'''The Dungeon Of Doom''' was a [[{{ProfessionalWrestling}} professional wrestling]] stable that existed in [[{{Wrestling/WCW}} WCW]] from May 1995 to July 13, 1997. It developed out of the short-lived power trio the Three Faces of Fear ([[{{Wrestling/KevinSullivan}} Kevin Sullivan]], the Butcher [Brutus Beefcake] and [[{{Wrestling/John Tenta}} Avalanche [John Tenta]]]) which existed from the end of WCW Halloween Havoc 94, October 23, 1994, until April 1995. At WCW [=Slamboree=] 95, May 21, 1995, Sullivan d. The Man With No Name (Butcher). After the match, the Master ("King" Curtis Iaukea- no relation to Mike "Prince Iaukea" Haynor) appeared on the video screen ranting about [[{{Wrestling/HulkHogan}} Hulkamania]] and how it needed to be stopped. Sullivan ran through the crowd and out of the arena. This led to a vignette showing Sullivan running through a forest with the Master calling for him. Then Sullivan disappeared and reappeared at the Master's feet inside the Dungeon, with the Master talking about how the "warriors were gathering." Sullivan said that he didn't want to disappoint the Master, but "no one can defeat the Immortal Hulk Hogan, no one." The Master told Sullivan, whom he called his "SONNNNNNNNNN," to take "the final step," leading to Sullivan running toward another area of the Dungeon. He reemerged in a red robe as "The Taskmaster," calling the Master "Father," and understanding his power and now he knew that they could destroy Hulk Hogan and all the Hulkamaniacs, because, "''It is etched in '''STOONNNNEEEE!!!!!''''' Over the next few weeks on WCW TV, the Master would present different warriors to be used to destroy Hogan, starting with Kamala (his WCW debut), the Shark (Tenta) and the Zodiac (Beefcake) and, most importantly, the centerpiece, [[{{Wrestling/TheBigShow}} The Giant]].

* BeardOfEvil: Taskmaster, Shark and The Giant

* FaceHeelTurn: Jimmy Hart, Hogan's manager, turned on him during Hogan's match with the Giant at Halloween Havoc 95, costing Hogan the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-h.html WCW World Heavyweight Title]] as it was later revealed that Hart had set up the contract so that the belt could change hands on a DQ. To add to this, Lex Luger, who had come back from [[{{Wrestling/WWE}} WWE]] a month earlier and was immediately distrusted by [[{{Wrestling/RandySavage}} Randy Savage]], turned on Savage shortly after.

* FacialMarkings: The Taskmaster and the Zodiac

* DoubleAgent: Lex Luger turned heel at Hallowen Havoc 95 and sided with the Dungeon. However, he and [[{{Wrestling/Sting}} Sting]] defeated Harlem Heat ([[{{Wrestling/BookerT}} Booker T]] and Stevie Ray) for the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-t.html WCW World Tag Team Titles]] on the January 22, 1996 ''[[{{WCWMondayNitro}} WCW Monday Nitro]]'', which meant that he was aligned with both a top babyface and a top heel group at the same time. WCW finally resolved this by turning Luger face in the Doomsday Cage match at [=Uncensored=] in March, because they needed him as a face due to [[{{Wrestling/NewWorldOrder}} what was around the corner]].

* ArchEnemy: Hulk Hogan, of course, [[{{Wrestling/RandySavage}} Randy Savage]], [[{{Wrestling/Sting}} Sting]], later Brian Pillman and [[{{Wrestling/ChrisBenoit}} Chris Benoit]]
* The BigBad[=/=]TheEvilGenius: The Taskmaster

* The {{Leprechaun}}: [[{{CaptainObvious}} Yes]]. Real name Dewayne Bruce, better known as Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker of the {{Jobber}} tag team the State Patrol and as a trainer at WCW's wrestling school the Power Plant. He lasted about a month.
* TheMole: After the Zodiac left the group in February 1996, he was repackaged as The Booty Man (sort of like [[{{Wrestling/DGenerationX}} Billy Gunn's "Mr. Ass" gimmick]]), now a {{Face}} and a Friend of Hulk. Hulk [[{{LampshadeHanging}} explained]] that he had sent him into the Dungeon as a "mole." However, [[{{FridgeBrilliance}} it actually DOES make sense]] when you consider the finish of the [[{{GimmickMatches}} War Games]] match between the Hulkamaniacs (Hogan/Savage/Sting/Luger) and the Dungeon of Doom (Kamala/Shark/Zodiac/Meng) at WCW Fall Brawl 95, September 17, 1995. The Hulkamaniacs won when Hogan forced Zodiac to submit (the way War Games matches are ended). Hulk ''had'' to have Zodiac be the one to submit, since he was arguably the weakest guy on the team, because it would look suspicious if Hulk had fought with the other three guys but left Zodiac alone.

* ForeignWrestlingHeel: Kamala the [[{{UsefulNotes/Uganda}} Ugandan]] Giant, Loch Ness (from [[{{UsefulNotes/Scotland}} Scotland]]), Meng and the Barbarian (from [[{{UsefulNotes/Tonga}} Tonga]]), the Yeti (from, as the Master put it on the October 29, 1995 ''WCWMondayNitro'', [[{{UsefulNotes/Nepal}} "North of Katmandu, from the Himalayas and the North face of Mount Everest"]])

* [[{{WildSamoan}} Wild Tongan]]: Meng and the Barbarian

* FakeNationality: Konnan, a [[{{UsefulNotes/Cuba}} Cuban]]-American from Miami playing a [[{{UsefulNotes/Mexico}} Mexican]] [[{{GangstaRap}} gangsta rapper]]. In a faction with Tongan [[{{Badass}} badasses]], a manager from Memphis, TN, a leader from "The Iron Gates of Fate," a [[{{Wrestling/BigBossman}} Big Bubba, a big redneck from Georgia best known as an evil prison guard]], a bodybuilder from Muscle Beach, CA (Maxx Muscle) and [[{{Characters/WWEDivas}} Jacqueline, a black woman from Dallas, TX]]. At least his joining the [[{{Wrestling/NewWorldOrder}} NWO]], particularly the red-and-black Wolfpac version, made sense as it was centered around aging white guys ([[{{Wrestling/KevinNash}} Kevin Nash]] and [[{{Wrestling/RandySavage}} Randy Savage]]) who thought they were young because they had gangsta rap as entrance music.

*** In the vignette that introduced Hugh Morrus, Sullivan said he was from "The Isle of Nowhere," although he was never announced as being from there.
