Those who weren't around to experience it firsthand should check out the vast amount of silliness WCW peddled throughout the 1990's on the WWE Network. If Uncensored was regularly a host event for nonsense, Halloween Havoc seemed intent on matching it. In 1991, that pay-per-view actually surpassed anything Uncensored could achieve in the future.

Looking for an impressive way to open up the 1991 version of the show, WCW top brass came up with the 'Chamber Of Horrors'. Inside a cavernous cage, El Gigante teamed with Sting and The Steiner Brothers to face Abdullah The Butcher, The Diamond Studd, Big Van Vader and Cactus Jack.

The sole object of the match was to sit an opponent down in the 'Chair Of Torture' and flick the switch to electrocute them. Sadly, WCW's camera crew caught the switch in the 'On' position more than once, meaning poor Mick Foley had to first move it to 'Off' before accidentally frying Abdullah.

As the first match on the pay-per-view, the Chamber was completely shocking (pun intended). What a concept; electrocution in a pro wrestling bout.
