https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI6aBIrXDgo The arrival of the Boogeyman in 2005 was met with groans from fans who found the premise of the character to be absurd. It was straight out of the early-1990s circus that led to the years-long downfall of Vince McMahon's company. And to an extent, it was painfully out of place with the more serious nature of the show. But that does not mean the character was not effective. Kids gravitated to him, because he looked like something out of a monster movie or comic book. Say what you will about the man's in-ring ability but he did deliver some truly memorable moments, including one that still resonates with anyone who has ever seen it. During a rivalry with John Bradshaw Layfield, Boogeyman began targeting his personal assistant Jillian Hall, who just happened to have a rather large growth on the side of her face. On a memorable episode of SmackDown, Boogeyman appeared, grabbed hold of Jillian, and proceeded to bite the mole off of her face. That was not enough, though, No, Boogeyman had to take it a step further by EATING it. It was a stomach-churning moment that remains one of the most memorable moments of the character's brief-yet-noteworthy existence.
