After a few years, Traylor returned to WCW and underwent a series of name changes, as listed above, due to the WWF's legal team claiming his gimmick was too similar to the Big Boss Man gimmick. He finally settled on Big Bubba once again, meanwhile having rivalries with the likes of Wrestling/{{Sting}} and Wrestling/{{Vader}}, and even feuding with the [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder nWo]]. Traylor did return to the WWF for some time in the late 1990s, but this time, for the more mature AttitudeEra, he modified his Big Boss Man character into more of a bodyguard-like personality complete with a S.W.A.T. team-inspired outfit, and served with [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince [=McMahon=]]]'s [[Wrestling/TheCorporation Corporation]] during this run. During this time, he also had a title feud with Wrestling/TheBigShow, and another feud with Al Snow, both of which [[Website/{{WrestleCrap}} fans would rather forget]].

* WrestleCrap: Three inductions.
** His mockery of Wrestling/TheBigShow's father dying, which was in such bad taste it just wound up becoming {{Narm}} at best.
** "The Sad Saga Of Pepper," Boss Man's murder of Al Snow's dog, leading up to the Kennel From Hell match.
** His stint as the Guardian Angel in Wrestling/{{WCW}}.

* WrestlingDoesntPay: One of the more successful examples of this trope - a prison guard might seem a bit hokey on paper, but Traylor was just big and imposing enough to back it up.
** Not to mention the fact that he really ''did'' work as a prison guard [[RealLifeWritesThePlot prior to becoming a wrestler]].

As the Big Boss Man, his WWF run is his most famous, where he continued his reign of terror as a monster heel, and he even formed a tag team with a fellow super heavyweight, Akeem (formerly the One Man Gang) called the Twin Towers. After being a top heel for a couple years, challenging the likes of Wrestling/HulkHogan and Wrestling/RandySavage, the Big Boss Man turned on his manager on an episode of ''Superstars'' and had a very successful run as a {{Face}}, while displaying some of the best in-ring work of his career.

He debuted in [=WCW=] going by Raymond Traylor, and soon after became the monster {{Heel}} Big Bubba Rogers, feuding with Dusty Rhodes. However, his run only lasted a couple years before he made the jump to the [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} WWF]], and based a new character off his original job as a prison guard in Cobb County, Georgia, and adopted Slick as his manager.
