When I realize I've been tricked into coming to some sort of evil lair my first instinct is to stick my hand into whatever random liquid I see first.

To this day I'm not even sure what Hogan was going for there. Like he expected it to be hot, it wasn't and his brain blue screened. Or maybe he was searching for the word "Cold" and ended up on "Wet stuff not hot"

Sissy Kevin Sullivan of failing Dungeon of Doom and bad wrestling varsity club captain has a problem -- his Bengal tiger cave waterfall is no longer "hot"

AHHH! IT'S NOT HOT! I've seen my share of bad movies but like DeathChicken I have no idea what the gently caress was supposed to be happening in that skit.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Why did Hogan switch to pants anyway? With the exception of Wrestlemania IX it seems like he made the change for WCW. He got old. He returned to the yellow trunks later in his WCW run and it makes him look so old compared to Hollywood Hogan.

Kirios posted:Okay you guys have convinced me - the Dungeon of Doom was actually great. I pretty much unironically love the presentation of it. The secret lair, Sullivan's nutty promos, "YOU AND I CANNOT EXIST ON THE SAME PLANET HOGAN"- brilliant. It was probably already too far into the 90s for this to work, but man, imagine this gimmick with a stable who aren't there just to job to the top guy over and over.

In theory there's a bunch of workers there for a fun version of Sullivan's Army of Darkness gimmick with Tenta and Meng and all, plus King Curtis has a great voice for heel promos.

Or maybe he was searching for the word "Cold" and ended up on "Wet stuff not hot" Assuming it was scripted, because this was around the time of Thunder in Paradise and I'm guessing Hogan expected scripts for all his acting endeavours, I can imagine it was written something like "Hogan enters a strange room where everything is unusual, he sees water that is clearly steaming but when he puts his hand into it he realises it isn't hot at all". Some kind of attempt to convey the strangeness of his surroundings that didn't translate at all thanks to the terrible way it was shot and acted.

Yup. As is typical JCP/WCW the angle was squashed as soon as it got really interesting and/or popular.

They should have had Hulk put his hand in a covered bowl of peeled grapes, told him it was eyeballs. Really freak him out, get real dastardly with it.

Yeah. You had that odd thing where part of the reason there was no organized resistance to the NWO (aside from bad booking) was that the Four Horsemen spent a long time playing footsie with the Dungeon. Invaders taking over? Bah! Time for another match with the Faces of Fear!

Dawgstar posted:Yup. As is typical JCP/WCW the angle was squashed as soon as it got really interesting and/or popular. The main problem with the Varsity Club was that people kept leaving. Varsity Club formed in in 88 with Mike Rotunda, Rick Steiner and Kevin Sullivan and after about six months Rick Steiner turned face, leaves the group and starts a feud with Rotunda. This brings in Dr Death Steve Williams (don't mention the fact that he had helped the Garvins in their matches against the Varsity Club earlier) at Starrcade 88. In february 1989 Rick Steiner teams up with Eddie Gilbert (Scott Steiner is there for moral support mainly) to feud over the US tag titles that Williams and Sullivan hold and a month or so later Dan Spivey is recruited to the club. This was partially because the 4 Horsemen was split up at this point after AA, Tully and JJ Dillon had all left the company so WCW needed a new strong heel group. (Nobody mention the Yamasaki Corporation) The main goal in 1989 for the Varsity Club was the world tag titles held by the Road Warriors and Sullivan/Williams tried a bunch of times and then after Wrestlewar 89 (which is in May) the whole thing starts falling apart. Eddie Gilbert left the company earlier in the year (this did cause Rick and Scott to start teaming though, so some good came of it). Steve Williams turns face and leaves the group, has a short feud with Rotunda and then starts a US title programme with Lex Luger. Dan Spivey turns into a skyscraper alongside Sid Vicious and now we're down to just Kevin Sullivan and Mike Rotunda. So the whole thing didn't really last very long.
