Anyone remember this? Happened for a bit during Booker's feud with Austin after Vengeance 2001?
Always sort of wondered what the point was and how that got started, or if they actually wrote Bossman out from that or if he just vanished. It just came to mind playing the Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies demo, on seeing a, "Like a boss," joke since it made me think of that Bossman shirt.

I heard a rumor that it was originally going to be Stevie Ray, but that they went with Bossman for whatever reason.
No idea how accurate it is.

he wasn't managing him, he was bodyguarding him.
He was basically playing a mercenary at the time

All I recall is that Bossman had been gone for much of 2001, if not all of it. Heck, I can't recall when he last appeared - maybe in 2000? - but it was well before the Invasion. So this was his return, now that the roster was thinned (on TV at least) when most of the WCW guys went away for a while (until the brand split).
And then Bossman disappeared in early 2002...

Didn't he go simply by 'Boss Man' and wrestled in a suit for a short while?

Was Boss Man employed in 2001? During the Invasion I mean.

I just remember how gross it was, his dress shirt drenched in sweat.

Yes, but he was either out injured that whole time or only some of it and simply not used until he started appearing with Booker T after the Invasion. He and a bunch of the mid/low carders who vanished in 2001 actually went to.....not OVW, but the other developmental group at the time (Heartland?) to train the talent there. Some of them left the company during that time (Steve Blackman, for example) and a scant few came back over the next year or 2. |

I would say his late 2001 return was one of those that made you say wait this guy is still with the company
