Halloween Havoc Matchlists
Halloween Havoc 1989
Tom Zenk vs. Mike Rotunda
Midnight Express/Steve Williams vs. Samoan Swat Team/Samoan Savage
Cuban Assassin vs. Tommy Rich (BTW, Cuban Assassin is not a good wrestling name....do you realize just how many Cuban Assassins there are in independent wrestling....and every single one of them suck)
Freebirds vs. Dynamic Dudes NWA World Tag Team Title Match
Steiners vs. Doom
Lex Luger vs. Brian Pillman ****1/4 (helluva match, back when Luger wasn't absolutely worthless)
Road Warriors vs. Skyscrapers
Ric Flair/Sting vs. Great Muta/Terry Funk ThunderCage Match *** (this is what WWF needs to bring back for a big fued nowadays....this is HITC type match, but it has electrified barbed wire on the top and the roof is slanted inward to prevent escape....good match too, but could have been better)
Halloween Havoc 1990
Midnight Express vs. Ricky Morton/Tommy Rich
The Freebirds vs. Renegade Warriors
Steiners vs. Nasty Boys U.S. Tag Team Title Match
Ric Flair/Arn Anderson vs. Doom WCW Tag Team Title Match ****
Lex Luger vs. Stan Hansen U.S. Title Match
"Sting" vs. Sid Vicious WCW World Title Match (heh, and you thought the NWO originated the fake Sting angle)
Halloween Havoc 1991
Sting/El Gigante/Steiner Brothers vs. Abdullah the Butcher/Big Van Vader/Cactus Jack/Diamond Studd (Scott Hall) Chamber of Horrors Match (this has to be one of the silliest ideas anybody has ever thought up, but it's weird enough and entertaining in an entirely stupid way that it sorta grew on me.....impossible to rate with all the shit going on. Ending comes when Cactus goes to pull the switch for the electric chair because he thinks Rick is in it, but Rick puts Abdullah in there and he takes the "shock" instead..........very definition of "entertaining crap".....also, I had this pointed out to me by my friend Pee Wee, but watch the switch itself whenever its in view during the match...it keeps falling down and shit, it's hilarious!!!)
Johnny B. Badd vs. Jimmy Garvin
Steve Austin vs. Dustin Rhodes WCW TV Title Match (decent enough match I suppose, but after about the 8 or 9 minute mark, EVERYONE knows this one is going to a draw, and the last 6 minutes are just hell to sit through)
Brian Pillman vs. Ricky Morton WCW Light Heavyweight Title (Pillman wins the vacant title, and shortly afterward, would go on to have a great mini-series with Liger for about six months after this)
The Halloween Phantom (Rick Rude) vs. Tom Zenk (your basic squash, but this match is history more than anything.....the Phantom unmasks to reveal Rick Rude, and Paul E. and Madusa come out to form the Dangerous Alliance....OF COURSE, Tony being an absolute complete and utter fucking moron, reveals the fact that it is Rude before he even unmasks as the commentators watch the replay of the match finisher)
Arn Anderson/Larry Zbysko vs. The Patriots WCW World Tag Team Match
Lex Luger vs. Ron Simmons WCW World Title Match Best 2/3 Falls

Gedo vs. Chris Jericho (what the fuck is Gedo doing in America.....only WCW would let the pestilence that is Gedo wrestle here)
Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Eddie Guerrero Mask vs. Cruiserweight Title ***** (this match leaped into my Top 5 of All Time when I saw this......I would give this match 10 stars if I could, but the scale only goes to 5. Nobody can say enough good things about this match.....for 15 minutes, both guys go full speed and hit EVERYTHING perfect)
Steve McMichael vs. Alex Wright (from greatness to shit, in the space of one match)
Disco Inferno vs. Jacquelyn (avoid this piece of shit at all costs)
Curt Hennig vs. Ric Flair
Scott Hall vs. Lex Luger
DDP vs. Randy Savage Las Vegas Death Match (after Hart Foundation vs. Austin, I think this was the fued of the year, but their matches earlier in the year were light years better than this one)
Hollywood Hogan vs. Roddy Piper Thunderdome Cage Match (do I need to write what I thought of this piece of shit)
