WCW Presents: Halloween Havoc

       









   Jim Ross: "Hello once again wrestling fans and welcome to Halloween Havoc! I'm your host Jim Ross along side my broadcast partner, Jesse "The Body" Ventura and we are coming to you live from The Myriad in downtown Oklahoma City! And Jesse, do we have a show lined up tonight!"      




Jesse Ventura: "That's right Jim Ross! All of WCW's best are here tonight and I personally can't wait to see my man Big Van Vader defeat that drunkard, Steve Austin! And I know that would ruin your night because you and Austin are buddies!"         

  Jim Ross: "Well I've been known to have a beer or two with the man..... so what? But he will damned sure have a fight ahead of him as Vader is tough as a two dollar steak. All that and so much more tonight fans. But right now we are going to start things off with what should be a classic!"           




Match One: PAC vs Buddy Murphy w/Zelina Vega              

The crowd was really loud for this one, mostly in support for PAC. There was a slow pace early on. Muphy hit a backbreaker, so PAC rolled out to the floor and Murphy hit a springboard moonsault to take out PAC outside the ring. Murphy hit a big kick to the face for one. PAC came back with a forearm smash. Dropkick to the back by PAC followed by a chinlock to wear down Murphy. Nice running uppercut by PAC or two and he slowed the pace down with another chinlock. After Murphy got up, PAC knocked him down again with a missile dropkick. Murphy came back with a clothesline out of nowhere and then a dropkick. Headscissors by PAC. Murphy with a back body drop that sent PAC over the top. Murphy hit a flip dive over the top to take out PAC.

Back in the ring, Murphy hit a cross body block off the top for two. Murphy caught PAC on his shoulders, then spun him around into a powerbomb, 1.....2.....for a two count.  Fans were chanting “this is awesome” for that. PAC connected with another running uppercut and then a boot to the face. PAC hit a bridging German Suplex for two. After another fast paced sequence, PAC hit a sitout Powerbomb, 1.....2......NO!! He was shocked that it wasn’t enough for the win. They did a slugfest spot where they exchanged blows in the center of the ring. Murphy won that battle with a clothesline leading to PAC doing a flip bump. PAC kicked Murphy in the face to knock him down. PAC went up top for the Red Arrow, but Murphy got the knees up! Murphy applied the Koji Klutch submission, but PAC got the ropes to break the hold.

PAC got a rollup on Murphy but when Murphy kicked out, PACs head hit the ref so the ref was bumped. That led to Murphy checking on the ref. PAC used that to hit a superkick. PAC hit a reverse hurricanrana that dropped Murphy right on his head, but he kicked out.  Its obvious that PAC was frustrated. Murphy hit a German Suplex and then a second one. Instead of a third one, he hit one arm Dragon Suplex that PAC took by flipping onto his stomach. PAC was outside the ring, so Murphy did his diving DDT move where he jumped between the bottom/middle ropes to hit a DDT on the floor. Murphy hit a Super Kick, but the ref got a piece of it too.

With the ref down, Murphy grabbed the ring bell. PAC kicked Murphy in the face to knock the bell out of his hands. PAC held the bell and thought about using it. But while he pondered we see someone coming to ringside. Its.........




Sonny Onoo!

Onoo approaches Zelina and they begin. Ickdting about something. While that is going on PAC capitalized with a rollup on Murphy, so the ref counted for two. Murphy hit an overhead suplex that sent PAC into the turnbuckle hard. Murphy hit Murphys Law and he covered for the win!  Murphy walks to the ropes looking out at Onoo and Zelina still arguing. Then Onoo backs away from Zelina and points behind Murphy and the cameras see The Great Muta! 




Murphy turns around towards Muta, and Muta blows the mysterious Mist into Murphys face! Murphy falls to the mat. Muta climbs up.....springboard backflip onto Murphy! Onoo watches on very happy as Muta rolls our and they walk up the isle as Zelina watches on dumbfounded.



  Jim Ross: " Jesse we have been hearing rumors for many weeks that Muta might debut here tonight. Not only did he debut, he made quite a statement there. That might be his way of telling Zelina and Buddy Murphy that he infact, is Wrestlings Best Kept Secret!"      


  Jesse Ventura: "I wouldn't call Muta a secret at all. He's a very established competitor. Maybe one of the best in the world. And now with Sonny Onoo at his side, he could be unstoppable."          



Match Two: Becky Lynch and The Riott Squad vs The IInspiration (Britt Baker, Peyton Royce & Billie Kay)            




The ref has trouble controlling the two teams, but it eventually comes down to Ruby Riott and Billie Kay. Ruby manages to back drop her and clothesline Kay out of the ring, so the teams nearly come to blows again. Ruby and Liv do some double teaming and trade off arm wringers until Kay tags Royce. Liv fights off both members of the IInspiration team and tags in Becky Lynch, who starts hitting everyone on the other team. Britt Baker tags in and gives Lynch a rude gesture, so Becky slaps her. She then knocks down both Peyon and Billie Kay. Ruby tags in, but she finds herself in trouble until she can tag Lynch again. Lynch reverses a whip and nails a corner clothesline that the cameraman captures perfectly. The Riott Squad then take over the match and maintain control on Royce and Kay until Britt Baker counters a bulldog into the corner. Baker tosses Liv outside and the IInspiration double team her on the floor. Lynch tries to run them off with a chair, but Royce hip tosses Liv onto the concrete with a nasty splat! She throws Liv into the ring, but Liv gets a surprise sunset flip for a 2 count. However, she cannot overcome the double teaming. Kay grabs a nerve hold. Liv desperately tries to fight back, but the double and triple teaming is still too much. She finally gets her knees up into Bakers gut on a springboard splash and makes a hot tag to Lynch. Becky slams everyone and throws Baker onto the IInspiration. Lynch then hits a powerslam, 1.....2.....but Royce breaks up the pin. Ruby tags in and attempts a DDT,. All six women end up in a brawl but Lynch sends Baker crashing into Royce, knocking Foyce and Kay out of the ring.... Baker turns around right into an EXPLODER SUPLEX FROM LYNCH! 1.....2.....3!!! BECKY LYNCH HAS JUST PINNED THE IWA WOMENS WORLD CHAMPION AS LYNCH AND THE RIOTT SQUAD ARE VICTORIOUS!




Lynch grabs Bakers women's world title and taunts her with it as a enraged Baker watches on. 


  Jim Ross: "Becky Lynch has just done something that no one has been able to do since the inception of the IWA..... and that's pin Britt Bakers shoulders to the mat! Jesse, in my eyes, that has to shoot Becky Lynch atop of the rankings for Bakers world title!"      


  Jesse Ventura: "Ohhhh Jim Ross, don't get so excited..... first of all that pinfall was a fluke! And secondly, this was a tag team match..... that meant nothing! Had the ref not been so blind, he never would have counted that pinfall due to all the women being in the ring at the same time. If you ask me, Britt Baker got robbed there."           

  Jim Ross: "Well I don't know about that at all. But what I do know is we are about to have a wrestling clinic between two guys debuting here in WCW, but certainly no strangers to pro wrestling!"       



Match Three: Barry Windham vs Davey Boy Smith            

The two men shake hands before the bell and they start off with a little criss-cross action and Windham ends up getting hip tossed. Davey Boy then presses Windham over his head and lifts him a few times, showing off his power, but Barry drops behind him before he can get slammed. They then go into a mat-wrestling sequence, but it ends in a stalemate. The two men end up scuffling to the outside, but Barry suggests they re-enter the ring.They trade suplexes, but Barry has trouble getting Davey Boy over with a gut-wrench. Davey Boy then gets a side headlock, but Barry turns it into a side suplex. However, Davey Boy manages to keep the headlock. Barry fights out and the two go back and forth for a bit. Davey Boy attempts a leapfrog, but Barry is so tall that Davey Boy lands groin first against Windham’s head. Davey is down on the mat in pain and Barry surprisingly gives him time to recover. He even stops the ref from counting him out. The ref checks Davey who is in obvious pain. Davey gets to his knees and Windham rushes in and rolls Davey into a small package to get the win. The crowd doesn't like the way Barry wins as Gene Okerlund joins Windham at ringside.......



   Gene Okerlund: "OHHHHH MY!! Barry Windham, welcome to WCW. But after the way you just won that match, as you can hear, the fans may not be so pleased at how you got the victory!"           




  Barry Windham: "Ya know Gene, that's one of the great things about pro wrestling.... the fans can cheer or boo anyone they want. They spend their hard earned money to do so. But speaking of money, that's what I'm about. I seen an opening in that match and took it..... and now I'm on my way to the pay window. Davey is a great wrestler. And I just got the win over him. Not many people can say that. But I'm using that win to work my way up the rankings..... and whoever wins tonight between Lex Luger and Owen Hart..... just let it be known, that Barry Windham is coming for that WCW TV Title!"        


Barry walks away from ringside and towards the locker room just as the same time that Lex Luger is making his way to the ring. Luger and Barry share a few moments and they shake hands as Luger heads towards the ring.







  Match Four: Lex Luger vs Owen Hart for the WCW TV Title             

On a recent edition of WCW Nitro,, Luger took Owen to the 20 minute time limit, so Eric Bischoff has made this match a 30 minute limit. Owen hit a clothesline to knock Luger  over the top to the floor. Hart sent Luger chest first against the barricade. Back in the ring, Owen hit a backbreaker.

Luger raises up off of Owen and looks out at the woman and asks her why she's here. We can hear the woman say "TIK - TOC!!" Luger again asks what she wants then from out if nowhere, Killer Kross enters the ring!



Kross hits a running elbow smash to the back of Lugers head. Then just stomps the hell out if Luger on the mat. The ref tries to stop it and Kross turns to him, and the ref is smart enough to bail out of the ring. Owen follows suit by grabbing his WCW TV Title and leaves the ringside area. Kross picks Luger up..... DOOMSDAY SAITO SUOLEX TO LUGER!! HE GRABS LUGER AGAIN...... ANOTHER DOOMSDAY SAITO!! THEN KROSS LOCKS IN THE KROSS JACKET!!

After several seconds Luger is out but Kross doesn't release the hold! Kross keeps it locked in!!!


  Jim Ross: "SOMEBODY GET SOME HELP OUT HERE! LUGER IS OUT IN AND IN BAD TROUBLE HERE! I SAID GET SOME HELP OUT HERE.....NOW DAMMITT.....NOW!"    


Kross keeps the hold locked on Luger as several security members rush the ring. Kross jumps up and stares them all down, then looks down at Luger until Scarlett gets in the ring and whispers something into the ear of Kross, before they take their leave!





EMT's rush to the the aid of Luger who is still unconscious and we can see a trickle of blood coming out of Lugers mouth. 


  Jim Ross: "Fans, bare with us at this time. We are at a loss of words and obviously our thoughts are with Lex Luger! We can tell you now that the EMT's have Luger attached to a gurney and will be taking him to the back where an ambulance will escort Luger to the nearest Hospital facility. This doesn't look good for Lex. Fans we hope to have more information on Luger as the show goes on but right now The Total Package needs all the prayers he can get."      



The cameras pan backstage where we see Big Van Vader warming up for his WCW Heavyweight title match later tonight.





Then the cameras pan back inside the arena and we see the WCW Womens champion, Lacey Evans making her way to the ring......





  Lacey Evans: "LOOOORRRD..... Do ya'll  smell that? I can't tell if it's you people or the smell of an ended career in Lex Luger! HAHAHAHA! Anyways.....

ADAM COLE!!!!



The live audience pops huge as Cole stands in midring, soaking it all up before taking the housemic.....


  Adam Cole: "It's story time with Adam Cole..... BAY BAY!!!  Six months..... six long months I've been waiting to tell this story. You see this belt right here.... the Glory Heavyweight title! I won this title in August of 2020. But where's the Glory? I tell you where..... they closed up shop this past May. No press conference! No social media posts..... they just closed up shop and the talent pool was put into a draft! So you would think that the top guy holding such a prestigious title, would be drafted first round right? Not even close! Guys like Rick Rude.... AJ Styles..... and Eddie Guerrero all found new homes while the Glory Heavyweight Champion sat at home. That doesn't sit very well with me! So as I'm sitting at home flipping through the channels I see the man who is currently laying on his ass at ringside..... Stone Cold Steve Austin ..... on my TV. And he's telling people how he will face anyone..... anytime...... for his WCW title. And I found that real interesting. That a guy like Austin..... a drunkard fool ..... calls himself one of the best. The name on the marquee says professional wrestling people. And I can promise you all that there's not a chance in hell that Steve Austin could ever beat me in a wrestling match! Which brings me to the first chapter of story time. They say that you don't make a statement unless you make some noise. While Glory.... the company...... may be long gone. The Glory champion ...... Adam Freakin Cole...... stands tall..... and ready to defend its name. Much like your WCW champion..... I will defend this Glory title..... any time...... any place...... against anyone! And who knows.....if your so called WCW Champion can ever pull himself up from this carnage..... maybe..... just maybe one day him and I will find out who the best...... really is!"   



The show goes off the air with Vader and Austin still laying in the carnage of the debris from the table and Adam Cole standing in the middle of the ring!
