HARD TIMES | The Big Bossman Story (Full Career Documentary)
Its rare for a wrestler to get one great run with the WWE, but two great runs, well that’s usually saved for the likes of Hulk Hogan and the The Rock’s of the world. Let it never be forgotten then that at the height of both the Hulkamania and The Attitude Era, Ray Traylor stood tall in one of the most prominent positions on the card, regularly taking part in main event angles and holding his own with the promotions top stars at the time. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that he would be placed in this position though because he was always one of the most talented performers on the roster. So join us today as we take a deep dive into his entire career journey in Hard Times: The Big Boss Man Story.

Always my personal favorite as a kid even though he was a heel often. People really don't talk about how gifted he was in the ring as well. It's a shame his later runs got him saddled with so many crap gimmicks but he darn near got them over. He's right up there with Bam Bam Bigelow at being one of the most talented big men in the game who is also so incredibly underrated

@dexho1457 2 года назад

I think titles aren’t that important for a wrestler to be a legend or icon. The performance matters, and he was one of the best to ever do it.

@dexho1457 2 года назад

Besides, HHH has won so many titles but he is hated as a kiss ass and a daughter fucker. He makes a great heel, no doubt about that, but he will never be a Rock or Austin, his mic skills weren’t as good, his in ring technique was typical, and he wasn’t all that interesting. He is a outstanding foil to baby faces. But even in DX he was outshined by xpax and road dogg. Even billy was a better technician

@reynaldogarcia643 2 года назад

@superrobz 2 года назад

Probably one the the most under appreciated wrestlers of my childhood. I always liked Ray and always thought he deserved more than just the hardcore title as a singles competitor. He was in so many memorable feuds I’m surprised he wasn’t given the Intercontinental title at the very least. With the deepest regrets, and tears that are soaked I'm sorry to hear that your dad finally croaked He lived a full life on his own terms Soon he'll be buried and eaten by worms But if I could have a son as stupid as you I'd have wished for cancer so I would die too So be brave, and be strong, get your life on track 'Cause the old bastard's DEAD and he ain't never comin' back!' - Boss Man to Big Show 😂
