10 Worst "Big Reveals" In Wrestling History

WCW deserves a considerable amount of credit for how ardently they tried to get fans to continue to cheer for Hulk Hogan in the mid-90s. By this point, wrestling fans had largely soured on Hogan thanks to his stale "superhero" persona and his reputation as a backstage politician, but WCW worked steadfastly to preserve Hulkamania for as long as they could.

Enter the Dungeon of Doom, a stable of comic book-esque super-villains led by "The Taskmaster," Kevin Sullivan.

After conquering the Dungeon at 1995's Fall Brawl, Hogan was challenged by The Giant (aka Big Show), Andre the Giant's kayfabe son and the Dungeon's newest recruit. But The Taskmaster had yet another trick up his sleeve - an "insurance policy". Specifically, a Yeti that they had been keeping preserved in a block of ice.

At Halloween Havoc, Hogan dropped the title via disqualification to the debuting Giant. In the ensuing bedlam, out came the so-called "Yeti" to make the save for the Dungeon. I say "so-called" because he looked more like a mummy than an actual yeti. While the man under the bandages, Ron Reis, was legitimately 7'1", his awful aesthetic and his questionable bear hug on Hogan made him an instant laughing stock.

Immediately after the PPV, WCW changed his attire to that of a masked ninja, but inexplicably kept the "Yeti" moniker. He would spend his remaining years with the company shuffling through various names and gimmicks, all of whom were jobbers.
