Halloween Havoc

Halloween Havoc was an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view produced by World Championship Wrestling from 1989 through 2000. The final five events were held in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. World Wrestling Entertainment has owned the rights to Halloween Havoc since they purchased WCW in 2001, however to date, they have not yet produced their own version of the event. Recently, however, Halloween Havoc was in a WWE poll on Twitter, as one of three pay-per-views fans wanted to be brought back. The other two were King of the Ring and War Games.
