#1 The Boogeyman

The Boogeyman was a wrestler who worked for WWE in the 2000s

The Boogeyman spent around a year in WWE's developmental territory, before making his way to SmackDown in late 2005. The Boogeyman's entire persona was created to scare the fans and the wrestlers who faced him. His elaborate entrance featured an eerie atmosphere, and he would break an alarm clock on his head by bashing it with full force. He also used to eat worms, a sight that was enough to disgust and scare the bravest of fans.

The Boogeyman squashed fellow wrestler Simon Dean in his debut match. He soon feuded with JBL, a former WWE Champion, and defeated him in under two minutes at the 2006 Royal Rumble PPV. On the road to WrestleMania 22, The Boogeyman kicked off a feud with Booker T, and the storyline saw Sharmelle getting absolutely terrified by him. He scored a win over Booker T at WrestleMania. He also had a short stint in ECW, before being released in 2009. The Boogeyman never held a title during his WWE run.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
