10 Things You Didn’t Know About WCW Halloween Havoc

1. The WCW World Title Never Officially Changed Hands On The Event

Between the NWA and WCW World Championships, the top title in the company was defended a lot at Halloween Havoc. Interestingly, the WCW International World Heavyweight Title was also on the line at the event in 1993, when Rick Rude battled Ric Flair. As several shows went off the air, fans were under the impression that a new World Champion had been crowned. In 1995, The Giant beat Hulk Hogan by disqualification. Jimmy Hart, Hulk's manager, turned on him and nailed the referee to end the bout. It seemed like The Giant had won the title, because Hart claimed he'd slyly inserted a clause into the contract for the match which meant the title could change hands on a DQ. This was reversed quickly, and the belt was vacated. Similarly, the 1999 Havoc went off the air with fans assuming Goldberg was the new World Champ. Earlier in the show, Hogan had decided to lie down for Sting, allowing the latter to defend his title. In the main event, Goldberg beat Sting in an "Unsanctioned" match to supposedly bag the belt. Due to Sting's attack of the referee during the match, J.J Dillon vacated the title the next night on Nitro. This means that the WCW World Title never officially changed hands at Halloween Havoc.
