Popular gimmicks in the WWE

4) The Boogeyman

‘A boogeyman is an amorphous imaginary being used by adults to frighten children into compliant behaviour’. Who would have thought this would make an epic gimmick? Smashing an oversized alarm clock over his own head before crawling out on all fours, The Boogeyman“terrorized” everyone. He appeared in unexpected places backstage (closets, vans, etc), reciting different nursery rhymes and holding up clocks before screaming his catchphrase ”I’m The Boogeyman and I’m comin’ to get’cha!” and laughing manically. Boogeyman did bizarre things like eating worms live on camera and spooking out superstars. His gimmick, though disgusting, was a hit.
