Truth. Could have been bigger if his mic work was stronger.
I read that Vince was planning on giving Bam Bam a big push in later 1994.
Bam Bam was with the Million Dollar Corporation at the time.
The plan was to pair him and IRS and put the tag-team titles on them, and then give Bam Bam a face turn for the usual MDM/IRS reasons by the next summer.
It was set-up for Bam Bam/IRS to win the belts at SummerSlam 1994.
But, as was the case often in the New Generation era, The Kliq politicked against Bam Bam and Shawn Michaels demands to win the Tag-Titles because he never got a chance with the Rockers.
So Shawn and Diesel win the tag-titles from the Headshrinkers two days before SummerSlam and and Bam Bam and IRS get the non-title match against the Headshrinkers which they won by DQ after a changed finish.
Shawn and Diesel later vacate the titles after doing nothing with them in November 1994.
Bam Bam still turns Face in summer 1995, but asked for, and received, his release, in Fall 1995 citing The Kliq as the reason why he left. He isn't the only guy to be fucked over by those assholes. Tatanka and IRS were both earmarked for short IC Title reigns in 1994, but various Kliq Members put the kybosh on them.
The evidence of this the broken plans are the weird Royal Rumble 1994 finish in the IRS/Razor Ramon match, where IRS won the title, only for the match to be restarted without IRS knowing and Razor wins.
Tatanka meanwhile goes from a big unbeaten streak and upper Midcard placement in early 1994, to weird booking, to include a feud with IRS where he, the Face is both humiliated by having his "sacred headdress" and Chief Jay Strongbow torn up by IRS. And then IRS wins the feud at the House Shows and blow-off. A rare Face feud loss. And then Tatanka slides down the Card, joins the Million Dollar Corp. only a month later in Fall 1994, doing tags with IRS on occasion, as if nothing happened. By late 1995 Tatanka quits.
Tatanka still talks about The Kliq and their knee-capping him and others, as the major reason why he left WWF in early 1996.
