Looking Back at The Boogeyman's WWE Tenure

As Halloween creeps around the corner, it's the perfect time to reminisce about the darker, spookier side of professional wrestling. In the 2000s, amidst the high-flying acrobatics and intense drama, one character stood out as the embodiment of fear and horror: The Boogeyman. In this blog, we delve into the eerie world of The Boogeyman, exploring what made him one of the scariest wrestlers of the 2000s.

Debuting in WWE in 2005, The Boogeyman was not your typical wrestler. Portrayed by Martin Wright, he personified the stuff of childhood nightmares. The character's origins were shrouded in mystery, but he was introduced as a supernatural force lurking in the shadows of the wrestling world. Wearing tattered clothes, with face paint, a clock around his neck, and his signature staff, The Boogeyman was a chilling presence.

The Boogeyman's promos were a cacophony of cryptic messages and bizarre behaviors. He'd bite into live worms and recite menacing rhymes. His eerie antics and unsettling demeanor left both fans and fellow wrestlers on edge. The unknown nature of his character added to the sense of dread, as you never knew what terrifying spectacle he'd conjure next.

The Boogeyman's entrance was an event in itself. Emerging from a cloud of smoke, to the sound of eerie chimes, he would crawl to the ring, often leaving a trail of worms in his wake. His in-ring style was unconventional, to say the least. He incorporated biting, contorting, and other bizarre moves that were as disconcerting as they were entertaining.

The Boogeyman's feuds were often psychological battles as much as physical ones. His enemies were taunted and tormented by his unpredictable behavior. The sight of worms and the threat of being "wormed" added an element of horror to his rivalries, making them some of the most unique and memorable in wrestling history.

The Boogeyman may not have held championship gold or been a main-event staple, but his impact on WWE and the wrestling world cannot be denied. He embodied the essence of a wrestling spectacle, leaving an indelible mark on those who watched him perform. His fear-inducing presence brought a supernatural element to the 2000s wrestling landscape.

The Boogeyman remains a unique and haunting character in the annals of professional wrestling. In an era marked by high-energy action and larger-than-life personalities, he managed to stand out through sheer creepiness and unpredictability. His legacy is a testament to the power of embracing the unusual and taking the audience on a terrifying journey through the world of sports entertainment. This Halloween season, as you delve into horror movies and spooky stories, don't forget to pay homage to one of wrestling's most iconic monsters, The Boogeyman, the scariest wrestler of the 2000s.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent

The State of Professional Wrestling - 11-29-21

I have a lot of thoughts on the state of professional wrestling in 2021. I think it’s great that AEW is around now and that they’re presenting a great product. I think WWE has the potential not be really boring but I think the consensus is that most of the time it’s just a really boring show. I cannot tell you the last time I sat through a 3 hour Raw. Oh wait, yes I can. September, 9th, 2013 and that’s only because I was at the damn show. WWE has a problem with stagnation. The product continually feels the same and I think there’s an obvious reason for that. WWE is too scripted. I think there’s a noticeable difference in the presentation between WWE and AEW. AEW feels like a legitimate sports show and WWE feels like broadway theatre without the music. I don’t think it’s a problem with the talent. When you go top-down, guys like Roman Reigns, Big E, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy and Kevin Owens are all main event players.
