This is a great video. It was one of the best 1998 WCW ppvs, next to SuperBrawl and Uncensored. Anyway, the undercard was decent and the double main-event was very good. Like all of Hulk Hogan's matches, there was a lot of hype, but not as much action. Don't get me wrong, the match was good, but the ending royally sucked. But the best match of the evening was the second half of the double main-event: Goldberg vs. Diamond Dallas Page for the world heavyweight title. In my opinion, the match was one of the best WCW title matches in 1998, with one of the highlights being a tremendous backflip from Goldberg. And for the first time ever, someone kicked out of the Diamond Cutter! You can go buy this video from some video store for much cheaper than Amazon's price. This video is highly recommended!

This video was not worth watching on PPV, nor was it worth renting. If you want to see it, you can rent any WWF video from the 80. Even the hyped Warrior and Hogan match was huge disappointment. If it was not for the DDP VS Goldberg match, I would have turned it off.

The TV title match between Chris Jericho-Raven was a hard-hitting,fast-paced brawl. Both Disco Inferno's matches against Juventud Guerrera & Billy Kidman for the Cruiserweight title were high-flying showstealers. The World tag team title match between the team of Rick Steiner & Buff Bagwell & the team of Scott Steiner & The Giant was pretty a 2-on-1 hanicap match with Bagwell turning on Rick to boot. The Scott Hall-Kevin Nash match was a hard-hitting brawl and it could have gone better without Nash walking out on the bout. The U.S. title match between Sting & Bret Hart was a pretty solid back-and-forth match even with Hart cheating at the end. The Hollywood Hogan-Warrior match was a sloppy,messy piece of monkey trash. The DDP-Goldberg-World title match was pretty good for a WCW/PPV title match. The rest were ok. I give this PPV a 7 out of 10.

Great except for the ending to the hogan warrior match, that was lame, other then that great PPV. Hopefully WWE can watch this to give their soap opera a few ideas.

WcW HAlloween Havoc '98

-TV Title:Chris Jericho vs. Raven

8/10 solid match

-Disco Inferno vs. Juvi

7/10 way better than expected of Disco

-Cruiserweight Title:Kidman vs. Disco Inferno

8/10 another great Disco performance, back and forth offense wrong man won

-Tag Titles:Scott Steiner and Big Show vs. Rick Steiner and Buff Bagwell

6/10 Buff is pointless,Rick tries to look good,awesome Big Show missile dropkick from the top.Too many damn low blows

-Scott Steiner vs. Rick Steiner

8/10 short and way better than the tag match but another pointless Buff. Both Rick and Scott do better than the first match experience.

-Kevin Nash vs. Scott Hall

8/10 an entertaining match to watch. slow at spots but has a steady pace with these 2 outsiders.

-US Title:Bret Hart vs. Sting

8/10 Starts slow but picks up in pace. Bret does a lot of the usual and Sting is more decisive in his ring moves (with the sinister goatee). Batdown ending

-the reurn match:Hollywood Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior

7/10 it is slow with some botched spots but not as bad as some people say. Defintly not a rematch classic to their 1st bout.

-World Title:Goldberg vs. DDP

10/10 A great fast paced match really back and forth for a Goldberg match (DDP carried GB). Nice moves and athleticism from both men. DDP is so underranked and laughed at as a wrestler but he is really good especially in this match. One of the final great WCW main events.

All in all a must have WCW tape. The card looked great and suceeded in delivering. MUST HAVE

E.T. Out!

Halloween Havoc 98 is one of the best wrestling cards of alltime on paper. It is not that the matches were not good it you just expected more. The crusier wieght matches were ok except for the fact disco fought twice. Hogan vs Warrior sucked it was terrible. Bret vs Sting was good but I expected spectacular as Bret usally pulls off. Goldberg vs ddp was pretty good considering Goldberg is so terrible. Nash vs Hall was incrediblly dissaponting. But Rick Steiner did steal the show winning both tag belts. If you are a Rick stiener fan this is for you.

The Undercard matches were great plus the double main Event ruled!The only bad part was that Hogan had to cheat to win against the Warrior.

i expected more for this card,the hogan vs warrior math was horrible,i am an stinger fan but ,sting vs breat hart was bored,i liked goldeberg vs ddp,but the undercard was really bad,i was very dissapointed after seeing this video.

Almost every match is worth watching. Goldberg/Page:superb(best match); It was enjoyable to watch Hart/Sting and Hogan/Warrior was not a great match but watching Warrior after years of absence is an awesome experience. The undercard keeps you awake and is suprisingly fun. By seeing this video, it is the only way to see what WCW didn't show from Hogan/Warrior. It was wise of me to use 3 hours and rent it. (best WCW ppv that I saw of '98)

I have this video and boy was this great. I loved every match. I was not to crazy about Warrior vs Hogan horrible match my god!!. They did a horrible job in that match. DDP vs Goldberg was a classic wish DDP would have won. I also though Raven vs Jericho was great. Kidman both of his matches were good! Nash and Hall was a straight slugfest. And Bret vs Sting was brutal buy it rent it record doesn't matter this is the last of WCW best pay per views
