10 Things Everybody Hates About AMAZING Wrestling Matches
10. WCW Screws Up PPV
Match: Goldberg vs. DDP (WCW Halloween Havoc 1998)
Why People Hate It: Oh, World Championship Wrestling. A promotion so guilty of oversights that entire books have been penned about them. At Halloween Havoc 1998, WCW was still hot sh*t, but they damaged some customer goodwill by failing to clear a pay-per-view run over with the cable companies.
So, those who purchased Havoc saw their feeds go dark whilst the main event between DDP and Goldberg was still in progress. Hollywood Hogan and Warrior had gone over their own time, so the main didn't have enough to work with and folks weren't exactly happy about it.
Here's the thing: Havoc '98's headliner was Goldberg's best ever WCW match. It was a competitive, hard-fought cracker that delighted the live crowd and deserved to be seen by the world. Trust WCW management to screw it all up by overlooking something so simple though.
This has become the bout's legacy - not the fact it was awesome.
