* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Jim Cornette asserts that Bossman decided to leave the WWF in 1993 because he was concerned about the steroid indictment pending against Wrestling/VinceMcmahon and the harm these allegations would do the Bossman gimmick if Vince ended up losing the case.

* FakingTheDead: In [=WrestleMania=] XV, it was when Wrestling/TheUndertaker attached the long harness cord/noose from around Boss Man's neck to the safety harness he was wearing underneath his suit, that Boss Man decided to play along with the "hanging" procedure. When Boss Man was lifted up by the harness, he made a good impression of playing the strangulation victim and giving everyone quite a scare. When the procedure was done, only the live audience could watch him get safely taken down onto a stretcher so that he could get to a hospital just fine with minor injuries.

* HangingAround: At the end of one of the main events in [=WrestleMania=] XV, Wrestling/TheUndertaker proceeded to hang him from the Hell in a Cell structure. Of course, this was mitigated as an illusion, because Big Boss Man had worn a safety bungee harness underneath his suit when he was attatched to a long harness cord that had accompanied the noose; and he had to be taken down off-camera so that he could get to a hospital on a stretcher. The next time he returned no worse for wear, he became known as [[TheManTheyCouldntHang The Man Taker Couldn't Hang]].
