WCW Nitro

Phoenix, Arizona
October 26, 1998

Many fans were unable to see Halloween Havoc's awesome main event match between Diamond Dallas Page and Goldberg. After having a series of meetings, WCW execs decided to give fans the event, once again, completely free during Nitro. To prove that the replay truly wasn't a ploy for ratings, the promotion gave fans the enormous bout during the middle hour, instead of at the program's end.

In other news, Scott Hall and the Giant attacked Kevin Nash in the dressing room, Bischoff teased Flair with an in-ring appearance and the Warrior struck revenge on NWO Hollywood.

Match Results

Stevie Ray d. Kenny Kaos
Stevie Ray found out that Kaos had more than just muscle power in this quick bout, but the High Voltage member never got a chance to finish fairly. After turning once again on Rick Steiner at Halloween Havoc, Bagwell brought a blackjack to the ring, distracted the referee and gave the NWO Enforcer a chance to use the international object and win. Post-match, Rick Steiner saved Kaos from a further beating, and offered the rookie a chance to fight with The Dog-Faced Gremlin as a tag team champ. Kaos considered his allegiance to Rage, but still accepted the unbelievable opportunity.

Kanyon with Raven d. Prince Iaukea
After Kanyon asked the crowd, "Who's better than Kanyon?" the Raven crony attacked Iaukea when the crowd responded unfavorably. The Prince remained level-headed and retook control, but suffered a Flatliner after a quick exchange of counters.

Alex Wright d. Barry Horowitz
After attaining an impressive win over Fit Finley at HH, Wright continued his crusade to prove he is Europeís greatest wrestler. The German Superstar won with the Hangman's Neckbreaker.

Wrath d. Sick Boy
Since Meng's strength seemed ineffective against Wrath last night, Sick Boy tried the high-flying approach... with similar results. Wrath grounded the aerialist, and did some Luchador-style work himself. In the end, Sick Boy came down with a case of The Meltdown and a loss.

Halloween Havoc Main Event: Goldberg vs. Diamond Dallas Page
World Heavyweight Title Match

Saturn d. Eddie Guerrero
Due to flight complications, this match had to be delayed until tonight. An amazing match-up, Saturn and the LWO leader exchanged some bullying, as well as many high-impact maneuvers. Saturn looked ready to apply the Death Valley Driver, when the Latino World Order arrived. After a tough battle, Saturn fell to the numbers.

Kenny Kaos and Rick Steiner d. Giant and Stevie Ray
World Tag Team Title Match
Kenny tried to make the best of his break, but found himself a bit overwhelmed. Rick faired better. With the help of Kaos, The Dog-Faced Gremlin managed to hit a Steinerdog and take a win.

Kidman d. Juventud Guerrera
Cruiserweight Title Match
This long-time feud only seems to get better with time. Juventud tried to regain his belt from the former Flocker and utilized everything from hurracanranas to brain busters to a leg drop DDT. But Kidman answered everything with brilliant counters and, finally, a Shooting Star Press.

Lex Luger and Konnan vs. Scott Hall and Scott Steiner
This battle of NWO factions deteriorated into a brawl before the bell rang. Between punches and rail shots, Luger set up for his Torture Rack, but could never take it to completion. The fight became so savage, the referee eventually called the match; security was brought down to separate the competitors and clear the ring.

Diamond Dallas Page d. Bret Hart
US Title Match
After giving their souls on Sunday, Page and Hart put on another brutal and even match. The fabric of the match broke apart when Hart simultaneously hit both Page and the referee with a Down Under mule kick. Hart tried to use the opportunity to pound DDP with some brass knuckles, but ended up on the business end of a Diamond Cutter. Post-match, the Hitman demolished Pageís knee with a chair and then applied the Scorpion Deathlock. As Nitro ended, Goldberg ran to the ring to save his Halloween Havoc opponent.
