There's a lot going on here. 

Halloween Havoc 1995 was Hulk Hogan's WCW at its silliest, as his mates populated the undercard while he was battling a big, green rookie in first a Monster Truck Sumo Match and then in the main event. 

The aforementioned Monster Truck Sumo Match (the novelty of typing that never wears out) ended with the Hulkster accidentally pushing The Giant off the top of Philadelphia's Cobo Hall, presumably to his death. 

Incredibly, the future Big Show emerged for the World Heavyweight Title showdown not long after sporting not even as much as a scratch, to battle a clean-shaven Hogan in maroon cowboy boots and some odd, Taskmaster-esque black paint on his forehead.

It was not one of his better looks.  

The match was rudimentary, as it needed to be given Paul Wight's experience level, and while it's not a total abomination, it's not something that should be going on last on an event that people actually had to pay real money for. 

Worse was the finish and post-match scene, which included Jimmy Hart turning on Hulk and The Giant winning by DQ, with it being revealed the next night on Nitro that the double-cross had been in the works as The Mouth from the South had written a clause into the match contract saying that the belt could change hands on a disqualification. 

Then Kevin Sullivan gets involved, as does Savage and Lex Luger, and things get more complicated still as The Total Package turns on the Macho Man and then The Yeti makes his grand debut and shags Hogan into submission and, by the end of it all, you never want to watch WCW, or wrestling, or even the television, ever again.
