10 Greatest Wrestling Matches In Halloween Havoc History

10. Goldberg Vs Diamond Dallas Page (1998)

DDP is sometimes remembered more as an inspirational figure - for his work with Scott Hall and Jake Roberts, for getting into wrestling so late - than as a great wrestler, but in the headline act - and saving grace - of Halloween Havoc 1998, he serves up a reminder of how good he could be in the ring. Not altogether too far into his career, he brought a career best match out of Goldberg and put on an underdog performance for the ages.

Goldberg was cemented at the top of the heap and deep into his first winning streak. He was always going to marmalise plucky common man Page, and for much of the match that’s what he does, no-selling offence, knocking down Page with ease.

The match suddenly turns after a Goldberg charge sees him whack the ring post, and suddenly, an amazing sense of belief sweeps through the crowd. DDP centres his offense on Goldberg’s battered ribs, slips out of a Jackhammer, and almost sees his foe off with the Diamond Cutter.

It’s not to be - Goldberg eventually scoops up DDP and pins him - but the spirited performance fully wins over the crowd, and forces big Bill to gut one out instead of steamrolling his guy. A worthy main event, which had the misfortune to follow the true dross of Hogan Warrior II.
