Halloween Havoc '98: A Night of Thrills and Spills at the MGM Grand Arena!

Las Vegas, NV - October 25th, 1998. The MGM Grand Arena played host to a thrilling night of professional wrestling as World Championship Wrestling (WCW) presented its annual Halloween Havoc pay-per-view event. In front of a packed crowd of 10,663 enthusiastic fans, the cream of WCW's roster put on a show for the ages.

Early Contenders Shine

The evening kicked off with Chris Jericho successfully defending his WCW World Television Title against Raven in a hard-hitting match that showcased both men's impressive technical prowess. The winner's time in the ring was a mere 7:49, a testament to the pace and intensity of their contest.

Wrath and Meng clashed in the opening singles bout, with Wrath emerging victorious after a brief but brutal encounter lasting just 4:23 minutes. Meanwhile, Disco Inferno and Juventud Guerrera engaged in a high-flying match that saw the former retain his title against the challenger, clocking in at 9:39.

A Wrightful Effort

Alex Wright looked to be on course for an upset victory when he took down Fit Finlay in a tidy 5:09-minute encounter. However, it was the evening's Cruiserweight Championship bout that truly stole the show as Kidman and Disco Inferno went toe-to-toe in a thrilling match that ultimately saw Kidman retain his title after 10:49 minutes of action.

Tag Team Turmoil

The WCW World Tag Team Title was up for grabs when Buff Bagwell and Rick Steiner faced off against nWo Hollywood. The outcome? A decisive victory for the champions, who proved too strong for their opponents in a match that showcased both teams' impressive teamwork.

Steiner Brothers Rivalry Heats Up

In an intense No Disqualification contest, Rick Steiner bested his brother Scott in a grueling 4:46-minute bout. The animosity between these two brothers is palpable, and it will be fascinating to see how this rivalry plays out in the coming weeks.

Scott Hall Snatches Victory from Nash

Kevin Nash's bid for revenge against Scott Hall fell short as the latter secured a hard-fought victory after 14:19 minutes of action. This match was a true test of endurance for both men, and it will be interesting to see how this rivalry unfolds.

United States Championship on the Line

Bret Hart successfully defended his WCW United States Title against Sting in an epic contest that clocked in at an impressive 15:04 minutes. Both competitors left everything they had in the ring, making for a truly unforgettable match.

Hollywood Hogan Seals His Fate

In a singles bout that was more about posturing than actual wrestling, Hollywood Hogan emerged victorious over The Warrior after 14:20 minutes of action. This result did little to advance any meaningful storylines, but it did provide a fittingly dramatic conclusion to the evening's main event.

Main Event Mayhem

Finally, Goldberg faced off against Diamond Dallas Page in the evening's marquee attraction - a World Heavyweight Title match.
