WCW / nWo Halloween Havoc 98 took place in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 25th 1998. The show has become infamous thanks to the semi main event; Hollywood Hogan vs The Warrior. Hogan vs Warrior took place back at WWF WrestleMania VI and at Halloween Havoc the two squared off again in a rematch. The match, however, turned out to be one of the worst matches that World Championship Wrestling ever put on PPV and Warrior would leave the company shortly after.
Elsewhere on the card The Outsiders wrestle eachother when Scott Hall (representing nWo Hollywood) takes on Kevin Nash (representing nWo Wolfpac). Bret "Hitman" Hart takes on Sting in a dream match, and Rick Steiner tries to finally get his hands on his brother Scott Steiner.
The main event, DDP vs Goldberg, was widely viewed as the best match of the night. The problem, however, was the fact that up to 20% of homes didn't see this main event due to the PPV running too long.

Cheers to DDP vs Goldberg for not only being a great match, but securing the last Nitro ratings victory ever 👏👏👏
And securing a boatload of people their ppv buy money refunded, too...🤣👍 Honestly, not Goldberg and Page's fault but it still happened...
“That doesn’t work for me brother, the business has never walked a mile in my red and yellow boots brother”
Imagine the crowd reaction if he won.
They would've blown the roof off as one of the best WCW Title Wins.
It figures WCW’s last Monday night win would come as a result of them catastrophically screwing up a PPV broadcast.
@@joshuaarmand5236I approve this message...BROTHER!!!
Thanks Wrestling Bios for producing the best TH-cam series on 90s wrestling. It's been a wild 3 years!
Wrestling Bios is the Cadillac of wrestling channels
I agree!!!
And we're halfway through, it feels like yesterday when he did episode 1
I've been saying this exact thing since episode 1! I knew this show was going to be something great since then! That's why I voted for the whole war series! I've not missed a single episode lol the wife gets annoyed everytime I say "it's reliving the war day babe" lol the ppvs are especially interesting to me cuz I didn't get to watch a single one from either brand.
And he just keeps getting better
I remember as a teenager waiting all night for goldberg vs DDP cuz i always thought it was gonna be DDP to end the streak. I remember the show cutting off and how hard it was to get ahold of the cable company cuz everyone was calling to complain and get the refund
Imagine if they went through with it, and had that happen
In hindsight if it couldn't have continued past starrcade '98 when it was the last really hot thing WCW had going, I wish it had ended this night.
I've been looking forward to finally getting to this video. WCW's first PPV in ages where the main event has no association with the nWo
Incredibly good point! Never thought of that!
@@toptenguy1 Thanks. Last WCW PPV to my recollection that had no nWo in the main event was the 1996 Great American Bash
And of course, they don't get enough time to air
It's sad and crazy that WCW and WWF (at the time) had exposed Scott Hall and Road Warrior Hawk's substance abuse at the same time.
So true. No need for either story line at all either. They should have done better.
Meanwhile Sting was actually having issues behind the scenes.
@@TimTE01 So were Hall and Hawk, actually. You make it sound like they weren't.
In a way, you could see what they wanted to do: create a more serious storyline built around a real life situation, and the WWE has been able to do more serious, blurring the line storylines nowadays well and with enough care given to them (sometimes you have to do some risqué things to illicit emotional responses). They made a similar like story work with the Jericho vs. CM Punk feud in 2012, which brought up the reasons CM Punk was "straight edge" (also because the two performers have always been able to pull those types of stories off well). Thing is, it felt like more exploitation than anything else with those two storylines due to them not knowing how to pull storylines like that off. If those stories happened with today's WWE, I bet they would've taken better care to it. Might have still been cringe to watch, but at least not as exploitive.
It was just a sign of the times and how scummy the respective writers and promoters are for letting these things be exposed for the sake of ratings
You could tell Nash's back couldn't take doing jack knifes anymore, he almost collapsed on the second one.
TBF Hall is a lanky MFer.
I love how they replayed the Horace Hogan clip like we really gave af about Horace Hogan 😂
Deadlock in shambles 🤣
Horace who? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"You think you're special"

Halloween Havoc 98 is a perfect example of dream matches on paper not turning out great in reality. If you looked at this card without having seen the PPV it's absolutely stacked! DDP v Goldberg, Hogan v Warrior, Nash v Hall, Steiner v Steiner, Sting v Bret. I think this is the point where fans started really losing faith in WCW with the messed up PPV ending and then showing the match on free tv the next night
Part of the reason the NWO storyline was almost insulting at this point is that every single NWO adjacent storyline is “this member is going to turn face we promise 1000% this time PSYCH! WHAT A SWERVE”
They already did the Buff fake face turn at least three times this year.
Warrior v. Hogan is what happen when pat Patterson is not pre scripting every move
NWO storyline should have ended shortly after Starrcade 97. Sting should have dethroned Hogan clean, leading to the split of the NWO shortly after. Issue was WCW had very little new ideas and the creative clause people such as Hogan had meant the older stars wouldn’t get out the way, so that new stars could be born.
The Hogan VS Warrior match was all about Hogans ego and getting his win back, from 8 years prior. WCW heavily dropped the ball with Warrior, who let’s face it outside of the 80s and the early 90s, was very out of place in wrestling. By the time the Halloween Havoc match came around very few of the fans actually cared about the match.
They were overdoing it with swerves well before Russo arrived. Thing is, a Buff face turn could have done well, especially after his neck injury. Easy storyline to write, and they pissed it away.
You can make a case here that DDP could have broken the streak here. It would have been a better ending to what we end up with at Starrcade 98. And we know what ends up leading to at the beginning of 1999.
If he won, Nitro might've held onto the ratings war and went back and forth a bit more going into 1999 a little longer. Goldberg was better at chasing the title, but holding it was boring.
They could've implented that spear on the ringpost as a way to stir controversy, claiming Goldberg concussed himself. Then Nash wins WW3 as planned, loses to DDP at Starrcade where Goldberg wins a nr1 contender's match. Laying the groundwork for a rematch further down the line.
The demise of WCW.
I always hated Goldberg. Yes, they should have put the title on DDP at that ppv. But he would have had to beat Goldberg twice--b/c no one saw the main event.......
Goldberg shouldn't have won the title period because doing so put him on the clock to lose. He was already mega over before winning it so why not simply push him as an unbeatable phenom where beating him is a bigger deal than the belt?
The Halloween havoc 1998 stage is without a doubt one of the top 5, or maybe THE Greatest Wrestling stage design of all Time 🙌🏻❤️
No arguments
I agree. What a feeling watching it live. Felt special
PPV Sundays with Wrestling Bios are almost as exciting as it used to be in the 90’s!
This channel has grown so much in a few years. I remember watching your early videos and, you’ve really gotten very good at narration and editing. Best wrestling channel on TH-cam, full stop.
"Alright folks, lets see what happens" the line I look forward too every week
Coincidentally also the WCW booking motto.
I absolutely love how you have the WCW/nWo Revenge music in the background, it’s just an added bonus to an already excellent video! I don’t even always watch because I enjoy listening and sleeping to these just as much!
Samoa Joe used to walk away from opponents in his tna days it became one of his signature moves it always got a pop outta me.
My favorite is still against Christopher Daniels doing the BME
@@ravinraven6913 Okay
Kidman's SSP was always top notch
IMHO he had the cleanest one in the business.
i always enjoyed alex wright, he was never going to be a main eventer but he knew how to work the crowd and his offense was always silky smooth.
I miss PPV sets like this one!
They are really missed absolutely loved when they put effort like that in and even the announcers made the effort dressing for the occasion
@@Kas58223it's the lil things right good times good times
Why was WCW so afraid of turning Buff Bagwell face? They had two good opportunities to do it and decided not to. I think having a face Buff would have been good during this time and you could have had him team up with Rick legitimately. instead, its just the same story over and over again and you can see why people got tired of it. I think that was a lot of what was causing problems for WCW during this time. Too much wanting to keep the status quo.
EDIT: I forgot this was the PPV where it got cut out before the main event. And people had to be livid, because this was not only match of the night, but probably Goldberg's best match in his WCW run. And while his stock was already rising, I think this match helped elevate DDP even more.
I was at this event as a young kid. It’s one of my best memories.
So unlike 99% of other fans.. You got to SEE the main event live. Kudos to you! haha :)
Fam same I might be bias saying this but this is the best design set in my opinion
@@retronerds6884You're not, it's considered one of, if not the best set.
Wow how was seeing Goldberg's entrance in person during the streak?
@@fizzyfuzz5878 Damn near deafening
Goldberg's best ever match (in my opinion) and the match where he should've lost the streak.
I know Nash is the bigger star but DDP winning here clean would've made him a mega star and barely anyone would've complained because the match was that damn good.
I think you could argue that DDP was right up there at the level as a an A+ star.
Disco Inferno vs Kidman is such a channel changer lol
Nash was at one point some how got a creative control from wcw from what I heard / podcast I believe - however he claim he didn't booked it but there is a lot of debate about it.
Just no
@@silvereloking6149Yes
11:03 Samoa Joe sure loves this spot
Rick Steiner falling for Buff's ruse again reminds me of Other babyfaces who can't smell swerves coming: Sting, Dusty Rhodes, Tommy Dreamer
Loved Wrath/Adam Bomb in WCW. Wish he got more of a push. The Meltdown always looked good.
I know right? It was always so crisp and he could snap the opponent down quickly. Looked like he killed them.
AT THE VERY LEAST.. Their plan for him was logical. Build up another winning streak so Nash could break it, so then there's doubt about Nash/Goldberg. It's so rare that WCW thinks long term, that I had zero issues with this one.
Nash kinda buried him but then he tore his acl from memory in early 99
Always loved WCW for their PPV set ups
Facts
Don’t love WCW, love SNICKERS😎
The gigantic Halloween Havoc demon DID look absolutely fantastic…anyone else ever wonder what became of these giant 90s/00s ppv props?
like everything cool from the 90's they were probably scrapped.
It's Sunday night and you know what that means! Reliving The War PPV review is here. And oh boy this one should be a doozy.
It's always an excellent weekend when RTW drops on Sundays.
Man I have been waiting for this video for so long. We are getting towards the end of the reign of prime WCW
On paper this was an amazing card. Steiner vs. Steiner, Nash vs. Hall, Sting vs. Bret, Hogan vs. Warrior... those are some prime dream matches and main events for the 90s.
Hogan and Warrior already happened, so did Nash and Hall
@@gqsmoove87yea but different character changes and storylines
I just wanna say I appreciate you.
You're doing work that's bringing joy and reprise into people's lives.
You're a saint mate.
0:31 Don't you mean WCW 'Slash' nWo Halloween Havoc? Hogan was really excited about that 'slash' in that video and now I'm obsessed with it. You should seriously use it as a soundbite in a future RTW video. I'm sure there will be somewhere it can be used.
😃
Always makes my day seeing Wrestling Bios in my notifications.
Interestingly enough, WCW would go on to win the following Nitro in the ratings. After a series of losses no less. However, it would also be their very last win of The War. Bitter sweet victory for WCW, likely that bump in the numbers were the PPV viewers just tuning in to find out what the hell happened the night before. This is a pivotal point in the decline of WCW.
It's the very definition of a hollow victory. They wont that night's ratings war, but mainly cause many people wanted to tune in just to see what happened between DDP and Goldberg due to their own incompetence that cost them a lot more money.
The fact they never beat the WWF again after that is quite telling of their state of affairs.
ddp's feud with savage showed he could be a star. ddp's match with goldberg proved he could be champion.
20% of people missed Goldberg's greatest entrance? Damn it WCW.
I'm one of em. First WCW ppv I ever ordered to watch live and the damn feed goes black in the Hogan Warrior match and never came back!
It was also his best WCW match and one of the few where you didn’t know if he would win or lose since Page was on fire since June
Love those old thematic WCW PPV sets. Halloween Havoc and Bash at the Beach were the best.
The crowd reaction to the Steiner feud is indicative of how getting people invested in a payoff is always going to work. Rick was not going to be a singles star at this point, but was cheered like one for a few weeks. Just like a decade earlier when Virgil, yes Virgil, was also cheered like a top star when he finally stood up to the million dollar man. Again, Virgil was never going to headline WrestleMania as champion, but the few months after he turned on dibiase he was cheered like a top star.
I was a kid when Virgil turned on Ted DiBiase and it was *epic* to me.
Have we ever seen The Mufuggin One perform a chinlock? I’m not sure the world could handle such a deadly force.
Aww yeah. Been waiting on this one. I saw this live in Las Vegas when I was a kid. Got my home made sign confiscated for being inappropriate. Even though looking back the show wasn't all that great, for me at 9 years old, it was magic.
What did the sign say?
@worthatrey1992 hogan you can suck this with a sign pointing down. Security guard caught me putting it up pre-show. Dude had like a stack of 15 or so signs.
A 9yr old with a "suck this ⬇️" sign. Damn I miss the 90s!
Halloween Havoc is such a great PPV theme. Loved the set dressings on these.
Facts
Uh Oh! I've been waiting to hear your take on the whole Hollywood Hogan/Ultimate Warrior match. It is completely the antithesis of their WM 6 encounter.
It’s a physical representation of the difference between the booking of WCW and the booking of WWF.
Ah yes Halloween Havoc 1998
The PPV where People were able to see the Main Event or weren't able to see the Main Event because many Cable and Satellite Providers that carried the PPV crashed
1998…excitement through the roof as I prepare to watch my all time favorite wrestlers battle in a dream match for the U.S. title. As soon as the match ended, the disappointment I felt was so strong, that it took another year before I would watch another WCW PPV live.
You can back for ppvs in 99 for wcw? You masochist..
And how did that pan out, given it was a WCW 1999 PPV?
There were still good PPVs in 99. Spring Stampede, Superbrawl, and Mayhem were all very solid.
Bro the buff bagwell coming back in the bill Clinton mask had me dying 😂😂😂
I remember seeing this PPV & thinking too myself that Rick Steiner looked absolutely unstoppable. The odds he overcame were insane.
Rick Steiner was impressive here. Still shocked by his comments about Trans people like Giselle Shaw, honestly she looks pretty despite not being biologically a woman
@BrianRobinson-pg7sh The vast majority of men aren't interested in seeing other men in a sexual way. T*s are offensive to straight men because it's viewed as if they're trying to trick or deceive dudes into seeing them as women. It's dishonesty; but it's stupid because it's pretty obvious to spot a man that's dressed as a woman. Not only are we expected to accept their "lived truth" they also try to force normal people into changing the way we speak around them. I'm not on board with any of it & I'm not going to be kind to these liars. I don't know what Steiner said, but he's an old school badass. They don't get much more masculine than the Steiners. So I would imagine he wasn't kind. More power to him.
its a man pretending to be a woman. not everyone is gonna clap and applaud it
On Australian Cable when the Satellite died, it remained out for ages - The cable helpline overloaded - So we called the old installation number and got straight through, the poor girl was completely panicked seeing the helpline lit up - As a no refund apology they replayed the entire PPV unannounced throughout the day & night. 1998 pre internet fun times !!
You can easily see where WCW went wrong. And, of course, it all really started to show those cracks and unravel all the way back at Starrcade 97. Unfortunately, Goldberg vs. DDP was a bright star in a sea of garbage.
Good luck to us all going through the rest of the "war." lol
I miss the elaborate production entrances that WCW/WWF used to have back in the 90's.
Elaborate but not over the top like todays.
I have been waiting so long for Halloween havoc and the legendary fireball 🔥 😂
I held on with WCW after War Games. Even after that PPV hurt me as a 15 year old that saved the cash to buy it.
I was done after seeing the Halloween Havoc dirt sheets the following morning. Fully committed to WWF after.
I was at this show in Las Vegas Followed by Monday Nitro in PHX. On my flight home several wrestlers were on flight I sat next to Doug Dillinger. I did not bother any of them they looked angry. Especially Eddie Guerrero at Sky Harbor baggage claim.
Because he was left off the PPV?
Wrestling Bios... The best there is, the best there was and the best that ever will be. Keep up the great work!
It definitely has the jam!
Let's face it. There was no way that Hulk and Warrior were going to repeat or succeed their epic encounter at Wrestlemania VI. That match stunk worse than unwashed gym socks. As for the main event, maybe if they dropped some unneeded segments such as the Nitro Girls, then maybe those who purchased the show would've seen the entire main event. Even though they played it on Nitro the next night, many viewers felt robbed.
Yeah and it's surprising that nobody in WCW realised this thing. Hogan carried warrior at mania 6 and 1998 Hogan was simply too beaten up to carry ultimate Warrior in a match. That's the reason why Hogan took all the responsibility for this match
DDP and Goldberg had the best match of the night and nobody at home saw it
I have so much nostalgia for the DDP Goldberg match. I had just barely gotten into wrestling and this was probably the second or third PPV I’d ever seen and I just remember being so enthralled and I loved both of them and couldn’t decide who should win. I didn’t want the streak to end but if DDP had broken it I wouldn’t have still been happy.
Been waiting to hear you cover DDP v Goldberg ever since this show started building
DDP shouldve won the title that night. It wouldve made the ppv way more memorable as well as given Goldberg something to come back from and build towards.
That Goldberg leg sweep reversal was insane I always knew he was beast In his earlier days but that caught me off guard 🔥
The WCW Revenge music in the background of ‘98 Halloween Havoc is a nostalgia bomb I never knew I needed.
This was the second wrestling PPV I ever watched as a kid and it felt like a spectacle to me. Every match seemed huge and important, the set was awesome and they hyped the PPV for WEEKS much more than normal. While I was looking forward to Hogan vs Warrior, it was the DDP vs Goldberg match that solidified me as a wrestling fan and the one I was most excited for. I have pictures of back then and I am always doing the diamond cutter in them, he made me such a fan of his even though he lost. The match still holds up today and is probably the best WCW match ever, and was between two homegrown WCW stars, which were rare lol.
Oh you should’ve seen when ddp went to wwe he was a amazing there…..no really
that goldberg entrance is iconic though
That hogan-warrior build up, and match will always be the greatest bollocks in wrestling 👏
I don't know what people saw in Warrior. I mean Hogan was known behind the scenes as being an ass but Warrior was 10x worse and a lousy human being
Gobbledy Gooker has to be a close second, imagine who could have come outta that egg!’
Reminds me of Disney Star Wars sequels hyped but garbage a fail comparison of the original.
3 words dungeon of doom 😂
I mean it been great to see build form start to finish however the promo and Hulk being doing the same over and over again is annoying!
Been waiting for this. Wrestling bios videos are always so insightful
I'm not sure if I'm ready to watch this.
At least there's the DDP/Goldberg match. DDP should've won. Not sure if it's mentioned here but DDP (obviously) thinks giving him the win would've been the right move, and I agree. Should've built him up as the huge underdog and gave him the win like Tyson losing to Douglas. Would've been a cool story.
Especially given how the streak eventually ends. Another case of WCW choosing to prevent stars from being created.
Would have been better than how the steak eventually ended.
If Goldberg didn’t get hot in 1998 I feel like DDP would have won the title. They waited to long to pull the trigger on him and then they turn him heel because WCW can’t give fans any happy ending
Lol no. You aren't thinking right. You just like DDP.
Goldbergs entrance was epic for this PPV.
This was my first WCW PPV I attended live. It's a shame that thebfeed cut off for most, because I easily consider this Goldberg's best match. Sure, they replayed it on nitro the next night but there was no suspense to it by then. Playing Monday morning quarterback, I would have saved DDP versus Goldberg for Starrcade, and put Page over clean. He deserved it, and would've continued to be massively over with the fans. Oh well..
I agree it's Goldberg's best match by far and that DDP should have gone over. He was one of the few bright spots in WCW at the time and him winning the belt may have led to me watching more Nitro.
I'm the type who could see some conspiracy in this PPV. I get the feeling that it was front loaded and padded to hell with throwaway matches, pointless promos and the Nitro Girls just to cut down on the main event on purpose just so Hogan/Warrior could truly be the last match.
I like this style of PPV review better than others I've seen. nice work!
Surely this show won't end before the main event
Thank you for the great effort you always put with these @WrestlingBios! Best ways to spend Sunday’s and anytime you release new videos.
Tonight men as close as brothers torn apart by vice, a hit man trying to take his shot against a scorpion, two titans of the industry do the dance one more time in a clash of block buster proportions, and the world heavy-*thank you for watching.*
It's easy to "slog through" this stuff when you make it so entertaining to watch. Keep up the good / hard work!
I remember my dad recorded this for me. It was very special.
Looking forward to this one for ages
Why would anyone leave a dislike on this guy? Its a brilliant channel ,i look forward to the Sunday nights upload!😊
did he say something about that? I ask bc we are unable to see the dislikes since YT took it away.
@@JoeyMartzNo mate ,the dislikes are only tiny compared to likes.
If you use TH-cam Revanced you see dislikes 👍
Oh buddy, here we go
It’s great getting to see a look back at og wcw payper views. Still remember that Friday night war of wcw tnt in the uk at 9pm . And raw at 10pm . The days I miss.
Goldberg/DDP was shown the next night on Nitro and the announcers hyped it as a special treat and a bold move to show the previous night's main event for free. I was unaware at the time that they had no choice but to show it due to WCW's screw up.
This video picked up my day. Thank you
I've never found a source to back this up, but I heard from the rumor mill that the original plan waa for DDP to beat Goldberg. The week of the PPV was when TV Guide had a series release with different WCW guys on the covers and Goldberg's had him with the belt. Apparently either Bischoff or Kevin Sullivan said if people then tuned into Nitro and Goldberg wasn't champ it would confuse them.
I finished eating lunch and saw this recommended for me! Great way to relax after eating lunch! Great way to spend almost 40 minutes of my Sunday!
35:16 look at the guy in the green shirt front row. The absolute shock and excitement on their face when they turn to their friend like “Oh my God it’s actually happening!” *THAT* is what makes wrestling amazing!
It is still crazy to me to think that it was only 8 years between the two Hogan/Warrior matches. When I was a kid that was a lifetime. Now that I’m an adult it seems like nothing.
I guess hulk missed the Jerry Lawler fire throwing class he was probably making a Oscar winning movie
Charles Robinson with the best ref bump of the night/year right there! 🤣
I remember switching back and forth to wcw and wwf and when they said the Goldberg ddp match was gonna be shown for free I tape that match and use to watch goldbergs entrance before I use to go to the gym
There's really no way to really explain to someone who wasn't there just how over ddp was during this time.
He should have ended the streak. Much better than what happened at Starrcade.
97-98 was his breakout season
Yes there is. You people just exaggerate things.
@@martynodonnell
Lol no, he has no credibility. This would be as if Jeff Hardy ended undertaker streak in 2009 just because he was popular... No way.
Name any of time someone wrestled w/ a talk short in the main event of a ppv & it worked? Yea right man. That was his moment.
They did all this..and Rick Steiner really got no singles push after this match.
The Goldberg entrance on this PPV was f****** amazing!
You did this PPV way more justice then it deserves. It’s kinda sneaky good.
Been waiting for this part of the war since the beginning!
"What a guy, what a F**kin* guy!" 😅😂 Awesome
Best wrestling content out there today great thing to come home from work to!
For me this is the set i think of when my brain instantly thinks of pro wrestling
Another awesome PPV review from Wrestling Bios.
Thats splash from Jericho to the outside straight into the rail was a brutal bump
Great trip down memory lane. I totally forgot that PPV cut out before the main event. Total amateur hour; they were starting to circle the drain long before Vince Russo came aboard.
This show features so many things. Goldberg’s best match that goes more than 5 minutes, the bizarre sight of Wolfpac Sting with a goatee, and one of the worst matches in the history of wrestling featuring arguably the biggest name in wrestling history and one of the most amazing wrestling stages ever.
