Just rewatched Halloween Havoc 95. Before his match with Zodiac, Savage hugged and kissed a very sexy lady. Do you think this was the girlfriend of the guy who ran into the ring and tried to attack Savage? Security was quick to get that guy out of there and the woman wasn’t seen on camera again for the rest of the card. Also, Heenan was hilarious this entire card. Him making fun of Okerlund singing at a Greek cafe while eating lamb chops had me roaring in laughter. And the entire time he was berating WCW production staff cause they couldn’t update him on what happened to The Giant after he fell off the roof was priceless. Easily vintage Brain on this PPV

Great coverage of this PPV. Heenan was on fire and was probably the best he ever was on commentary while at WCW. The Flair turn on Sting was priceless.

One of my favourite little things in wrestling history is that Hogan had such a set formula at this point that the monster truck match has a beat down and hulk up in it. I wish they went even further with it and one of the arms on the side of the truck started pointing at the giants truck.

Lol! That would have been awesome. And yes that was such a Hogan formula event.

Just finished watching the 10/30/95 Nitro. Nitro was such a better show than Raw at the time. Raw really didn’t get real good until March 97 when Bret turned heel and was the beginning of the opening 20 minute plus promo that is still in place today. Back in the fall of 95, even with a Hogan who no longer was over, WCW blew away the WWF in both television and PPV quality. And I absolutely love the horsemen of Flair, Arn, Pillman and Benoit. The last, great edition of the Horsemen

Glad to see you guys back doing the show. This, along with the classic WWF late 80’s show you do with Scott are my favorite shows on PTBN. The Horsemen in late 95 are great, especially with Flair feuding with Savage and Pillman causing havoc with the DOD and Orndorff. Benoit was a great addition and the Horsemen were never the same after Pillman leaves WCW in early 96.

Thank goodness this podcast is back. Will be listening tonight. Great timing as I’m reading the Brian Pillman book which coincides with these shows.
