"has passed away at his home suddenly tonight. He had not been complaining of feeling badly but his wife found him in a room, not breathing and paramedics were unable to revive him."

42? Damn, I remember that guy from the early 90's. I figured he was older than that. I wonder what he died from. He was kind of a load. Maybe clogged arteries.

Maybe the juice, eh?

from pwinsider

Atlanta TV Station WSB-TV reported today that Ray Traylor's cause of death was a "massive heart attack."

Traylor, a former WWF Hardcore and Tag Team champion best known to fans as The Big Boss Man during his WWF runs, passed away last night at his home in Paulding County, Georgia.

The official website for Paulding County has made an official announcement of Traylor's passing as well, which you can find at this link. Special thanks to Ryan Allen

I wonder if somebody will have his casket wheeled around the gravesite to the back of a pickup, just so we remember one of the worst WWE gimmicks of all time.

It happens, and a lot of the time they don't know why.
Even to low risk people.
We'll probably never know what caused this one.

RIP Big Bossman - one of my all time favorites...
Didn't like him at first, but he grew on me.

Bossman's first gimmick - Big Bubba Rogers, Jim Cornette's bodyguard. One night, Dusty Rhodes CREAMED him with a chair. he didn't flinch. he calmly took his hat off, place it on the ring pole, and then kicked Dusty's ass. a career was made that night.



seriously looking like he could kill you, as the Bossman..
