He did 5 moves? Maybe if the other 4 were 3 punches and a kick... Wait, I don't think he even did that much. Nah, he didn't do all that much, other than taking bumps and doing rolls while getting attacked by JBL, he also did some "Boogey Struts" on the floor during the barrage. And, I believe JBL lost to Lashley as well a couple of weeks ago too. At least he's willing to put people over.

I enjoy how some people have just now figured out the Boogeyman cant wrestle. Think about it, he was just trying out for Tough Enough a little over a year ago. Then it wasnt for 2 months after that he was brought into OVW. After he trained for a little bit he was set to be called up and got hurt on a house show and missed at least a month. So were talking about a total of MAYBE 8 months of training.
He's here because he has an awesome gimmick, awesome charisma and is obviously over. Hes here to beat people up and scare the shit out of them along the way. Hes not going to put on 5 star matches, thats not his purpose. Not everyone HAS to be an amazing in ring competitor.

I guess that is good, but what happened in the JBL/Lashley match really put JBL and Boogeyman over, since JBL had Lashley laid out with a clothesline from Hell, and then got counted out after getting spooked by Boogeyman.

That's true, but I think JBL will get even with Lashley sooner than later. As for the Boogeyman gimmick, it's great and I still enjoy it. It's quite obvious the guy is not going to work any 15-20 minute matches, and I doubt it matters as he's crazy over right now.

The worms are getting stale. They gotta give him a few more "zany" gross-out props and mix it up regularly with the worms and the smoke and the clock-smashing.
Still, I'd love to see Boogeyman and Taker playing mind games with each other.
Lock Taker in a casket full of worms.

To ACG-
Boogeyman = $1,000,000 entrance, $1.25 workrate.
His gimmick, entrance and total character is dynamite. I personally think the clock thing is really cool. The worms are eh, I don't really care if he eats a ham sandwich, live worms or buffalo (TATANK...er, wait) wings.
From what I've seen of the guy, he appears to be another product of the "push big guys" mindset of Vince. At least with JBL, the guy is freaking awesome on the mic, even many of his detractors agree that the guy can cut a promo.
Boogeyman will fade quickly once the "new car" feel of his gimmick wears off. I really hope it doesn't, I actually kind of dig the gimmick itself.

He shouldn't be in the ring then.

What? No new recipe for my favorite vegatable by my favorite WWE Superstar? I'm disapointed...Anyway, they must have alot of confidence in The Boogey Man to use one of Smackdown's main eventers JBL as a jobber. It will only really suck if Boogey Man is just pushed down to Snitsky status in the next month or two. JBL can recover and Boogey Man can benefit from this as well as JBL.

The Boogeyman match reminded me of the match Cena had with JBL at Wrestlemania.

The worms are getting stale. They look fresh enough to me.

This seems almost like an admission that JBL shouldn't have been on top in the first place, which is correct but still surprising. I am not a big JBL-fan(he is a solid midcarder but not main-event material) but after holding the belt so long you don't job a guy out like he is in the opening match on Impact. WWE is being shortsighted, especially when you consider the likelihood of Boogey's act getting stale.

Boogey doesn't exactly have all the time in the world to get over, I mean he IS forty. I suppose having him quickly beat a former champ is a simple way of getting him over a lot in a short period of time.
