Ray Traylor, known to wrestling fans as the Big Bossman during his days in the WWF, passed away suddenly at his home late Wednesday night. Traylor was 42 years old.
Traylor got his start at Jim Cornette's bodyguard as Big Bubba Rogers in 1986 after leaving his job as a prison guard in Marietta, Georgia. Shortly after leaving Crockett promotions over pay, he had a big run in the WWF as the Big Bossman working a program with Hulk Hogan. He later became a major star with All Japan Pro Wrestling as Big Bubba in the mid-1990's before returning to the WWF during the Attitude area, making a series of last appearances in 2001.

His death is a mystery at this point as he had not been complaining about feeling bad whatsoever. His wife found him in a room on Wednesday night and he wasn't breathing. Paramedics were unable to revive him.

I'd like to know what happened to 'em when they finally find out

 

Yeah I am curious too. With most wrestlers you might assume steroid or drug use. But, he seemed like a pretty straight guy. He didn't look ripped so I doubt he used steroids. But, as far as other drugs go who knows?

They may not take them so much as the BIG guys do to show that much but who knows [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] I dont think it was roids that killed him.

 

They don't have to take them but I would suspect most do though
