20 Dumbest Gimmick Matches In WCW History
1. Doomsday Cage Match
Feast your eyes and glut your soul on a match so absurdly terrible that it left Hulkamania itself dying in a puddle of its own bright yellow sick. It was 1995, and WCW was blowing off the interminable Dungeon of Doom angle, and such a persistently ridiculous story needed a very special match to do that. The Dungeon teamed up with the Four Horsemen, the guy who played Zeus in No Holds Barred AND the guy who played Bane in Batman and Robin to face Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage in a handicap cage match.
In a kind of Game of Death scenario, Hogan and Savage were supposed to fight their way through different chambers of the cage, beating up heels as they went. It's clear to literally no one -- fans, announcers, even the wrestlers -- how someone can win the match. It's just Hogan and Savage wandering around beating up Kevin Sullivan's friends until The Booty Man runs in to attack the heels with baby powder and frying pans.
It is also filmed from a horrible angle that makes it impossible to follow anything, and the entire arena is bathed in spooky purplish-green lights. It's as if the production team was trying to save us all from this monstrosity.
Defining Moment: Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage deciding to pin Ric Flair really quick before winning the match by leaving the cage.
