About this listen

 Join us monthly as we look through the good old days - and not-so-good old days - of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), series by series, to figure out what makes each of WCW's shows tick. Just what defines Starrcade, and what defines Halloween Havoc? WCW may have gone out of business years ago, but it will never lose its place in wrestling history, and its position as the one true competitor to the WWF may never be replicated. Together, let's take a look through it and enjoy the highs, lows, and strange decisions along the way.

    Episode 77: Halloween Havoc 1995
    Feb 2 2026

    Rev up those engines! No, we haven't decided to cover motor racing instead...but WCW decided to branch out into monster truck competition of all things at Halloween Havoc 1995! (I guess they got spooked by not having a big spinning wheel last show, so decided to have 8 of them.) What results is one of WCW's most infamous shows, which takes place at the heights of the Dungeon of Doom angle and dives hard into a strange mix of lunacy and melodrama. Monster trucks! Explosions! A rooftop plunge! Longtime foes teaming up! Relationship tension! Betrayals by the armful! Mystic rites! Eldritch signs! Plus: The Yet-ay! For all this and more...let's go to the ring!

    Episode 76: Halloween Havoc 1994
    Oct 31 2025

    Happy Halloween! It's the first Halloween Havoc of the Hogan Era of WCW - Halloween Havoc 1994! Thankfully, no big spinning wheel this time - even for WCW, three years in a row would've been a bit much. Instead, we've got Hogan vs. Flair for the WCW title - plus, the loser must retire (for real, definitely not something that'll be overturned before the next summer. Plus: Johnny B. Badd wins the Halloween Havoc costume contest by default, the Nasty Boys debut the Pumpkin Driver, Dustin Rhodes goes for a distance record in self shotput, Brother Bruti demonstrates the art of pretend camouflage, and the hit wrestling themesong of the 90s makes its incredible crowd-pleasing debut. For all this and more...let's go to the ring!

    Episode 75: Halloween Havoc 1993
    Aug 5 2025

    We're back with more spooky goodness! WCW got a deal on a wheel so it's time to spin for real! No, I didn't accidentally reupload our previous episode - WCW really decided that spinning a big wheel should be the focus of not one, but two Halloween shows! This time, Vader and Cactus Jack face the wheel of fate. Plus - Tony outdoes the Phantom of the Schiavone outfit, WCW has another go at a Sid Vicious vs. Sting match - surely they can't screw up the ending again - Dustin Rhodes and Steve Austin unsurprisingly have a great match, and astonishingly, no unsuspecting faces get booed against a Freebird for once! For all this, plus possibly WCW's greatest ever show opening...let's go to the ring!
