Has The Boogeyman stepped his game up recently?

[Anybody Thrilla]

I used to hate The Boogeyman in the ring, but for the last couple weeks, he's been totally tolerable. He seems to be putting in a lot more effort than ever before, and he seems to be more comfortable with his character as well. Maybe it's just me. What do you think?

[Destor]

Nah, next to Nitro anyone will look good.

[Anybody Thrilla]

He's at least added some more moves to his arsenal.

[IC Champion]

He's better then any Indy guy wearing a mask that's for sure.

[Destor]

= 2 / >

Honestly, I can get why you'd call some indie guys green, but no one is greener than Marty Wright. No one. I could get in the ring and have more talent than him.

I do see where this talk of improvement is coming from, though. I've actually found myself somewhat getting into the character again. I wish they'd explain why he changed his face paint, as it could provide a deeper character for him to play. The whole "he's crazy and eat worms" thing is pretty shallow, but I like the idea of him actually being a former actor who believes in voodoo magic, and studies ceremonies to help him defeat wrestlers. His more recent scarier face paint could be created by him especially for his battles with Big Daddy V, for example.

The Boogeyman is all gimmick, but I wouldn't mind it if they took a more realistic approach to the silliness. Have Armando Estrada charge Joey Styles, or even Timmy Baltimore, with studying up on The Boogeyman, and providing some documentary evidence as to who he is, and what he stands for. Have some features put up on WWE.com, and even have a few segments air of Styles/Baltimore's findings. Just give us a day in the life of The Boogeyman, and let us see how he lives a human existence, as well as his one of seemingly paranormal abilities.

IC's indy wrestler in a mask comment was a crack at Destor, for the record.

[BigDaddyCool]

Boogen is the greatest of all time, and now that he can wrestle, it is only a matter of time before he unites all the titles.

Someone fucking got it, some people around here are so serious, and have such hard ons for the Indy wrestlers.

Oh and for the record, I don't like Boogey, but yet he's probably still better then half the no name Indy guys anyways.

Fixed.

[Russenmafia]

Boogen's new face paint is freaky as fuck.

Gonna start posting this pic in any thread where some independant wrestling fanboy gets all uppity as proof that indy (even the word indy) wrestling, is in fact, gay.

[IC Champion]

LOL @ ROH Pure Title.

[Mr. Pierre]

I don't understand all the hate on indy wrestling.

Don't show the back cover and some might confuse that with a gay porn...

It looks like they are naked.

Because it is mostly jackass flipping and flopping around not actually wrestling and not actually telling a story in the ring. It is mostly just 20+ minutes of doing every move under the sun then arbitrarily picking one spot to say that finished the match as opposed to 5 preceding spots witch under normal circumstance would have ended a match.

As far as ROH is concerned, the only matches that don't tell any stories whatsoever are the 4 or 6 man matches that are thrown together. And to classify most of their wrestlers as a bunch of flipping jackasses isn't really fair, since I could probably count all the aerial wrestlers that they have on a regular basis on one hand.

[Jordan]

Indy wrestling is indy wrestling because its not as good as mainstream wrestling. Duh.

[Xero]

That's probably the best way to put it.

For MOST wrestlers, they're in the indies because they don't have mainstream appeal, in either look, wrestling style, ability, etc.

There are, of course, those stuck up shits who do the indies because "VINCE MCMAHON IZ KILLIN RESLIN" (FYI: I'm not saying they're wrong - to a degree) and a few that either haven't been "discovered" or are ignored, but the vast majority just don't have the appeal.

The fact that it was a joke and a shot at Destor aside, STILL :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: at your seriousness. over the top, much?

Well, we do agree on something, that means you get an ice cream samich.

I'd imagine the number of phenonomenal indy wrestlers to be comething like 1% of the overall population. Arbitrary number with some wiggle room, but incredibly low, either way.

Most won't get discovered. That's fine, because most indy wrestlers would get watered down anyway. It's great commercially for them, but means little to us. Really, it's mostly moot.

On the other hand, look is overrated. Just wanted to point that one out.

[IC Champion]

Look may be overrated, I agree with you there, but it's also a big part of moving to that next level.

[Kane Knight]

It is these days, but it was never as important historically. That's why so many of these guys seem so generic these days. IT's kinda devalued "the look"

People are also less creative these days aswell.

[Kane Knight]

I'm not so sure about that one. I mean, for decades, people had the same gimmick for years, which were rehashed. Guys had limited movesets and nobody gave a shit about workrate.

[IC Champion]

Let me rephrase that, the top guys seem to be less creative than they used to be.
