18 WWE Attitude Era Midcarders That Deserve Hall Of Fame

8. Big Boss Man

Big Boss Man was a huge star for Vince McMahon during the late 1980s and early '90s, both as a babyface and heel. When WCW came calling in 1993 with a bigger contract offer than his current employer, he made the jump, preceding so many others that he had shared the ring with. As his star faded in 1998, though, he saw the opportunity to return home to the company that made him a household name and he took it. As the bodyguard for the evil Mr. McMahon character, he was an integral part of The Corporation faction. He was the hired gun sent to the ring to soften up Steve Austin, Mankind, The Rock and The Undertaker.

The result was one of the most significant pushes of his career. Not since his series with Hulk Hogan had he been so important to the grand scheme of things. Even when he dropped down the card, he was still a valuable midcard talent, working the likes of Al Snow, Road Dogg and Hardcore Holly. His most memorable feud of that era, though, involved The Big Show. Months after cooking Snow's dog and feeding it to him, Boss Man intensified his heeldom by revealing that Big Show was a bastard child, then topped it all off by poking fun of the death of the giant's father.

He was brilliant, a nasty and old-school villain that relished every opportunity to infuriate the fans. And in the process, he strengthened what was already a Hall of Fame career.
