Ranking Every Halloween Havoc From Worst To Best

6. 1989

WCW Halloween Havoc 1989 ThunderDome
WWE

Yes, the original 'ThunderDome'.

Halloween Havoc 1989 is where things start to pick up on this list. Doom vs. The Steiner Brothers was classic big dudes throwing one another around stuff, Brian Pillman did his best to pry a good match out of defending United States Champ (and all-round muscle head) Lex Luger, and the main event has gimmicky appeal.

It's definitely weird to see Bruno Sammartino guest-reffing a main event tag match inside a cage reminiscent of WWE's later Hell In A Cell - brace yourselves for that strange visual. However, the headliner's action was solid and the talent sufficient enough that it never dragged.

Best Moment: That 'ThunderDome' cage.

Worst Moment: The Dynamic Dudes. Generally.
