10 Wrestling Gimmick Matches You Won't See Again

Hulk Hogan's career was hampered by needing to put increasingly bigger, more monstrous threats in front of him to no-sell and overcome. This pattern reached its gruesome nadir at WCW's Uncensored 1996, where Hogan and his on-again off-again best bro Randy Savage were booked against a malevolent coalition of just about everyone WCW had spare at the time.

The Doomsday Cage was three cages stacked on top of one another, creating multiple layers of steel the audience couldn't see through. Savage and the Hulkster started at the top and fought their way down, presumably to escape although no one (including the participants) seemed sure of how to win. The cages were stocked with eight opponents, the Alliance To End Hulkamania, including several (like Ric Flair and Arn Anderson) who should have known better. It was a slow, tedious, shambling farce where no one knew the rules and eventually Hulkamania somehow prevailed.

Fun bonus fact: one of the participants was named 'The Ultimate Solution'. He was originally billed as 'The Final Solution', and it had to be pointed out to WCW why that might be a problem.
