Dungeon of doom

[Guest]

I'm recreating this group for the "One and Only Anglesault thread," I need to know everything about it, because I forgot about the Dungeon.

[Guest Tony149]

Well, it all started at Slamboree '95 (I think). It was The Man With No Name (Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake) vs. Kevin Sullivan. When a guy (Who was called "Father". I assume of Kevin Sullivan) sitting on a chair inside a "cave" called Kevin Sullivan. During the next few weeks/months on WCW TV, Sullivan was shown running thru the woods looking for this "cave". He found it called the guy "Father". The Father would say "Sullivan, my son" a lot. I forgot the rest, but Kevin Sullvian started calling himself "The Taskmaster". The DOD planned on killing Hulkamania.

[Guest The Great Wesuke]

picking up where Tony left off...

 

So The Master lived in a cave and was small and wrinkly and blue and had cobwebs all over him. He would yell every sentance.

 

In order to destroy Hulkamania Taskmaster and The Master recruited The Shark (John Tenta), Zodiac (Beefcake), Kamala (Kamala) and then eventually Maxx (Max Muscle) The Leprechuan (I think played by Buddy Lee Parker), Hugh Morrus... somewhere along the way Jimmy Hart joined as well... Konan, Jaqueline (her first big break) and The Faces of Fear (Meng/Barbarian). Oh yea, and The Yeti broke out of a giant ice block when The Master made an appearance on Nitro.

 

I don't even want to get into the order all of this took place or whom joined and left the DoD and when.

 

ummm... hope that *helps*

[Guest]

I do believe Jimmy Hart debuted Paul Wight ( The Giant/Big Show ) in his Dungeon Of Doom as well...

[Guest RetroRob215]

Towards the end, the DOD alligned with the Horsemen to combat Hulkamania.

[Guest The Great Wesuke]

[i do believe Jimmy Hart debuted Paul Wight ( The Giant/Big Show ) in his Dungeon Of Doom as well...]

 

Yea, that was something I forgot to mention... only the biggest name/angle to come out of the DoD. It led to a great angle on one of the ppv's where Giant and Yeti did a double bear-hug on Hogan and it looked like they were just humping him. And of course the monster truck fight and the fall of doom.

What exactly happened when Hogan invaded the Dungeon?

[Guest RetroRob215]

I reveiwed a tape which included this segment, here is what I wrote about it:

 

WCW Main Event: July 23, 1995

 

- Dungeon of Doom Promo

In my opinion this is the only Dungeon of Doom promo worth watching for reasons you will soon find out. We join Kevin Sullivan and Iaukea speaking about Hulkamania being very close, coincidentally Hulk Hogan falls into the Dungeon of Doom. Hogan, “There are no Hulkamaniacs here! I’ve never been here before!” At this point Hogan puts his hand under running water and pulls it away quickly, yelling, “IT’S NOT HOT!” Yeah, I don’t get it either. Hogan finds Sullivan and Iaukea, “I know you…I know you too…you are trying to put an end to Hulkamania!” At this point the wall explodes, knocking Hogan over, and The Giant walks through the explosion. The Giant applies the dreaded nerve hold! I think this formula applies here, Lame + Pathetic = Funny. 35/73

 

By the way, King Curtis Iaukea is the the fat guy with no name that was mentioned earlier.

[Guest Tony149]

Vader got into this too. I belive at a Clash of the Champions, Hogan was getting beat up by the DoD inside the "cave" when Vader appeared and helped Hogan. I guess this made Vader an "official face". Even though he had turned semi-face when feuding with Flair & Anderson.

 

This also got Vader on Hogan's WarGames team. Which ended up being the worst WarGames ever until 1998.

[Guest RevEvil]

Towards the end, the DOD alligned with the Horsemen to combat Hulkamania.

After this alliance failed to end Hulkamania, The DOD and 4Hmen feuded with each other. This was when Benoit stole woman from Sullivan.

[Guest papacita]

I should hate Hogan for the simple fact that I had to root for those jackasses.

 

Anyway, this whole angle is proof of why I say Hogan ruined WCW.  One thing you guys forgot to mention is that before Bash at the Beach, Paul Wight had been seen in the crowds watching the show but nobody knew who he was. Then, on the Main Event before the PPV, Wight walks out in one of those Seinfeld puffy shirts and tosses it in Hogan's face and says "REMEMBER THIS?!" Then Mean Gene is all like "Hulk! Buddy! What's wrong!" And Hogan goes..."Oh my God...THIS IS ANDRE'S!!!!!!!" At this point I go "Who the fuck is Andre?!", thinking it's some cheap plug for one of his jackoff friends in Florida when he's actually talking about Andre the Giant.

 

Then he enters the Dungeon, gets his ass beat, then goes into this series of dark promos where he's talking about Andre the Giant and how he felt his spirit through Wight. He basically says he's gotta go into the dungeon of doom one more time...which he does at Clash of the Champions...AND HE GETS HIS ASS KICKED AGAIN! But this time Vader and I think Sting and Macho run out with chairs (I could be thinking of the Funeral Parlor thing from WWF though, replacing Piper with Sting...that Clash tape broke a month later), and Vader gives Wight 2 punches and it doesn't phase him so they grab Hogan and run.

 

Fall Brawl: Vader goes AWOL so they bring in Lex. But Savage doesn't like or trust him. Sting loves the guy though. So it's Savage, Hogan, Sting and Luger against the Dungeon...WCW was making me sick at this point so I didn't order the PPV, but from what I remember, it ended with the Giant coming out after the match and snapping Hogan's neck. A few weeks later on Nitro, that asshole Hogan came out in a neckbrace and deliberately picked a fight with a defenseless old woman (and they fired Hennig for fighting with Lesnar! BULL!). Anyway, this poor old lady was dragged into the ring and Hogan was about to give her the dreaded leg drop of death when the Giant comes back out and snaps his neck again. As it turns out, the old woman was Kevin Sullivan dressed in drag (what was with them an men dressed in drag that year?! And NO Chyna jokes, damn it!) and he pulls out some clippers and shaves Hogan's mustache...which if I recall, Shivonne (you know how to spell his name) sold as the single most repulsive moment in the history of our sport!

 

Now this setup Monster Mayhem for Halloween Havoc that October, but in the weeks leading up to the PPV, Hogan appeared on Nitro as we had never seen him before...he was dressed in...wait for it...you won't believe it when I tell you! It was so damn shocking...you ready?! He was dressed in.......BLACK!!!!!!!!!!! ISN'T THAT SHIT AMAZING?! And that was actually a major part of the storyline. Anyway, so it's Giant and Hogan on the roof. Hogan's truck wins, and Hogan, being the cruel, heartless bastard that he is attacks the Giant when he wasn't expecting it and shoved him off the roof. So throughout the PPV they're sitting there waiting for word on the Giant's condition. Hogan comes out before the match, and again, being the heartless, coldhearted bastard that he is, he gets on the mic and starts talking smack on him. I think he told him that if he ever had kids, he would kidnap them and sell them to Michael Jackson. Don't quote me on that though, but it was something along those lines. Anyway, Giant comes out, and Hogan's all like "Oh my God, I thought you were dead" and Giant's like "No one can stop the Giant", and Heenan's like "Look at the fear in his eyes!!" and by this point I'm laughing my ass off at my friend who was damn near in tears when he thought the Giant had really fallen of the roof. So anyway, Hogan get whooped all over the ring, pillar to post, wall to wall...you name it. Hulks up, and gets the thousands of little Hulkamaniacs behind him to give him the strength of pressing the 800 pound Giant over his head and slamming him down to the mat brother. He hits the ropes! Big leg drop...WHAM!!!!!!!!!! Tony "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REFEREE!!!!!!!!!" Fans falsely accuse Jimmy Hart of hitting him with the belt...and Hogan believes them. Jimmy is so shocked and appalled by Hogan's gross accusation that he strikes him with the belt, starting the beatdown from hell which saw Luger join the Dungeon and the Yetti/Giant's double team bear hug thingy...you know. Anyway, as it turns out, Giant won the match by DQ (don't ask me), and Jimmy Hart had snuck some kinda clause into the contract saying that Hogan could lose the belt via DQ, and Giant was briefly made the Champ before the vacant title was held up in World War 3...which was won by Savage. From here, the Dungeon formed some sort of alliance with the Horsemen, which Pillman's Loose Cannonship (it's a word) apparently tore apart,  which lead to the Horsemen Dungeon feud, the random high heel shoe attacks from January 96, the hot coffee thing and crazy old Hogan...(making the shocking fashion decision of RETURNING to red and yellow) comes out a chair at the end of every Nitro and beats the crap out of everything in sight. That was some crazy ass shit!

 

Anyway, I dunno if this is that much help, but who cares I had fun writing about it. A lot more fun than I had actually watching that crap anyway. Where was Rick Rude when we needed him?

I liked the Dungeon of Doom, they were the best thing to come to WCW.

[Guest papacita]

Taskmaster, Meng and some of the others were cool...hell I even liked Zodiak. But the rest of them...

 

Edit:

 

Giant too.

I liked most of them too.  This was Paul Wight's best work, who can forget the smoking and:

 

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHTHECHOKESLAM!!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

Does anyone know about any Dungeon of Doom websites?

[Guest J*ingus]

If someone can show me how to use attachments in email (Hotmail specifically), I could send you a couple of Wrestlecrap's files about the DoD.

I don't have Hotmail, so I'm not sure.  I use Yahoo, it's preety simple on Yahoo, but you can only send three attatchements at a time.  My email:   [email protected]

[Guest J*ingus]

I'll try, but I'm not very good at much beyond pointin' and clickin', so I don't promise anything.

[Guest converge241]

dont forget about Loch Ness

 

and the dreaded:

 

The Co-Alition To End Hulkamania!!!!

[Guest nWoScorpion]

When you learn how to send attachments, send them to [email protected]

[Guest J*ingus]

Send what?  I've got the whole site as a zip file, but it's really slow to process, and I don't know if it can be sent over email at all.

[Guest razazteca]

Was Tiny ZEUS Lester in this whole angle?  I think I remember him from The Co-Alition To End Hulkamania, cage match?

[Guest RetroRob215]

He was a part of the cage match, but I'm not sure if he officially was a part of the DOD.

[Guest converge241]

The Co-Allition was:

Flair

Sullivan

Arn

Meng

Barbarian

Luger

Ultimate Solution

Z-Gangsta

Jimmy Hart (i guess)

 

and no being a member of one did not necessarily make you a part of the other

[Guest razazteca]

was the Ultimate Solution the same person who was Typhoon/Tugboat?

[Guest]

was the Ultimate Solution the same person who was Typhoon/Tugboat?

He was Bane in Batman & Robin.  

 

Typhoon/Tugboat played the Shockmaster and Bluto in the Popeye cartoons, who is now played by the Big Show.

[Guest Some Guy]

Ultimate Solution was Jeep Swenson, the guy who played Bane in Batman and Robin.  he died shortly after the match, perhaps as a result of viewing a tape of it and batman and Robin in the same day.

[Guest The Bad Guy]

Wrestlecrap - Archive

 

That is my personally uploaded archive of Wrestlecrap. It doesn't have alot of the pics and stuff, but it does have the entire Zodiac part fully uploaded as well as a couple of others. It was uploaded directly from the entire Wrestlecrap Zip-File that was mentioned earlier.

[Guest C-Bacon]

“There are no Hulkamaniacs here! I’ve never been here before!” At this point Hogan puts his hand under running water and pulls it away quickly, yelling, “IT’S NOT HOT!” Yeah, I don’t get it either.

LMAO. that had me laughing out loud. i'd like to see a tape of it

[Guest papacita]

Unrelated topic, but on the Earthquake squashing Damien thing, does anybody else remember them censoring it with Sean Mooney? Cuz that was when I 1st started watching the WWF, and I remember seeing the squashing in full.
