Boogeyman's burial of Booker T and Queen Sharmell was the second squash in as many Big Four pay-per-views that years as the company did everything to get the inherently silly gimmick over beyond the punchline it patently always was.
No wonder Santino Marella earned a slapping from Jim Cornette p*ssing himself at the state of it all. At no point was the supposed monster received as such. It's to WWE's credit that they steered into the silliness even if it resulted in space on the the 'Show Of Shows' being donated to swathes of sh*t like this.
If you've seen one Boogeyman match, you've seen this. The heels run in fear of his wiggles and worms until they end up with those and them all over them. It's both literally and artistically gross, and then it's over. But not particularly in the wrestling sense.
