Well he is bad at working. Abysmally bad. I mean I like Khali matches and I can't even say I like Boogeyman matches.

But he is very good at the gimmick. It's more than just an entrance. His backstage segments were awesome for what they were-- he was never really put in any sort of program where he needed to do anything beyond "I'M COMIN, TO GETCHA!" but I don't really doubt he could. He definitely had a charisma to him that most wrestlers can't achieve.

I think in a different era or fed, or maybe if he was just a bit younger, he could've been something better with even the most basic amount of training. It's the type of gimmick where you literally can spend like 85% of the match selling or doing character work and have a passable match. He wouldn't even need to have great execution.

But Boogeyman couldn't even reach that low bar. He couldn't sell, and couldn't even do the most basic moves remotely passably. I do think this is something that could be taught to even the worst worker out there though-- I just think that with Boogeyman they probably made no earnest attempt to because he was so old coming in that it wasn't worth it.

Still. I like the guy lots either way, but I can't try to objectively claim he's great or anything. I'm just saying I do feel there was a lot of wasted potential there as a manager/personality or by giving him a bit of training (I feel his character is the type that if taught the right style to wrestle could have passable matches at later ages than your typical wrestlers), and that he did really well with what he was given.
