Summary: A WCW pay per view to remember and own
Comment: WcW HAlloween Havoc '98
-TV Title:Chris Jericho vs. Raven
8/10 solid match
-Disco Inferno vs. Juvi
7/10 way better than expected of Disco
-Cruiserweight Title:Kidman vs. Disco Inferno
8/10 another great Disco performance, back and forth offense wrong man won
-Tag Titles:Scott Steiner and Big Show vs. Rick Steiner and Buff Bagwell
6/10 Buff is pointless,Rick tries to look good,awesome Big Show missile dropkick from the top.Too many damn low blows
-Scott Steiner vs. Rick Steiner
8/10 short and way better than the tag match but another pointless Buff. Both Rick and Scott do better than the first match experience.
-Kevin Nash vs. Scott Hall
8/10 an entertaining match to watch. slow at spots but has a steady pace with these 2 outsiders.
-US Title:Bret Hart vs. Sting
8/10 Starts slow but picks up in pace. Bret does a lot of the usual and Sting is more decisive in his ring moves (with the sinister goatee). Batdown ending
-the reurn match:Hollywood Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior
7/10 it is slow with some botched spots but not as bad as some people say. Defintly not a rematch classic to their 1st bout.
-World Title:Goldberg vs. DDP
10/10 A great fast paced match really back and forth for a Goldberg match (DDP carried GB). Nice moves and athleticism from both men. DDP is so underranked and laughed at as a wrestler but he is really good especially in this match. One of the final great WCW main events.
All in all a must have WCW tape. The card looked great and suceeded in delivering. MUST HAVE
E.T. Out!

Summary: Best Cards With Low-Rated Performance
Comment: You got the return match 8 years in the making.
Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior.
Not a very good match and has a weak ending.
Not so bad on the U.S Title Match between Bret Hart & Sting.
Awesome match in my opinion. This is not the real Sting here.
Got beat up with his bat.
Brother vs Brother match between The Steiner Brothers.
Rick Steiner has to battle Scott & The Giant to getta Scott
a one on one match. Also, it was a tag match with Buff Bagwell
wit Rick til Bagwell turned on him. Steiner upset the 3 of them
and won both matches. And he won the Tag Title by himself.
2 former friends Scott Hall & Kevin Nash went one on one.
Ends by count out with Hall winning the match. Nash walked
out after delivered 2 Jacknife on Hall.
Then The Main Event. Goldberg vs DDP for the World Title.
2 of my favorites in WCW clashed on one of the biggest PPV
of WCW. My favorite match of the night.

Summary: Garbage!
Comment: Match 1: Chris Jericho beat Raven to retain the WCW Television Title.
-This was a back and forth match, with both men performing their finishing moves to no avail. Kanyon jumps up into the ring and Raven throws Jericho into him. He then attempts the Evenflow, but Jericho turns it into the LionTamer. Raven tapped out.
Hollywood Hogan Interview
-Hollywood came out accompanied by Eric Bischoff. He ranted about how bad he wanted to beat the Warrior, and re-told the story of how he beat up his own flesh and blood, Horace. He warned the Warrior about "crossing that line" and said he would beat the Warrior tonight.
Match 2: Wrath defeated Meng
-Throughout the whole match, the two wrestlers tried to prove their mentality. Meng became "one of the first to knock Wrath down". Meng never got a chance to put the Tongon Death Grip on Wrath, because Wrath performed the Meltdown on Meng to get the win.
Match 3: Disco Inferno defeated Juventud Gurrera
-Juvy came out in a flourescent outfit to fight Disco. Througout the match, Disco would get Juvy down, and then taunt him by dancing, losing advantage. Disco ended up winning with a Jumping PileDriver. Disco will go on to fight Kidman for the Cruiserweight belt later tonight.
Match 4: Scott Steiner Interview
-Big Poppa Pump came out and said that he had been around freaks all his life, so Las Vegas was a night off to him. He then commented on Buff, and called Buff and Rick "losers". He then challenged Buff and Rick to a tag team match against the Giant and himself. The match would be for the World Tag Team Titles. He then said he would also wrestle his brother after the match, if he loses the titles.
Match 4:
-This was originally supposed to be Finley vs. Jericho, but got scratched at the last moment. Finley was said to put Alex Wright's dad out of wrestling. Chants of "Boring, Boring" also went up during this match. Alex Wright turned against many of Finley's moves, and won with a Forward Neck Breaker. (I believe)
Match 5: Saturn defeated Lodi via Death Valley Driver
-Lodi claimed to be "anywhere" but Las Vegas. Saturn came out dressed like a "80s fag", and kind of walked like one, with a beret on his head. Lodi tried to slow things down, with no avail. Several times through the match, Lodi would leave to chase his signs. Saturn signed for the DVD and landed it on Lodi to get the win.
Match 6: Kidman defeated Disco Inferno to retain the Cruiserweight Title.
-Disco won a chance against Kidman by defeating Juventud Gurrera. By the way, Kidman came out to new music. Disco again would become unfocused by taunting Kidman. Disco set up for the Piledriver that beat Juventud, but Kidman jumped out of it. Kidman eventually took advantage and landed the Shooting Star Press on Disco to get the win.
Airing of Konnan's Music Video
-This was the debut of Konnan's music video, which was a rap video. If you didn't see it, you didn't miss much.
Match 7: Rick Steiner defeated Scott Steiner and the Giant to win the Tag Team Titles.
-Steiner and the Giant were defending the belts against Buff and Rick. So, if Scott loses, he has to fight Rick for fifteen minutes after this match. Buff was wrestling in blue jeans. When Buff was finally tagged in, he turned on Rick Steiner, and ran off, leaving Rick to fend for himself against Scott and the Giant. The Giant toyed with Rick by pulling him up while he was pinning him. The Giant had problems getting to the top rope, and when he did, he accidentally drop-kicked Scotty. Rick Steiner wins after Bulldogging the Giant. Scott argued the call to no avail, leading to his match with Rick Steiner.
Match 8: Rick Steiner defeated Scott Steiner
The match began right after the last one, with the Giant interfering several times. Scotty Steiner continually low-blowed Rick, right when Rick got an advantage. Someone in a Bill Clinton outfit, turning out to be Buff Bagwell, hit Rick with the SlapJack, while Rick jumped out of the pin. After a Frankensteiner, Rick kicked out again. Rick Steiner landed the BullDog on Scott Steiner, while Nick Patrick came in to make the pin on Scott.
Match 9: Scott Hall beat Kevin Nash via Countout
-What was originally scheduled to be a Bar Fight turned into a regular fight in the ring. Halfway through the match, Hall got on the mike and taunted Nash. Nash came back into the ring when the trainer told him he couldn't, and the fight continued. Nash let Hall beat him, and opened up and did not defend himself. Both men went for the Jackknifes, and both escaped them. Nash PowerBombed Hall once, then twice. He then crotch-chopped Hall, and left the ring.
Match 10: Bret Hart defeated Sting to retain the U.S. Belt
-Sting has grown a Gotee since we last saw him. Sting chased Bret in and out of the ring. Both men put on their versions of the Sharpshooter, and both got out. Bret reached in his pants for a foreign object, and Sting took it away from him. the referee took it away form Sting, allowing Hart to get the advantage. Sting accidentally knocked out the ref, and Hart intentionally leg dropped the ref. Sting then Superplexed Hart right on to the ref, making things worse. Sting went for a Stinger Splash, and hit the back poll, and then was beaten hy Hart with the baseball bat. Bret Hart then put the Sharpshooter on a knocked-out Sting to retain his belt.
Match 11: Hollywood Hogan defeated the Warrior
-The pace of the match was extremeley slow, and the ten minute entrances came as expected. This match was alot like the one from Wrestlemania VI. It was slow-paced and technical, not fast and high-flying. Eventually, Hogan dropped a knee on Nick Patrick. He then called the rest of the nWo out to come and jump the Warrior. The Giant missed Warrior with a kick, and the Warrior rid the Giant and Stevie Ray of the ring. Hogan continually hit Warrior with his work-out belt, and also used it to choke the Warrior. The Warrior then stole Hogan's belt and used it the same way. Hogan then pulled some illegal substance out of his pants and attempted to blind the Warrior with it, unsuccessfully. Hogan is now busted wide open. Horace then made his way out, distracting Hogan, with Biscoff not far behind. Horace went into the ring and hit the Warrior in the back of the head with a chair. Hogan then pinned the Warrior for the win. This was one of the worst Pay-Per-View matches of the year.
Match 12: Goldberg defeated DDP with the Jackhammer to retain the World Title
-Both men came out with Michael Buffer introductions, not surprisingly. Both men would take each other down, and then get right back up. DDP went for the Diamond Cutter, to which Goldberg threw him out of the ring. DDP signaled for the Diamond Cutter, and then was speared. Goldberg hurt his shoulder, and then DDP Diamond Cutted Goldberg. Goldberg kicked out and then speared DDP again, followed by the JackHammer to retain his belt.

Summary: Great Card but did not live up to hype
Comment: Halloween Havoc 98 is one of the best wrestling cards of alltime on paper. It is not that the matches were not good it you just expected more. The crusier wieght matches were ok except for the fact disco fought twice. Hogan vs Warrior sucked it was terrible. Bret vs Sting was good but I expected spectacular as Bret usally pulls off. Goldberg vs ddp was pretty good considering Goldberg is so terrible. Nash vs Hall was incrediblly dissaponting. But Rick Steiner did steal the show winning both tag belts. If you are a Rick stiener fan this is for you.
