22. The Big Boss Man Raids The Big Show’s Dad’s Funeral
You might think that he was a dumb and violent thug, but the Big Boss Man was actually a master of psychology.
With his aviators set on the WWF World title, the Boss Man went to war with the Big Show in late 1999. Boss Man knew that Paul Wight was a far bigger dude. The biggest dude in the company, in fact. He could not match him in a straight-up, toe-to-toe battle. He needed some sort of nefarious advantage. How best to accomplish that?
Perhaps he could attack Big Show with his trusty nightstick before the big match. Maybe he could feign an injury during the match itself and hit him in the balls, where even a giant feels the sensation of agony. Or, he could raid his deceased father’s funeral and tow the casket away like it was an illegally parked car, and not human remains.
Boss Man arrived on the scene, his horribleness literally amplified by a megaphone, once again reminding Big Show that there was no way of his father coming back to life. He was fixated on this, as if he took sick pleasure in reiterating that as bad as it feels now, it will never, ever get better.
Boss Man then asked Show’s father’s grieving widow if she wanted to enjoy some hard times. This naturally enraged Show, who promptly got run over before failing to mount the runaway casket and falling into the grave.
Show had already been booked six feet under, so this, at least, was nothing he wasn’t used to.
