10 Weirdest Wrestling Cults Ever
3. Dungeon Of Doom
In the mould of the classic religious nutjob cult leader, a voice led Kevin Sullivan to a cave in “Parts Unknown”. Here he encountered The Master, a well-fed zombie cloaked in cobwebs, who encouraged him to drink mystery liquid from a goblet, gave him the mantle of The Taskmaster, and the mission to annihilate Hulkamania.
The group was an expansion of Sullivan’s previous stable The Three Faces of Fear (Sullivan, Avalanche, and The Butcher), spawned due to Sullivan’s objection to his brother Dave being a huge Hulkamaniac. If only Sullivan knew the simple equation: Hulk Hogan + Family Member + Sun Lotion = Decreased Hulkamania.
The stable is best remembered for its never-ending hoard of overly bizarre characters, featuring such talent as The Giant (Big Show making false paternal claims about Andre), The Yeti (a 7ft 2in Egyptian mummy) and a leprechaun called Braun (actual height – 5ft 6in). Legends would occasionally trial a membership, such as Lex Luger, Vader, and Big Boss Man (as Big Bubba). However, the Dungeon of Doom were merely a minor inconvenience to Hulk Hogan, succeeding only in destroying itself.
