10 Most Ambitious Wrestling Matches Of All Time

A year later, WCW found itself failing, comically, to replicate the success of Hulk Hogan’s seminal WWF run.

Hogan’s babyface act felt ancient and cheesy, both in itself and in contrast to the wider cultural sphere. Mere months before Hogan’s groundbreaking, hugely effective heel turn, WCW had a different, exponentially worse idea to maximise his appeal to the public.

The fandom was sick of this goofball babyface from up north, so let’s go ahead there and make him the most babyface to ever babyface by opposing him, and buddy Randy Savage, against eight dastardly baddies in a triple-decker steel cage spectacular.

Framed as the least effective baddie was one Ric Flair, the most effective working heel ever, who in the Doomsday Cage became an entry level side-scrolling beat ‘em-up goof. The final boss, meanwhile, was a barely-trained muscle-head actor initially named after a plan to kill the entire Jewish population of planet earth. Ambitious in its attempts to get Hogan over and in its brain-melting practicality, this descended into something beyond farce when the Booty Man arrived to save the day by bashing every Dungeon of Doom affiliate with a frying pan.

Uncensored 96’s tagline ran “Everything you’ve wanted to see…plus the stuff you haven’t thought of yet!”

Nobody ever thought of this because no f*cker ever wanted this.
