Ray Traylor, R.I.P.

From 411wrestling:

Big Bossman Passes Away At Age 42
Posted By Ashish on 09.23.04

Another tragic wrestling death....

Ray "Big Bossman" Traylor suddenly passed away Wednesday night at his home. He was 42.

Traylor had a very successful run as The Big Bossman in the WWF years ago, and another semi-successful stint with the WWF in the late 90s as a somewhat repackaged Bossman.

His cause of death is a mystery right now. He did not have any known health problems.

411 would like to send our best wishes to Traylor's friends and family.


Sad that the first thought I had on hearing this was wondering whether or not The Big Show might invade the funeral and drag Bossman's coffin around.(It was a terrible angle a few years ago. The less said the better, as well as the terrible Bossman/Al Snow/Al Snow's dog storyline which ended with the worst cage match ever; Kennel in a Cell at a PPV whose title escapes my memory. Horrible.)

*Edit* - An Atlanta-area TV station is reporting that Ray Traylor died of a massive heart attack. Probably too much biscuits and gravy.

Nothing I've heard. He wasn't a 'roid guy, or anything like that.

I must concur with my esteemed colleague (Dr. Muggleton.)
It appears to be another victim of Stuckeysitis.
God rest him. He was not embarrassing. Much.
