Welcome back wrestling fans!
I knew I wanted to do something special for Halloween this month but had to move plans up by a week, given that next week will be another edition of Wrestling Roulette! So this week we'll be doing a special Halloween feature for the blog, I'll be formatting it very similar to how I'd do Wrestling Roulette where I review a whole bunch of matches instead of 2 like I usually do. I've already decided what we'll be watching for the week so there's no need to spin the wheel (and make the deal!) and I'll be reviewing them in order.
What is "them," you may be asking? It's a match from every single WCW Halloween Havoc event, of course! I went through CAGEMATCH and looked at every event, all the way from 1989 to 2000, and picked out one match that stood out to me. Some are historically significant in how well they are received now, some for the opposite reason, and some are on there because there was nothing else of note on the card! I tried to not pick the same wrestlers more than once and was kinda able to stick to that rule, but there will be some repeats on here just because the matches they had are worth viewing. For better or for worse.
Seriously, this might be the biggest mixed bag of match quality I've seen so far. I got whiplash from some of these matches it was so severe at times. A real case of "trick or treat" you could say? I'll show myself out.
While working on this review, I came to realize that reviewing 12 matches, even if I only give them a few paragraphs, is a lot to do for one week. So, with that in mind, this weeks post is going to feature matches from the first 6 Halloween Havoc's. Next week's will be Wrestling Roulette, as scheduled, and the week after will be part 2, featuring the remaining 6 Halloween Havoc matches. We'll return to our regularly scheduled bullshit for Watchlist 022.
