This is the Old Spice guy, right? Didn't he already hold the 24/7 title? Yep, won it twice. Don't think they're the same guy in kayfabe though.

Is this gimmick infringement of Elias?

No lie, I can see this be the thing that takes Shinsuke to the stratosphere

Is this gimmick infringement of Elias? At a fundamental level of “They’re both guitarists”, sure, but they’re clearly different types of guitarists. It’d be like accusing Eddie Van Halen of ripping off Tom Petty (or two equivalent artists of today who aren’t deceased).

One of the smartest moves I think WWE has made in awhile. Dude's great with Shinsuke but with them going on the road soon, bringing up a guy with an intangible way of connecting to a crowd is something they'll definitely want to use.
Boogs isn't gonna set the world on fire in ring but he's entertaining enough where that might not matter.

this feels adjacent to a dancing gimmick

Nakamura and Boogs is a pairing I didn't know I needed until I got it and now I need more.

I love the shrill of Bugenhagen, which is reminiscent of Ned Flanders burying Maudes plant with his Schuman Head Of Lettuce

Is this gimmick infringement of Elias? Maybe a far better Man Mountain Rock, just as Aleister Black is a slightly modified Mordecai who could get pushed

I will never be able to hear his name and not hear "Boobs".

The best thing about his name? If he ever goes heel, he can pretend the fans are chanting "Booooooogs!" instead of booing him.

Pat McAfee made this work.
He took it from random guitar guy to big feel Boogs.
