10 pro wrestlers who failed to live up to their hype

#8 The Boogeyman

The former Tough Enough contestant survived the brutal first cut of that reality competition, but was dismissed because he lied about his age.

Tough Enough was meant for people under the age of thirty, but Boogeyman was actually forty years old. Despite being cut, he was sent to developmental territory OVW to hone his skills and develop his character.

Boogeyman had a great, visually stunning gimmick. Everything from smashing a clock over his head--as in he is a waking nightmare--to eating live worms and allowing the disgusting morass of their internal organs to wash over his impeccably chiselled chest, was a shock to the system.

However, sooner or later he actually had to wrestle, and he was less than impressive. He once busted JBL's lip so badly that he needed stitches, and would tear his own bicep during a clothesline spot.

Boogeyman never won any titles, but made enough of an impact that he was signed to a Legends contract.

Why he was never a bigger star: Boogeyman had a great gimmick, but his limited wrestling ability and the fact he got into the business very late probably hindered his career.
