www.gofundme.com/84emh3cs Jim Dotson who was Head of Security for WWE during the Attitude Era passed away on December 10. He left WWE when he began experiencing severe headaches and lost the vision in his eyes. He once began a program with Steve Blackman, but never worked any matches in WWE.

I remember this dude being Big Show's eyewitness of the Rock's feet hitting the floor first in the rumble when he was trying to get in the main event of WM2000. He wasn't much of an actor. And that's all I know, but still RIP

I love how it says "Big Jim" on his backstage pass in that picture. The guy always looked more imposing than the majority of the wrestlers.

Whatever else you can say, during that era you didn't have fans jumping the rails as often

I guess the HWF (Heavenly Wrestling Federation) has just signed their new head of security for their shows and events up there as well as the head of security for the golden gates. RIP Big Guy

I think that Vince wanted him to make the transition but it never happened.

Vince wanted his to be a wrestler but Jim didn't want to. RIP to him.

He inspired Triple H to start wearing a leather hat, which fundamentally altered this business.

I have long wondered what happened to him. I always remembered his name for some reason, and noticed his disappearance from the company just because he was almost always right there at the bottom of the ramp, looking bigger than 99% of the roster.
R.I.P Big Jim.

49 years, the last few of which were spent blind. Damn, that sucks.
I hope WWE helps his family out. I know they have a lot of people to cover but it'd be a big gesture of kindness.

I agree, WWE should help with the expenses.

A guy who could wear a leather hat AND fanny pack combo and you wouldn't dare question it. R.I.P
