Thoughts on the Boogeyman/ Lashley

I must admit that I was wrong about the Boogeyman. I thought he was a terrible gimmick and would fail miserably but with smackdown being so bad lately, he might be arguably the best thing they've got right now. That is until they have him lose to the Undertaker in a casket match or something like that (ie: Papa Shango, Kamala). I feel differently about Lashley. I appreciate and respect the fact that he was a marine, but to me he's just a poor man's Ahmed Johnson. What do ya'll think?
