Going Ringside Ep. 112: The Boogeyman

One of the scariest characters in pro wrestling history joins the show

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – There are few wrestlers who legitimately terrify children.

At the top of that mountain is “The Boogeyman.” -- real name Marty Wright.

He became famous as the face-painted nightmare who actually eats worms in the wrestling ring.

He’s the latest guest on Going Ringside, and he’ll describe how the idea for The Boogeyman became a thing and the backstory of the worms.

It’s a must-watch interview.

Following that, we’ll be joined by R.J. Roman, who has made a name for himself on the show “American Ninja Warrior.”

He’s originally from Jacksonville and is now training at Hatchet Pro Wrestling in St. Augustine.
