10 Wrestling Feuds With Unexpectedly Ridiculous Stories

8. Abyss Gets Magic Powers From Hulk Hogan's Ring

Sticking with monsters finding themselves at the centre of some frankly absurd situations on wrestling television, the consistently peculiar realm known as Total Non-Stop Action boasted one of the oddest stories imaginable back in 2010.

With the once intimidating figure of Abyss being saved from a heel beatdown by none other than a Hulk Hogan who had just arrived in town to shake up the Impact Zone, the performer who had become a shell of his former wrecking ball self was soon gifted The Hulkster's Hall of Fame ring.

Why? Well, simple. It possessed the power to make him a "god of wrestling".

And in the weeks that followed, Abyss not only regained a great deal of confidence and began steamrolling his way through the roster again, but he also started to don red and yellow flickers of Hulkamania all over his gear, too.

In other words, Hogan's ring was slowly infecting him with those all important vitamins, brother.

It was hilariously dumb. And Abyss quickly found himself being overshadowed by both the former owner of that jewellery and an unretired Ric Flair during the over-the-hill icons' battles.

This truly odd ring-focused angle thankfully came to an end a few months down the road. But it's safe to say this wasn't exactly the most effective way of turning The Monster into "the next John Cena", as The Immortal One once declared.
