Urgh, again?!

Yes, WWE wheeled out Chucky the doll to intro Halloween Havoc. This actually got an 'Up' during last year's show recap, but there was no chance of a repeat here. Sure, Chuck only popped up during the opening video package (or as a background figure backstage) and he does have a show to promote, but enough is enough.

Hearing that creaking "playtime is over" line followed by the same old laugh didn't launch Halloween Havoc with a fresh feel. The company really should've tried something new rather than bringing back Rick Steiner's old rival for yet another horror-themed cameo.

It's just boring at this point, and that's why this gets a 'Down'. Honestly, can we have Elvira or...literally any other campy horror icon next year? Christ, even putting Charles Wright in the Papa Shango get-up and having him possess the intro would be better.
