10 Worst WCW Gimmicks Ever

3. The Dungeon Of Doom

When Kevin Sullivan was booking WCW in the mid-1990s, he was handed a gift that most bookers would dream of: Hulk Hogan. Unfortunately, the star power of Hogan came with many conditions that Sullivan did not anticipate. Hogan would have full creative control of storylines and he still thought it was 1987 when the big, bad heels were fed to the virtuous champion. To keep Hogan happy, Sullivan created the Dungeon of Doom. A heel stable with characters so ridiculous that they looked like they were taken from a terrible Saturday morning cartoon show. Here's a quick rundown of some of the members of this "elite" stable: Shark - Formerly known as Earthquake in the WWF, John Tenta started to paint his face to resemble the sea creature and then promised to eat all of the children in the audience. Zodiac - Ed Leslie, king of terrible gimmicks, went from Brutus Beefcake to the Zodiac, a wrestler who supposedly represented the "yin and yang of wrestling" and screamed either "Yes!" or "No!" during his matches. Loch Ness - A 600 lbs. British wrestler so fat that he could barely move around the ring and made Big Show look svelte by comparison. Braun the Leprechaun - A wrestling leprechaun who was 6-foot tall. The Yeti - See #8 on this list. The Taskmaster - Kevin Sullivan became the leader of this group of misfits and was reduced to playing the Bobby Heenan role to Hogan's ego.
