Ray Washington Traylor Jr. (May 2, 1963 - September 22, 2004) was an American professional wrestler best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) under the ring name Big Boss Man, as well as for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as the Boss, the Man, the Guardian Angel, and Big Bubba Rogers. During his appearances with the WWF, Big Boss Man held the WWF World Tag Team Championship once and the WWF Hardcore Championship four times.
The Big Boss Man started out wrestling in the late 1980's in the WWF. He teamed up with Akeem to form the Twin Towers with Slick as their manager. They later broke up and the Boss Man became a great singles wrestler. He is best known for wrestling in an light blue correctional officer's uniform and carrying a nightstick to the ring.
The Big Boss Man jumped to WCW in the mid 90's and had several names including Big Bubba Rogers, The Guardian Angel and The Boss, among others. He came back to the WWF in late 1998 as a security guard to Vince McMahon. In the Corporation, he teamed with Ken Shamrock to win the WWF Tag Team Titles and later he had the Hardcore Title. He doesn't wrestle much on TV for the WWE anymore, but he was last seen in the RAW brand of the WWE.
He was known for wrestling some of the biggest names in wrestling, including Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Andre the Giant, and the British Bulldog. He wrestled for both the WCW and WWE Heavyweight championships (against the British Bulldog and The Big Show, respectively) but never won either.
Traylor died of a heart attack on September 22, 2004, at his home in Dallas, Georgia. According to The Wrestling Observer, Traylor and his family were visiting with his sister at his home, and while his two daughters went upstairs to play, his wife Angela briefly left the room at about 10:00 p.m., and returned to find him dead on the sofa. He was 41 years old. Traylor was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016, with his wife and daughters accepting the award on his behalf.
