I could definitely see this selling big time!!

If he's a main character on television, it will take six months to a year before a figure is seen for him and that's getting in line behind current superstars who have been filling the roster but don't have figures yet.
I had to look up his involvement in WWE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boogeyman_%28wrestler%29#Involvement_in_WWE_.282013-present.29) and since most of it has been on YouTube and it's only been a handful of appearances since 2013, I'm going to guess that he won't be a top seller because most people won't remember his appearance at the Slammys, his previous WWE run and most WWE fans don't watch the YouTube. (And by "most people" of course I mean kids, who the line should be targeted at)
WWE owns the character and is obviously on good terms with the man behind it but I don't think it is strong enough right now to generate an action figure. He hasn't actually wrestled a match for WWE since 2009. So I'd say it's too soon for a "flashback" Elite, yet too late for a regular one. Maybe if his appearance numbers increase and become more widely known then we can discuss it.

The older collector needs some of their wants as well. |

The older collector needs some of their wants as well. True, if figures look cool enough kids will want them. It's been one of my main beliefs as to why Mattel wouldn't make Justin Credible but would give us an Aldo Montoya (who I would love to buy, for the record)-- bright colors = sales. Also, my son happens to love Vader even though as far as mom knows he's never seen a match of his because, you know, what kind of dad would let their almost three year old watch Vader in FMW?  |

Mattel would probably due an awesome Boogeyman, but no thanks.

I would probably buy it. I think it was a great/hilarious gimmick. It's just one of those figures that I feel would turn out awesome and I would feel I had to have it.

I don't think I'd buy him for my collection but I do think there's enough of a market out there to justify a spot for him. I really feel Mattel would knock it out of the part too.
