September 15, 2006 - For six consecutive years IGN and THQ have teamed up to bring our readers an ongoing exclusive look at the superstars of the WWE, and this season is no exception. Famous the world over, our "SmackDown Countdown" chronicles each wrestler, diva, and legend that will appear in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007, and comes complete with never-before-seen screenshots and direct-feed movies of every last one of them. Every day for the next nine weeks, we'll profile more than 60 different personalities (including two each on Mondays and Fridays as a special homage to Raw and SmackDown fans), and for the first time ever, will cover two different platforms with images and video from both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 versions. Hot stuff? You bet.
But enough with the formalities it's time to throw down with today's Countdown superstar, The Boogeyman!
HEIGHT:
6'2"
WEIGHT:
255 lbs
HOMETOWN:
The Bottomless Pit
Who will the Boogeyman terrorize next? After haunting JBL and then Booker T & Sharmell, the Boogeyman is lurking and is looking to strike again. Everyone in the SmackDown locker room should be looking over their shoulders cause the Boogeyman can strike at anytime. Lock your door, look for suspicious shadows and hope you do not hear the "tick-tock" of the clock. If you do, be afraid because you're about to face your deepest fear... The Boogeyman is coming to getcha!
From out of the shadows, The Boogeyman now lurks on Friday Night SmackDown. A face of mindless evil, it is said that The Boogeyman feasts on fear and is fueled by the paranoia of others. Relishing the opportunity to recite deeply unsettling rhymes and riddles, The Boogeyman celebrates the delicious destruction of his next victim. He also treats live worms as tasty treats and did the unthinkable: eating the growth off Jillian Hall's face.
During the summer of 2005, bone-chilling commercials for "The Boogeyman" began running during Friday Night SmackDown and other WWE programming -- filled with haunting screams and a memorable, sinister laugh. However, something disturbing happened on the set during filming, and the show was instantly put on hold by the network. Enter network executive Palmer Canon.
On the heels of a new talent initiative headed by Friday Night SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long, Canon introduced The Boogeyman, citing the network's interest in "synergy" with WWE.

But enough with the formalities it's time to throw down with today's Countdown superstar, William Regal!
HEIGHT:
6'2"
WEIGHT:
245 lbs
HOMETOWN:
Blackpool, England
Along with Finlay, William Regal had the great honor of being knighted by King Booker. Now known as Sir William Regal, he continues to help his fellow knight retain his United States Championship in his bouts with Lashley and other challengers.
In recent weeks, it seems as if William Regal has become a loyal subject of King Booker. The Englishman presented the new King and his Queen on Friday Night SmackDown and teamed with Finlay to help Booker attack Lashley. After the United States Champion defeated King Booker, the European pair made their presence felt, helping Booker decimate his opponent and forcing Lashley to kiss the King's feet.
Normally, William Regal is one of WWE's most smug and haughty Superstars. A distinguished Englishman, Regal finds most others crass and downright unworthy of his time. While presenting himself as a dignified man away from the ring, Regal is a sadistic mat wrestler inside the squared circle, taking great pleasure in torturing his adversaries with stiff strikes and brutal submission holds.
Learning the ropes as a young teenager, the native of Blackpool, England traveled across the United Kingdom wrestling as part of carnivals. Facing off against challengers from the carnival circuit as well as from the crowd, Regal quickly earned a reputation as a lethal opponent, with fists of iron and dozens of different holds to render his adversaries helpless. Always interested in sharpening his tools as a wrestler, Regal traveled across the world, winning several championships in Europe, the Middle East and Japan before landing in WCW and WWE (winning plenty of titles along the way).
