Scott Bigelow was billed at three hundred and ninety pounds with flames tattooed across his whole bald head. He could do things in a wrestling ring that men a hundred pounds lighter could not do, and everybody in the business said so. That combination is the entire reason anybody remembers him.
He is the one man on this channel whose size was never the punchline, because he was simply too good. This episode is about what it costs to carry three hundred and ninety pounds at that speed for fifteen years, across four promotions and two continents.
This is a countdown of fifteen things he actually ate, from the sausage and peppers of the Asbury Park boardwalk and the pork roll sandwiches of New Jersey, through the chanko hot pot that Japan fed him properly, to a rented house in Florida after the phone stopped ringing. It ends at the table he grew up at.
The food did not kill him. The narration says so plainly, and so does this description.
ABOUT WICKED APPETITES
Welcome to Wicked Appetites. Pull up a chair. 🍴
Hollywood's golden-age legends lived big, and they ate even bigger. Behind the glamour, the tuxedos and the sold-out shows were plates you'd never find on a menu today: jellied meats, questionable casseroles, 3 a.m. diner feasts and "health foods" that were anything but.
On this channel we dig into the strange, shocking and downright grotesque things that stars, crooners and icons of retro America really ate. Some of it will make you hungry. Most of it won't.
