10 Most Under-Rated Big Boss Man Wrestling Matches

7. Bam Bam Bigelow Vs. Big Boss Man (WWF Royal Rumble 1993)

Big Boss Man Hulk Hogan Cage Match

By 1993 Bam Bam Bigelow had returned to the World Wrestling Federation and it was clear he was headed for a big push. His first pay-per-view appearance came at the 1993 Royal Rumble, and Big Boss Man was his opponent. 

This match shows just how much of a team player Boss Man was when motivated, because he did everything in his power to make Bigelow look like the man. It was crucial that Bam Bam came across like a vicious heel, but there's more than meets the eye with this bout.

It was not a straightforward squash, and both worked hard to produce a fine 10-minute big man scrap.

Ironically, while it was Bam's first pay-per-view back, it would be Boss Man's last in the WWF for five years. Shortly after this show, he left the company and had a short stint in Japan before joining WCW. 

In terms of going out the right way, this was a perfect example, but the match is often overlooked.
