the promotion and booking. Big Daddy was a freak sideshow to the athletic undercards. He was a big heel for years then a face later on once he was totally obese and immobile enough to look formidable enough to fight Giant Haystacks in a light shoving match.
