15 Exact Moments WCW Booking Stopped Making Sense

The Giant was WCW's big heel hope in 1995. Originally, the promotion told fans that he was Andre The Giant's son, but that eventually faded once the first chapter of his feud with Hulk Hogan had ended. It was a silly plot point anyway, but even that was no more or less silly than what transpired at Halloween Havoc 1995. There, Giant survived a fall off the top of a nearby building to wrestle in the main event later that same night.

Made of stern stuff, Andre's boy.

WCW promoted a monster truck battle between vehicles representing Hulk and Giant earlier in the pay-per-view. It took place atop the nearby Cobo Hall (Havoc was inside Detroit's Joe Louis Arena), and it was Hogan's truck that took the 'W'. Knowing WCW, it's a slight surprise they didn't immediately deem this truck the new number one contender and have it challenge the winner of the headliner.

Hulk vs. The Hulkster Truck could've been huge for World War 3. Huge. It wasn't to be though. Post-Twisted Metal lite, Hogan and The Giant began brawling. That's when Paul Wight fell to his apparent doom off the side of Cobo Hall. Remarkably, he was perfectly fine to work a near-15 minute WCW World Title bout vs. Hogan less than a few hours afterwards.

Giant won that match by disqualification. Of course he won - if he wasn't going to sell for concrete and gravity, then even big Terry was getting nothing out of him. Seriously though, why did they book someone to fall off an actual building and survive to wrestle the same night?

The world may never know.
