The Boogeyman needs some work....

[respectmeordye3]

Okay, I'll admit that I'm not a big fan of the Boogeyman, In fact I hate him--but a lot of that I think is due to the sloppy handling of him by the WWE. I mean his feuds are incredibly pointless--why even bother having him do anything?

My main complaints are the following:

Pointless feuds: He starts a feud with someone(JBL, Booker T. etc.) for no reason at all--no purpose is given as to why exactly he attacks these people-what is his freakin' motivation? and Why specifically this person? the feuds just don't make any sense--I like to have a purpose for a feud to take place--but the Boogeyman never has one. Add to this that you know he's gonna win in a squash match where he doesn't get hurt hardly in the least.


Wrestling skill: He's not very intresting to watch--a handful of simple moves that he's not very good at doing as it is.
Also folks have bashed Lashley for his terrible mic skills-yet the Boogeyman has equally if not worse mic skills-all he ever says is "I'm coming to getcha" and not very good either.


Overexposure of his biggest gimmick: Without a doubt the biggest thing he has to draw folks in is the eating worms things. So wouldn't it make sense to use it just enough that it doesn't become old and annoying,hated by everyone so fast? Instead they do it every single time he seems to appear--wouldn't trying to conserve this gimmick so that people don't turn on it soon be a good idea? When you do something-especially a gimmick such as the worm-eating thing non-stop people are gonna begin to get sick and tired of seeing it--I know I allready am. This is the guy's calling card-don't let it wear out it's welcome so fast, conserve the use of it so that you can keep it for a longer period of time with people still liking it.

I agree with about half of what you're saying.Personally I like the Boogeyman(so far)I've only seen him wrestle one match with Orlando Jordan wich was too quick to rate him as a wrestler, but when given the opurtunity he is very good on the mic I think.
I've been an admirer of his since he lost out on "Tough Enough" for lying about his age.
True these fueds with JBL & Bookrt T are pointless.His gimmick has heel written all over it & I'd rather see him harrassing a babyface & coming across as scary.
Even lamer is now the WM match is a 2 on one handicap matching involving Sharmel.It's probably being done to cover the Boogeyman's lack of wrestling experience,he is pretty much a rookie when you get right down to it.
He is pretty Papa Shangoish in his gimmick & I'm sure by next year he'll start feuding with the Undertaker(that's inevitable)
The worm thing is overdone too you're right but I do believe the Boggeyman has alot of potential providing he can deliver in the ring.He does appear to be pretty over with the fans it seems to me anyways.

The boogeyman is a crap wrestler and his feuds are pointless. It's crap to see talented guys like JBL and Booker T being squashed by him.

But.... he's still very entertaining. His gimmick is so wrestlecrappy that I can't help liking it.
