10 Best Halloween Havoc Matches
No tricks, only treats.
6. The Steiner Brothers Vs. The Nasty Boys (1990)
The Steiner Brothers are big, hard-nosed bruisers who like to beat people up. So too are the Nasty Boys.
Putting them together in a US Tag Team Title match and letting them batter each other wasn't exactly a genius idea, but I'm very glad someone rubber-stamped it, because the end result was spectacular.
This was the case of four guys throwing it all out there, hurling bombs at each other for fifteen super stiff minutes. I believe the term 'slobberknocker' is an accurate descriptor.
The pace started off frantic and really never let up, but the closing stretch was something else and the crowd were molten for it.
Rick and Scott managed to emerge victorious, but Sags and Knobs put themselves on the map with their showing here.
A post-match angle hinted at a rematch, which would have been great. But, WCW being WCW, hadn't actually signed the Nasties to a deal. That allowed Vince McMahon to swoop in and offer them a contract not too long after, and so they headed to WWE instead.
