“Stay Strong”, “Get Well Soon”: Fans Send in Prayers as 58-Year-Old WWE Legend Undergoes Surgery

The WWE Universe has arguably never seen a wrestler scarier than Martin Wright aka The Boogeyman. The Nightcrawler came to WWE SmackDown in 2005 for the first time and made his in-ring debut in the same year at Survivor Series.

Wright left the whole WWE Universe shocked in Dec. 2005 when he pulled a handful of live worms out of his pocket in the center of the ring and ate them. He even used to force his opponents to eat those insects.

The 58-year-old wrestling legend hasn’t made an appearance in WWE since January 2021. But recently, he has been in the news for his recent health update.

The Boogeyman had a knee surgery

The WWE legend took to his Twitter on 29 January to let inform his fans that he underwent surgery to treat an old injury. He shared a bunch of pictures of himself in the hospital with the caption, “Through adversity, one only builds character, Fuel to the fire,#WWELEGEND BOOGEYMAN $TILL CMIN2GETCHA”

According to the report from PWInsider, Wright underwent knee surgery last week and is “currently rehabbing.” This news drew ‘get well soon’ reactions from the WWE Universe on Wright’s official Twitter handle.

Fans send their best wishes to the former WWE superstar and prayed for  his speedy recovery on social media.

This fan wants Wright to get better soon and come back to take on Bray Wyatt and Uncle Howdy.

This person was hoping Wright to be a Royal Rumble entrant this year.

The Boogeyman forged an eerie and unforgettable legacy for himself during his time at the prestige wrestling promotion.

A highlight of Boogeyman’s WWE career

Though Wright never became a title holder in WWE, he had one of the most interesting and unique gimmicks in the company. His feud with Booker T, and his wife, Queen Sharmell, is unforgettable as he faced both of the WWE superstars in a handicap match at WrestleMania 22 where he even kissed Sharmell with a mouth full of worms.

Wright also had a stint last year that also involved Bray Wyatt. First fans saw Wright at Royal Rumble after six years of hiatus, but The Eater of the Worlds eliminated him. Later in October, he shared a tweet standing next to Wyatt’s poster, hinting at a probable clash of the two superstars.
