The Boogeyman became known for munching worms and terrifying a whole new generation of kids who'd missed The Undertaker's early years or Papa Shango making The Ultimate Warrior spew green goo. Beneath the paints, 40 year old Marty Wright was lying to WWE about his age.

Wright informed Tough Enough's producers back in 2004 that he was actually 30, which...wasn't the truth. This led to a super-awkward moment when WWE learned that their impressive prospective new hire was 10 years older than he'd claimed to be; of course, these “reality” shows are a work, but Boogey himself has since said in interviews that this bit of Tough Enough was pretty much a shoot.

He got called out for trying to deceive WWE chiefs, and they weren't exactly happy about it. Watching Wright try to wriggle his way out of going to his car for ID is still painful today. The poor guy definitely thought he was f*cked after that.
