Post by EoE: Well There's Your Problem on Nov 9, 2005 16:13:38 GMT -5
From powerwrestling.com
"Edge and Lita backstage with Edge leaving to go to talk to Batista and the Boogeyman pops up behind Lita scaring her to death. Boogeyman got a huge pop."
The Boogeyman is (contrary to my original opinions) actually over with the live crowd, probably because he did something at the expense of Lita, everyone's favourite North Carolinian whore.
Is it an Indianapolis thing or is the Boogeyman actually getting over?

I went, and Boogeymans pop was about as big as Funaki's which was substantial but not as in like they are a big superstar
The pop was more laughter than cheering, but like laughing and lita getting scared by the boogeyman, not just laughing at the gimmick like you would expect.

We live in a world where HHH can commit fellatio with a corpse, so....it is possible Mr. Boogeyman is getting over, methinks.

Dear god. The Boogeman is getting over. I like Lita, so I'm sticking with the Boogeyman is getting over thing.

I actually been liing the character, it's completely over the top. They need to keep it like that- breath of fresh air since every other Debutee's gimmick has been "I'm Arrogant and Pretty And Cool".

Good! Someone should be taking advantage of the obvious Lita-heat swirling around.
but... Boog as a face?!? Hm.
I think I'll like him if he's King of the Tweeners, spooking everyone on the midcard. And he needs to get more of that happening. More ooger-booger.

Don't you think this is rather a 'churlish' attitude? If a gimmick is stupid, but still gets over, what's wrong with that?
Surely, the mere existence of Boogy should be the thing that makes you quit watching WWE?

Hell, if Katie Vick didn't stop me, I doubt Boog ever will.

The thing i like about the boogeyman. Is the way he was introduced. For the grief the writers get and sure some of it is deserved...but they didn't insult our intelligence with the boogeyman.
They could have easily went the "let us entertain you" excuse and had boogeyman come in with this shroud of mystery and be like a shango type 80's gimmick...instead they used a rather cleaver, look this guy is a bit of a wackoo....we have him signed to a deal. See if you can find something for him to do backstage. Thanks.
It's been pretty enjoyable so far.

Did anyone else find it funny when Eric Bischoff called her a slut Monday on Raw?

I think the Boogeyman's awesome, and the reason is simple -- he's not supposed to be taken seriously. He's *supposed* to be laughed at. Like last week on SmackDown after Boogeyman scared the crap out of Bischoff, Tazz just laughed and said "That's our Boogeyman! Happy Halloween!" Plus the way Boogeyman was drooling/vomiting for like a minute straight was AWESOME!

I didn't like Lita for a long time, but with Edge as a heel, I actually do.
BoogeyMan is pretty funny and I like the character, but I've heard that he's total crap in the ring.
Shame.

That was really great. I've said it before, and I think I'll say it again. Boogeyman is 2005's Eugene. Everyone thought he would be Wrestlecrap, but he turned out pretty cool.
