One of my earliest favourites as a heel, undoubtedly. Admittedly when we talk about the best big men normally Vader or Bigelow's name come up first but Bossman is up there for me, definitely. That's true.....Bossman's name should come up more here. |

Seeing Hogan Suplex him in that vid posted earlier is one of the more vivid memories of my childhood watching wrestling...it was incredible; still is... |

His feud with "The Heenan Family" was epic..... one of my favorite things ever in wrestling.
I wish they did fun stories (that carried over weeks & months) like this on the current programming.
As a bonus - Heenan's "Boss Man's Mother" jokes were hilarious!

As a kid I loved the Big Boss Man. I remember when he was attacked by Nailz and just how  ing brutal the beating was. Watching as (what must have been) a ten year old kid at the time was hard to watch. And then the WWF Magazine posted these really graphic pictures of the beating that sold it even more! Also Big Boss Man was part of my first "peak behind the curtain" of pro wrestling. During the 1992 European Rampage in Glasgow Scotland the WWE did two nights which I was lucky enough as a kid to go to both nights. One of the matches on the first night was Big Boss Man vs The Bezerker. the match if I am honest was fun. but nothing special. But a couple of months later the WWF Magazine did a piece about the European Tour and one of the matches was Big Boss Man vs Bezerker, but from a different show........ but the pics they showed were of some of the exact same spots that I saw at my show! This was one of the first times I really questioned the fact if wrestling was "real" lol. As Even as a ten year old I could tell they must have done the exact same match there. Another memory of the Big Boss Man I have is his feud with the Heenan family and all the funny things The Brain would say about his mother. Man I wanted him to win the IC title so bad at Wrestlemania. Actually in 1991 the Big Boss Man had great matches at the Royal Rumble against Barbarian, WM against Perfect and his classic with The Mountie at Summerslam. |
