My Take

Big Boss Man is one of those wrestling characters that stuck with me, the nightstick-swinging prison guard gimmick was instantly readable. Behind it was Ray Washington Traylor Jr., born in Marietta, Georgia in 1963, a genuinely imposing presence at 198 cm. What interests me is how many identities he wore across promotions, the Boss, the Guardian Angel, and Big Bubba Rogers in WCW, before his WWF run made him a household name. He passed away far too young in 2004, but his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame confirms he left a real mark on the business.
