World Championship Wrestling

[spaldoni]

Enforcers take advantage of the banged up Steiners and win the titles. With Rick out for a while it looks like Scott still has some back up 

Things are heating up between the Ex Rockers 

Pillman has rocked that TV title but now he's facing a bad man 

Vader's gaining some serious momentum 

Cool seeing the early stages of Stars and Stripes 

Damn! Sid made sure he got an advantage over Luger heading into this mysterious match at Havoc 

Speaking of Havoc, Sting vs. Taker has got to be one of the most anticipated matches in the Dawn's history 

 

[LastStopTour]

Marty's got a lot of anger going but is it enough to beat his ex-partner? This is one of those great things about fantasy booking - getting to see things you really never got to see in real life. Looking forward to this, though I have a feeling Marty is not going to like the outcome.

Weekend of October 17, 1991

Power Hour - Tony Schiavone & Jesse Ventura

We open up with Tony and Jesse going through the chaos from last weekend. We've got new WCW Tag Team Champions in Arn Anderson and Larry Zbyszko, Rick Steiner is out with a dislocated elbow, and Sid Vicious absolutely destroyed Lex Luger with a powerbomb on the floor! Jesse says he's got some major news concerning Halloween Havoc and the match Harley Race has been promising.

Jesse announces that the WCW Championship Committee has officially approved the CHAMBER OF HORRORS! This is going to be a massive steel cage surrounding the ring and ringside area. There will be coffins and all kinds of dangerous objects inside. All eight men will enter together and the first submission will end the match! No pinfalls, no disqualifications, no count-outs! Lex Luger, the Road Warriors, and El Gigante will face Sid Vicious, Meng, Abdullah the Butcher, and Cactus Jack! Jesse says he's never seen anything like this in WCW!

Harley Race comes out and he's smiling from ear to ear. He says Lex Luger made the biggest mistake of his career when he agreed to this match. Harley says he's spent months trying to end Luger's career and now WCW has given him the perfect opportunity to finish the job!

Ron Simmons defeated Skinner in a nice match. Simmons continues to move up the rankings and Jesse puts over how impressive he's been throughout 1991.

The Nasty Boys w/ Missy Hyatt defeated Kendall Windham & Johnny Ace. This was a pretty brutal match with Knobbs and Sags focusing on Kendall's arm. They're almost making a point of doing the same thing they did to Rick Steiner! Missy gets on the microphone afterward and says Scott Steiner can come looking for revenge all he wants... but he better remember what happened to his brother!

WAIT A SECOND... HERE COMES SCOTT STEINER! Scott comes out and he's absolutely furious! He's got a microphone and he says Rick is sitting at home with a dislocated elbow because of these two pieces of garbage! Scott says he's tired of hearing Missy run her mouth and he wants both of the Nasty Boys right now! Knobbs starts yelling back and tells Scott that if he wants a fight, he'll give him one!

Jesse Ventura gets between them and says we're not doing this right now! But he's got some news... ON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING... SCOTT STEINER WILL FACE BRIAN KNOBBS! Missy doesn't look too happy about that one! Scott says he doesn't care which one of them gets in the ring... he's going to make them pay for what they did to Rick!

William Regal w/ Davey Boy Smith defeated Paul Diamond with a submission. Regal looks very good here and Davey Boy is applauding him from ringside. Jesse wonders if Regal can handle himself when things get a little more physical.

Flyin Brian defeated Bob Holly in a non-title match. This was a fun one with Holly getting some offense before Brian takes over and finishes him off. Johnny B Badd and Teddy Long come out afterward. Badd says Brian can fly all he wants but at Halloween Havoc he's going to come crashing down! Brian invites him into the ring right now but Teddy Long says his man isn't giving anything away for free!

 

 

Main Event - Ricky Steamboat & Dustin Rhodes vs Rick Rude & Scott Hall w/ Paul E

This is a big-time main event for Power Hour and the crowd is really into it. Steamboat and Rude go right after one another while Dustin and Hall are continuing their own personal war. Hall is throwing Dustin around but Dustin keeps coming back and he's getting under Hall's skin. Steamboat gets the hot tag and he's cleaning house! He catches Rude with a big chop and then takes Hall down with an arm drag! This one is getting good!

The big moment comes when Dustin and Hall spill outside the ring and Hall throws Dustin into the barricade! Steamboat goes over to help and Rude catches him from behind! Back inside, Hall gets Dustin up and hits the FALLAWAY SLAM! 1...2...3! The Dangerous Alliance gets another big victory! Paul E is celebrating like they've just won another championship!

Tony and Jesse put over the fact that the Dangerous Alliance has been on an absolute roll. They've got the World Tag Team Championships and now Rude and Hall have beaten two of WCW's top stars!

 

 

World Championship Wrestling - Jim Ross & Bobby Heenan

We open up with Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan and they've got some major news concerning the WCW International Championship! Ross announces that Genichiro Tenryu is no longer with World Championship Wrestling and because of that, the International Championship was declared vacant. Last night at a WCW house show, the Great Muta faced Masa Saito to determine a new champion! Let's take a look!

WCW International Championship - The Great Muta vs Masa Saito

We see footage from Friday night and these two are having a hard-hitting contest. Saito is throwing Muta around and trying to keep him grounded but Muta continues to fight back. Saito goes for a big suplex but Muta counters... GREEN MIST! Saito is blinded! Muta goes up top... MOONSAULT! 1...2...3!!! THE GREAT MUTA IS THE NEW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION!

Back live, Muta comes out with Kensuke Sasuke and he's carrying the International Championship! Alexandra York comes out with Chono, Hase, and Saito and she is furious! York says that championship belongs to York International and Chono should have been the man competing for it! Jesse Ventura comes out and says he's got some news for Miss York... at Halloween Havoc, the Great Muta will defend the International Championship against MASA CHONO! Saito will be in Chono's corner and Sasuke will be in Muta's! The two men stare one another down and Muta raises the championship!

Vader defeated Stan Johnson in another brutal squash. Johnson tries to get some offense but Vader runs right through him! Vader hits a massive clothesline and then follows it up with the VADER BOMB! 1...2...3! Vader gets on the microphone afterward and says he's tired of beating guys who don't belong in the ring with him! He's in the WCW Top Ten and he wants some real competition!

The Patriot & Marcus Bagwell defeated Pat Tanaka & Paul Diamond in a fun tag team match. Bagwell gets caught in the wrong corner for a while before making the tag to the Patriot who comes in and cleans house! Bagwell eventually gets the pinfall and these two continue to look better every week.

Jim Ross announces that the Patriot and Marcus Bagwell have been named the number-one contenders to the WCW Tag Team Championship! This brings out Paul E with Arn Anderson and Larry Zbyszko! Arn says these two kids have been beating up nobodies for weeks and now they think they're ready for the Enforcers? Larry says they're going to learn what real professional wrestling looks like at Halloween Havoc! Ross makes it official... the Enforcers will defend the WCW Tag Team Championship against the Patriot and Marcus Bagwell!

Jushin Thunder Liger defeated Savio Vega in another exciting match. Liger is just on another level right now and he finishes Vega with a beautiful flying move. After the match, Hiro Hase comes out with Alexandra York and says he's tired of hearing about how great Liger is. He wants him at Halloween Havoc! Liger accepts and we've got another big match signed!

Jim Ross is standing by with the WCW Champion Sting! Ross asks him about the Undertaker and the strange footage we've been seeing over the last couple of weeks. Sting says he doesn't know what the Undertaker is building in that old wooden building and quite frankly he doesn't care! He says the Undertaker is big, he's dangerous, and he's earned his opportunity. But Sting says he's the WCW Champion for a reason! He says he's not going to spend the next two weeks hiding from the Deadman... he's going to spend them getting ready to beat him!

We then get another video of the Undertaker. He's back in that old wooden building and he's working on something. We can see pieces of wood being put together... nails being driven into the boards... but we still can't quite make out what he's building. Paul Bearer is standing in the background holding the urn. Nobody says a word.

Lex Luger defeated Mr. Hughes w/ Harley Race. Luger is still hurting from that powerbomb last weekend and Hughes goes right after his back. This is a pretty physical match but Luger eventually starts fighting back and catches Hughes with a big running forearm for the victory! Harley Race gets on the microphone afterward and says Lex better enjoy this one because Halloween Havoc is going to be the last night of his career! Sid Vicious comes out onto the entrance ramp and he's just smiling at Luger. Lex wants him to come down but Sid doesn't move. He just stands there laughing before heading to the back!

Johnny B Badd w/ Teddy Long defeated Van Hammer in a pretty interesting match. Hammer has the power advantage but Badd is using his speed and Teddy is doing everything he can to help his man. Hammer looks like he's going to put Badd away but Teddy distracts him and Badd catches him with the LEFT HOOK! 1...2...3! Badd gets the victory and Teddy says the Television Championship is coming home with them at Halloween Havoc!

We go to Jim Ross who is standing by with Marty Jannetty. Marty says he's been looking for Shawn Michaels for two weeks and he still doesn't understand what's going on. He says they were brothers... they traveled together... they won championships together... and now Shawn is attacking him every chance he gets! Marty says he wants Shawn to come out here and explain himself!

WAIT A SECOND... HERE COMES SHAWN MICHAELS!

Shawn comes out and he's got a microphone. He says Marty has been riding his coattails for years! He says everybody always talked about the Rockers like they were equals but Shawn was the one carrying that team! Marty says that's a bunch of bullshit and tells Shawn to get in the ring! Michaels laughs and says if Marty wants to fight him so badly... he'll see him at Halloween Havoc! Shawn says he's going to prove to everybody that Marty Jannetty was always the weak link! Marty tries to go after him but Michaels heads to the back! We've got another big match signed for Halloween Havoc!

Masa Chono & Hiro Hase w/ Alexandra York & Masa Saito defeated Bob Holly & Johnny Ace. Chono and Hase look tremendous here and they control most of the match. Chono finishes things off and afterward Alexandra York gets on the microphone. She says the Great Muta has stolen the International Championship from York International and at Halloween Havoc Chono is going to bring it back where it belongs! Chono takes the microphone and says very little... Muta... Halloween Havoc... that championship is mine!

Scott Steiner vs Brian Knobbs w/ Missy Hyatt & Jerry Sags

This one isn't going to be pretty and Jim Ross puts over that Scott Steiner has been waiting for this opportunity ever since the Nasty Boys attacked his brother! Knobbs comes out laughing with Missy and Sags but Scott doesn't wait around! He meets Knobbs in the aisle and starts throwing punches! The referee finally gets them into the ring and we've got ourselves a fight!

Knobbs tries to use his size and strength but Scott is throwing him all over the place! BIG BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! Knobbs rolls outside and Missy is screaming at him to get back in there! Sags tries to get involved but Scott catches him with a right hand! Back inside, Knobbs catches Scott coming through the ropes and starts hammering him down. He throws Scott shoulder-first into the ring post and now the Nasties are trying to take out another Steiner!

Scott fights back and hits a HUGE OVERHEAD SUPLEX! He's got Knobbs in trouble... WAIT A SECOND! SAGS IS IN THE RING! The referee calls for the bell! Scott Steiner wins by disqualification but now it's two-on-one! Knobbs and Sags are putting the boots to Scott! Missy is loving every second of this!

Scott manages to fight his way back to his feet and starts throwing punches at both men! Officials and agents come running down to separate them! Scott is still trying to get his hands on the Nasties as they retreat up the aisle! Jim Ross says this issue is nowhere near finished!

Main Event - The Enforcers w/ Paul E vs Davey Boy Smith & William Regal

This is a non-title match but it's a big one for the new WCW Tag Team Champions! Arn and Larry are working together like a well-oiled machine but Davey Boy and Regal aren't backing down! Regal is frustrating Larry with some technical wrestling and Davey Boy is throwing Arn around the ring! The crowd is getting behind Davey and Regal here!

Davey gets Arn up for the RUNNING POWERSLAM! WAIT A SECOND... Paul E is up on the apron! The referee goes over and Larry comes in from behind and nails Davey! Arn gets back to his feet... DDT! 1...2...3! THE ENFORCERS WIN!

Paul E is celebrating again and the Enforcers grab their championships! Wait a second... here come the Patriot and Marcus Bagwell! They stand on the entrance ramp and point toward the championships! Arn and Larry hold the belts up and tell them to come and get them! Jim Ross puts over the big championship match coming up at Halloween Havoc!

 

Main Event - Tony Schiavone & Eric Bischoff

Ron Simmons defeated Paul Diamond in a nice opening match. Simmons continues to look impressive and Tony puts over the fact that he's now ranked in the WCW Top Ten!

The Nasty Boys w/ Missy Hyatt defeated the State Patrol. The Nasties are still bragging about what happened to the Steiners and Missy says Scott should have learned his lesson on World Championship Wrestling!

Dustin Rhodes defeated Larry Zbyszko w/ Paul E after catching him with the bulldog! Scott Hall comes down during the match and tries to distract Dustin but it doesn't work! Hall charges into the ring afterward but Dustin gets out of there before Hall can get his hands on him!

Jushin Thunder Liger defeated Johnny Ace in another impressive match. Tony puts over that Liger will face Hiro Hase at Halloween Havoc!

Halloween Havoc Control Center - Eric Bischoff

We go to Eric Bischoff in the Halloween Havoc Control Center! Eric says we're just two weeks away from one of the biggest nights in WCW history!

Hughes and Meng eventually get control of Hawk and they're working him over in their corner. Meng is throwing those hard chops and Hughes is using his size to keep Hawk down! Animal is going crazy on the apron trying to get into the match!

Weekend of October 24

Power Hour - Tony Schiavone & Jesse Ventura

A fun filled hour with some good squash matches and big developments as we move towards Halloween Havoc.

Tenzan makes his WCW debut under the guise of Masa Chono, Hase, Saito, and Alexandra York. It is announced that he has been brought in to take out Kensuke Sasuke!

Van Hammer hits the Hammer Rocks on Steve Wright for the 3-count! 

Marcus Bagwell & The Patriot get a tag team win and look fresh going into their big match next weekend.

Boris Zhukov shows up out of nowhere and beats some guy named Mark Dixon

On his way to the back Boris bumps into Vader who’s coming out for his match… Vader removes the headdress to the delight of the crowd and looks like he might come to blows with Boris before officials come out.

The sad news for Phil Richards is that he has to face Vader after that and he just gets beaten the hell out of. Vader doesn’t appear to pull any punches and beats the shit out of him. A Powerbomb and then he goes to the corner for a VADER BOMB!

Main Event - Ricky Steamboat vs Arn Anderson - a solid 15-minute contest. They go almost the entire time limit. Larry Z comes out… then comes Dustin! This one breaks loose… Jesse hollers that we’ll see these four in a tag team match on WCW!

 

World Championship Wrestling - Jim Ross & Bobby Heenan

WCW opens with footage of the Undertaker in his wooden office… we see him sanding the wood…. Another clip… hammering the nails…. Another clip… putting on the latches… lastly… he goes over to the fire… pulls out a metal brand or something… and then he holds it up against the wood…. Smoke….fire… steam… the camera pans back… it isa  COFFIN… and on the front it says… “STING”

Marty Jannetty gets a nice win - we have an inset interview from Shawn Michaels who says there will be no tricks or treats at Halloween Havoc… just broken necks and cashed checks for the Heart Break Kid!

Ron Simmons gets a good win - Mr. Hughes and Harley Race are at ringside and watch on… Simmons with a nasty spinebuster gets the 3-count and then he looks out at Hughes and says he’s next!

El Gigante & The Road Warriors get a good six-man tag team win. The Road Warriors are still over but they are not what they once were. El Gigante is just a fun visual. 

Cactus Jack, Abdullah, and Meng are in the back messing with a cage while Race and Sid put over the Chamber of Horrors! This will be a WAR!

Davey Boy Smith w/ William Regal gets a good win over Savio Vega. Davey and Regal shake hands… it looks like these two are going to be something moving forward. 

Scott Steiner cuts a crazy promo on the Nasty Boys. He says he’s coming for blood at Halloween Havoc. If Rick can’t go… he’ll come by himself and get it done. Neither Nasty Boy is going to come out alive! 

Johnny B Badd w/ Teddy Long gets a win while Flyin Brian chimes in and lets Badd know that he’s been punched before but never knocked out and Halloween Havoc will be no different… you can’t hit what you can’t touch and when I am flying around the ring you’re going to see double before I dropkick you in the face!

Chono & Hase w/ Tenzan, Saito, & York get a tag team win. These two are primed and in great shape. 

We get a promo from Lex Luger with El Gigante and the Road Warriors… they talk about sacrifice and what the Chamber means… leaving everything in the ring and that’s exactly what they’re going to do!

MAIN EVENT
Dustin Rhodes & Ricky Steamboat vs Arn Anderson & Larry Z
What a fun tag team main event… there’s been a lot of talking tonight but this one is all about the wrestling and these four lay it all out. Paul E is nuts outside the ring as he keeps trying to get involved. Rude and Hall make their way out… and now here comes Patriot and Bagwell… before long it is an eight-man with everyone throwing bombs! Paul E pulls his men out and says at Halloween Havoc… there will bea  RECKONING! 

Sting comes out to a great ovation. He’s in the ring with Jim Ross. They put over next week’s Halloween Havoc. Sting says that he’s admitted he’s afraid but the FEAR is what is going to drive him. He says that Undertaker is bigger… but Sting is faster and he will use his speed. Everyone says I am the Underdog… but he beat a big man to win the title and he’ll beat another big man to keep it. He’s the champion for a reason and next week at Halloween Havoc…. LIGHTS GO OUT!

The Undertaker’s music hits the PA System… the arena is black… then a light stars to shine… 6 men in hooded cloaks walk out and they are wheeling a casket… then they sit it upright… it’s the casket from earlier… the one with Sting’s name on it. 

The crowd is in awe right now… the lights are dimmed to a point where you can still see Sting… he’s looking on… then the casket door opens and the UNDERTAKER IS INSIDE! He’s coming out… he’s coming for STING!

 

 

 

Main Event - Tony Schiavone & Eric Bischoff

Jushin Liger gets a fast paced win and flies around the ring.

MAIN EVENT - Davey Boy Smith defeated Skinner ina  fun 8-minute match!

The familiar WCW Control Center music begins as the Halloween Havoc logo fills the screen. We cut to Eric Bischoff standing in front of a large Halloween Havoc backdrop.

ERIC BISCHOFF: "Hello again, everybody! Eric Bischoff here with your WCW Halloween Havoc Control Center! Wrestling fans, the wait is almost over! Next Saturday night, October 31st, World Championship Wrestling presents HALLOWEEN HAVOC, coming to you LIVE from the UTC Arena in Chattanooga, Tennessee!

"And ladies and gentlemen, this is going to be an extraordinary night of professional wrestling! We begin with a special ninety-minute presentation, absolutely FREE on television, before moving into three full hours of Halloween Havoc, exclusively on pay-per-view! Fifteen matches in all, featuring the greatest wrestling stars from around the world, five championship contests, and one of the most dangerous matches ever conceived!"

The Halloween Havoc logo gives way to a graphic of Sting and the Undertaker.

"Let's begin with the match everyone is talking about. The WCW World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line when the champion, Sting, puts his title up against the undefeated and seemingly unstoppable Undertaker, accompanied by the mysterious Paul Bearer!

"Wrestling fans, you've seen the disturbing footage over the past several weeks. You've watched the Undertaker constructing something behind closed doors, and now we know exactly what it is! A wooden coffin, bearing the name of the World Heavyweight Champion!

"Sting has admitted that he fears the Undertaker, but he says that fear will motivate him to victory. The champion believes his speed and determination can overcome the Undertaker's tremendous size and strength. But can Sting withstand the Tombstone? Can anyone stop this man? We will find out at Halloween Havoc when the most coveted championship in professional wrestling hangs in the balance!"

Graphic: RICKY STEAMBOAT vs. RICK RUDE.

"The WCW United States Heavyweight Championship will also be defended as the champion, Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat, meets 'Ravishing' Rick Rude, accompanied by Paul E. Dangerously!

"These two men have been on a collision course for weeks. Steamboat has proven himself one of the finest technical wrestlers in the sport, but Rick Rude is determined to bring the United States Championship into the Dangerous Alliance. And with Paul E. Dangerously lurking at ringside, the Dragon had better be prepared for anything!"

Graphic: THE GREAT MUTA vs. MASA CHONO.

"The WCW International Heavyweight Championship will be decided in a tremendous confrontation between two of Japan's premier wrestling stars! The new champion, The Great Muta, accompanied by Kensuke Sasuke, will defend against Masa Chono, accompanied by Masa Saito!

"These men know one another extremely well, and this championship has already become the center of a bitter international rivalry. Muta captured the vacant championship from Masa Saito, but Chono believes that title rightfully belongs to him. Two outstanding competitors, one prestigious championship, and a tremendous amount of national pride!"

Graphic: THE ENFORCERS vs. THE PATRIOT & MARCUS BAGWELL.

"The WCW World Tag Team Championship will be at stake when Arn Anderson and Larry Zbyszko, the Enforcers, accompanied by Paul E. Dangerously, defend against the exciting young combination of The Patriot and Marcus Alexander Bagwell!

"Patriot and Bagwell have earned this championship opportunity, and they have looked impressive in recent weeks. But they're stepping into the ring with two of the most experienced and dangerous competitors in World Championship Wrestling. The Enforcers have already taken the championships from the Steiner Brothers, and they have absolutely no intention of surrendering them to these young challengers!"

Graphic: FLYIN' BRIAN vs. JOHNNY B. BADD.

"And the WCW World Television Championship will be on the line when 'Flyin' Brian Pillman defends against Johnny B. Badd, accompanied by Teddy Long!

"Johnny B. Badd has promised that his devastating left hand will end Pillman's championship reign. But Flyin' Brian says you can't knock out what you can't catch! Will the tremendous speed and aerial ability of the champion overcome the punching power of Johnny B. Badd? That's another championship confrontation coming your way at Halloween Havoc!"

The screen fills with a steel cage graphic. The words CHAMBER OF HORRORS appear.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, we come to a match unlike anything we've ever witnessed in World Championship Wrestling!

"THE CHAMBER OF HORRORS!

"On one side, Lex Luger, the Road Warriors, and El Gigante! On the other, Sid Vicious, Meng, Abdullah the Butcher, and Cactus Jack, accompanied by Harley Race!

"Eight men will enter an enormous steel enclosure surrounding the ring and ringside area! There will be no disqualifications, no count-outs, and no pinfalls! The only way to win is to force an opponent to submit!

"And wrestling fans, this is not an ordinary steel cage match. Coffins and weapons will be inside that enclosure, and all eight competitors will be fighting at the same time!

"Harley Race has promised a war, and Lex Luger and the Road Warriors have made it clear that they're prepared to sacrifice everything to settle this score! Eight men enter the Chamber of Horrors, but what condition will they be in when they leave?"

Graphic: THE STEINER BROTHERS vs. THE NASTY BOYS.

"One of the most personal rivalries in World Championship Wrestling will continue when Rick and Scott Steiner meet Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags, the Nasty Boys, accompanied by Missy Hyatt!

"Now, we should point out that Rick Steiner has been recovering from a serious elbow injury, and questions remain about his condition heading into Halloween Havoc. Scott Steiner has made it perfectly clear that whether his brother is ready or not, he intends to get his hands on the Nasty Boys!

"These two teams have absolutely no love lost between them, and I expect this one to be a wild confrontation!"

Graphic: DUSTIN RHODES vs. SCOTT HALL.

"Dustin Rhodes will go one-on-one with Scott Hall, accompanied by Paul E. Dangerously!

"Scott Hall has become one of the most imposing members of the Dangerous Alliance, and he's already scored a significant victory over Dustin Rhodes in tag team competition. But the young Rhodes has refused to back down, and he'll have an opportunity to settle the score with Hall at Halloween Havoc!"

Graphic: MARTY JANNETTY vs. SHAWN MICHAELS.

"Former partners collide when Marty Jannetty meets Shawn Michaels!

"The breakup of the Rockers has become one of the most bitter personal situations in professional wrestling. Shawn Michaels has promised that Halloween Havoc will bring no tricks and no treats, only broken necks and cashed checks! Marty Jannetty, meanwhile, is determined to show that he was every bit as important to the Rockers' success as his former partner!

"Friendship has given way to bitterness, and these two men will finally settle their differences inside the squared circle!"

Graphic: RON SIMMONS vs. MR. HUGHES.

"Ron Simmons will meet Mr. Hughes, accompanied by Harley Race!

"Simmons has been on a tremendous roll, and he made his intentions clear this weekend when he looked directly at Mr. Hughes and told him that he was next! But Hughes is a massive, dangerous competitor, and with Harley Race in his corner, this will be a tremendous test for Ron Simmons!"

The Halloween Havoc logo returns.

"And don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, our special ninety-minute television presentation before the pay-per-view begins! Six outstanding matches, and you can see every one of them absolutely FREE!"

Graphic: BIG VAN VADER vs. BORIS ZHUKOV.

"First, the monstrous Big Van Vader meets Boris Zhukov!

"These two nearly came to blows this weekend after Zhukov crossed paths with Vader on his way to the ring! Officials had to intervene, and now the two big men will settle matters at Halloween Havoc! You certainly don't want to miss this confrontation!"

Graphic: JUSHIN THUNDER LIGER vs. HIRO HASE.

"International wrestling action continues as the spectacular Jushin Thunder Liger meets Hiro Hase, accompanied by Alexandra York!

"Two of Japan's finest athletes, both capable of extraordinary things inside the wrestling ring! This could very well be one of the most exciting contests of the entire evening!"

Graphic: KENSUKE SASUKE vs. HIROYOSHI TENZAN.

"And another international confrontation will feature Kensuke Sasuke against the newest arrival in World Championship Wrestling, Hiroyoshi Tenzan!

"Tenzan made his WCW debut this weekend, brought into the promotion by Masa Chono, Masa Saito, Hiro Hase, and Alexandra York for one purpose: to eliminate Kensuke Sasuke! Now he'll get his opportunity at Halloween Havoc!"

Graphic: DAVEY BOY SMITH & WILLIAM REGAL vs. PAUL DIAMOND & PAT TANAKA.

"Van Hammer continues to impress with his tremendous power, but Diamond Dallas Page is determined to make a name for himself in World Championship Wrestling! Two very different personalities collide at Halloween Havoc!"

Graphic: THE MATCHES OF HALLOWEEN HAVOC.

"And finally, wrestling fans, let me remind you that this is an extraordinary night of professional wrestling! The World Heavyweight Championship, United States Championship, International Championship, World Tag Team Championship, and Television Championship will all be defended!

"Plus, the Chamber of Horrors, the Steiner Brothers against the Nasty Boys, Dustin Rhodes against Scott Hall, Marty Jannetty against Shawn Michaels, and Ron Simmons against Mr. Hughes!

"Fifteen matches! Ninety minutes of FREE television action followed by three hours LIVE on pay-per-view!

"SATURDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 31ST! HALLOWEEN HAVOC!"

"Next Saturday night, there will be nowhere left to hide.

"For the Halloween Havoc Control Center, I'm Eric Bischoff. We'll see you at Halloween Havoc!"

The Halloween Havoc logo fills the screen as the Control Center music plays.

You sure do know how to promote a card. Excellent job 

Sting vs. Taker is the match everybody always wanted IRL and now we're going to get it in our world. Love the build to this. Just having the eerie vignettes of Taker and the fired up promos from Sting was enough to make this a huge deal. 

I agree with AD, is Dawn of War ready for the Chamber of Horrors? With the participants involved, this is going to be insane

The battle of the Rockers is another What if. And now we get to watch this play out

I always thought WCW should've done a lot more with the Diamond Stud. Cool seeing him get the push he deserved

Tenyru leaving hurts but Muta and Chono are two guys that can go and will deliver 

The Dangerous Alliance is on a roll. Can Rude keep that going by winning more gold. 

Is Johnny B bad enough to put an end to Pillman's epic TV title reign 

I'm not sure Boris knows what he's dealing with. It's VADER time! 

We're in for an epic night of action on Halloween
