Bam Bam held numerous titles during his career, including the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and the WCW Hardcore Championship. He never held any titles in the WWF, but he was also part of numerous pay-per-view main events and many memorable moments in the company's history. In a famous ''[[Wrestlemania]]'' main event in 1995, he main evented against New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor. By the end of the 1990s, Bam Bam was in WCW and stayed there until the bitter end.
