5 WCW Factions that belong in the WWE Hall Of Fame

#3 The Dungeon Of Doom

The Dungeon of Doom were a unique group that launched new talent and gave other stars their last hurrah.

Before the New World Order in so many ways reinvented WCW, the dominant heel faction of the preceding era was The Dungeon of Doom. With Kevin Sullivan at the helm, the group introduced a chaotic mix of monster heels with a mission of making life difficult for top faces like Sting, Randy Savage, and especially Hulk Hogan.

This group offered a platform for big men like Kamala, The Yeti, and John Tenta, as well as reinvented eccentrics like Brutus Beefcake’s Zodiac character. Perhaps most importantly of all, The Dungeon of Doom launched The Giant, who would go on to a two decade plus career, most famously working as The Big Show in WWE.

The Dungeon of Doom tends to get dismissed for being campy and representing outdated thinking about what a wrestling heel might be. Just the same, they had a lot of fun moments and, in The Giant, did actually succeed in getting the world title off of Hogan for a time.
