2. 1995

Forget the serviceable matches had by Johnny B. Badd and DDP, or Sabu and Mr. JL. Forget even the two bad ones wrestled by Randy Savage on this pay-pay-view. Ditch all of that, dear reader, and instead focus on some of the most preposterous sh*t to ever go down on a WCW card, because Halloween Havoc 1995 was a delightful catastrophe.

Ric Flair pulls perhaps the most obvious heel turn of all time while teaming with Sting to face Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman. It's a fun, well-worked match, and Flair is wonderfully over-the-top as he hams it up on the outside, preparing to pull the trigger on his career rival. It's a riot, and essential viewing if you want to know where the "gullible Sting" reputation comes from.

Things only get more preposterous from there.

There's Monster Truck Sumo match on the building's roof that ends with The Giant literally getting thrown off the arena by Hulk Hogan, seemingly plummeting to the ground. Later, the future Big Show literally no-sells death by coming down for his main event with Hogan, which finish on a disqualification when Hulk's manager, Jimmy Hart, hit the referee, somehow costing Hogan the belt.

We can't not mention, The Yeti - sorry, YEH-TAY - though. This was peak Dungeon of Doom bullsh*t as the giant, shambling beast wandered down all bandaged up like an Egyptian mummy, then dry-humped Hogan with The Giant in one of WCW's most infamous moments. The kind of guff WrestleCrap was invented for to cap one of the most perversely entertaining so-bad-it's-great pay-per-views ever.
