All of the Bossman bullshit

[Australian Pride 0]

But he didn't explicit say that all of them were?

"Maybe it's my hatred of Smarks speaking, but the "sympathy" pouring from the little fucks in the WWE folder rings competely contrived at best"

 

This implies that he is referring to everyone.

 

But he didn't explicitly say that all of them were?

No, he didn't. You win!

Two things.

 

1) Who in the world is Jack Doan?

 

2) All I said was how shocked I was, and that he was a favorite of mine when I was little, and his angles from the late 90's were fucking great (in a horrible way). When any wrestler dies I feel a part of me dies, because I grew up watching these people.

 

Don't worry, if someone like John Cena or Jindrak kicked the bucket, I wouldn't get so bent out of shape. I'd think it odd and say I'm sorry to hear it, but it would be anything like when Bossman and those guys expire.

 

That said, at least people notice me damnit.

 

If/when Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Undertaker, and guys lie that die, then you'll see me really get tore up. Just wait, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

[Guest Shoes Head]

Every fucking time a wrestler dies it's always "THERE IS A CHAMPIONSHIP BELT UP FOR HIM IN HEAVEN RIP *SNIFF* And the first person who points out how ridiculous it all is gets flamed.

 

It's as if everyone on TSM stars on Queer Eye, and you just spilled grape juice on their new Gucci sweater.

Guys I was reading the topic about the hurricanes in General Chat and it wasn't too hot so don't make the same mistake I did.

Whew, I almost did it myself!

Scotsman's commentary on the Big Bossman.

 

Sometimes I have a lot of trouble writing articles, for a multitude of reasons. One reason could simply be time, and the fact that I don't have enough of it to devote to an article. Another reason could just be procrastination or laziness, which can be a big factor when it comes to freelance writing. I might just not be motivated, and don't feel that I can get the best out of an article at that time and put it off. I may even just have writers block, and can't figure out how to get the vague ideas in my head onto paper, and instead have to put it off.

 

Never have I wanted to put off an article due to the emotion involved.

 

Let me just get this out here: I loved the Big Bossman. I could not give two shits about Ray Traylor the person, and I'm not going to try and sugar-coat any comments about him. Have you seen some of the shit people have been writing about him? You'll see it on internet websites; on messageboards....jackasses whose opinions don't even matter trying to talk good about him because he is dead. I think my favourite comment, and the standard generic comment is "Oh he was a great company man, and he always had a solid workrate." WHAT THE FUCK? Have you guys been WATCHING the same Big Bossman I have? He was a horrendous worker! He had an okay early couple of years, and given the right opponent(ie: Curt Hennig) he might even have a decent match, however on a whole he was AWFUL! Does no-one remember the last half-hour of RAW always being clogged up by Bossman and Albert, boring the hell out of the crowd? DOES NO-ONE REMEMBER THE TWIN TOWERS?? HIS FEUD WITH MICK FOLEY? Just because he died, does that mean people have to try and forget that kind of shit? JUST BECAUSE A MAN DIED DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO SPEAK GOOD OF HIM. It shows that you're weak- minded, and quite simply completely full of SHIT.

 

Now me? I loved the Big Bossman.

 

I'm not going to talk about his history, nor am I going to talk about where I fell in love with him or gained respect for him.......because really, why dwell on the past? This isn't the Bossmans biography nor is it his fucking wake..... this is Scotsmanality, where our main focus is to entertain and entertain I shall...

 

....by talking about Big Bossmans five greatest moments, all taken from my compilation tape.

 

Yes, I have a Big Bossman compilation tape. Not only that, but it is a whopping 53 minutes, 22 seconds long. ALMOST ONE HOUR OF HIGHLIGHTS from a twenty year career. If that isn't something to be proud of, I don't know what is. And so having watched the tape and shed a tear or two...it's time to pick out five of his greatest moments.....as I remember the Bigbossman the way he SHOULD be remembered:

 

[5] A conversation with Kurt Angle. Kurt Angle is an awesome entertainer, both in and out of the ring. His microphone skills and charisma are almost untouched, and when he goes on camera with anyone bar The Rock, he can usually come off as the star. Guys like Jericho, Austin, Triple H.....they can be the biggest stars in the world, but a backstage conversation with Kurt Angle can have them being laughed at by the fans in a second, as whatever the scenario Angle can usually turn things around with a quirky comment, or a mocking facial expression.

 

Then he met the Big Bossman.

 

Kurt: "Hey Bossman, you hate the Big Show, right?"

 

Bossman: (talking super incredibly fast) "Boy, not only do I hate him but I dug up his dead daddy, hooked him to the back of my car and drove off at a high rate of speed!"

 

Kurt: "................riiiiight."

 

The only man to make Kurt Angle speechless.

 

[4] Kennel in a Cell. Actually Kennel in a Cell was a fucking travesty, but the feud before it was great, highlighted by one of the best moments ever on Smackdown when Al Snow, desperate to get his dog Pepper back, reluctantly accepted Bossmans dinner invitation, and then getting to eat some "Pepper Steak".

 

God I miss him.

 

[3] The Big Show feud. There's so much I could talk about here. Crashing the funeral. Faking Big Shows fathers death. Getting Big Shows mother to admit he was a bastard. Entering the most DREADED World Title match in a long, long time. However the only thing that can even BEGIN to do this justice.....is the poem:

 

With the deepest regrets, and tears that are soaked

I'm sorry to hear that your dad finally croaked

He lived a full life on his own terms

Soon he'll be buried and eaten by worms

But if I could have a son as stupid as you

I'd have wished for cancer so I would die too

So be brave, and be strong, get your life on track

Cause the old bastard's DEAD and he ain't never comin' back!

 

[2] Taking out the nWo. This was one of my favourite parts of Bossmans career, and one of the only things that make me fondly remember Nitro. He had a history with the nWo, finally decided enough was enough and came out on Nitro to do a SHOOT~! Yes people, the Big Bossman was SHOOTING with us. He came out, and he told us all that he was RAY TRAYLOR, and he was sick of the nWo, and he was on a ONE MAN MISSION to take them down. It was a very emotional, compelling interview and you had to be very skeptical to not believe every word he said. Forget Sting. Forget Goldberg. If ANYONE was going to take down the New World Order, it was RAY TRAYLOR.

 

He then fought Scott Hall, got beat and showed up on WWF TV months later.

 

Such a great moment.

 

As for the #1 moment? Well it was hard. Was it his Wrestlemania match with Mr. Perfect, where he was motivated as all hell, and put on a classic? His compelling feud with Nailz, or his never-ending feud with that fucking fruit, the Mountie? His fantastic theme song?

 

No, Bossman did a feat greater than any of that, and something that many wrestlers out there would fail to do. Bossman did something that to this day that was admirable....that was tremendous....exciting....

 

HE DESTROYED THE HELL IN A CELL.

 

Hell in a Cell was an exciting gimmick match, having only seen two previous matches in it, with Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels and Undertaker vs Mick Foley. It's probably one of the ONLY gimmick matches that could increase PPV buys greatly, as people were usually guaranteed a great match. Even the mention of Hell in a Cell would send the fans in an uproar, just begging to spend money on this illustrious event...

 

And he destroyed it.

 

 

 

Bossman went out there, coming off one of the worst storyline feuds featuring two stables no-one was really cheering for, had one of THE worst matches at Wrestlemania(and this includes any match featuring George "The Animal" Steele), then to make things worse.....then was HUNG. HUNG. HE WAS HUNG. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT? HE WAS MOTHERFUCKING HUNG.

 

HE WAS HUNG.

 

"Cause the old bastard's DEAD and he ain't never comin' back!"

 

Scotsmanality salutes you Bossman. Scotsmanality salutes you.

EDIT: forget I said anything.

Your tapes suck.

[AndrewTS 0]

It all boils down to--Boss Man was perhaps the funniest motherfucker on the roster in 1999 or so. Most of us wouldn't even think about him otherwise.

[JJMc 0]

Edit: don't care.

[Art Sandusky 0]

Dude, look at them.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

Please, for the sake of your retinas, don't do it.

[Scroby 0]

Who is Scotman?

[JJMc 0]

EDIT.

[Guest Loss]

When people like Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Sting, Randy Savage, Steve Austin, Mick Foley, The Rock, Undertaker, Chris Benoit and Bret Hart start dying, it'll probably hit harder because these are the wrestlers most of us grew up with. I just hope there are no threads in HD making fun of those who mourn the loss.

I wonder if Big Show will get revenge and try to drive off with Bossman's Casket.

Thats the sounds of the 15's while they hittin in my trunk.

[Guest]

That was kinda funny.

[Vern Gagne 0]

No mention of Eddie Guerrero so it's ok to make of people, who became over emotional about his death.

[Guest]

Carnival said something funny, I don't care about the rest.

[Carnival 0]

Quite the milestone for me. One I will probably never reach again.

 

I actually didn't think anyone would get it.

Hey, I remember this now.

 

Edit: Good times, goddamnit. Good times.

This may be the most pathetic thing I've ever read. A person who's planning on becoming overly emotional when someone he's never had any kind of interaction with dies.

 

On that note, I'll see y'all in a couple days. Again.

[Guest Fishyswa]

I can't understand why you would care enough about how other people post to start threads talking about how "annoying" "those posts" are.

 

Is reading such a large investment of time for some of you that anything not up to your standards demands immediate bitching and complaining?

 

It takes less than a minute to read a Downhome post, it should take even less to forget you just did.

[Slayer 0]

Go away

[Guest]

Fishy, why do you feel the need to comment on Sandman's post? You just did exactly the same thing that you also said was stupid.

 

Go crawl in a hole.

[Guest Leelee]

I miss Ray Traylor more than Eddy Guerrero.

 

Ban me.

 

But, before that, someone please find his rant to Kurt Angle. Thanks.
