The Boogeyman
 
So, he's been back for a couple of weeks. Are we actually going to see him wrestle a good match anytime soon or is he going to remain a sideshow stalking midcarders?

Mr. Nerfect 11-24-2006 08:04 PM

He's been working pretty well with The Miz. They seem to be getting him to work a lot more, so I'd say they're going to be evaluating him pretty closely.

I think a feud with Finlay would help identify whether or not The Boogeyman is worth the cash.

UmbrellaCorporation 11-24-2006 08:35 PM

I like the guy. I know he hasn't done much *cough anything cough* of interest aside from having that psuedo stalker thing with Booker, but I am still fond of him. I'm curious to see where he goes. :y:

Afterlife 11-25-2006 05:46 AM

He's crap. I solidly doubt his ability to do anything at all that involves entertainment value beyond the fourth grade level. He seems to basically refuse to wrestle, and he's got the same fear factor that the show 'Fear Factor' had, which is ultimately just being gross and stupid.

Kane Knight 11-25-2006 09:23 AM

Look at who the Champion is on Raw. Look at who's getting the biggest pushes on Raw...DX, Cena, Umaga, for example. Guys who beat "cock" jokes to death, a guy who's a cartoon superman who makes little more than gay and poopy jokes, and a boring lardass with some stereotypical over-the-top gimmick and a finisher only a child would believe.

I'm not convinced that WWE isn't trying for the fourth grade audience, but I'm sure convinced they're not trying for an adult audience.

Smackdown, traditionally, has actually been the more kiddie show, too.
It's amazing we don't have 15 boogeymen on the show. Actually, moving him over to Raw and having him feud with Umaga would be the best move I can name.

Kane Knight 11-25-2006 09:23 AM

...Short of, you know, firing him, which WWE won't likely do...

Testicle 11-25-2006 10:41 AM

I am bad at picking up sarcasam, but they already fired him and rehired him

Kane Knight 11-25-2006 10:56 AM

Which means SFA in the scheme of things. The fact that they'd rehire him like a week later really does indicate they're not about to let him go.

Testicle 11-25-2006 10:59 AM

good point

Rammsteinmad 11-25-2006 12:28 PM

I've never liked Boogeyman. Not even when he started out and people here were all "lol, this is great"... or "wow, his entrance is awesome". It never appealed to me. His stuff with William Regal... his stuff with Booker T... and now the Miz. It doesn't interest me one bit.

And considering this is only his third major feud, he's already as stale as the Undertaker.

D Mac 11-25-2006 01:12 PM

Seriously when The Miz clotheslined him a couple of times that's the only time I've seen him take any bumps.

Londoner 11-25-2006 01:16 PM

I've got two words for ya:

He sucks.

Testicle 11-25-2006 01:35 PM

the miz or boogeyman

owenbrown 11-25-2006 01:46 PM

WWE. It sucks. The End.

Londoner 11-25-2006 01:59 PM

Test4champ- Both of them, but i was talking about the boogeyman.

I thought he was kinda funny at first. Then he went to eating worms, and I saw him in ring, and I got bored REALLY fast.

That entrance was just fucking awful, anyway.

Testicle 11-25-2006 02:48 PM

Its pretty cool when he shatters the clock over his head

Kane Knight 11-25-2006 03:32 PM

It was pretty cool when he'd just appear random places. When he showed up when John Cena was randomly opening doors, that was pretty much "damn" before there was a "damn."

AdrianM 11-25-2006 08:13 PM

I'd rather they booked boogeyman differently than they book anyone else.

It shouldn't be traditional feud. The best part of the boogeyman is when he just surprises ppl...like when he redebuted 4 the 1st time against the miz.

Still I pop like a mother-fucker whenever he comes on still

Fox 11-25-2006 11:40 PM

Saw him last night and I actually really enjoyed his segment with Miz and the ref. The fact that he spewed worms on the ref and then chokeslammed him, when he was about to win, makes him a very interesting and scary character. He doesn't give a FUCK about wrestling. He just wants to hurt/scare/gross out people.

Boogeyman has a very distinct look and the dude really is fucking scary to look at. The problem is that he just hasn't had a good feud to work with.

I heard he was great in OVW under Heyman tho.

ChiefStubbs 11-26-2006 12:09 AM

Boogeyman is a very stereotypical character. All the people with red and black facepaint that eat worms are suing because not all their people smash clocks over their heads.

McLegend 11-26-2006 12:12 AM

Wait a mintue people actually want to see Boogeyman wrestle?

I am very disappointed with you Diesel Mac.

Youy can't have a good feud with one good wrestler. And since this jackass doesn't "give a FUCK about wrestling", I don't see him getting anywhere. The worms are gross, the walk is stupid, the entrance is way too extravegant for a character with no depth.

And as for OVW...come on, man. Anyone is great under Heyman.

^----He said 'give a fuck'. And as for Heidenreich...He was kinda doomed from the start. I did forget about Heyman working with him, but, to be fair, Heidenreich was billed as a maniac, and then used a shoulder breaker as a finisher. Just didn't make a ton of sense from the get-go.

Testicle 11-27-2006 12:04 AM

so boogeyman said he didn't give a fuck about wrestling, its just hard for me to believe someone would be this dumb

Uh...no. He's talking about the fact that the character is crazy. Not Marty Wright. The feeling one takes home from watching a Boogeyman 'segment' is that he's not there to wrestle; he's there to be a child.

Afterlife 11-27-2006 12:19 AM

Besides, the quote I posted showed that Fox said it, not Boogeyman. Pay attention.

Testicle 11-27-2006 12:20 AM

sorry:'(

Afterlife 11-27-2006 12:22 AM

No prob. :) Just keepin' you on your toes. :y:

Heidenreich wasn't actually being booked by Heyman at that point. He was a manager.

Also, the reason WWE fired Wright really could be boilded down to not giving a shit, so it might be true for the wrestler. However, as Fox was talking about the character, that's neither here nor there.

Testicle 11-27-2006 10:49 AM

My bad, I was not reading very carefully:(

Rammsteinmad 11-27-2006 11:16 AM

I don't care about the wrestler or the character. It's too fucking childish for pro wrestling. If I wanted to see a boogeyman I'd watch Goosebumps or whatever the fuck is on TV these days.

I didn't either. I actually said "boilded."

:rofl:

I'm dyslexic. Another similar one, too, though I can never remember the name.

The problem is, rassling's getting more childish anyway. It's not too childish for wrestling, it's too childish for you.

I find this funny, since in theory, Umaga has one of the few actual "realistic" finishers.

Unfortunately, effective and "looks good on TV" are two different things.

I can make someone tap out with an armbar. Literally. The two fights I've gotten into since I've been involved in Aiki Jujutsu have ended with me holding a guy on the ground in an armbar and him screaming.

Doesn't mean in wrestling, it's a useful move. Every jobber can pull it off.

Stickman 11-27-2006 03:48 PM

Boogeyman and wrestle in the same sentence?

Stickman 11-27-2006 03:49 PM

My vote for wrestling's worst nickname....Boogeyman.
