Ranking Every Halloween Havoc From Worst To Best

WCW Halloween Havoc 1990 Sting Sid Vicious
WWE

Go out of your way to see The Steiner Brothers vs. The Nasty Boys from this pay-per-view, and then follow that up with a quick watch of matches like Stan Hansen vs. Lex Luger and Doom vs. Ric Flair and Arn Anderson. All three are good, old-fashioned NWA-style action, and there's something lovable about that.

Unfortunately, the Sting vs. Sid Vicious main event lets the side down a little; that's more a surprise than you might think, because the Stinger seemed like the ideal man to bounce around for Sid and make him look like a million bucks (think Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels). It's not awful, but hardly great stuff.

The 'Black Scorpion' angle midway through the show is also tantamount to torture. It was a rotten gimmick, and the 'fake' Sting trope always felt bogus.

Best Moment: The Steiners and Nasty Boys beating the sh*t out of one another.

Worst Moment: The Black Scorpion.
