Boogeyman uses....something...to knock Booker T off his feet
Boogeyman uses....something...to knock Booker T off his feet

If ever there were a wrestler who had a great look and gimmick that was utterly wasted on a completely talentless performer, it was The Boogeyman.

On the surface, his story might garner sympathy: Boogeyman was an out of work bodybuilder in his early 40s who lied about his age to get on the WWE's Tough Enough competition. He has kicked off the show for his false claims, but WWE gave him a contract anyway.

They were hoping to build another Undertaker-type character, but Boogeyman was simply terrible in the ring. WWE was hoping the experienced and athletic Booker T would be able to carry Boogeyman to a good match; they were wrong. Sharmell being forced to eat worms is probably the highlight of the match, which involves Booker T pretending to be scared of Boogeyman. And as for Boogeyman himself, he seemed to lose all sense of what he was doing, and just kind of ran into Booker T over and over again. He even messed up the match finish, leaving the announce team struggling to cover for him.

There you have it; Five great Wrestlemania matches and five that were not so great. What is your favorite Wrestlemania match of all time? Please comment and let us know, and as always, thanks for reading!
