KingBoggs33 Posted October 10 Author Report Share Posted October 10 WCW Presents: Halloween Havoc 10/19/1997 Las Vegas, Nevada (MGM Grand Arena) WCW World Title Match Hollywood Hogan© with Randy Savage vs Diamond Dallas Page with Lex Luger Storyline: For years, Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) has been fighting to prove himself as one of WCW’s top stars. Despite facing constant roadblocks and being overlooked, DDP’s hard work and resilience have finally paid off. At the previous PPV, DDP shocked the world by defeating Randy Savage, a cornerstone of the nWo, in a brutal and hard-fought match. This victory was a pivotal moment in DDP’s career, as it earned him the long-awaited opportunity to challenge Hollywood Hogan for the WCW World Title at Halloween Havoc. However, DDP knows that challenging Hogan means more than just a title match—he’s up against the entire nWo. Hogan has been using every dirty trick in the book to retain the championship, and with Randy Savage in his corner, DDP is facing overwhelming odds. Enter Lex Luger. Despite his own ambitions to challenge Hogan for the World Title, Luger sees the bigger picture. Luger knows that the nWo’s grip on WCW must be broken, and DDP stands as the best chance to dethrone Hogan. Reluctantly, Luger agrees to align with DDP, but tension simmers between the two. Luger believes he should be the one in the main event against Hogan, but for now, he's willing to stand by DDP’s side to help WCW regain control. This uneasy alliance adds a layer of complexity to the match, as Luger must put his personal aspirations aside for the greater good—at least for now. Meanwhile, Sting has been lurking in the shadows, the ultimate wild card in the war between WCW and the nWo. Having been absent from the ring for months, Sting watches over the battle for WCW from the rafters, biding his time to make his return. His presence looms large over the match, as no one knows when he might strike or who he will target. While DDP and Luger prepare for the battle of their lives against Hogan and Savage, everyone in the arena knows that Sting could appear at any moment, either to aid WCW or to pursue his own agenda. As Halloween Havoc 1997 approaches, the stakes have never been higher. For DDP, this is his moment to finally break into the main event scene and take down the nWo’s leader. With Luger’s help, DDP has a chance to pull off the unthinkable and bring the WCW World Title back home. But with the nWo’s devious tactics, Luger’s lingering jealousy, and the ever-present threat of Sting, nothing is certain in this high-stakes encounter. Grudge Match Bret Hart and Davey Boy Smith vs Ric Flair and Arn Anderson Storyline: After his dramatic arrival in WCW and his alignment with the Hart Foundation, Bret Hart made it clear that his ultimate goal was to become the WCW World Heavyweight Champion and finally restore honor and wrestling excellence to the company. However, as Bret Hart began his climb toward the top, he quickly found himself entangled in a bitter feud with none other than Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen. The Four Horsemen, led by Flair, see Bret’s arrival as a direct threat to their legacy. Flair has always prided himself on being the ultimate symbol of wrestling excellence in WCW, and the idea of Bret Hart surpassing him and taking the WCW World Title is something Flair cannot stand. Despite Bret’s intentions to focus on Hollywood Hogan and the nWo, Flair and his Horsemen—Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, and Jeff Jarrett—make it their mission to derail Bret’s journey to the top. The Horsemen, now fully embracing their roles as heels, launch a campaign against the Hart Foundation, attacking Bret, Davey Boy Smith, Owen Hart, and Test whenever the opportunity arises. Flair cuts scathing promos, accusing Bret of trying to "rewrite history" and take the spotlight that Flair believes still belongs to him. Flair’s jealousy and fear of being replaced as the face of wrestling excellence fuel this rivalry, with Flair declaring that WCW will always be Horsemen territory. As Bret’s quest for the WCW World Title becomes increasingly complicated by the Horsemen’s constant interference, he grows frustrated but remains determined. Bret, ever the honorable fighter, refuses to back down from Flair’s provocations, knowing that beating Flair and the Horsemen is the only way to truly clear his path to the World Title. Bret wants to prove that he is the new standard-bearer of technical wrestling, but Flair and his allies keep forcing the issue, turning what was once Bret’s title chase into a personal grudge. For Flair, it’s more than just about the WCW World Title—it’s about maintaining his status as the greatest of all time. He views Bret as an outsider trying to steal his legacy, and that drives Flair’s desire to humiliate Bret and the Hart Foundation. The Horsemen take every opportunity to interfere in Bret’s matches, preventing him from getting clean victories or advancing in the rankings toward a title shot against Hogan. With Davey Boy Smith, Owen Hart, and Test by his side, Bret rallies the Hart Foundation to push back against the Horsemen’s dirty tactics. The two factions engage in brutal brawls, leading to a heated confrontation at Halloween Havoc 1997, where Bret and Davey Boy face off against Ric Flair and Arn Anderson (who temporarily comes out of retirement to support his old friend). This feud isn’t just about titles—it’s about legacy and who truly represents the pinnacle of professional wrestling. The Hart Foundation, as faces, are fighting not only for Bret’s quest to become World Champion but also for the honor of wrestling itself. Meanwhile, the Four Horsemen, as heels, seek to maintain their control over WCW, refusing to let Bret or his family stake their claim. While this feud unfolds, Hollywood Hogan and the nWo are watching closely. They see the escalating war between the Hart Foundation and the Horsemen as an opportunity to divide WCW further, knowing that if Bret and Flair are focused on each other, it keeps the spotlight off the nWo’s domination of the World Title scene. Sting, lurking in the background, could be the wildcard who intervenes in this brewing war or lets it play out to weaken both factions. As Bret Hart battles against the Four Horsemen, his journey toward the WCW World Title becomes more challenging, but the war between these two legendary factions raises the stakes for everyone involved. Will Bret overcome Flair and the Horsemen’s interference to get back on track for a title shot against Hogan, or will Flair’s ego continue to stand in his way? WCW US Title Match Jeff Jarrett© vs Curt Hennig vs Owen Hart Storyline: The WCW United States Championship has become one of the most prestigious titles in WCW, with three of the company’s top stars battling for it: Jeff Jarrett, the reigning champion representing the Four Horsemen; Curt Hennig, the ruthless veteran aligned with the nWo; and Owen Hart, fighting for the honor of the Hart Foundation. This triple-threat match is more than just about the title—it’s a high-stakes battle between three powerful factions, with each wrestler determined to prove that their group is the dominant force in WCW. Jeff Jarrett, the current WCW US Champion, has embraced his role as the cocky, arrogant representative of the Four Horsemen. Under the guidance of Ric Flair, Jarrett has taken on the mantle of "the chosen one" within the Horsemen, using underhanded tactics and sheer opportunism to maintain his grip on the title. Jarrett sees himself as the future of the Horsemen and WCW, and he’s determined to bring even more prestige to his name by defeating two of the best in the business. Jarrett’s confidence borders on arrogance, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to walk out of Halloween Havoc 1997 with his title intact. Curt Hennig, representing the nWo, brings his technical expertise and ruthless nature to the match. Since joining the nWo, Hennig has positioned himself as a top player, not just in the faction but in WCW as a whole. For Hennig, winning the US Title means bringing more power to the nWo and keeping the belt under their control. Hennig’s mastery of wrestling psychology and his experience make him one of the most dangerous competitors in WCW. His alignment with the nWo has only made him more cutthroat, and he sees this match as an opportunity to cement his place as the dominant force in the company. Hennig’s relationship with the nWo gives him an edge, as the faction is known for using outside interference and underhanded tactics to ensure victory. But Hennig also believes he doesn’t need help—his technical prowess, perfected over years of in-ring experience, makes him a dangerous foe for anyone who stands in his way. Owen Hart, representing the Hart Foundation, is entering this match with something to prove. Owen has always felt the pressure of living up to the Hart family legacy, but he’s determined to make his own mark in WCW. His brother Bret Hart may be leading the Hart Foundation in their feud with the Four Horsemen, but Owen’s pursuit of the WCW US Title is deeply personal. Winning this championship would allow Owen to step out of Bret’s shadow and solidify his place as one of the top stars in WCW. Unlike Hennig and Jarrett, Owen fights with honor and integrity, but he’s no stranger to using his technical brilliance and speed to outsmart his opponents. He knows both Jarrett and Hennig are willing to use underhanded tactics, but Owen believes his wrestling ability can overcome their dirty tricks. Owen has dedicated himself to taking down Hennig and Jarrett, not just for the Hart Foundation, but to prove that wrestling excellence still matters in a landscape dominated by factions and betrayals. This match is a battleground for faction pride. With Jarrett representing the Four Horsemen, Hennig carrying the flag for the nWo, and Owen Hart fighting for the Hart Foundation, the stakes go beyond the US Title itself. Each faction has been jostling for control in WCW, and this match will determine which group holds one of the most coveted titles in the company. The outcome will have ripple effects throughout WCW, as the winning faction will gain further momentum in the war for WCW’s soul. Singles Match Dustin Rhodes vs Triple H Storyline: At War Games, the wrestling world was shaken when Triple H turned on his allies, the Four Horsemen, and aligned himself with the nWo. In the closing moments of the match, Triple H, once seen as a rising star within the Horsemen, shockingly attacked Ric Flair, leaving the Horsemen outnumbered and allowing the nWo to secure the victory. Triple H’s defection marked a major power shift, as the nWo gained a new, younger, and calculating member to replace the void left by the departing Outsiders. After his betrayal, Triple H explained that aligning with the Horsemen was never his true goal—he saw them as outdated and clinging to a legacy that no longer had a place in modern wrestling. Triple H, always a strategist, saw the nWo as the future and believed that joining forces with Hollywood Hogan and the nWo’s reign would elevate his career to new heights. He declared that the nWo represented true dominance, and he would no longer be held back by Flair's ego or the Horsemen’s need to relive their glory days. While Triple H’s betrayal of the Horsemen grabbed headlines, it also put him in the crosshairs of Dustin Rhodes. Dustin, a proud WCW loyalist who has always fought to protect the company from the nWo’s takeover, saw Triple H’s actions as a personal affront. Dustin, who prides himself on family legacy and honor, could not stand to watch Triple H turn his back on WCW, and their paths soon collided. Dustin, disgusted by Triple H’s willingness to betray his allies for power, has vowed to make him pay for aligning with the nWo. Their feud is not just about personal differences—it’s about the very soul of WCW. Dustin, representing the traditional values of loyalty and fighting for what’s right, stands in direct opposition to Triple H’s selfish ambition and thirst for control. The feud between Dustin Rhodes and Triple H is a battle of ideals as much as it is a physical contest. Dustin believes in the spirit of WCW and the importance of family, while Triple H has embraced the nWo’s "survival of the fittest" mentality. Their matches have been brutal, with neither man willing to back down. Jake "The Snake" Roberts, who manages several nWo members, including Mike Awesome, has also become involved, further fueling the intensity between Triple H and Rhodes by helping the nWo gain the upper hand in some of their encounters. Their rivalry is set to come to a head at Halloween Havoc 1997, where the two will face off in a high-stakes grudge match. For Dustin, this is about defending the honor of WCW and exposing Triple H for the traitor he is. For Triple H, it’s about proving that aligning with the nWo was the right move, and that he can overpower anyone who stands in his way. As their feud continues, the WCW audience is deeply invested in the outcome, with Dustin emerging as one of WCW’s most passionate defenders against the nWo’s domination. Meanwhile, Triple H, now fully embracing his role as a villain, is determined to crush Rhodes and further cement his place as one of the nWo’s key players. WCW TV Title Match Disco Inferno© vs Chris Jericho Storyline: Disco Inferno has surprisingly become a fan favorite over the past few months, despite his flashy, dance-centric persona. The fans have rallied behind his resilience and underdog spirit as he continues to defy expectations and retain his WCW TV Title. Disco's carefree and entertaining style has made him a beloved champion, and he’s embraced the fans’ support, evolving from a comedic act to a respected competitor. On the other hand, Chris Jericho has grown increasingly frustrated with the attention Disco has been receiving. Jericho, now fully embracing his heel persona, believes that he deserves the spotlight and the TV Title. He views Disco as a joke and feels the fans are backing the wrong man. Jericho has been mocking Disco's dancing and his connection with the crowd, portraying himself as a superior athlete and technician. Jericho’s arrogance has made him one of the most despised wrestlers in WCW, as he continuously belittles Disco and the fans. As a result, the crowd is firmly behind Disco Inferno, cheering him on as he prepares to defend his title against Jericho’s ruthless ambition. This match will be a battle of Disco’s heart and determination versus Jericho’s technical skill and dirty tactics. WCW Tag Team Title Match The Steiner Brothers© vs Wrath and Mortis with Jake "The Snake" Roberts Storyline: The Steiner Brothers have been dominant champions, using their blend of technical wrestling and sheer power to reign atop the WCW Tag Team Division. However, a new threat has emerged in the form of the dark and dangerous team of Wrath and Mortis, who are now under the guidance of the cunning and manipulative Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Roberts, known for his psychological warfare and mind games, has taken Wrath and Mortis under his wing, molding them into a deadly force. With Jake's influence, the team has been on a path of destruction, systematically dismantling their opponents while Roberts weaves his manipulative tactics from ringside. Jake's cold, calculated promos have left the Steiner Brothers on edge, as they know he’s always thinking three steps ahead. The Steiners know they are up against more than just a physically imposing team in Wrath and Mortis—they are also battling the sinister mind of Jake Roberts. This match will be a war between the brute strength and technical expertise of the Steiners versus the unorthodox, brutal style of Wrath and Mortis, all while Jake Roberts looks to tip the scales in favor of his dark protégés. The Steiners will have to fight not only to retain their titles but also to survive the mental and physical assault from their challengers and their twisted manager. WCW Cruiserweight Title Match Title vs Mask Eddie Guerrero© vs Rey Mysterio Jr. Storyline: The rivalry between Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio Jr. has reached a boiling point, with Eddie, the reigning WCW Cruiserweight Champion, constantly disrespecting Rey and questioning his heart. In a desperate bid to prove his worth and regain honor, Rey Mysterio agrees to put his mask on the line in a Title vs. Mask Match. For Rey, his mask is more than just part of his persona—it’s a symbol of his heritage and pride. Losing it would be a devastating blow. Eddie, known for his technical mastery and ruthless tactics, sees this as the ultimate opportunity to humiliate Rey and solidify his dominance in the cruiserweight division. The stakes couldn't be higher as these two legendary high-flyers clash in what promises to be a fast-paced, emotionally charged match. Tag Team Match The Legion of Doom vs Edge and Christian Storyline: The Legion of Doom (Hawk and Animal) is one of the most legendary tag teams in professional wrestling history, and they’ve made it clear they’re not ready to be pushed aside by the younger generation. Edge and Christian, two rising stars in WCW, have set their sights on making a name for themselves by taking down the veterans. Edge and Christian see this match as their opportunity to prove that they belong at the top of the tag team division, while the Legion of Doom is determined to teach the rookies a lesson in toughness and experience. The clash between the old guard and the new generation will test both teams' mettle and could set the course for the future of the tag division. This is the backstory for HH, but these are the other stories going around WCW. Goldberg’s Winning Streak Storyline: As 1997 progressed, WCW fans began to take notice of a dominant new force in the company: Bill Goldberg. Originally debuting with little fanfare, Goldberg quickly began racking up victories in devastating fashion, defeating opponents in mere minutes with his explosive combination of power, speed, and aggression. His signature moves, like the Spear and Jackhammer, quickly became fan favorites, and his relentless, no-nonsense style resonated with the WCW audience. By mid-1997, Goldberg’s undefeated streak became one of the most talked-about elements in WCW. Match after match, Goldberg plowed through established stars and rookies alike, building an aura of invincibility. WCW management and Commissioner Dusty Rhodes began promoting Goldberg’s undefeated record, officially recognizing the streak, which only added to his growing mystique. While factions like the nWo, the Hart Foundation, and the Four Horsemen waged war over control of WCW, Goldberg quietly but steadily rose through the ranks, refusing to get involved in politics or alliances. His only goal was victory, and he was unstoppable. Goldberg’s streak soon became a source of tension among WCW’s top stars, with wrestlers from all corners of the company wanting to be the one to end his undefeated run. As the streak grew, so did the challenges. Goldberg began defeating bigger names, including mid-card stars like Hugh Morris and Billy Kidman, and even taking out powerhouses like Mike Enos and Scott Norton. With every victory, Goldberg’s momentum grew. By the time Halloween Havoc 1997 rolled around, Goldberg had amassed an impressive record, firmly establishing himself as the next big thing in WCW. Although not involved in the faction warfare that was tearing WCW apart, Goldberg’s streak made him a looming threat for the future. Wrestlers in every faction, including the nWo and the Horsemen, were beginning to realize that Goldberg could soon set his sights on the biggest prizes in WCW. Goldberg’s rise was inevitable, and fans began chanting his name as they awaited his eventual challenge for the WCW World Title. His path of destruction showed no signs of slowing down, and his undefeated streak became one of the most exciting stories in professional wrestling. Roddy Piper’s Crisis Storyline: For the past year, Roddy Piper has been one of the most vocal and determined opponents of the nWo. He fought tooth and nail against Hollywood Hogan and his army of chaos, refusing to back down from the challenge of taking the fight to the nWo. But despite his best efforts, Piper has found himself outnumbered, outmaneuvered, and unable to truly dent the nWo’s grip on WCW. The brutal battles with Hogan, Randy Savage, and the nWo’s enforcers have taken a physical toll on the "Hot Rod." As Halloween Havoc 1997 approaches, Piper begins to show signs of doubt. His legendary toughness and defiance seem to be cracking under the weight of WCW’s ongoing war with the nWo. Week after week, Piper cuts increasingly somber promos, reflecting on his long career and his many battles. While he has always been the one to fight uphill battles, Piper starts to wonder aloud if he can still be the man WCW needs to fight against the nWo. The Rise of WCW's Cruiserweight Division: Winning Fans Worldwide Storyline: Throughout 1997, WCW’s Cruiserweight Division has become one of the most thrilling attractions, captivating audiences with fast-paced, high-flying action.

Whether opening the night or being the thrilling middle card highlight, the Cruiserweights are now seen as one of the most important parts of WCW’s programming, drawing in a broader and younger audience. At the heart of the division is Eddie Guerrero, who has redefined what it means to be a champion in WCW.

KingBoggs33 Posted October 22 Author Report Share Posted October 22 OOC: This is posted early as it's my wedding anniversary tomorrow and I have plans this weekend. So it's posted early "Welcome to Halloween Havoc 1997, where the night is dark, the stakes are high, and chaos reigns supreme! In the shadow of the eerie Las Vegas night, the most terrifying rivalries in WCW will explode under the lights of the MGM Grand Arena. The nWo has cast a sinister spell over WCW, with Hollywood Hogan holding the WCW World Title in his iron grip. But tonight, Diamond Dallas Page steps into the haunted battleground, with Lex Luger by his side, determined to finally bring down the monstrous force of Hogan and the nWo. Meanwhile, the Four Horsemen, led by the vengeful Ric Flair, are ready to unleash hell on the Hart Foundation, and in the shadows, Sting lurks like a specter, ready to strike at any moment. Beware, for no one is safe tonight! In the depths of this Halloween night, the stakes couldn’t be higher—Eddie Guerrero risks his gold and Rey Mysterio Jr. risks his very identity in a Title vs. Mask match that will electrify the skies.

With every match a potential nightmare, the monsters of WCW, both new and old, prepare for battle. This is no ordinary night—tonight, legends will rise, and others will fall into the abyss. Welcome to the most dangerous night of the year… Welcome to Halloween Havoc!" WCW Presents: Halloween Havoc 10/26/1997 Las Vegas, Nevada (MGM Grand Arena) Commentary: Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan and Mike Tenay Tag Team Match The Legion of Doom vs Edge and Christian {The atmosphere inside the MGM Grand Arena is electric as the iconic music of the Legion of Doom hits, sending the crowd into a frenzy. The legendary team, known for their brute strength and dominance, marches to the ring, ready to dismantle the young upstarts, Edge and Christian, who are hungry to make their mark in WCW. The veteran duo stands tall, glaring at their opponents, who have everything to prove. Edge and Christian, known for their agility and craftiness, step into the ring, fully aware that they are the underdogs tonight. But they aren’t here to just survive they’re here to shock the world. As the bell rings, it’s clear the energy is different; there’s an aura of unpredictability hanging over the arena. Hawk starts the match, immediately overpowering Christian with thunderous punches and tossing him around the ring like a ragdoll. The Legion of Doom quickly establish their dominance, using their unmatched power to keep Christian grounded. With the crowd chanting "LOD! LOD!", Hawk tags in Animal, and they deliver a devastating double shoulder block, sending Christian sprawling across the mat. However, as the match progresses, Edge finds a way to get in the ring, using his speed to avoid Animal’s attacks and targeting his legs to slow him down. Despite Edge and Christian's efforts, Animal’s strength is overwhelming. A quick tag brings Hawk back in, and it looks like the Legion of Doom is ready to finish things off. The veterans set up for their signature Doomsday Device, but in a surprising twist, Christian ducks out of the way at the last second, causing Hawk to collide awkwardly with Animal! The miscommunication between Hawk and Animal rattles the veterans for just a moment—just long enough for Edge to capitalize. Sensing an opportunity, Edge quickly hits Animal with a surprise Downward Spiral! The impact stuns the crowd, but no one expects what happens next. Edge hooks the leg, and with Christian holding Hawk back, the referee counts 1……2……3!!!! Edge pins Animal! Winners by Pin-Fall Edge and Christian! The arena is stunned into silence for a brief moment before erupting in shock. The camera pans to the faces of Edge and Christian, both in disbelief at what just happened. They’ve pulled off the unthinkable—a shocking upset over the legendary Legion of Doom. Edge and Christian quickly slide out of the ring, celebrating their victory as the commentators go wild, calling it one of the biggest upsets in WCW history. In the ring, Hawk and Animal exchange frustrated glances, the miscommunication weighing on them. The Legion of Doom, though still respected legends, now have a blemish on their record thanks to the hungry young team of Edge and Christian, who have just skyrocketed their status in the WCW tag division with this monumental victory. The shocking upset sets the tone for the night, as the young and rising stars of WCW prove that no legend is safe on this Halloween night! The camera cuts to the backstage office of Dusty Rhodes, the WCW Commissioner, as he leans back in his chair, a grin on his face. Dusty Rhodes: "Tonight, baby, it’s all on the line! Halloween Havoc is gonna be a night of blood, sweat, and glory! Titles up for grabs, grudges to be settled, and by the end of this night, careers will be changed forever!" The door suddenly swings open, and Triple H walks in, smirking. The crowd watching on the screen boos as the nWo’s latest member steps in, clearly unfazed by Dusty’s enthusiasm. Triple H: "Look at you, Dusty. Once the ‘American Dream,’ now just another suit. You can hype this show all you want, but tonight isn’t about WCW—it’s about power, and we both know the nWo holds all of it." Dusty stands, stepping toward Triple H, eyes locked. Dusty Rhodes: "You might think you got power with the nWo, boy, but power can slip through your fingers real quick. You go out there and do your thing with Dustin, but don’t forget—this is still my house. And I’ve seen men like you come and go." Triple H: "We’ll see about that. Tonight, when I leave Dustin in the dust, you’ll know who’s running things around here." Triple H smirks and turns to leave. Dusty watches him go, a fire in his eyes. Dusty Rhodes (muttering): "Let’s see who’s left standin' by the end of the night, son." The camera fades as Dusty stares after him, ready for the chaos to unfold. WCW TV Title Match Disco Inferno© vs Chris Benoit The fans are solidly behind Disco Inferno, the unlikely underdog champion, as he steps into the ring, ready to defend his WCW TV Title. Despite his fun-loving persona, Disco has proven to be a resilient champion. His opponent, the intense and focused Chris Benoit, wastes no time as the bell rings, immediately taking control of the match with his signature aggressive offense. Benoit’s mean streak is on full display as he locks up with Disco, overpowering him with stiff forearm strikes and vicious chops. The crowd rallies behind Disco, but Benoit continues to methodically break him down with a series of German suplexes, leaving the champion gasping for air. Disco tries to mount a quick comeback, hitting Benoit with a swinging neckbreaker that gets the crowd fired up, but Benoit recovers quickly, cutting off his momentum with a brutal clothesline. With Disco struggling to regain his footing, Benoit shows no mercy. He throws Disco hard into the turnbuckle, following up with a punishing series of strikes that leave the champion reeling. Despite being outmatched, Disco refuses to stay down, managing to hit a desperation DDT that buys him a moment of breathing room. The fans cheer him on as he climbs to the top rope, looking for The Last Dance. But Benoit catches him, charging into the corner and delivering a devastating superplex that takes the wind out of Disco. Seizing the opportunity, Benoit locks in the Crippler Crossface in the center of the ring. Disco struggles, reaching for the ropes, but Benoit tightens his grip, and the champion has no choice but to tap out.

Bret Hart steps to the front, holding a microphone, the determined expression on his face setting the tone. Bret Hart: "Tonight at Halloween Havoc, it’s about pride, it’s about legacy, and it’s about doing what we came here to do: fight for what’s right and remind everyone what real wrestling looks like. Me and the British Bulldog, Davey Boy Smith, are stepping into the ring against two men who’ve made it their mission to hold WCW hostage—Ric Flair and Arn Anderson. Two guys who’ve spent more time trying to keep their legacy intact than earning it the right way." Bret adjusts his leather jacket as Davey Boy, standing beside him, nods in agreement, arms crossed in defiance. Bret Hart: "Ric Flair—you’ve tried everything to stop me. You couldn’t stand the thought of someone coming in and proving that you’re not the man you think you are. You see, Flair, we didn’t come to WCW to play politics or stroke egos—we came here to show that the Hart Foundation is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. And tonight, Davey and I are going to finish what you started." Davey Boy steps forward, a scowl etched across his face. Davey Boy Smith: "Arn Anderson, you’re comin’ out of retirement just to try and prove that you’ve still got it. But let me tell you something—when you step in that ring with me, you’re gonna wish you stayed out of it. You and Flair are relics of the past, and tonight, we’re gonna show you that the future belongs to the Hart Foundation." Owen Hart, visibly pumped for his match, steps to the mic next, his energy brimming. Owen Hart: "And I’ve got a little business of my own to take care of. Curt Hennig and Jeff Jarrett? You two better be ready, ‘cause I’m not just coming for the win—I’m coming for that US Title! The Hart Foundation’s walking out of here with gold tonight, and if you two nWo and Horsemen clowns think you’re gonna stop me, you’ve got another thing coming!" Test, the powerhouse of the group, claps a hand on Owen’s shoulder, hyping him up further as the team’s energy builds. Bret Hart steps back in, calm and collected, but his voice carries a sharper edge. Bret Hart: "Flair, once I’m done with you tonight—and believe me, I will be done with you—I’ve got my sights set on something bigger. You see, I didn’t come to WCW just to wrestle. I came here to be the World Heavyweight Champion. So Hogan, DDP, whoever walks out of tonight’s main event with that title... know this: once I finish with Ric Flair and his Four Horsemen, I’m coming for the WCW World Title. And when I get my shot, it’s not a matter of if—I will become the champion." Bret lowers the microphone as the camera zooms in on his determined expression, the intensity radiating from him and his team. Bret Hart: "The Hart Foundation isn’t just here to play the game. We’re here to win."

No jokes, no gimmicks—just the best wrestler in the world showing exactly why the TV Title belongs with the Horsemen!" Chris Benoit: "Disco Inferno thought he could dance his way past me, but I made sure he didn’t walk out with anything but regret. I told you I wasn’t here to play around. Now, I’ve got this TV Title, and believe me when I say it—this is just the beginning. Anyone who steps in that ring with me is getting broken." Benoit stares into the camera with a stone-cold expression, clutching the TV Title tight. Jeff Jarrett steps forward, adjusting his championship belt over his shoulder with a cocky smirk. Jeff Jarrett: "And now it’s my turn. Owen Hart, Curt Hennig—you boys are stepping into the wrong ring tonight. This US Title isn’t goin’ anywhere. I don’t care if you’re riding with the nWo or the Hart Foundation, you’re both in for a rough night because the Horsemen? We don’t lose. We thrive under pressure." Dean Malenko, calm and methodical, chimes in next. Dean Malenko: "Tonight’s not just another night—it’s a reminder. A reminder to everyone in that locker room that the Horsemen don’t just survive. We dominate." Arn Anderson, with a quiet but intimidating tone, speaks up. Arn Anderson: "Bret Hart, Davey Boy Smith—you brought this fight on yourselves. And tonight, when Flair and I step into that ring, we’re gonna finish what you started. The Horsemen don’t forget, and we sure as hell don’t forgive." Ric Flair takes center stage, his signature grin widening as he works the camera. Ric Flair: "Bret Hart—you’re a great wrestler, but you picked the wrong fight. Tonight, me and Double-A are gonna remind you and Davey Boy exactly why the Four Horsemen run this place! And when the dust settles, Bret, you can take your loss like a man. Because once we’re done with you, you better be ready to step aside. This is Horsemen territory, pal—always has been, always will be! Whoooo!" Flair pauses, smirking before dropping his final line. Ric Flair: "And if you think you’re headin’ for the World Title after tonight, Bret? Think again. That title belongs with the Horsemen." The Horsemen flash their signature four-finger pose, the confidence radiating off each man.

The crowd roars as Malenko quickly transitions into the Texas Cloverleaf, wrenching Jericho’s lower back. Jericho struggles toward the ropes, but Malenko drags him back to the center of the ring, applying even more pressure. After an agonizing few moments, Jericho has no choice but to tap out! Winner: Dean Malenko by Submission As the crowd cheers for Malenko’s hard-fought victory, Jericho rolls out of the ring, clutching his back and throwing a fit. He kicks the steel steps, yelling at the referee, “That was a fast count! I didn’t tap! This whole thing is rigged!” He grabs a steel chair, slams it against the barricade, and paces around the ringside area, throwing his arms up in frustration. “This is bull! I’m the Lionheart! I’m the future of this business!” Jericho screams as the fans boo him mercilessly. Jericho then snatches a camera from a ringside photographer and yells directly into the lens, “You’re all gonna regret this! I’m better than Malenko, better than all these idiots! You’ll see!” Before the referees can stop him, Jericho flips over the timekeeper’s table in a fit of rage. Malenko watches calmly from the ring, shaking his head, as Jericho storms backstage, throwing anything in his path, swearing revenge on Malenko and WCW.

Hollywood Hogan: "Well, well, well... here we are, brothers! Halloween Havoc is nWo territory, and once again, Hollywood Hogan is standing here on top, holdin’ the WCW World Title where it belongs! DDP, you might’ve clawed your way to a shot at the gold, but tonight, brother, you’re just another name on my hit list. When I walk into that ring, I walk out the champ—like always. And if you think Luger can save you? Ha! Both of you can hit the showers when I’m done!" Hogan strokes his mustache with a grin as Randy Savage steps in, eyes wide with intensity. Randy Savage: "Ooooh yeah! DDP, last month you got lucky, brother. But tonight? Hogan’s takin’ care of business, and I’ll be there every step of the way! Luger, don’t even think about stickin’ your nose in—'cause tonight, we’re gonna bury the both of ya! Dig it?!" Curt Hennig, adjusting his leather nWo vest, leans forward with a cocky grin. Curt Hennig: "And let’s not forget about the US Title. Owen Hart, Jeff Jarrett—you two think you’ve got what it takes to run with the nWo? Jarrett, you talk about being a Horseman, but you don’t belong in the same ring as me. And Owen Hart? Better stick to playing second fiddle to big brother Bret, because after tonight, I’m walking out with that title, and neither of you can stop me." Triple H steps forward, grinning smugly, clearly pleased with his earlier victory. Triple H: "Dustin Rhodes? Consider that business handled. I told you that legacy means nothing to me, and now? I proved it. You fought, you gave it your best—but in the end, I planted you right in the middle of that ring with the Pedigree, just like I said I would. The Rhodes name is done... and I’m only just getting started." Mike Awesome cracks his knuckles, ready to unleash more destruction, while Jake “The Snake” Roberts smirks, ever the puppet master behind the nWo’s plans. He steps to the front to close things out. Jake “The Snake” Roberts: "Ladies and gentlemen, you’re looking at the future of professional wrestling. The nWo holds the power, the titles, and the company in the palm of our hands!

Hogan, with the World Title raised high, gives a cocky grin as the rest of the group flashes the nWo hand signal. Hollywood Hogan: "So DDP, Bret, Sting—whoever thinks they’re next in line? You better think again, brother. 'Cause tonight, the nWo is just... too sweet!"

The camera cuts to the backstage area where Diamond Dallas Page and Lex Luger stand side-by-side, moments away from the biggest match of DDP’s career. DDP, full of energy and focus, adjusts his taped fists, ready to finally get his shot at Hollywood Hogan and the WCW World Title. Luger stands beside him, arms crossed, his expression calm but with an edge—something brewing just beneath the surface. Diamond Dallas Page: "Tonight, it’s time, baby! It’s the biggest night of my career, the biggest match of my life. I’ve clawed my way to the top, took down Savage, and now I finally get what I earned—a shot at Hollywood Hogan and that World Heavyweight Championship. This ain’t just about me, though—this is about WCW, this is about every guy in that locker room who’s had to watch the nWo run wild. Tonight, we take it back." DDP slaps Luger on the shoulder, trying to hype him up. Luger offers a small grin, but it’s restrained, his eyes flickering with something more—resentment, maybe jealousy. Lex Luger: "Yeah... you earned it, DDP. No question. But let’s not forget—when Hogan’s been running roughshod, I was one of the first to stand up to him. I’ve been fighting the nWo since day one, night after night, taking the hits. And if anyone deserves to be in that match tonight, it’s me. But... here we are." DDP notices the shift in Luger’s tone, tilting his head slightly, but stays upbeat, trying to keep things cool. Diamond Dallas Page: "Hey man, I get it. I know what you’ve been through, and I know how much you want that shot. But this isn’t about us, it’s about takin’ Hogan down. And tonight, with you in my corner, we’ve got him exactly where we want him. We do this together—Hogan falls, and WCW wins." Luger nods, but the tension lingers. He glances toward the camera, then back at DDP, his jaw tightening just slightly as if weighing his words carefully. Lex Luger: "You’re right. Tonight, it’s about Hogan... but make no mistake, DDP—when this is over, when we get that belt off Hogan, I’m coming for what I deserve. I’ve been chasing that title for a long time, and I won’t be standing in anyone’s corner for long. Not even yours." The moment is thick with tension now. DDP’s smile fades just a little, the reality of Luger’s words sinking in. For a second, they lock eyes—two allies, two competitors, both with their ambitions. Diamond Dallas Page: "I hear ya, man. But let’s take it one step at a time. First, we finish Hogan tonight. And after that? I’ll be ready for whoever’s next." They exchange a firm but tense handshake. Luger holds onto DDP’s hand a little longer than necessary, staring him down before finally letting go and walking off-camera. DDP watches him leave, a small flicker of concern crossing his face before he shakes it off, cracking his neck and focusing back on the task at hand. The camera fades out, leaving the sense that while the mission tonight is clear, the storm brewing between these two is far from over.

After several minutes of high-octane action, the Horsemen manage to isolate Davey Boy, cutting the ring in half. Anderson works over Davey's left leg, softening him up for the dreaded Figure-Four Leglock. Flair tags in and does just that, slapping on the hold in the middle of the ring. Davey writhes in agony but refuses to quit. The crowd rallies behind him, and with a burst of strength, Davey reverses the Figure-Four, sending Flair scrambling to tag Anderson. Just as Anderson charges, Davey lunges and makes the hot tag to Bret Hart! The crowd erupts as Bret enters, fists flying. He unloads on Anderson and Flair with sharp right hands, clotheslines, and a beautiful Russian leg sweep. Flair rolls to the outside, leaving Anderson alone to fend off a furious Bret. Hart goes on the attack, driving Anderson into the corner and smashing his sternum with a running clothesline.

Flair desperately tries to break free from Davey’s grip, but the British Bulldog pins Flair’s arms behind his back, forcing him to watch helplessly. "Come on, Ric! Help me!" Anderson cries out in agony, his hand shaking violently as he fights the inevitable. Flair struggles with all his might but can't break free from Davey's iron grasp. The crowd is roaring as Bret wrenches back even harder, the intensity visible on his face. With nowhere to go, his pride shattered, and Flair powerless to intervene, Arn Anderson taps out to the Sharpshooter. Winners: Bret Hart and Davey Boy Smith by Submission As the bell rings, Bret refuses to release the hold, glaring directly at Flair, making a statement. Davey finally lets go of Flair, shoving him to the mat like a discarded puppet.

The fans erupt in thunderous cheers as Buffer raises his microphone dramatically. Michael Buffer: "Then... for the thousands in attendance... and the millions watching around the world... LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!" The crowd explodes as Buffer continues, his voice filled with intensity and precision. Michael Buffer: "Introducing first... the challenger! Accompanied to the ring by 'The Total Package' Lex Luger, he hails from the Jersey Shore, standing 6’5” and weighing in at 248 pounds… a man who has fought his way from the bottom to the top—DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE!" The arena shakes as “Smells Like Teen Spirit” hits, and DDP makes his way down the ramp, full of energy and determination, throwing up the diamond symbol as the crowd chants his name as Luger is right behind him cheering DDP on. Michael Buffer: "And now, introducing the champion... accompanied by ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage, and “The Worm” Dennis Rodman representing the New World Order… standing 6’7” and weighing in at 302 pounds, he is the reigning, defending WCW World Heavyweight Champion... the one... the only... HOLLYWOOD HOGAN!" Boos fill the arena as “Voodoo Child” blasts through the speakers. Hollywood Hogan makes his slow, arrogant walk to the ring, draped in black and white, with the WCW World Title slung over his shoulder. He mocks the crowd, playing to the boos with a sly grin, knowing that the title is still firmly in the nWo’s grasp. As both competitors stand in the ring, eyes locked in a stare-down, the intensity radiates. Buffer steps forward for his final declaration, heightening the stakes. Michael Buffer: "Tonight, one man leaves as the World Champion... the other leaves with nothing. May the best man win!" With that, Buffer steps out of the ring as the referee hoists the WCW World Title high in the air, signaling the start of the most important match of the night. WCW World Title Match Hollywood Hogan© with Randy Savage vs Diamond Dallas Page with Lex Luger The crowd is buzzing as the bell rings, signaling the start of the highly anticipated main event. Hollywood Hogan, draped in arrogance, takes his time, circling Diamond Dallas Page, who stands laser-focused, knowing that this is the opportunity of a lifetime. Hogan points at DDP mockingly, but DDP brushes off the taunts, ready for a fight. DDP charges first, forcing Hogan into the corner with a flurry of punches. Hogan scrambles to the outside, frustrated with DDP’s intensity. The crowd roars as DDP motions for Hogan to get back in the ring. When Hogan finally re-enters, he takes control with dirty tactics—a rake to the eyes and a handful of hair—to slow DDP’s momentum. The first few minutes are evenly contested. DDP catches Hogan with a series of shoulder tackles and arm drags, keeping the champion off balance. Hogan, however, uses his veteran instincts, working DDP into the corner and landing heavy right hands. The early exchanges set the tone for the night—a battle of wits, endurance, and heart. Hogan and DDP brawl to the outside, and just as Hogan gains control, Randy Savage sneaks around the ring and tries to interfere. Luger spots it and cuts Savage off, tossing him into the barricade, drawing cheers from the crowd. Luger’s presence evens the odds, and with Savage neutralized, DDP throws Hogan back into the ring and lands a top-rope clothesline for a two-count. Hogan slows the pace, using underhanded tricks to regain control. He chokes DDP against the ropes and delivers a series of elbow drops, drawing boos from the crowd. Every time DDP tries to mount a comeback, Hogan shuts him down with vicious strikes and holds, frustrating both DDP and the fans. Hogan drops the leg for the first time, going for a pin—One… Two… but DDP kicks out! Hogan slams the mat in frustration, sensing that DDP won’t go down easily. As Hogan taunts the crowd, DDP seizes the moment. He ducks a clothesline and lands a spinning discus punch, knocking Hogan to the mat. The crowd explodes as DDP finally gains the upper hand, delivering clotheslines and a Pancake Piledriver for another near-fall. DDP signals for the Diamond Cutter, and the crowd is on their feet. Hogan, sensing the end is near, backs into the corner, begging off. But DDP pulls him to his feet and delivers a snap suplex, followed by a running bulldog. Hogan staggers to his feet, and DDP catches him with a Samoan Drop! 1…..2….Hogan kicks out at the last second! The end seems inevitable as DDP catches Hogan staggering toward him. With the crowd in a frenzy, DDP hits the Diamond Cutter in the middle of the ring! The crowd erupts as DDP goes for the cover—One… Two…—but just before the referee’s hand hits the mat for three, Lex Luger pulls the referee out of the ring! The crowd gasps in disbelief as the referee is yanked to the floor. DDP sits up, stunned, realizing what just happened. He looks toward Luger, confused, as the fans boo loudly. Luger climbs back into the ring, and DDP stands, asking his friend what’s going on. Without hesitation, Luger blasts DDP with a clothesline! The crowd erupts in boos as DDP crumples to the mat. Luger smirks as he picks up DDP and locks on The Torture Rack! Luger has just knocked out DDP with the Rack! The fans are going CRAZY! They are throwing trash as Luger senses DDP is laid out! Luger drops DDP in the middle of the ring and wakes up Hogan who is now all smiles. He does the “Too Sweet” to Luger! Hogan is up to his feet and LEGDROP OF DOOM! Hogan puts the boot on the chest of DDP’s lifeless body as the referee, groggy from being dragged out, slides back into the ring to count the pin! 1…..2….3!!!! Winner and Still WCW World Heavyweight Champion: Hollywood Hogan The boos are deafening as Luger helps Hogan to his feet, raising his arm in victory. Randy Savage slides back into the ring, laughing, and the three men embrace as the nWo music blares through the arena. Hogan grabs the microphone, grinning ear to ear. Hollywood Hogan: "Welcome to the family, Lex Luger, brother!" Luger, now draped in black and white “nWo” shirt, stands tall with Hogan and Savage, sneering down at the fallen DDP. DDP stirs slightly, realizing the betrayal, but Savage stomps him back to the mat with vicious kicks. The nWo stands triumphant as the fans shower them with boos, throwing trash into the ring in disgust. The camera zooms in on the smug faces of Hogan, Savage, and Luger, who all flash the nWo hand signal over DDP’s body. The crowd chants, "You sold out! You sold out!" as the scene grows increasingly chaotic. The last image of Halloween Havoc 1997 is that of the nWo standing tall, with Hogan holding the WCW World Title high above his head, Luger officially a member of the faction, and DDP lying motionless in the ring. The screen fades to black as the nWo music plays, signaling that the war for WCW is far from over. OOC: Replace Nash with Awesome, Hall with Luger and Syxx with Triple H!

LowBlowPodcast Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 Havoc 1997 - what it was known for and what you've created are two different things... I can't say that Edge and Christian, in 1997 are at the level of the NAO in regard to beating the Road Warriors - but to each their own in that right - gotta crack the eggs to make dinner - Benoit getting the tv title is right and he could bring some real prestige to that title with the crew you've got - Rey gets the win and goes to a new height... I like this move and Eddy isn't hurt - Steiners win and get some antics from Doink which causes intrigue - Hart Foundation and Horsemen is a match made in heaven or hell depending - Owen Hart sets the stage though with the US title win - Luger, Savage, Hogan, & Triple H - the NWO - all strong pieces and no weak link - wonder how the Harts and Horsemen will match up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 Halloween Havoc starts with a shocker as Edge & Christian score the biggest win of their careers. Benoit brings more gold to the Horsemen. Rey wins the cruiserweight title in an absolute show stealer. Some things just shouldn't be changed. I see the tag title match underwent some restructuring. Oh well, card subject to change after all. Though it does make me think, the breakdown said that Mortis was aligned with Jake Roberts. If that's still the case then that makes Hugh Morris and Doink the Clown are members of the NWO by default which is just hilarious to me. Speaking of Jake, he helps Trips to a big win. Malenko keeps the Horsemen's good fortune going. Loved Jericho's tantrum. Two straight wins make it a perfect night for the Hart Foundation. Luger shocks the world by screwing DDP and joining the NWO. Not sure if this will help him get that world title shot but it makes a great show ending visual.

Yeah, I thought I had cleared up all that with the tag title match. My bad. Mortis has no affiliation with Jake Roberts anymore. Doink, Hugh Morris, and Mortis are their stable away from Jake, maybe that will change down the road but right now it's them three doing their own thing. No Doink and his carnival in the nWo.

KingBoggs33 Posted October 29 Author Report Share Posted October 29 WCW Monday Night Nitro Episode #105 10/27/1997 San Diego, California Commentary: Tony Schiavone, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan and Mike Tenay {The camera pans across a packed, electric arena as Pyro explodes, and the crowd erupts for another adrenaline-fueled episode of WCW Monday Nitro! We still get photos of what happened at Halloween Havoc last night! Hogan beat DDP to retain the World Title due to the turncoat as Tony calls him Lex Luger. Nitro wastes no time getting started as the music of The New World Order! This music blasts and here comes Hogan, Luger, HHH, Hennig, Mike Awesome, and Jake Roberts!} The arena is packed and buzzing, as fans hold up signs like “Why, Luger?” and “nWo = Traitors.” The nWo’s theme blasts through the arena as Hollywood Hogan, Randy Savage, Bobby Heenan, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, and Lex Luger swagger down to the ring, flanked by the nWo entourage. Luger, wearing a nWo shirt, takes center stage with a smug grin. Lex Luger: You people never saw it coming, did you? Diamond Dallas Page never saw it coming! And that’s because none of you can grasp the simple truth… WCW is deadweight! For too long, I tried to be the hero, the franchise that could save this place. But there’s no saving WCW—it’s a sinking ship! And joining the nWo? That was me grabbing onto a lifeline.” The crowd boos, chanting, “Sellout! Sellout!” Luger smirks, ignoring them. Lex Luger: “I spent years doing the work, playing the hero, all for a company that took me for granted. But the nWo—they understand what it takes to be on top and be elite. So I left WCW behind and joined the future. Page, WCW, all of you can consider this the official announcement that ‘The Total Package’ belongs to the nWo!” The nWo claps and cheers as Luger raises his arms in defiance. Suddenly, “Self High-Five” blares through the speakers, and the crowd erupts as Diamond Dallas Page storms down the ramp, fists clenched and eyes blazing. He grabs a mic, barely waiting for the crowd to settle. Diamond Dallas Page: “You’re out here, spouting off about how you ‘put in the work,’ but the truth is, you’re just another sellout! Do you think you’re better than WCW? You think you’re better than me? You’re a coward, Luger—a man who’s so scared of losing that he’d stab his friend in the back!” The crowd cheers as DDP stands toe-to-toe with Luger, who now looks agitated. Diamond Dallas Page: “If you’re as tough as you say, then face me tonight, one-on-one! Show the world who you really are, because I’m done with the talking—I want a fight!” Luger laughs dismissively, but before he can respond, the crowd pops as WCW Commissioner Dusty Rhodes steps onto the ramp with a mic in hand. Dusty Rhodes: “Hold it right there, Luger! You wanted to be part of the nWo, and that’s your choice. But let me tell you something, daddy: tonight, WCW is fighting back! And DDP, if you want Luger in that ring tonight, you got it! But there’s one condition…” Dusty glares at the nWo.: “If any of you nWo goons try to interfere, you’re suspended, and that’s a promise, baby!” The crowd erupts as Dusty lowers the mic, pointing at Luger as if daring him to accept. Hogan, Luger, and the nWo exchange uneasy glances, but Luger nods, smirking with newfound confidence. Luger: “Fine, Page. You want a match? Tonight, I’ll end you just like I ended WCW!” DDP and Luger lock eyes, the tension nearly explosive, as Dusty’s theme hits, and the fans cheer, knowing WCW isn’t backing down. The scene fades out as the commentators hype up the main event, ready for a night of intense action. WCW Television Championship Chris Benoit© vs Alex Wright Alex Wright makes his way to the ring to a solid cheer from the crowd, eager to avenge his tag team partner Disco Inferno’s loss to Chris Benoit at Halloween Havoc. The intense new TV Champion, Benoit, strides out, glaring at Wright with a cold focus as he raises the title high, showing no signs of holding back. The bell rings, and Wright opens with a quick burst, catching Benoit off guard with a series of arm drags and a standing dropkick that staggers the champion. Wright goes for a cover, but Benoit kicks out immediately. Determined to keep control, Wright follows with a flurry of kicks, but Benoit reverses the momentum with a brutal chop that echoes through the arena, halting Wright’s offense. Benoit whips Wright into the ropes and nails him with a snap suplex, then another, displaying a mean streak as he grounds his opponent with forceful forearm strikes. Wright attempts to fight back, but Benoit takes him down with a German suplex, bridging into a pin. 1… 2… Kickout! Benoit doesn’t let up, locking in a crossface chicken wing to wear Wright down further. As the crowd rallies behind Wright, he manages to reach the ropes for the break. Wright gets a quick second wind and catches Benoit with a sudden enzuigiri, followed by a spinning heel kick that floors the champ. Wright climbs to the top rope and lands a missile dropkick, quickly covering Benoit. 1… 2… Kickout! Benoit, showing his trademark tenacity, gets up and counters Wright’s next attack, trapping him in the Crippler Crossface. Benoit wrenches back as Wright fights desperately to reach the ropes but finally taps out. Your Winner and Still Television Champion Chris Benoit Benoit releases the hold, raises his TV Title high, and gives a cold, disdainful glance at Wright, showing the fierce streak that keeps him on top. Backstage, Mean Gene Okerlund stands by with Edge and Christian, who are in high spirits after their big win over the Legion of Doom at Halloween Havoc. Edge, grinning, adjusts his sunglasses as Mean Gene brings the mic up. Mean Gene: “Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Edge and Christian, fresh off their huge victory over the Legion of Doom last night. Gentlemen, what's the mood after taking down such a legendary team?” Christian: chuckling and nudging Edge “You know, Mean Gene, we just proved last night that it doesn’t matter how big, bad, or ‘legendary’ you are – when you step in the ring with us, you’re going down.” Edge: smirking “Exactly, Christian! LoD might have been the top dogs back in the day, but last night, we showed the world that the future belongs to us. The Northern Lights are here to stay!” Before they can continue, a furious Hawk and Animal storm into the frame, cutting off the interview. Without a word, Hawk grabs Christian and slams him into a nearby equipment case, while Animal charges at Edge, driving him back against the concrete wall. The ambush is brutal, with Hawk and Animal unleashing their frustration over the loss. Hawk: gritting his teeth “You think this is over? We’re just getting started, rookies!” Animal hoists Edge up and throws him hard onto the floor, then joins Hawk as they stand over the downed team, breathing heavily. Animal: leaning down “Next time, we’re not letting you walk out.” With one final glare, the Legion of Doom storms off, leaving Edge and Christian battered and writhing on the ground as Mean Gene looks on in shock. Tag Team Match Mortis and Hugh Morris with Doink The Clown vs Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon enter to a solid reaction from the crowd, their focus sharp as they prepare to take on the twisted pairing of Mortis and Hugh Morris, accompanied by the menacing Doink the Clown. As Mortis and Morris make their way to the ring, Doink lurks nearby, grinning wickedly, his eerie presence immediately unnerving the audience. The bell rings, and Furnas starts off against Hugh Morris. The powerhouse wrestlers lock up, with Furnas taking the early advantage by forcing Morris back into the corner. Furnas lands a series of shoulder thrusts, showing his strength, then whips Morris to the opposite turnbuckle. He follows up with a hard clothesline, sending Morris stumbling back into the center of the ring. Furnas tags in LaFon, and the two execute a double suplex, showing off their teamwork. LaFon quickly covers Morris. 1… 2… Kickout! Mortis claps from the apron, urging Morris to get up as LaFon keeps the pressure on. LaFon whips Morris into the ropes and attempts a dropkick, but Morris holds onto the ropes, dodging it. Morris quickly tags in Mortis, who rushes in, immediately targeting LaFon with a series of stiff kicks and a spinning heel kick that takes LaFon down. Mortis smirks, capitalizing by wrenching LaFon’s arm and dragging him over to the corner. Mortis tags in Morris, who enters with a big elbow drop, then lifts LaFon for a bear hug, applying pressure while Mortis taunts Furnas from the apron. LaFon struggles, trying to reach Furnas, but Morris ragdolls him, tightening his grip. The crowd rallies as LaFon finally escapes with a series of elbows to Morris's head. LaFon then catches him off guard with a quick enzuigiri, dropping Morris to his knees and giving LaFon just enough time to make the hot tag to Furnas! Furnas charges in, taking down both Mortis and Morris with big clotheslines. He scoops Morris up and slams him with a powerful belly-to-belly suplex, then whips Mortis into the ropes, catching him with a spinebuster. The crowd erupts as Furnas is fired up, and Doink paces around ringside, visibly concerned. Furnas tags LaFon back in, and they prepare for a double-team maneuver on Morris. But just as LaFon bounces off the ropes, Doink suddenly hops onto the apron, cackling and waving his arms to distract the referee. LaFon approaches, shouting at Doink to get down, but Doink reaches into his coat pocket and throws a handful of confetti right into LaFon’s face, momentarily blinding him. The referee, still distracted by Doink’s antics, misses the interference. Mortis seizes the opening, entering the ring and nailing Furnas with a low blow, sending him rolling out of the ring. Morris, seeing his chance, grabs LaFon from behind and hits a big powerslam. Mortis tags in and climbs to the top rope as Morris hoists LaFon up in a powerbomb position. With a nod from Doink, Mortis jumps, hitting LaFon with a top-rope neckbreaker/powerbomb combo. Mortis quickly covers LaFon. 1… 2… 3! The bell rings as Mortis and Hugh Morris are declared the winners. Doink jumps into the ring, laughing maniacally, his twisted plan having worked perfectly. Mortis and Morris stand victorious, with Doink mockingly clapping at the downed Furnas and LaFon, celebrating their underhanded win as the crowd boos the sinister trio. The camera cuts to a dimly lit backstage area, where Owen Hart stands in front of a large mirror, adjusting his championship belt—the WCW US Title—proudly draped over his shoulder. He looks into the camera, a confident smile on his face. Owen Hart: “You know, winning this title means everything to me. I’ve fought tooth and nail to get here, and now, I’m ready to show the world that the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be is right here in WCW!” As Owen revels in his victory, Jake “The Snake” Roberts walks into the frame, a sly grin on his face and the nWo colors visible on his attire. He leans casually against the wall, arms crossed, observing Owen with a predatory gaze. Jake Roberts: “Congratulations, Owen. Quite the achievement. But I’m here to remind you that the nWo doesn’t take kindly to anyone holding gold.” Owen narrows his eyes, his confidence unwavering. Owen Hart: “What’s that supposed to mean, Jake? You think I’m scared of the nWo? I’ve dealt with bigger threats before.” Jake steps closer, the smile fading as he leans in, his voice low and menacing. Jake Roberts: “Oh, I know you’re tough. But Mike Awesome is on a mission, and that US Title is at the top of his list. You might think you’re ready to defend it, but trust me, the nWo doesn’t play by the rules. We take what we want, and right now, we want you and that shiny title of yours.” Owen straightens, his demeanor shifting to a defensive stance. Owen Hart: “Let him come. I’ll defend this title against anyone. The nWo might think they’re unstoppable, but they’ll find out just how wrong they are when they step in the ring with me.” Jake chuckles, his eyes glinting with a mix of amusement and menace. Jake Roberts: “Brave words, Owen. But remember, it’s not just Mike Awesome you have to worry about. The nWo has eyes everywhere. We operate in the shadows, and we’ll strike when you least expect it.” Owen takes a step closer, staring Jake down, his resolve firm. Owen Hart: “I’ll be ready. Let Mike Awesome and the nWo come after me. This title means everything, and I won’t let anyone take it away without a fight.” Jake smirks, backing away slightly as he raises his hands in mock surrender. Jake Roberts: “Just don’t say I didn’t warn you. The nWo always gets what it wants. Good luck, champ.” With that, Jake turns and walks away, the sinister tension hanging in the air as Owen watches him go, fully aware of the storm brewing on the horizon.

You think you can just come in and make a name for yourself by taking me down? Oh, no, that’s not how this works!” Dustin steps closer to the camera, his intensity rising. Dustin Rhodes: “I’m tired of the games, tired of the cheap shots! So here’s what I’m gonna do—I’m calling you out, Triple H! Next week on Nitro, I want you in a Bunkhouse Brawl!” He pauses, letting the weight of his challenge sink in, his voice filled with conviction. Dustin Rhodes: “That’s right! A Bunkhouse Brawl—a match with no rules, no limitations! Just me and you, one-on-one, to settle this once and for all! You think you can play in my backyard and walk away unscathed? Well, get ready, because I’m bringing the fight to you!” Dustin throws a fist into the air, the fire in his eyes unmistakable. Dustin Rhodes: “I’ve faced some of the toughest in this business, and I won’t back down from you! So, Triple H, you get ready, because next week, I’m coming for you, and it’s gonna be a brawl like you’ve never seen before! I’ll show you what it means to be a Rhodes, and I’ll show you that you messed with the wrong man!” With one last determined stare into the camera, Dustin walks off, leaving the audience buzzing with anticipation for the explosive showdown next week.

Chavo Guerrero: “I don’t need to cheat, Eddie! I can win on my own terms!” Eddie shakes his head, visibly frustrated. Eddie Guerrero: “You think that’s gonna get you anywhere in this business? You gotta be willing to do what it takes! This is about winning, not about playing nice!” Chavo stands his ground, shaking his head in disagreement. Chavo Guerrero: “I refuse to compromise who I am for a win! I want to earn my victories, not cheat for them!” Eddie, growing angrier, steps closer to Chavo, their tension palpable as Rey watches from the corner, realizing the conflict unfolding before him.

I should be at the top, not playing second fiddle to some nobody!” As Jericho continues to rant, he is interrupted by the entrance of The Hart Foundation—Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Davey Boy Smith, and Test. The fans cheer as the faction walks in, and Bret steps forward, a serious look on his face. Bret Hart: “Chris, I get it. I’ve been there. Losses are tough, especially when you know you’re better than that. But maybe it’s time for a change. You’ve got potential, kid, but you need direction.” Jericho stops pacing and narrows his eyes, a mix of skepticism and intrigue on his face. Chris Jericho: “What are you talking about, Bret? I don’t need your pity or advice! I can do this on my own!” Bret shakes his head, remaining calm. Bret Hart: “It’s not pity, Chris. It’s an opportunity. The Hart Foundation knows how to win, and we could show you how to take your career to the next level. But you need to be willing to learn and to put the ego aside for a moment.” Jericho’s expression softens slightly, considering Bret’s words, but his pride still holds him back. Chris Jericho: “And what’s in it for you, huh? You just want to collect more underlings for your little faction?” Bret steps closer, looking Jericho straight in the eyes. Bret Hart: “It’s about more than that. It’s about respect. We see the talent in you, but it’s going to take more than just talent to succeed. You can be a part of something bigger, but the choice is yours. Think about it.” Bret gestures to the rest of The Hart Foundation, who stand behind him, their expressions serious. The message is clear: they are offering Jericho a chance to join them. As the tension builds, Jericho ponders the offer, the camera zooming in on his conflicted expression. Bret Hart: “You have until next week, Chris. Make the right choice.” With that, The Hart Foundation turns to leave, leaving Jericho standing alone, caught in a whirlwind of emotions as the segment fades to black, the audience eager to see what Jericho will decide. The camera fades in on Ric Flair standing in a dimly lit backstage area, wearing a tailored suit and looking intense. The mood is somber but charged with emotion as he prepares to address the audience. Flair takes a deep breath, his trademark charisma shining through as he begins to speak. Ric Flair: “Woooo! Last night at Halloween Havoc was more than just a match for The Four Horsemen; it was the end of an era. My best friend, my brother, Arn Anderson, gave everything he had inside that ring. He fought with every ounce of heart, soul, and passion. But last night, that battle took its toll, and it marked the end of Arn Anderson’s career.” Flair’s voice quivers slightly, the weight of his words palpable as he reflects on the bond he shared with Arn. Ric Flair: “You see, Arn was more than just a tag team partner or a fellow Horseman. He was a warrior, a fighter, a man who stood side by side with me through thick and thin. The Horsemen have always been about loyalty, brotherhood, and excellence. And now, I stand here, dedicating this next chapter to Arn, to the legacy we built together!” Flair's passion ignites as he raises his voice, his signature intensity radiating throughout the room. Ric Flair: “Battlebowl is not just another pay-per-view for me. It’s a chance to honor Arn’s legacy and to show the world what The Four Horsemen are truly made of! We are not just a faction; we are a family. We fight for each other, and we will fight in honor of Arn Anderson!” He takes a moment to gather himself, letting the emotion settle before continuing with a fierce determination in his eyes. Ric Flair: “To all the other competitors in Battlebowl, know this: you’re stepping into the ring with the Nature Boy! I’m going to give it everything I have, not just for me, but for Arn and for every Horseman who has ever worn this badge of honor! I will rise above, I will win, and when I do, it will be for you, Arn! Woooo!” Flair leans in closer to the camera, his intensity piercing through the screen. Ric Flair: “So remember this, whether you’re in that Battlebowl or not—The Four Horsemen will never be forgotten. We will always rise, and we will always be a force to be reckoned with! I dedicate this victory to you, Arn, and to the legacy of The Horsemen! Woooo!” With that, Flair steps back, raising his arms in his signature pose as the camera fades out, leaving the audience buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming Battlebowl and Flair’s fierce commitment to his fallen brother. The camera cuts to Triple H standing in the ring, microphone in hand, with an air of confidence surrounding him. The crowd is buzzing after Dustin Rhodes issued his challenge for a Bunkhouse Brawl match. Triple H raises the mic, ready to respond. Triple H: “Dustin Rhodes! So you want a Bunkhouse Brawl next week? Well, you got it! I accept your challenge!” The crowd reacts with a mix of cheers and boos as Triple H paces the ring, a smug smile on his face. Triple H: “But let’s get one thing straight—you think just because you’re a Rhodes, you have some kind of built-in advantage over me? You think your family legacy means anything in that ring? You’re in for a rude awakening!” He pauses, letting his words linger as he scans the audience, relishing the moment. Triple H: “This isn’t about family ties or nostalgia. This is about survival! And next week, I’m going to show you just what I’m made of! I’ll break you down and leave you wondering why you ever stepped up to the plate.” Leaning closer to the camera, he delivers his final words with intensity. Triple H: “So get ready, Dustin. When that bell rings, it’s going to be all out war. I’m coming for you, and I won’t stop until I make you realize you picked the wrong fight! I’ll see you next week!” With that, Triple H drops the mic, standing tall in the ring as the camera fades out, leaving the audience eager for the impending showdown. Main Event Diamond Dallas Page vs Lex Luger The arena is electric as Lex Luger makes his entrance, striking his signature pose to a mixed reaction from the crowd. The anticipation builds as Diamond Dallas Page follows, receiving a thunderous ovation from the fans. Both men are determined to prove themselves in this pivotal matchup. The bell rings, and DDP charges at Luger with a flurry of punches, taking control early on. Luger counters, shoving DDP into the corner and following up with a series of shoulder blocks. DDP fights back with a spinning neckbreaker, but Luger showcases his power with a massive scoop slam, sending DDP crashing to the mat. The crowd is on the edge of their seats as both competitors trade momentum, showcasing their skills.As the match progresses, DDP gains the upper hand, hitting a jumping clothesline that sends Luger down. He attempts a pin, but Luger powers out at two. The back-and-forth continues, with each man gaining near-falls. Luger counters DDP’s signature Diamond Cutter attempt, tossing him into the ropes and catching him with a brutal powerslam. Both men are visibly exhausted, struggling to get to their feet. Suddenly, the nWo’s theme music blares through the arena, and the tension heightens as Mike Awesome and Curt Hennig rush down to the ring, attacking DDP from behind. Luger, seemingly aligning with the nWo, joins in the assault, and the crowd erupts in boos as chaos ensues. Just as it seems DDP is down and out, Dustin Rhodes sprints to the ring to help his friend. He takes down Hennig and Awesome with fists flying, but they quickly overpower him, leaving both DDP and Rhodes vulnerable to the nWo’s relentless assault. The chaos escalates as the nWo stands over the fallen DDP and Rhodes, reveling in their dominance. Just then, a spotlight shines down, and the crowd erupts as Sting makes his dramatic entrance from the ceiling, his black and white attire gleaming under the lights. He drops down into the ring, bat in hand, and swings it wildly at the nWo members. Awesome and Hennig scramble to escape, but Sting is relentless, striking them with the bat and sending them reeling. With the nWo momentarily dispatched, Sting stands tall, breathing heavily as he surveys the chaos around him. He turns to the poster for Battlebowl hanging above the ring and points his bat at it, making a bold statement about his intentions for the upcoming event. As the camera shifts to the ramp, Hollywood Hogan, Randy Savage, and Triple H watch intently, their expressions a mix of concern and contempt. Hogan sneers, pointing at Sting, while Savage clenches his fists, ready to respond to the challenge. Triple H stands with his arms crossed, sizing up the situation, clearly intrigued by Sting’s audacity. Sting raises the bat high, the crowd roaring in approval, finally declaring his intention to compete in Battlebowl for a shot at the WCW World Title. The camera captures the moment as Hogan, Savage, and HHH exchange knowing glances, the tension thick in the air, signaling that the war for supremacy is just beginning. The show fades to black, leaving fans eager for the fallout from this explosive main event and the implications for Battlebowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 I don't think the TV title is leaving Benoit anytime soon. The Road Warriors aren't taking their loss to the "rookies" well. Doink's Carnival makes a successful in-ring debut. The NWO isn't overlooking Owen taking the US title. Goldberg runs over the Roadblock. Loved seeing Dusty hyping up Battlebowl, his one of his lesser known creations, like a proud dad. Dustin has had enough and challenges Triple H to a Bunkhouse Brawl. Uncle Eddie isn't pleased with Chavo's defeats to Rey. Maybe joining the Hart Foundation could be the boost Jericho needs. Ric dedicating his performance in Battlebowl to Arn will make a great story for the event. Sting declares his entry to Battlebowl. I'll be honest I'm a little torn. Sure it's the only real way he can take the title off Hogan at Starrcade. But part of the reason that match was so special irl is that it was Sting's first match in over a year. That won't be the case here, well it'll be his first singles match in that time but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 You've got quite a few big angles going on and everyone has a nice role in your reboot. I think the biggest ones that jump out to me are Benoit and the tv title and then the situation with the Hart Foundation and Jericho. I could see this being a great jumping point for him. It could be, in this world, the thing that keeps him in WCW. Now we've got battlebowl coming up - so much on the line - my money is on Sting but don't think Bret won't be there at the end... but also Randy Savage. Oh yeah... Goldberg is around too... and don't forget about DDP... that's the best part is that there isn't one clear this person should win because there's options out there .

SirEdger Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 I'm really curious how you gonna pull off Battlebowl, compared to IRL. The one thing that bothered me about the concept is that ultimately, it ended up being "semi-random" most of the time (at least, it looked better than any WWF/E attempt at letting the control out of the booker's hands to an extent) and it could've ended up creating potential new stars for WCW, taking advantage of the Battlebowl concept to get over. But I'm not worried about you doing it justice because you've been crushing it so far with a lot of action everywhere in the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
