2006. The first runner-up was Charles [=Evans=], who would go on to hold titles in OVW, the WWC in Puerto Rico and Wrestling/ProWrestlingZERO1. Second runner up was ex-sumo wrestler turned pro wrestler/[=MMA=] fighter Wrestling/{{Akebono}}, who would hold titles in [=ZERO1=], Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling and Wrestling/DragonGate. Third runner up was Cody Runnels, better known as [=WWE=]'s Wrestling/CodyRhodes. And Boogeyman beat ''all'' of them.



* On a meta level, that such an outlandish gimmick, the kind WWE had not created in years, could get over when WWE was trying to make their product more "realistic." Considering that reality had intruded in ugly (the Wrestling/MattHardy-[[Wrestling/{{Lita}} Lita]]-[[Wrestling/{{Edge}} Edge]] debacle) and tragic (the death of Wrestling/EddieGuerrero) ways in 2005, along with his considerable charisma and humor, it may have been that fans just wanted to get lost in {{Kayfabe}} again. Wrestling/AlSnow compared the Boogeyman to Wrestling/TheUndertaker, in terms of his ability to take an unlikely gimmick and get it over.

* Wrestling/JillianHall is out to do her usual horrible singing when the Boogeyman's music hits. Michael Cole speaks for fans by announcing "I never thought I'd say this but thank goodness for the Boogeyman!"

* Battling Finlay in 2007, the Boogeyman is down as the ref is distracted and Wrestling/Hornswoggle (then called The Little Bastard) charges in to try and hit Boogeyman with a cane. Suddenly, from under the ring comes ''a mini-wrestler dressed exactly like the Boogeyman.'' The reaction on Hornswoggle's face was priceless as Boogeyman won the match and Michael Cole and JBL's commentary was terrific too. (JBL: "What just happened? Tell me this didn't just happen!")
