HALLOWEEN HAVOC REWIND!
WCW's Halloween Havoc 1998 took place on October 25, 1998 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Despite being red hot in 1997, WCW had its best fiscal year in 1998 and was setting records. Unfortunately, by October 1998, much of that money starting going down the drain as creative got worse and worse. This pay-per-view is the epitome of what laid ahead for WCW in the coming years. We got the Hogan vs. Warrior rematch. We wish we didn't. The undercard was brutal. The event wasn't even salvaged by a fantastic main event that featured Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page ... perhaps Goldberg's best match ever! Let's dive deep!
HALLOWEEN HAVOC REWIND!
WCW's Halloween Havoc 1997 took place on October 26, 1997 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It garnered a 1.10 pay-per-view buyrate, and Nick Piccone was among those. WCW in 1997 was red hot and the road to Starrcade was no different. With a couple of bumps along the way, however, Halloween Havoc that year was a microcosm of what was to come for WCW. Pretty good start - lame finish. We dive deep into all the matches and happening of this time frame in our latest deep dive!
This week, we continue our Reel Graps series and take a deep dive into See No Evil! With Halloween around the corner, we dive into our very first horror movie on the pod!

WWF IN YOUR HOUSE: BADD BLOOD REWIND!
This week, the guys dive deep into the show that featured the very first Hell in a Cell match: WWF Badd Blood: In Your House. Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker gave us a match to remember, which none of the other matches on this show can say.
HALLOWEEN HAVOC REWIND!
We're heading back to 1996 again - this time taking a deep dive into Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc 1996! The nWo was just born and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan would defend the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against the "Macho Man" Randy Savage... and after the match, Hogan is in for a "ROWDY" SURPRISE!!!
WWF IN YOUR HOUSE: BURIED ALIVE REWIND!
WWF In Your House: Buried Alive was the 11th In Your House pay-per-view offering from the revolutionary force in sports entertainment, and it took place on October 20, 1996 at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 1996, the World Wrestling Federation was trying some new things, especially with the nWo angle in World Championship Wrestling beginning to take off in popularity. This Buried Alive Match was one of those things, and simply put, the winner would have to bury his opponent alive. We take a deep dive, no pun intended, into the pay-per-view, where many parts were moving: Jim Ross was a heel, the show opened with a heel vs. heel match, Owen Hart/British Bulldog and the Smoking Gunns having another terrible ending to their second straight pay-per-view match, Marc Mero blew out his knee, Goldust threatened to stick his tongue down everyone's throats, Sid being super over at this time, the entrance gate, and just how much "buried alive" is buried alive? We also throw in some tidbits on the 1993 Phillies, so press play!
HALLOWEEN HAVOC REWIND!
Hulk Hogan and The Giant would square off not once... but twice! The Sumo Monster Truck Match and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship match would feature the two... all the while the Giant would fall off the roof in the building in between those events. It's really a hoot.
HALLOWEEN HAVOC REWIND!
It was Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair in a Steel Cage Retirement match... ALREADY. Hogan had debuted for WCW in June that prior year and they're already blowing it off. Oh, WCW.
HALLOWEEN HAVOC REWIND!
