Halloween Havoc (1991)

In the opening match, Sting's team won after Cactus Jack accidentally pulled the switch while Abdullah the Butcher was in the electric chair. Originally, the match was supposed to feature El Gigante, Sting, and the Steiner Brothers against Oz, the Diamond Studd, the One Man Gang, and Barry Windham. Cactus replaced Oz, Big Van Vader replaced Windham, and Abdullah replaced Gang. During the pre-show, Barry Windham was attacked by Arn Anderson and Larry Zbyszko and suffered a broken hand when they slammed his hand in a car door. One Man Gang was scheduled to take part in this match, but left WCW before the show. With Cactus Jack in the opening match, Oz replaced him against Bill Kazmaier. Doug Somers replaced Michael Hayes, who was originally scheduled for the match. The Phantom later revealed himself to be Rick Rude.

United States Tag Team Champions The Patriots challenged the Enforcers for the WCW World Tag Team Championship. The U.S. Tag Team Championships were not on the line.

The original plan for the main event was Lex Luger defending the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Mr. Hughes, but the plan was changed when WCW fired Ric Flair on July 1, 1991, with Luger eventually assuming the role of WCW's top villain and Hughes becoming his bodyguard instead of challenger.
