The Gathering 6 Update
July 30th - August 3rd
Hilton University Place
Charlotte North Carolina
On Friday night August 1st its our Annual Night to Remember Banquet.
Joining the 2025 Class is a man that really showed the wrestling world what a Big man can do in the ring. He was so quick and would come off the top rope like a lightweight.
He made his debut in 1985 in Jim Crockett Promotions the NWA. Dusty Rhodes saw the talent in the Big Man and quickly put him alongside Jim Cornette and The Midnight Express.
He would have feuds with Dusty Rhodes , Ronnie Garvin and others. In 1987 he would head to the UWF and on April 19th 1987 he would win the UWF World Heavyweight Title from the One Man Gang.
He would head to the WWE in 1988 and became a household name as The Big Bossman.
Major feuds with Hulk Hogan, Dusty Rhides, Ted Dibiase, The Heenan family , The Mountie and Nailz.
In 1993 he would return to what was now WCW as The Boss but also took on many other character changes like The Guardian Angel, Back to Big Bubba and using his real name Ray Traylor. He was apart of the Dungeon of Doom, The NWO but decided it was time to return back to the WWE as The Big Bossman in 1998.
He would go on to win the WWE Hardcore and Tag Team Titles and would have his Wrestlemania moment vs The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match..
Unfortunately on September 22nd 2004 Ray Traylor passed away.
He would take his rightful spot in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016.
Now its our turn as fans to Honor and thank Ray Traylor for all the memories he left us with.
Joining us and accepting this award will be his daughter Lacy Traylor.
