Halloween Havoc was an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) from 1989 through 2000. Since the event was held in October, it had a Halloween themed show. The first four events were held when WCW was affiliated with the National Wrestling Alliance. The final five events were held in the Las Vegas suburb of Paradise, Nevada, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. WWE has owned the rights to Halloween Havoc since it purchased WCW's trademarks in 2001. In 2015, all WCW pay-per-views were made available on the WWE Network.
Halloween Havoc (1990) took place on October 27, 1990 from the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois. Barry Windham, disguised as Sting, traded places with Sting during the main event, after Sid Vicious attacked him backstage during the match. Sid originally won the match after falling on top of Windham while he tried to bodyslam Vicious. Sting came out after the pin to reveal the ruse and the match was restarted. On the original VHS release only 6 of the 10 matches of the main broadcast were included. The version available on the WWE network is also this edit, not the complete event as is usual for other WCW PPV's of this period.
Halloween Havoc (1992) took place on October 25, 1992 from the Philadelphia Civic Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Vader was defending the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship for Rick Rude, who complained about having to wrestle twice. This was also a No Disqualification Match and Madusa was barred from ringside. Rick Rude and Harley Race were also banned from ringside by order of head referee Ole Anderson. The tag team title match was originally scheduled to be "Dr. Death" Steve Williams and Terry Gordy vs. The Steiner Brothers, but was changed after Rick Steiner suffered a torn chest muscle during a Japanese tour, and Barry Windham and Dustin Rhodes won the titles from Williams and Gordy on the October 3 edition of WCW Saturday Night, making Williams and Gordy challenge Windham and Rhodes to a rematch for the titles.Steve Austin was subbing for Gordy, who no-showed the event.Masahiro Chono was disqualified by guest referee Harley Race for throwing Rude over the top rope, Chono retained the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. The main event was a "Spin the Wheel, Make a Deal" match with the match type determined by spinning wheel. Sting pinned Jake Roberts after hitting him with the coal miner's glove, which caused a snake Roberts was holding to turn on him and bite him in the face.
