| CLASSIC EPISODE: WCW Halloween Havoc 1998 Deep Dive | 21 Oct 2024 | 02:18:04 | |
Recorded October 2020. (Episode 255) Join Vaughn Johnson and Nick Piccone for this classic episode as they dive deep into WCW's Halloween Havoc 1998! It took place on October 25, 1998 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Despite being red hot in 1997, WCW had its best fiscal year in 1998 and was setting records. Unfortunately, by October 1998, much of that money starting going down the drain as creative got worse and worse. This pay-per-view is the epitome of what laid ahead for WCW in the coming years. We got the Hogan vs. Warrior rematch. We wish we didn't. The undercard was brutal. The event wasn't even salvaged by a fantastic main event that featured Goldberg and Diamond Dallas Page ... perhaps Goldberg's best match ever! -- Follow us on Twitter/X [@_piccone] [@VaughnMJohnson] [@ShootersRadio] You can subscribe to The Straight Shooters on the following platforms: [Apple Podcasts] [Spotify] [iHeartRadio] [Amazon] [Audacy] [TuneIn Radio] [Pandora] and wherever else you get your podcasts! shooterspod.com Exclusive Patreon content: [patreon.com/shootersradio] --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shootersradio/support | |||

Recorded October 2020. (Episode 254) Join Vaughn Johnson and Nick Piccone for this classic episode as they dive deep into W̶C̶W̶ Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc 1997. It took place on October 26, 1997 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It garnered a 1.10 pay-per-view buyrate, and Nick was among those. WCW in 1997 was red hot and the road to Starrcade was no different. With a couple of bumps along the way, however, Halloween Havoc that year was a microcosm of what was to come for WCW.

It was arguably the most anticipated wrestling pay-per-view of all-time, and it marked the beginning of the end for WCW. The end product looked nothing like what was built up beforehand. The terrible finish, rash of injuries plaguing the roster causing massive card changes, bad timing, bad commentary, bad refereeing, just bad everything happened that night on December 28, 1997. -- Follow us on Twitter [@_piccone] [@VaughnMJohnson] [@theshooterspod] You can subscribe to The Straight Shooters on the following platforms: [Apple Podcasts] [Google Podcasts] [Spotify] [iHeartRadio] [Amazon] [Audacy] [TuneIn Radio] [Pandora] [Stitcher] [Spreaker] [Player FM] and wherever else you get your podcasts!
