The Boogeyman Calls Booker T Once A Month To Thank Him For WWE WrestleMania Moment

19 years on, The Boogeyman is still calling Booker T once a month to thank him for his WrestleMania moment at WWE WrestleMania 22.

The Boogeyman faced Booker T and Sharmell in a Handicap Match at 2006's WrestleMania and the worm-loving man won the match in three minutes, pinning Booker T after Sharmell ran away following a worm-filled kiss from Boogeyman.

Reflecting on the match in a WWE retrospective, Booker T revealed Boogeyman worked the match with a torn pec and the five-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion considers putting over Boogeyman to be one of the proudest moments of his career.

"The Boogeyman got into this business at 40 years old, created that character, and took that character all the way to WrestleMania. I knew it was my chance to actually give the Boogeyman this ultimate moment being at WrestleMania. On this night, he was injured. No one knew it, but him and I. He had a torn pectoral muscle, and he couldn't do anything, and he was so nervous about going out and doing this match. I said, 'Don't worry about anything. Man, whatever work you can't do, I'll do the work for you,'" Booker T stated.

"Just like Jeff Jarrett said, one of his, if not the proudest moment, was putting the [WCW] World Title on me. This was one of my proudest moments. I think that's what this business was built on. Being selfish, but being selfless at the same time. I can count on both hands and toes all of the real friends I got in this business. Marty Wright, the Boogeyman, truly one of my friends, and he calls me on a monthly basis to thank me for the WrestleMania moment we had."

WWE will host the latest WrestleMania - WrestleMania 41 - on Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20 from Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium.
