"Ray "Big Bossman" Traylor passed away suddenly at his home tonight. Traylor, who was 42, got his start as Jim Cornette's bodyguard Big Bubba Rogers in 1986 after he left his job as a prison guard in Marietta, GA.
After leaving Crockett promotions over pay, his real life job became is gimmick as the Big Bossman, the evil prison guard, who had a big run with Hulk Hogan.
He was also a major star with All Japan Pro Wrestling as Big Bubba in the 90s, before returning to the WWF in recent years.
At this point his death is a mystery. He had not been complaining of feeling bad, other than a bad knee. His wife found him in a room tonight and he wasn't breathing. Paramedica were unable to revive him."
So sad :0(

The word legend is already way over-used in wrestling. Without applying it to any guy who happens to kick the bucket. He was a solid star, a good worker, but a long way short of a legend in my opinion.
Still, damn shame. His funeral if today, I think.

hehe, no dude, that doesn't happen :)
muscle will lose size and definition, but it won't turn to fat, fat goes OVER muscles, which is why you'll look more cut-up if you do loads of cardio work and lose the fat.
he wasn't retired anyways, he was still making appearances.
