Was Big Bossman a good wrestler? He was such a fixture of the Attitude Era but never a top guy and I can't remember a single memorable match he had except the one against Big Show for WWF Title. Even that isn't memorable for the match itself but for the hilariously over-the-top villainy of the feud and also for when Big Show kipped up.

Anyway, Bossman was a good, entertaining big man. If you like big boys who are surprisingly agile, Bossman should be up your street. Personally though, I'll always mostly love him for being involved in a match on WCW Saturday Night against Mr JL (I think) where he went to attack him with a weapon and picked up a bike, giving us Dusty excitedly shouting one of the most memorable lines in commentary, "HE'S GOT A BICYCLE"

During Attitude Era WWE, his spot in the Coropration was "Heel that absolutely nobody will cheer". His matches with Hogan from the 80's are real good. He also had a fun run in AJPW before signing with WCW.

I hated him when I was a kid in the late 90s/early 2000s so he definitely did his job that way since I liked 95% of the roster, face or heel. He was a surprisingly quick and athletic worker for a guy his size, especially when he was heavier in the 80s/early 90s, and he was great at portraying himself as a threat. 2:20 in this video to see him move around a little, although the whole match is pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fApSzZLQ7KI

Bossman was pretty good, but he was amazing as a heel in the Attitude era. He was what all other wrestling heels should aspire to be. He brought being an rear end in a top hat heel to heights not seen before or since.

The most recent Ice Ribbon show had a triple threat main event with a first to two falls stipulation where it was basically a series of singles matches and if someone got pinned, she got replaced by the third woman in the match. It worked really well. Has anyone ever done that before?

Bossman's slide under the ropes/throat thrust spot is so fast and smooth and you don't really think of it as an awesome spot until you think of how big he is. Dude could seriously move for his size. I even like his white boy kung fu stuff, especially when he broke it out against Flair in the '92 Rumble. Had pretty good matches with Hogan even, during his period of total dominance.

Boss Man vs Road Dogg at the 99 Rumble is a decent brawl. I love the way Boss Man catches people in the Sidewalk Slam. Anybody remember that weird run he had teaming with Booker T in 2002?

Bossman (in the attitude era) was the perfect midcard enforcer for a big heel faction like the Corporation and I hated him in the exact way you want a 9 year old to hate a wrestling bad guy

i wonder if he signed the receipt like, "this receipt is proof you aren't poor and you lied to me and i'm calling you out" but probably not.

It is canon that the entire time Bam Bam was signing, he was scouting his surroundings and ready to do a forward roll in case any trouble kicked off.

My uncle was working at an arena, cleaning up after a show when he was dwarfed by a massive shadow. He turned around and there was Andre the Giant. "Have a beer with me, Friend." "Well, I'm work-"  "Have a beer with me, Friend."- My uncle had beers with Andre the Giant. Writer Cath fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Feb 17, 2019 |

Bam Bam posted:I was coming home from Japan on an ECW trip. It was about 3:30 a.m. and I was turning onto my block and I realized there was a fire. I heard kids crying and I went through the door and the whole upstairs was on fire. I had to run through a wall in the house. I ran through a built wall ... two-by-fours and everything, so I could get to the back way to get up the stairs. I landed right in a ball of fire. It was the best move I made. When I finally made it upstairs, I grabbed the three kids and came back through the same fire and now I was on fire. By the time I came down, the front stairs were down, so we would have died if we went that way. The mom had been out drinking and left the kids alone. She was a single mother. The kids were five, eight, and nine. They started a fire somehow. I did what anybody would have tried to do. I burned 40 percent of my body with second-degree burns and spent almost two months in the hospital.
