Is the first pic Goldberg?
Here's a couple of hints on the other 2.
One was a legend in Japan and had wars with Ric Flair and Sting in NWA/WCW and is considered one of the greatest 'Big Men' of All-Time.
The other had a vanilla bland personality as a babyface; however completely reinvented his character to be a major star right before his untimely death.

I know Brian Pillman was on the Bengals squad briefly so I'm going to say the third pic is him.

What about the Big Cat? Too old? I remember The Big Cat calling Andre the Giant a "fat French Fry"

Worst Horseman Ever.
It was cringeworthy to watch/listen to.

The early RAWs had three commentators: Vince McMahon, Bobby Heenan and The Worst Wrestling Commentator I've Ever Heard.
