If there's one segment that needs to be repeated in this cyclical industry it's this.

That line always kills me
He was anticipating it being scorching hot and his mind sold him on the idea so we got a premature Ahhh!

THAAA RAAAR WHITE BANGAL TIGER!!!!  One of many reasons I can't hate The Dungeon of Doom. Although it must have been hell sitting through at the time, in 1995 (I started watching right before the slow downfall of the DoD began, early 96), looking back on it now though, it's so bizarrely ridiculous that it's almost kind of genius. I kind of miss this over the top silliness in wrestling. |

I kind of miss this over the top silliness in wrestling. It was rough watching WCW become this silly thing with Hogan after all the great years of Flair and the NWA. Even WWF was bad that year. It’s what pushed me to ECW. ECW kept my fandom alive then. A lot of people knock it today but ECW was pretty revolutionary for its time. I can look back and laugh at a lot of stuff like the Dungeon of Doom now. At the time, not so much. |

Hogan doesn’t like working with certain types of brothers brother. |

The Dungeon of Doom was a kind of cheese that was destined to be looked at poorly given culturally what people wanted and what wrestling was soon to become, but at the same time it was a fun monster of the week format in wrestling, which just felt so new and different for pro wrestling. It was also a good way to try and contain Hogan into a specific corner of the show and keep him happy, often working with his buddies and thankfully just completely removed from the chance to Hogan it up everywhere. I think in a better written promotion, this kind of format could work well.

I liked the storyline myself a bit especially when The Giant was introduced and when Vader was named to be on Hogan's team at Fall Brawl 95, too bad it never happened. |

I feel something like this could have worked really well for Cena in his later years instead of having him beat pretty much every potential up and comer cleanly. |

I said a better written promotion, Chiral. Not WWE circa 2013. |

Fun fact, Kevin Sullivan said on the 605 superpodcast that he wanted to bring Purple Haze Mark Lewin as part of the Dungeon of Doom, but Mark was living in Asia and wcw wouldn’t pay his travel expenses.
