Then:

Now looking closer to an ambulance chaser than a prison guard, Big Bubba Rogers was booked in Nitro's first ever main event with Hogan's title on the line. Roger's boasted an amazing agility for a man of his size, along with strikes and offence that looked believably brutal. He was the perfect foil for Hulkamania. Rogers fought hard and looked strong in defeat.

After:

As the Big Boss Man, Ray Traylor was one of the most recognisable wrestlers of the '90s. A talent who remained popular during the shift between the New Generation and Attitude Eras. He was a fixture in the Hardcore division and a reliable midcard performer. His in-ring career may be overshadowed by chihuahua cooking and corpse stealing, but Boss Man gave fans much Attitude and entertainment.

Traylor passed away on 22nd September 2004 after suffering a heart attack. He entered the WWE Hall of Fame posthumously in the Class of 2016.

Last Match:
