This dude looked like some kind of hybrid of Star wars Darth Maul and Freddy Kreuger. Freddy's personality and Darth Maul's looks. He looked totally different than the pic that was posted on Wrestle crap. No horns or shit like that :y: :yes:

Thought it was an interesting promo. The guy has good charisma but the character is just weird. The whole idea of bringing him in as a failed tv show is just weird, different but weird.

:y: Same here!
I knew the WWE would update the gimmick myself. OVW is simply just a testing league for the WWE, WWE always add a bit of class and shine to their gimmick wrestlers before they make their TV Debut. :cool:
Ive always loved out their characters - Original Kane, Mordecai, First Taker.. just something about original, fresh, characters that i love.
I was the same with Hassan and lately Ken Kennedy. :love:
Im looking forward to finally seeing The BoogeyMan. Sure the names a bit meh. But so's The Undertaker, The Rock, Triple H when you think about it.
Its only because we are used to those kind of names that we accept them.. so The BoogeyMan name might take a while but YOU WILL get used to it believe me. ;)

Yea, that segment was the man. And so if the Boogeyman so far. I love how he goes back and forth between soft spoken and screaming.

I thought the promo was hilarious! And when it 'seemed' like he was getting 'serious' then he hits himself on the head with the clock. I predict his first match will be against Matt Hardy next week. I'd like to see his match against Kennedy though. That would be interesting. :lol:
Oh, almost forgot!

However it is definitely interesting and I like his phrase of "I'm the Boogeyman. I'm coming to get ya". I don't watch Smackdown since I work Friday nights but I'm gonna keep an eye on what they do with him.

Well i have to say i pretty much liked it! :lol: :shifty:
I dont know why but as you know i love the far out gimmicks it just freshens the roster up if its done right.
He didn't quite look like wrestlecrap material i thought he had potential.
Maybe this is going to be how he changes in time because he has "potential" his look might develop over the next month or two, and he will probably get more and more matches.
Im interested in this character, his promo showed some good promo skills considering he's hardly got any experience on tv.
He has potential for a 40 year old! :lol:
Umm can he wrestle? :shifty:

He certainly plays the character well, but the question has to be asked, does the character have a point? I personally think this could be good, and I loved the way that Theodore Long and Palmer Canon didn't try to play him up as completely frightening as if he really was "The Boogeyman", but instead they were seemingly in awe of his intensity.
I think The Boogeyman needs to play some kind of psychologist type of character. I know it sounds really stupid, but I think they have potential to have him hypnotise people and use them to his advantage. I can very easily see him facing Nunzio this week, but before he gets in the ring, Vito attacks Nunzio and hits him with all his signature moves, and then in come Boogeyman, BAM! Clock over the head of Vito, Boogeyman covers Nunzio, 1-2-3.
If they try and turn him into some kind of evil voodoo priest, this might fall short, but if they try and add depth to his mentality, and come up with good reasoning for the "Boogeyman" identity, I think he could make a solid mid-card act as the very least.

Point #1) This point doesn't really count, but you can't be too intense/creepy when your promo is a giant lispy slur. The clock to the face was fun, but other than that, he tried too hard and he ripped of Krueger BIG TIME and that actually pissed me off.
Point #2) The only really "smart" way to use this character, at least for his first year, is to have him basically being Canon's muscle bitch. By that, I mean he basically owes his job on SD to Canon. So when Canon says "Jump", BG says "How high?" It'll basically turn into another corporate thing, where a face makes a snide remark about Canon being a dick and walking on Teddy Lizzle's authority, so Canon says, "Boogey...go get him." And we have a fued. It could eventually split SD completely down the middle; heels hatin' on Teddy side with "The Network" and faces that hate Canon's abuse of power and general dickery would side with Teddy and/or SmackDown. I highly doubt any of this will come to be, but it shows the potential greatness factor of a spastic character under the influence of a heel boss.

Or they can put him over as someone criminally insane.
Teddy's reaction was priceless though. :lol:

ME: Dad, it's not rubbish. It's great.
DAD: It's for kids.
ME: No it's not. Everyone on it is adult and cool and....
TV: I'M THE BOOGEYMAN AND I'M GOING TO GET YOU!!!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
ME: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...

10-15-2005, 07:07 AM
I thought it was hilarious. First off, the part with the clock, it wasn't even 2:45, and if he really wanted to be scary, he would have screamed at the camera. That would have made me jump

Has anyone actualy seen this guy in the ring.Hes terrible.Especialy when he walks around the ring spelling out his damn name.B-O-O-G-E-Y-M-A-N you can imagine how long that takes.Just another matt morgan to me.
I don't know... This is one of those gimmicks where it has the potential to be SO bad, that it goes around the meter back to good again.
Please tell me he didn't get his teeth pulled for this gimmick...

This gimmick is gonna be more for the little kids. He's a gimmick that's scary, but also makes kids very curious to where they will watch what he does. The younger crowd should eat it up.

The boogeyman lives under your bed, not in hell. :roll:
I just watched the video on wwe.com. I don't know what it is but I'm interested in what he's going to do. It's something different, something unique. I guess we will just have to wait and see where this goes.

Yeah, he just vacations in hell. He has a timeshare with Kane.

My first impression of Boogeyman is that he reminded me of a kindergarden kid trying to be tough with no front teeth. Or a hockey player. Same thing.
My second impression is that he needs Paul Bearer.

Did you not pay attention during his little debut rant? He's not a real monster, dude. He's a guy playing a character from a different tv show -- a show so bad it got cancelled before it aired. That's the gimmick. He's a guy playing a guy playing a character. If it was meant to be real, they may have taken it seriously. But it's meant to give the impression, "Does this guy know he's not really a Boogeyman?" See, he's so "into his character", he actually "became" the part, and like some kinda psychotic Daniel Day-Lewis, he refuses to break character.
Bottom Line: His gimmick is designed to be stupid so that he looks crazy by taking it seriously and/or thinking it's real. Like an unhealthy form of The Hurricane, I guess. So, take a relaxative and just watch the damn show.
