The Big Bossman died.

How sad!

Published on September 24, 2004 By Jamie Burnside In Misc

I was just reading a professional wrestling website (www.pwtorch.com) where it was reported that Ray (Big Bossman) Traylor has just died. How sad!

Big Bossman was one of my all-time favorite pro-wrestlers. It is a shame that I will never get to see him perform again.

Those guys in pro wrestling live pretty harsh lives. So many of them die young. I imagine that the travel scedule and the various temptations really get to the guys. I will miss all of the guys who leave us before they're (we're) ready. Adrian Adonis (NOT DRUGS), Rick Rude, Kerry Von Erich, Chris adams, Gino Hernandez, Curt Henig, and now Ray Traylor.

Good luck Big Bossman. We'll miss you.

I will miss the Big Bossman, too. He was one of my very favorite guys that I loved to hate. He had a gift for getting the crowd to boo him!

In addition to your list, I'd like to add Owen Hart.

May they all rest in peace.

I heard the sad news on the radio. Only 41 and his heart gave out. It is always scary and upsetting when somone so close to my own age (34) dies of "natural causes". Too short of a life. Very sad.

My favorite Bossman match came from a Wrestlemania 3, 4, or 5. (I can't remember.)

The match was the Twin Towers (BBM and Akeem) vs. the Rockers (Sean Michaels and Marty Janetty.)

The match ended as a total squash, but the Twin Towers were impressive enough to make me a fan for a long time!

In the first stand-up Wrestlemania video game, I always liked to be a tag team of Big Bossman and Honkytonk Man. They did well for me!
