Rick Boogs knows his proudest moment during his time in WWE.
Rick Boogs is a former tag team partner of Shinsuke Nakamura. He was recently released from WWE. During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, the former WWE Superstar shared his most memorable moment in WWE.
Boogs mentioned that his best moment was debuting on Friday Night SmackDown. Rick Boogs also shared how he made ‘magic’ out of getting squashed by Drew Gulak.
“Debuting on SmackDown. Because just from humble beginnings. I got one opportunity in NXT and I think I absolutely hit a frickin Grand Slam with it. I was set up to get squashed by Drew Gulak and ended up making some magic out of it and making a name for myself from supposedly just getting squashed. Like, this is the turnaround of things. This is the change of things and it’s just literally went nowhere. I guess this is a lesson, one of those hard lessons in pro wrestling. You know, you’re there’s somebody’s guy or not. Which, you know, I mean, like, and then I got to be that guy for that, which is crazy,” Rick Boogs said.
Rick Boogs on his Old Spice advertisement
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Boogs also shared his experience in being the lead actor in the Old Spice advertisements.
“Once I did Old Spice, I don’t think this is creative. And I don’t understand. But anyways, like I was told, you can’t talk about anything creatively or whatever it was, I don’t understand. This is my life. I think I can talk about my life. And it’s not creative. So anyways, they needed someone to do this Old Spice ad that like, looked like a wrestler and was entertaining and had personality and had no TV equity. And like, oh, Rick Boogs, that’s the guy. Old Spice, the people like running the ad or whatever, just loved it. And they wanted to do it again. But stuff happened and it never happened again, unfortunately. But it was supposed to happen again like a big whole series.”
