5 Top Superstars who never broke kayfabe on WWE TV

#3 The Big Boss Man

The Big Boss Man no sold the trunk of a car to stay in character.

Through a combination of killer timing and a unique combination of size, power, and speed, The Big Boss Man became an icon for WWE. He first thrived during the Hulkamania era as a monster heel and then an upper mid-card babyface. Later, after a middling run with WCW, he came back to play Mr. McMahon’s heel enforcer in the Corporation, and a memorable heel upper mid carder in general during the Attitude Era.

Through it all, Boss Man didn’t break character and passed away before it became en vogue for so many wrestlers to openly shoot about the business. In a moment that exemplified his career and his commitment, though Jim Cornette has shared a story about Boss Man from his younger days, working under the moniker Big Bubba Rogers.

The trunk door of a car was accidentally slammed down on his fingers after he was loading his bags. Knowing that there were fans presenting and watching, he no-sold the agony of his badly injured fingers to continue presenting a tough guy image in front of a crowd.
