The Big Boss Man Announced As Next Inductee into WWE Hall of Fame

The news just broke via CBSSports and WWE.com that The Big Boss Man will be the next inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016.

The Big Boss Man, who’s real name was Raymond W. Traylor, Jr, will be inducted alongside The Fabulous Freebirds, The Godfather, and Sting the night before Wrestlemania 32 in Dallas in just a few short weeks.

WWE made the announcement earlier today and will be making a public announcement at some point during tonight’s edition of Monday Night Raw. WWE.com made the following statement with the announcement:

“The WWE Hall of Fame now finally has its law and order. As it was first reported by CBSsports.com, the newest inductee to the WWE Hall of Fame is The Big Boss Man.

Boss Man, a former Cobb County, Ga., corrections officer turned sports-entertainer decked out in full police uniform, first debuted in WWE in the late ‘80s. Managed by the legendary Slick, the ruthless Boss Man gained notoriety for not only defeating his opponents with ease, but also handcuffing them to the ropes and then bashing them with his patented nightstick. Though he had no trouble muscling opponents around, Boss Man was also deceptively quick and agile for a performer who weighed over 300 pounds, often being heralded as one of WWE’s best, and most unique, athletes. He had memorable encounters with the likes WWE Hall of Famers Randy Savage, Koko B. Ware and Shawn Michaels, and he also joined forces with another monstrous Superstar, Akeem, to form the titanic tag team known as The Twin Towers.

Although the Boss Man passed away in 2004, the memories he created for the WWE Universe will surely live on forever. Because of that, he will be rightfully celebrated as the newest member of the hallowed WWE Hall of Fame on April 2, the night before WrestleMania 32!”
