In the Name of TBS: Comparing Braves’ players to WCW Wrestlers
By Seth Carter
Brian McCann is Ray Traylor (formerly the Big Boss Man)
Outside of the fact that Brian McCann looks like the Big Boss Man, there are a lot of similarities. Ray Traylor brought an intensity level that can only be matched by Brian McCann’s intensity.
If Ray Traylor and Brian McCann were to get into a staring contest, lightning would probably strike the ground next to them and plates of mashed potatoes and gravy would fall from the sky.
Brian McCann is from Athens, GA and played 2019 in Cobb County, GA.
Ray Traylor is from Marietta, GA and was billed from Cobb County, GA.
Ray Traylor left WWE (WWF at the time) and found himself in WCW in 1993.
In WCW he had a brief run with the notorious group of cool-bad guys, the NWO. The NWO was a group of rebels, unafraid of doing whatever it took to win, including cheating.
Brian McCann left the Braves to play for the villainous group of bad guys with the New York Yankees. Eventually, McCann found himself in Houston, where they also cheated to win.
The Big Boss Man weighed 330 pounds and always protected his plate.
You are not allowed to touch Brian McCann’s plate…Carlos Gomez.
Ray Traylor’s contract with WCW expired in 1998 and he finally found himself back home in WWF, the place that made him a star.
Likewise, Brian McCann’s contract with the Astros expired in 2018 and he found himself back home in Atlanta, playing one final season for the Atlanta Braves.
Ray Traylor was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Brian McCann is likely to be the next inductee into the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame.
