[1995-10-23-WCW-Nitro] Interview: Dungeon of Doom

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

They did a live Dungeon of Doom segment on Nitro! King Curtis is sitting somewhere in the arena -- I can't tell exactly where -- doing his "SULLIVAN!" routine before they segue to Gene interviewing Giant and Sullivan.

[Tim Evans]

I gotta give props to King Curtis for doing this and not cracking a smile or breaking up. SULLIVAN!!!

[BackToBionic]

How did I make it to 2012 before seeing this? Hilarious.

[Laney]

Horrendous segment here. This period in 1995 was just a terrible moment for wrestling in the US. The block of ice containing The Yeti was introduced here. This whole thing was just terribly cartoony and defines wrestlecrap.

[El-P]

Amazing ! King Curtis live on Nitro ! With a giant iceberg in the arena ! The Yeti is coming !

 

At the end of the show the giant block of ice would explode and reveal… a mummy. At least Prince Kharis had those offensive James Mitchell promos leading to the unveiling.

SULLIVAN, MY SON. THE INSURANCE PACKAGE HAS BEEN DELIVERED. FROM NORTH OF KATHMANDU, FROM THE HIMALAYAS AND THE NORTH FACE OF MOUNT EVEREST, THE SHERPA GUIDES HAVE GONE OUT, A THIRTEEN TON OF MICE(????). When Sullivan clipped the whiskers of the Rare White Bengal Tiger...something or other, but it has to do with Darkness. Sullivan in more lucid fashion explains that the Sherpa Guides have given Sullivan the YET-TAY. Giant cuts his first live promo that we see on the Yearbook, and it isn't bad, until his evil laugh at least.

Ok so I defended the Dungeon of Doom last week, but yeah this is pretty horrible. If they just kept it to Sullivan, Giant, Jimmy Hart and Luger it would have been a strong heel stable, but this shit is ridiculous. I forgot other people besides Tony Schiavone call him the YET-TAY, which is why I still call those Yeti cups Yet-TAYs and get weird looks from my wife. The Rare White Bengal Tiger always cracks me up. I was today years old when I realized that Rare White Bengal Tiger is Hulk Hogan. Sullivan is very good at this type of camp. Giant is fine besides the Laugh at the end.
