10 WWE Gimmicks Nobody Was Supposed To Take Seriously
6. The Boogeyman
The Boogeyman was a below average wrestler that only got a job with WWE because he was a wild man that was willing to do anything to get hired. That meant spitting worms into the face of his opponents. It's fair to say that none of his matches were good. It's actually a shame that he had a WrestleMania match with Booker T at WrestleMania 22, which was really just an excuse to have him spit worms into the face of Booker's wife Sharmell. It was actually a surprise that he spent five years being employed by WWE considering how limited he was. It was just about the act. Looking back, it's pretty crazy that he was a longer WWE employee than some people or that talented guys like AJ Styles or Samoa Joe never worked for WWE, yet he did. Was it really entertaining? Maybe the first few times we saw him. After that, hearing "I'm the Boogeyman and I'm coming to get you" meant that we should change the channel because we know what's going to happen.
