President Donald Trump was a part of a significant angle at WrestleMania 23. His a few years of involvement with the promotion led to his 2013 WWE Hall of Fame induction. During certainly one of Trump’s quite a few appearances, he was alleged to share the screen with The Boogeyman.
“In that segment when I come up from behind him within the couch, and he had – also, Miss America there as well, and he or she ran off – but then Donald, Mr. Trump, President Trump – as he’s – he didn’t need to be frightened, so he’s talking about how this place is a circus,” Boogeyman recalled during an interview with “Going Ringside.” “He didn’t need to sell my character…he didn’t need to sell my character, so he said ‘Go make me a sandwich,’ and also you see me walk off screen, but then I got here back and I grab him by the collar and I said, ‘How a few worm sandwich?’ They cut it.”
The Boogeyman further claimed that the explanation why WWE ended up cutting the segment wasn’t that WWE didn’t need to air it, but because Donald Trump didn’t like how he got here off.
“In all actuality, I got somewhat in trouble for that, or heat for it, because I allowed him to not show [fear], which nearly kills the character,” he added. Despite this, Boogeyman claims he’s fortunate for having the ability to meet the US President before he ever was President. “Donald Trump knows The Boogeyman.”
The veteran further explained that he winged the grab after realizing that his character would never allow anyone to consult with him that way, and that, within the moment, Trump was startled because he didn’t expect anything to occur.
“I grabbed him because I used to be insulted by him to go tell me to go make him a sandwich,” the previous WWE star explained. “I’m The Boogeyman? You realize, I got all these people being afraid of me, and he’s telling me to go make him a freaking sandwich?”
Boogeyman still keeps up with the product, even jokingly claiming paternity of Bray Wyatt, through the late star’s time in WWE.
