GOLDEN DREAMS REALIZED: GOLDBERG CAPTURES WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AS 'Halloween Havoc' UNFOLDS IN LAS VEGAS
The MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada played host to the much-anticipated "Halloween Havoc" pay-per-view event on October 24th, 1999. The sold-out crowd of 8,464 fans witnessed a thrilling night of action-packed professional wrestling, as World Championship Wrestling (WCW) presented its latest extravaganza.
The evening kicked off with a spirited Cruiserweight Title bout between Disco Inferno and Lash LeRoux. In a match that showcased the high-flying antics of both competitors, Disco Inferno emerged victorious, securing the pin in 7:35 minutes to retain his championship reign.
Next up was a Falls Count Anywhere Triangle Match for the WCW World Tag Team Titles, featuring Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) against The Filthy Animals (Kidman and Konnan), as well as The First Family. In an unpredictable and chaotic affair, Harlem Heat ultimately prevailed, adding to their impressive resume.
In singles action, Eddie Guerrero and Perry Saturn locked horns in a hard-hitting encounter that left both men battered and bruised. Guerrero's technical prowess proved decisive, as he claimed the win in 11:12 minutes.
The first half of the event concluded with Brad Armstrong and Berlyn engaging in a brief but intense contest. Armstrong's power and aggression ultimately earned him the victory, via pinfall, in just 4:23 minutes.
Following intermission, the main card resumed with Rick Steiner and Chris Benoit competing for the WCW World Television Title. Steiner's impressive strength and agility allowed him to secure the title, as he pinned Benoit in a match that lasted approximately 10 minutes.
The Total Package, a dominant force in the WCW Universe, faced off against the legendary Bret Hart in a highly anticipated singles bout. In a closely contested affair, The Total Package emerged victorious, pinning Hart in 7:46 minutes to further solidify his position as a top contender.
The main event of the evening saw Sting and Hulk Hogan clash for the World Heavyweight Title. In a shocking turn of events, Sting scored the quick win via pinfall mere seconds into the match, leaving many wondering about the motivations behind Hogan's sudden surrender.
As if the night couldn't get any more dramatic, the WCW United States Title was on the line when Goldberg faced off against Sid Vicious. The crowd erupted as Goldberg delivered his patented Jackhammer to secure the victory and retain his title reign.
The evening concluded with Diamond Dallas Page and Ric Flair engaging in a brutal Strap Match. In a hard-hitting affair that tested both men's limits, Page emerged victorious, retaining his strap and proving himself once again as a force to be reckoned with.
In the night's final surprise, Goldberg faced off against Sting for the World Heavyweight Title once more. This time around, however, there was no quick win or sudden surrender – Goldberg dominated the match, pinning Sting in approximately 10 minutes to become the new champion.
As the dust settled on an unforgettable "Halloween Havoc," one thing is certain: Goldberg's reign at the top of the WCW hierarchy has officially begun. The question on everyone's mind now is: who will be able to stop this unstoppable force?
