He was too comical to be a heel.
If he could wrestle, that character would have been awesome

Classic Case of "Right Gimmick , Wrong Wrestler". He was also really old when he joined the WWE if I remember correctly. I don't know about that. Marty Wright MADE that gimmick work. Yes he was old, and yes he couldn't wrestle, but I don't believe for one second that you could put anyone in that gimmick and make it work.

Not anyone but there's someone out there who could've made it alot bigger then it was. It should have been more because it had everything Muta , Sting , Kane and The Undertaker....except for the talent behind it. People say It was too goofy to really get over but I disagree. Muta's spit mist into people's face that has gotten them pregnant but he's considered an all time great. Kane once electrocuted someone's testicle live on tv yet he's been a multiple time world champion and sting once held someone hostage with a Parrot.

The Boogeyman always did it. He has more in common with guys like the Missing Link or George the Animal Steele

I miss The Boogeyman. He was just hilarious to watch and he appeared to have fun with that role.

Pro wrestling these days is about 10% wrestling and 90% charisma. So I'd say he was decent.
