Oh no whatever will they do for a stupid gimmick now. *Realizes almost everything the WWE is stupid* When will they learn to stop firing the wrestlers and fire the writers.... sell the company to somebody who isn't a complete moron etc. :tired:
Wright had been out rehabbing leg injuries and was close to being ready to return to action when he was released. Management hadn't been happy with his commitment to return to action with the feeling being that he was doing the bare minimum to get back in shape. There were also issues with him not checking in with the doctors when he was supposed to. He was warned a few times and when he didn't change his behavior, he was let go.

The character of The Boogeyman was pretty good, it's just a shame that the person they hired to do the gimmick was a terrible wrestler.
True, the dude was an old bafoon, but IMO noone would have been able to do what he did with the character, he was cash! He had the moves, the wiggle, the crazy-ass dance shake thing, the smile, even the crazy hair with a decent (built) body. I think his wrestling ability actually had nothing to do with it, cuz really, all he was there for was to entertain, not to win. Imagine him holding a belt? That would ruin any credibility the belt has ever had, even if it was the womans or HARDCORE title. Let alone the person he'd have to win against....they'd have nothing left.
And plus, noone would have dared to eat worms for a living.
