Posted October 17, 201311 yr comment_5567733 I'm crowd sourcing a top ten list for the best Halloween Havoc matches (topical of course) and would love everyone's help with nominations and subsequent discussion. Just a couple quick to get the discussion started: 1989 - Luger / Pillman 1997 - Misterio / Guerrero 1998 - DDP / Goldberg Which matches would make your list?
October 17, 201311 yr comment_5567736 1. Mysterio vs. Guerrero HH 97 2. Pillman vs. Luger HH 89 3. Steiners vs. Nasty Boys HH 90 4. Tommy Rich/ Ricky Morton vs. Midnight Express HH 90 5. Steve Austin vs. Dustin Rhodes HH 91 6. Vader vs. Cactus Jack HH 93 7. Savage vs. DDP HH 97 8. Goldberg vs. DDP HH 98 9. Doom vs. Arn/Flair HH 90 10. Chamber of Horrors (I'm only half kidding)

Chamber of Horrors (I'm only half kidding) The 1990 show really looks good. Four 15+ minute tag matches!
October 17, 201311 yr comment_5567739 Reckon everyone is thinking about this the wrong way. - Abby in the chair, CHAMBER OF HORRORS! - Spin the deal coal-miner's glove match of doom! - Giant vs. Hogan Sumo Monster truck match! - Age in the cage!

I'm thinking a best and worst of HH may be the ticket. Hard to not mention any of those.
October 17, 201311 yr comment_5567742 If memory serves, that Sumo Monster truck match is from the really weird, seldom talked about period with goodie Hogan in black without a moustache where he was a bit "darker" than the red and yellow version. Really really strange period for Hogan.
October 17, 201311 yr comment_5567743 Yeah that kicked that period into high gear Parv, I guess because from the guilt of sending The Giant plummeting from Cobo Hall. The next month is when he burned the observer.
October 17, 201311 yr Author comment_5567745 Charles mentioned the Regal/Davey Boy Smith TV Title match from '93 being exceptional (15 minute draw).
October 17, 201311 yr comment_5567747 It is; probably the best Davey Boy match I've ever seen. I remember being blown away by it a few years back.
October 17, 201311 yr comment_5567751 1. Mysterio vs. Guerrero HH 97 2. Pillman vs. Luger HH 89 3. Steiners vs. Nasty Boys HH 90 4. Tommy Rich/ Ricky Morton vs. Midnight Express HH 90 5. Steve Austin vs. Dustin Rhodes HH 91 6. Vader vs. Cactus Jack HH 93 7. Savage vs. DDP HH 97 8. Goldberg vs. DDP HH 98 9. Doom vs. Arn/Flair HH 90 10. Chamber of Horrors (I'm only half kidding) The bolded here were all in my top fifteen WCW matches ever for the Smarkschoice poll. Goldberg v. DDP wasn't far off
October 18, 201311 yr comment_5567783 Wasn't it at Havoc with the sting vs Sid match with the fake title change with the fake sting?
October 18, 201311 yr Author comment_5567784 Wasn't it at Havoc with the sting vs Sid match whit the fake title change with the fake sting? Yes 1990
October 18, 201311 yr comment_5567786 I'm with El Boricua on the Thunderdome Match from 1989 mainly for nostalgic purposes but I still really like that one. The rest of my picks have already been mentioned also - Luger vs Pillman, Nastys vs Steiners, Eddy vs Rey.
October 18, 201311 yr comment_5567789 It might not be people's best Havoc match but I'd throw out Hogan versus Flair from 1994 in cage match. Flair's career on the line, Sherri flying off the cage, the post match stuff. Plenty of discussion points.

I'm thinking a best and worst of HH may be the ticket. Hard to not mention any of those. Hogan vs. Warrior. ONE. WARRIOR. NATION.
October 18, 201311 yr comment_5567850 93 has 5 good to great matches. Besides some of the ones mentioned in other posts I would add Orndorff vs Steamboat, Austin vs Dustin and Rude vs Flair from that card.
October 18, 201311 yr Author comment_5567888 All awesome stuff. Lets keep the lists going - what about your top 5 Halloween Havoc shows?

Besides some of the ones mentioned in other posts I would add Orndorff vs Steamboat, Austin vs Dustin and Rude vs Flair from that card. You know what, I don't actually think I've seen the '93 show. I shall add it to the dreaded list of things I have to watch.
October 18, 201311 yr comment_5567895 I love the Halloween Phantom stuff from 91. It's one of the more iconic WCW moments to me. I also love the control centers leading up to the PPV when Solie is baffled why they are still promoting Windham on the heel side for Chamber of Horrors.
October 23, 201311 yr comment_5568489 Scott Steiner vs. Booker T - HH 2000 Really see the psycho Steiner kick into high gear here as he just fuckin destroys Booker T after the match on the way to winning the title a month later in a great underrated feud.
