However, according to Tenta in a later interview he had with Wrestlecrap in 2000, Eric Bischoff was not a big fan of him and he suggested having Tenta make his own implementations to his character. In addition, a personal tattoo Tenta had in the form of a tiger had to be changed to have it resemble a shark, so it would go along with the gimmick. When the WWF threatened legal action due to the Avalanche gimmick being similar to Tenta's time as Earthquake, Tenta would be repackaged as The Shark.Īs The Shark, Tenta had shark jaw face paint applied to the bottom half of his face, wrestling attire consisting of a smiling shark across the midriff of his outfit, arm-pads shaped like fins and had the habit of chomping repeatedly during his ring entrances. John Tenta, formerly known as Earthquake of the Natural Disasters in the WWF, arrived in WCW in 1994 thanks to Hulk Hogan where he first appeared as Avalanche. Here's failed Dungeon of Doom gimmick No. However, with the WWF pushing younger talent without relying on veterans to push them along, the storyline didn't go the way WCW bookers wanted as they felt that the Millionaire's Club was getting over instead and they killed the storyline, along with both stables, two months later. The idea behind the angle was to help WCW's younger talent get over with audiences as they fought off the company's older stars. The veterans of the company formed the stable known as Millionaire's Club and the younger talent on the roster would form the New Blood stable. The two came up with the idea to create a storyline where all WCW championships would be declared vacant and a rivalry for the championships and direction of the company would occur between factions of the veteran and younger talents of the company roster. With the company running through different bookers who backfired at helping to ease its woes, WCW brought back Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff to lead in the company's creative direction. In 2000, WCW was struggling in the ratings war against the WWF and losing popularity rather rapidly with one of the major contributors to the downfall being the lack of younger talent being pushed to the main event. Stay tuned for more Dungeon of Doom spectacles from this list! Not to mention that the big man playing the Yeti, Ron Reis, was very limited in his ability in the ring. Rather than actually looking like an ape though, the Yeti looked more like a mummy.
The reasons that the Dungeon of Doom are considered a flop are because the stable was quite an over-the-top gimmick compared to many of the characters within WCW at the time and a good number of the wrestlers in the stable were either big guys with limited to no ability in the ring and/or personal buddies of Hulk Hogan whom he brought into the company.Īs you can see in the video above, the Yeti debuted on an episode of Monday Nitro in 1995 coming out of a block of ice. Milking use of the creative direction clause of his contract, Hogan suggested creating a stable of monster-themed heels led by booker Kevin Sullivan to form the Dungeon of Doom.
In 1994, Hulk Hogan had signed with WCW and the company needed some heels for him to feud with after he creamed his way through Vader and Ric Flair in his typical self-centered fashion. But before I cover this fellow, I'll cover some quick background on the stable he was with in the form of the Dungeon of Doom. The Beefcake Book can be used at the bookshelf in the hallway right opposite the safe room, as indicated in the screenshot down below.Several of you requested that I cover this ridiculous gimmick from WCW. While it isn’t required for progressing, you can gain an extra item for your effort if you know where to use it. However, you’ll also come across the Beefcake Book in one of the smaller rooms near the safe room in this area. The books needed for the puzzle are the King Book, the Queen Book, and the Slave Book. One of the puzzles pops up in the mid-section of the castle, on the third floor of the East Building, where you collect several books and place them in their correct positions in the library to receive a key item. In the very first dungeon of the game, Kamoshida’s Castle, you’ll have to solve a few simple puzzles to keep progressing.
Here’s where to use the Beefcake Book in Persona 5 Royal. Along with new story additions, it also comes with gameplay and dungeon changes as well. Just a couple years after the release of the original Persona 5, Atlus has launched a new and improved version of the game, dubbing it Persona 5 Royal.
