Every WCW Halloween Havoc Ranked Worst To Best

This was the first Halloween Havoc to go down on Vince Russo's watch. Appropriately, it stinks.

This was a night of needless swerves, worked shoots, and other such guff. A pay-per-view stuffed with more fake edginess than a RETRIBUTION career retrospective, the closest thing to "good" was Eddie Guerrero vs. Perry Saturn, though even that was sullied by Ric Flair whomping Eddie with a crowbar for the finish. Afterwards, 'The Nature Boy' forced a kiss on Billy Kidman's partner, Torrie Wilson, reminding you this was a gross, gross era.

Sting had a terrible night. First, Hulk Hogan laid down for him after delaying his ring entrance then coming out in street clothes. The match was called even though the opening bell never rang. The World Champion then met United States Champion Goldberg in what was billed as a non-title match. He was crushed in three minutes - and Goldberg was named WCW Champion anyway, because... reasons?

The bad stuff on Halloween Havoc 1999 isn't even funny-bad: it's largely unwatchable, and not worth enduring to get to the paltry "highs".
