10 WrestleMania Results That Made Absolutely No Sense
9. The Boogeyman Defeats Booker T & Sharmell - WrestleMania XXII
Any and all storylines involving The Boogeyman are best left in the distant past. I guess he was supposed to be a face character, but his first two storylines saw him basically stalking a foe and their female valet, doing so with a mouthful of worms. He couldn't wrestle a lick, didn't garner any sort of crowd acceptance outside of 'yuck, worms', and was generally an embarrassment in the history of this wonderful sport. Which makes it all the more preposterous that at WrestleMania XXII he defeated multi-time World Champion and Hall of Famer Booker T. The only vague rationale is a form of comic relief, some comeuppance for the villainous King Booker and Queen Sharmell. Well, not really, as the build to the match again saw Boogeyman stalk the two. Boogeyman wasn't a superstar on the rise, a young performer who would benefit from the rub of beating the veteran. Heck, Booker is only a few months older anyway. Boogeyman got the win in a mercifully short match and also kissed Sharmell with a mouth full of worms. Lovely.
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
