It feels weird to come up with only a few words to describe WCW Halloween Havoc 1995, especially since I will likely spend thousands of words describing it in this upcoming article. But if I could sum it up in just a few words, I would do so by quoting Hulk Hogan from this show, right after the first of two matches he had this evening. “Oh no!”  Pro Wrestling Illustrated

Amazingly, all of that above was the prelude to this match for the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. And to be honest, some of what happens here is just as funny as The Giant’s rooftop plunge. The one difference is that plunge and the aftermath is just a few minutes; this match is seventeen minutes long, and while Giant shows a lot of athleticism and pop for a guy his size, it’s still his first match ever with a limited Hulk Hogan. It is not a fun seventeen minutes before Jimmy Hart suddenly turns on Hogan by attacking the referee, giving Giant the win and the WCW Title, even though no one would know this for a week (and then Giant immediately vacated it, making the whole thing even more pointless).

The real tomfoolery occurs after the Hart turn though. You get the rest of the Dungeon of Doom running out to attack Hogan. You get Savage trying to save his buddy. You have Luger becoming the third guy to turn heel on this show, joining up with the Dungeon of Doom. And yes, you get The Yeti, or as Schiavone would say, THE YETAY, and that infamous spot where Giant and Yeti decided to give Hogan a double bearhug, launching a thousand lude jokes and ruining Ron Reis’ career before it even began. There’s a very strong argument that this match, and its post-match, are the worst piece of business to ever take place within a wrestling ring. Personally, I hate it…and love it. Quite frankly, I hate how much I love it. It’s the number one wrestling moment I love to hate. Don’t judge me too harshly.
