The pro wrestler left the following message to children when Scott asked him if he scared children at the event.

“I want to scare all the kids into doing the right thing,” the boogeyman said. “Keep your room clean, honor your mother and father. Do your homework. eat your spinach Do your push-ups and say your prayers.” He ended his message with a menacing laugh.
