10 Gimmicks that never should've worked, but did

#9 The Boogeyman

The Boogeyman is comin' to getcha!

I'd like to meet the person who decided it would be a good idea to have a man spit a mouthful of live worms into another man's mouth. Actually, I take that back. I'm not at all interested.

The Boogeyman is a very dark, vile character, one who's sole purpose is to terrify you.

This notion was successful, as The Boogeyman scared kids and adults alike, all over the world. Everything from his entrance, the way he walked, talked, down to his actions inside the ring, it all came together perfectly to create the most disturbing persona ever known.

The Boogeyman didn't need championships in order to fulfil his purpose. All he needed, was fear and the elusive shock value, which he had an abundance of.
