50 Best WCW Moments Ever
50. Harlem Heat Become 10-Time Champs
It's the most WCW of WCW things to kick off this list with a historic moment that was so utterly confusing when it happened. At Halloween Havoc 1999, Booker T and Stevie Ray teamed up to take on Brian Knobbs and Hugh Morrus as well as Konnan and Billy Kidman (who thought they were champs going in) in a three-way tag 'Street Fight'. It was something to behold.
Typical weapon-based brawling off the day took place, then the finish had everyone scratching their heads. Technically, Harlem Heat scored a pinfall backstage a few minutes before one occurred out in front of the fans. It'd take ring announcer David Penzer to thrash that out before revealing that Heat had won their 10th set of WCW Tag-Team Titles.
This was colossal for the brothers.
The maddening booking would be a portent of things to come under Vince Russo's watch, but Harlem Heat fans were happy at Havoc '99 and rightfully so. Starting this collection of iconic WCW moments off with a celebration of something the promotion definitely did right (pushing Heat and tag wrestling in general) feels good.
