Wasn't the Bossman involved in a ridiculous "kennel" match with Al Snow? I remember the event was quite laughable at the time, with dogs circling the ring during the match. -- feitclub July 5, 2005 08:06 (UTC)
The height given here can not be correct. The Boss Man was smaller than his tag team partner Akeem, who is 6´6". The Boss Man was about 6´5". His weight ranged from 357 pounds in earlier years to 305 pounds at lightest.
Wasn't the Bossman a bodyguard for Jim Cornett for a time early in his career? I think he was called, "Mr. Hughes". 71.162.91.29 ( talk) 01:14, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
When wrestling in Japan under the "Big Bubba" moniker, his name was changed to "Big Boo-ba" (ビッグブーバー) because if his name were converted to the Japanese syllabary pronunciation of "Bubba", it would come out "Ba-Ba", which sounds too close to the name of All-Japan Pro Wrestling legend, Giant Baba.
A small tsu ッ called a sokuon indicates a geminate consonant, which is represented in rōmaji by doubling the following consonant. For example, bed is written in katakana as ベッド (beddo).
The sokuon is sometimes used in places which have no equivalent in native sounds. For example, double-h in place of ch is common in German names. Bach, for example, comes out as バッハ (Bahha); Mach is マッハ (Mahha). The doubling of the "h" in Bach and Mach (or the underlying small tsu) is probably the kana that best fits those German names.
Related sounds in various languages are hard to express in Japanese, so Khrushchev becomes フルシチョフ (Furushichofu). Ali Khamenei is アリー・ハーメネイー (Arī Hāmeneī). The Japanese Wikipedia has references to イツハク・パールマン (Itsuhaku Pāruman) and イツァーク・パールマン (Itsāku Pāruman), Itzhak Perlman.
So next time, know a little bit about the language before saying that something is "bullshit", k? Neoyamaneko 22:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
This article lists Chris Benoit as one of the wrestlers who "died young by steriod/drug related heart attacks". Yet I'm pretty certain Benoit died young by the rope with which he hanged himself. I think that Benoit should be removed from this list. -- Schmendrick 20:52, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Ya i agree, he should be removed KingRaven (>$.$)> ( talk) 03:11, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Big Boss Man (wrestler)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:06, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
