Boogeyman Surprises Workers in Anniston

There was quite a special guest at RMG in Anniston last week.

WWE’s The Boogeyman made a special appearance to pump up the employees and to give them a heartfelt message.

How did the Boogeyman get to Anniston?

WWE wrestling and a foundry, not a match you’d usually hear about.

Well, it turns out Boogeyman, whose real name is Marty Wright, played college football with Lawton Standard-RMG President of Sales and Services Phil Knoebel.

Phil invited Marty to come to Anniston to inspire the hard-working employees at the facility.

Boogeyman’s Wrestling Career

Hailing from a mysterious abyss known as The Bottomless Pit, the Boogeyman first appeared in WWE on SmackDown in 2005.

At first, he just creeped around the locker rooms, scaring other wrestlers. He finally appeared in the ring during Survivor Series that same year.

His go-to snack is live worms, which he first downed during a match in December of 2005. After that, he would always have a handful of worms and often shoved them into opponents’ mouths.

The Boogeyman took down Booker T and Queen Sharmell at WrestleMania 22.

In 2007, he moved to WWE’s relaunched ECW and finished his WWE career in 2009. However, he did make a surprise appearance at the Royal Rumble in 2015.

And there is good news, Boogeyman fans: he’s coming back for this year’s WrestleMania. The big event is Saturday, April 19th and Sunday, April 20th in Las Vegas.

Marty Wright’s Personal Life and Overcoming Struggles

Marty Wright currently owns his own fitness facility in Colorado. He trains people and helps them lose weight through various programs and boot camps.

Wrestling wasn’t easy on Marty’s body, as he hyperextended both knees during some house shows back in 2005.

Marty told the workers at RMG about his scariest moment, when he couldn’t move or walk suddenly at home, as food was cooking on the stove.

He told the workers that he didn’t give up and that, through his belief in God and hard work, he worked his way back to good health.

In 2023, Marty underwent surgery to repair one of his old injuries. He tweeted, “Through adversity, one only builds character. Fuel to the fire.”

Well before his wrestling career, Wright played college football at Tarkio College in Missouri with RMG President of Sales and Services Phil Knoebel.

Celebrating our RMG Workers

In addition to hearing from the Boogeyman and having plenty of time to take pictures and get autographs, the employees at RMG were treated to some great food.

The team-building event included two food trucks featuring burgers, wings, barbecue pulled pork, ribs, and much more.

The picnic-like atmosphere was a great way to cap off a wonderful quarter at RMG.

We appreciate the hard work our employees at RMG put in every day to churn out high-quality castings.
