The Boogeyman Recalls Working With Booker T: When You’re Having Fun, It’s Not Work

The Boogeyman looks back on working with Booker T, remarking that the segments were so fun to film they did not feel like work.

Boogeyman’s WWE character was one that was unique even for the promotion, with his diet of worms and creepy demeanor going a long way in selling the character not only as a scary one, but a comedy character also depending on the situation. Boogey would work with several of WWE’s top names during his run with the company in the mid to late 2000s and early 2010s, including Booker T.

While speaking to Going Ringside in a new interview, The Boogeyman would be asked about his favorite people to work with in WWE, noting that Booker T would be part of that list, explaining that with Booker, work did not feel like work due to the fun they had filming segments.

“Oh, I loved everything, just his animation. You know, he was so creative. In fact, when we would have segments, there was… A lot of people would have lines, but this gave us creative license to go in there and just go feel it, and each take would be something different because we would be laughing so much. It’s like work. When you’re having fun, it’s not work.”

The pair would meet at WrestleMania 22 in a handicap match, with Booker teaming with Queen Sharmell. You can read more about that here.

Elsewhere in the same interview, Boogey would speak about a nixed part of his WrestleMania 23 segment with Donald Trump. You can read more about that here.
