Tag team title match is next. Pretty Wonderful challenging Stars & Strips. Holy crap. You know when your tag title match is fucked? When Paul Roma is half of the better team.

Bagwell had no identity until he became Buff, did he? He just assumed the persona of who ever he was partnered with. First he was white 2 Cold, then mask less Patriot, then short haired Scotty Riggs.

Pretty Wonderful win the belts after Roma hits Bagwell with a top rope elbow while Bagwell has Orndorf in the fisherman suplex. It's a pretty decent tag team match and the crowd was fairly pro Pretty Wonderful.

Kevin Sullivan Vs Evad Sillivan is next. Two things:
A) has any wrestler ever been screwed worse by a passing resemblance that The Equalizer?
B) Kevin Sullivan is announced as "now seeking sanctuary in the Conch Republic"... Which may be the best home town since Sid hailed from "Anywhere he darn well choses".

Evad wins by count out.
I'm done. I can't watch any more 1994 tonight. It's so bad. I makes 2000 look good by comparison.

Evad Sullivan alone is reason enough to skip the PPV.
Yeah, Honky was just taking the cash, they were supposed to give him the tv title later but he just jumped back to the WWF for Rockabilly, so yeah.

Okay, back to 1994 for a little bit.
The next match is Dustin Rhodes vs Arn Anderson. This is a good match that, because of the crap that preceded it, feels like a great match.
Nothing fancy here, just two talented hands telling a simple story.
The whole Rhodes vs Col. Parker feud feels like it's in a completely different company from the rest of what's going on in 1994.

Hogan promo next. I only mention it for two reasons:
A) I swear to god, they tease the possibility of a Mr. T heel turn. How glorious would that train wreck have been?!?!
B) I guess that WCW had felt the wraith of Jerry McDervit, because Ed Leslie isn't called "Big Brother Bruti" here. No, they call him "The Big Brother".

The next match will be Stunning Steve Austin challenging Hacksaw Jim Duggan for the US title. Tony calls him "Stunning Steven", which is a great heel name.

Duggan wins by DQ. Hacksaw's move set makes Lex in 1999 seem like Dolph Ziggler.

Sting comes out in a tux and gives a one sentence promo to Mean Gene. I believe this is the only Halloween Havoc not to have Sting in action.
Hey! When Jarrett brought out the history of Sting at Havoc 2000, he totally should have included tuxedo Sting!

Up next is Vader Vs Ray Traylor in his Guardian Angel persona. I love the big men, and these are two of the best (though Guardian Angel was a crapy gimmick).

Guardian Angel was.....we want him as Big Boss Man, but Boss got us in trouble, so let's try something else. But then they had trouble with that and after that, he just floated from BBR, to his actual name without ever really getting above the midcard again IIRC.

Vader wins. This is a sweet hoss match. There's a great spot where Bossman body slams Vader on to a prone Harley Race. This one and Anderson/Rhodes almost make this worth watching.
