World Wrestling Entertainment is saddened by the loss of Ray Traylor, professionally known as the Big Boss Man. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
Inside the wrestling ring, Boss Man was one of the most feared and respected Superstars of his time. Outside the ring, however, Traylor was a kind, gentle, charitable, compassionate family man. While his WWE persona was known for antagonizing others, the real Traylor stopped at nothing to put smiles on the faces of the children he would meet.
Traylor began wrestling in 1984. While serving as a prison guard in Cobb County, Georgia, Traylor caught the attention of a local Atlanta wrestling booker. After months of learning the ropes and paying his dues, Traylor was re-christened Big Bubba Rogers. Not long after, Big Bubba Rogers was in main events all over the country, serving as Jim Cornette’s bodyguard.
A few years later, Traylor traveled to Stamford, Connecticut, to meet with Vince McMahon. Shortly thereafter, the Big Boss Man was created.
As a member of WWE, Big Boss Man rapidly moved up the ranks to main event status. It was as the Boss Man in WWE that Traylor enjoyed his greatest success, facing off against many huge names – Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Andre the Giant.
Ray's spirit and warm nature will never be forgotten.

September 24th, 2004 04:13 PM #4He was one of the first wrestling superstars I saw on TV. Nagsimulang rulebreaker, eventually naging fan favorite matapos apihin ni Bobby "The Brain" Heenan yung nanay niya. Madalas niyang costume sa ring yung blue sheriff's uniform and black pants with side stripes, with matching nightstick pa. Eventually naging all-black yung outfit niya, parang SWAT. Notorious yan dati kasi pagkatapos ng laban iha-handcuff niya yung kalaban niya sa ropes tsaka uumbagin ng nightstick.
Man, they're all falling by the wayside. Scott Bigelow aka Bam Bam Bigelow, Owen Heart aka The Rocket aka The King Of Harts, Davey Boy Smith aka The British Bulldog, Curt Hennig aka Mr. Perfect, among others. Tapos pati si Boss Man tigok na. May they rest in peace in that big wrestling ring in the sky.

September 24th, 2004 05:01 PM #7Bukod pa kay Sgt. Slaughter, may isa ring matanda na naka-red trunks na kalaban naman ni Randy Orton. Parang series sya, kung san pinalalaban yung mga oldies against new guns.

Naalala ko si Big Boss Man kasama pa yan sa Corporation nila Vince McMahon, tapos naging Corporate Ministry with the Undertaker nung WWF pa sila.

September 26th, 2004 05:35 PM #16Unknown causes daw mk. We'll know sometime this week pero sa tingin ko heart failure yan.
To anyone who don't know who he is, he's famous for playing the Big Bossman. Yung gimmick niya ay naka-uniform na prison guard at sunglass. Mahilig niyang gamitin yung baton niya. Hina-handcuff muna niya ang kalaban niya sa ring pagtapos bubugbugin ng baton.
