Mini Complete and Accurate: Big Boss Man in Japan!
A wrestler whose career work keeps looking better and better the further we are removed from it, Big Boss Man spent 95% of his long career in the states, but every time he showed up in Japan he looked like an absolute legend. You see him in an All Japan ring, and the thought of him as the #1 or #2 gaijin seems not just possible, but probable! It seems crazy to think of him as on the same level as Hansen, and then you see the tape. This will cover any and all matches Ray Traylor had in Japan, and matches will be ranked as Skippable, Fun, Very Good, Great, and Epic.
