    Yikes, I did NOT see this one coming at all.

    RIP Bossman.

    Same here...

    Sadly, I'll remember him more for his failed gimmicks of the late 90's, teams with buys like Buchanon & other lamers, and lack of fan base than for his period as one of the top heels in the 80's.

    I always liked him best as Big Bubba Rogers.

    Wow...

    After reading this, I searched for more details. They said that he died of a massive heart attack.

    Rest in Peace, Boss...

    I am trely saddened to hear about Ray Traylor's passing. He was one of the guys I grew up watching. He was between stints in the WWF and WCW when I got into wrestling. But I watched a lot of Tapes from the WWF that were out at the time and he was one of my faverotes to watch. He will be missed by many.

    Not me. I remember him more for his late 80s, early 90s WWF run. The cage match with Hogan is actually one of the best blue-cage WWF matches I've ever seen, and Bossman taking a superplex from the top of the cage is a sight to see.

    His face run was really well done too. I remember him having a good match the Barbarian, of all people. It's kind of too bad that he never had a taste of being a main eventer as a face, because he might have done well, even if it was just short term. Sadly, his latter face run was involved with comedy feuds with Mountie and Nailz.
