10 Most Underrated Super Heavyweights In WWE History
5. Big Boss Man
In 1988, Ray Traylor came to WWE after a run as "Big Bubba Rogers" down south in Jim Crockett Promotions. When he arrived, Vince McMahon christened him "The Big Boss Man", a corrections officer from Cobb County, Georgia.
At the time that he joined WWE, Traylor was pushing the 400 pound mark and was quickly put into a main event program against Hulk Hogan. Boss Man was then paired with fellow underrated super heavyweight, Akeem, as The Twin Towers and together they found themselves in a main event feud, challenging The Mega Powers.
Over the next several years, Boss Man busted his butt to lose close to 100 lbs as he was seemingly shrinking before our very eyes during the years of 1990 and 1991. While he would return to JCP (now known as WCW) in the mid-90s, Traylor eventually made his way back to WWE as the head of Mr. McMahon's corporate security, and he appeared to be in the best shape of his entire career.
Boss Man was always a feature performer during his WWE career with many memorable feuds against the likes of Ted DiBiase, Bobby Heenan, The Mountie and Nailz. Traylor also was a backstage mentor to many fellow wrestlers and should be more fondly remembered in the history of WWE.
