The Boogeyman

The Boogeyman is pure proof that wrestling is theater first. Martin Wright didn't break in until his forties, getting cut from Tough Enough for his age before reinventing himself into one of the most genuinely unsettling characters WWE ever ran. The clock-smashing, worm-eating entrance was ridiculous and unforgettable in equal measure, and I mean that as the highest compliment. He committed so fully to the gimmick that it worked despite logic telling you it shouldn't. He's on a WWE legends contract now, which feels right. Starting that late and still carving out a memorable niche takes a kind of fearless conviction I respect.
