Finally, twelve years after his untimely death, Ray 'Big Boss Man' Traylor is being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, alongside already announced inductees The Godfather, The Fabulous Freebirds, and Sting.

By the time the 90's arrived, The Big Boss Man was one of the most popular stars on the WWF roster.

Boss Man shirts, Boss Man foam nightsticks, Boss Man baseball caps, Boss Man masks, Boss Man action figures - the guy was everywhere. After a moderately successful midcard run in WCW (including a stint in the New World Order), the Boss Man would return home to the WWE in late 1998, this time as a heel. He even replaced the iconic blue uniform with black riot gear and a vest - sorry Roman Reigns, but the Boss Man can claim credit for that look! Although the Boss Man is no longer with us, it's good that we get to see such a storied career now capped with the honor of "Hall of Famer". We all remember the uniform, the badge, and the threat of "Servin' Hard Time!", but let's look at at ten other facts about the man who "carried a big stick, a ball and chain too"...
