Halloween Havoc '96 TSC Viewing Party on Sunday 10/16 @ 8PM EST

[Cartier Murphy]

Who really books a promo to close out a PPV though

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

These nikkas ended the PPV like that

If only there was the WCW Network in those days so they weren't at the mercy of those a$$hole PPV providers.

I think they aired the entire segment the next night on Nitro.

 

[CM_Burns]

Just skipped to the last segment...

Damn

Savage was so much iller as a tweener in WCW..his best era ever IMO

Yea he looked kind of goofy here. He was dope as a heel in 97 and face/tweener in 98

Like someone said earlier, they should have saved this segment for TV.

 

[Alexander The Great]

Was at a party...how was the ppv...idk if ive ever watched this one

feel like you would have loved this one. Hall and Nash were over like Gods.

When u think about it, this shyt had to happen. These guys were stale as hell in WWF. But they all were able to freshen up down south, and Vince needed time to rethink things and groom new stars.

WCW had a good run, but they were really just renting territory because all their stars were ex Vince McMahon guys. NWO in a lot of ways reinforced subconsciously in fans minds that WWF STARS were better.

Your crowd shouldn't be popping for WRESTLEMANIA references.

But that was a choice they made...there was NO REASON that they ran with piper, flair, and fukking kevin green for like five months as main protagonists to nwo...they did not need to keep going back into the well of old wwf rivalries...during the time of nwos run

They went to

Hogan vs savage (3x)
Hogan vs piper
Savage vs piper
Hogan vs warrior
Bret vs. Perfect
Hogan vs bret

YO THAT PAPA SHAnGO SHIRT HARD AS FUUUUCK tho

Daaaamn...i lost. Watching this last segment i think i watched it about a year ago.

Lets compare this ppv to Hell In a Cell when it happens so we can see how much of a difference October 1996 booking is compared to October 2016 booking

Yeah they showed their hand... Shoulda mixed some new guys in and got them over.

Goldberg was their last hope as far as creating their OWN stars. They shyt the bed with everyone else. Built Sting up and then let him get his ass whooped all match at Starrcade. That shyt shoulda been a squash.

I'm watching the next night on Nitro. That Crow gimmick was amazing.

Yeah Breh it's worth it for the Harlem Heat v. Outsiders Match alone. shyt was epic.

I'm good

 

[El Guapo]

Hogan brought in everyone he never beat and made sure he got his Ws back.

Surprised dude never got his W over Goldberg back

When Yoko died, I remember my first thought was RIP and my second thought was "Well, I guess Hogan won't be able to bring him in "

This was a dope ppv. WCW's main events were usually always the weakest matches on their ppvs during the Nitro era. but the undercards were always good to great. They were great on this night. I enjoyed this thread so much we should do this a couple times a month and not let months and months go by.
