10 Best Halloween Havoc Matches
No tricks, only treats.
7. Lex Luger Vs. Flyin' Brian (1989)
There has long been a belief among some sections of the wrestling world that Lex Luger wasn't a very good worker.
While the Total Package could certainly dog it if he wanted to, the man also had many good-to-great matches and was much better than most people remember.
Take his US Title defense against Flyin' Brian Pillman at Halloween Havoc '89, for example.
Luger had a great year that year, having some excellent matches with the likes of Ricky Steamboat and Sting. Brian Pillman was also starting to make some noise and was wowing audiences with his cutting-edge style.
The two were a great combination and the match told the classic story of power and size versus speed and heart. They worked together to craft an engaging and competitive match that had the (very hot) crowd guessing right up until the finish.
In the end, Luger was too much for Pillman on the night, but Flyin' Brian's performance certainly helped raise his stock.
