| 6 | 10.03.2025 | Nevermore42 | | I cannot in good conscious give this show a rating, since four of the matches are lost to the sands of time. Just looking at the card, I don't think they would have improved the viewing experience, but we'll never know. The show opens with a pretty good match between Ricky Morton and Tommy Rich and the departing Midnight Express. This is followed by the majority of cut content, as Terry Taylor vs. Bill Irwin, Brad Armstrong vs. JW Storm, and the Master Blasters vs. the Southern Boys are all gone. The show comes back to the Fabulous Freebirds vs. the Renegade Warriors in a match that should have been cut. The Freebirds were fat and lazy at this point in their careers, and The Warriors had no clue how to work around that. The Steiner Brothers then defended their United States Tag Team Titles against the Nasty Boys in the match of the night, not that that speaks well for the quality of this show. Next is the final cut match, as we thankfully get to avoid watching the Junkyard Dog vs. Moondog Rex. Doom defend their World Tag Team Titles against the Four Hoursemen in a good match, Stan Hanson defeats Lex Luger in a decent match for his United States Heavyweight Title, and Sting defends his World Heavyweight Title against Sid Vicious in a boring match to close out the show. |
| 7 | 15.11.2024 | hunterp | 2.0 | An awful, AWFUL show. Even the good stuff was like 6/10 at best. During Taylor vs Irwin, I screamed "please don't kick out! " multiple times, but it just kept going and going, seemingly forever. The longest 12 minute match in wrestling history. JYD vs Moondog Rex was even worse, but at least it was short. The only highlight of the show was the first couple of minutes of Steiners vs Nasty Boys and even that settled into a fairly average match. A dreadful way to spend 2 hours and 50 minutes of your life. |
| 8 | 07.11.2024 | benh2 | 4.0 | Some decent stuff on the undercard but one cannot ignore the booking debacle in the main event which has actively killed the top babyface and pretty much the entire company. From Robocop to Black Scorpion, the last six months are absolutely tragic. |

| 10 | 11.10.2024 | Larry | 6.0 | This is a hard show to rate since half of the card isn't on Peacock for some reason or another. So I'll obviously just rate what I watched. The best match that I had seen was the nasty boys Vs the Steiners. The second best would be Doom Vs Anderson and Flair. Stan Hanson vs Luger was really good as well. I recommend this show for those three matches. |
| 11 | 08.09.2024 | Rated-Spear | | Ein relativ ereignisloser Halloween Havoc meiner Meinung nach - und das bei retroaktiv lediglich zwei Stunden verfügbarer Fassung lt. WWE Network, wodurch ein 4er Rating offiziell flach fällt. Network-Fassung ließ den Havoc an Halloween nach einer reinen Großveranstaltung der Tag Teams ausschauen, ungeachtet der zwei Hauptkämpfe natürlich, einzig Master Blasters vs. Southern Boys hat's aus mir unerfindlichen Gründen nicht hineingeschafft, das Triplet an Einzelkämpfen ohne Titelimplikationen existiert ohne jeglichen Indikator im Rahmen der Show in einem Vakuum seiner Zeit - und dem Internet Archive. Vom restaurierten Filmmaterial gefielen Opener, der United States Tag Team Titelkampf und der Double Count Out im World Tag Team Titelkampf am besten, *** im Fall vom Opening Tag Match bzw. **3/4 bei ansteigender Tendenz je. Ricky Morton & Tommy Rich funktional, das Match darüber hinaus üblich charmant im Stil Midnights vs. Rock 'n' Roll, der United States Tag Team Titelkampf mit ungewohnt verteilten Rollen, Brawling beider half aber ungemein, Doom und Four Horsemen hingegen zeigten sich technisch raffinierter, Anderson & Flair zeigten sich throughout zufrieden mit dem Match und ich mich ebenso. Nicht ganz heranreichten, aber insgesamt in Ordnung, Fabulous Freebirds vs. Renegade Warriors und der Doppelpack an Titelkämpfen im Einzel, **1/2 bzw. **1/4 um den Dreh im Fall der Hauptkämpfe. Kein vorsätzlicher Banger darunter; Finish mit dem Fake Stinger im Main Event kracht ordentlich, obwohl das Match bis dahin anschaulich und Sid Vicious ein geeigneter Big Man zum sich dran abarbeiten gewesen ist. |
| 12 | 31.08.2024 | crs285 | 7.0 | Unfortunately Peacock doesnt have several of the matches so could only watch what they had. Doom vs the Four Horsemen was the match of the night for me as they seemed to have good chemistry. Steiners vs Nasty Boys was the best Nasty Boys match I have seen so far. Most of the other matches were solid with the Freebirds and the Renegade Warriors having the least impressive matchup. |
| 13 | 24.08.2024 | JacquesRougeauCanHaveMyWife | 4.0 | First of all I don't know if either the crowd sucked so much or there were some audio issues, but the barely audible reactions really damaged some of the matches. Also a lot of contests were cut for whatever reason, which is a shame, because I was looking forward to seeing Brad Armstrong back, especially since the available matches were so so. The worst match for me was The Steiners vs The Nasties as it had a baffling structure. They started out with big moves and then weren't able to top them, while randomly throwing chair spots in the middle of this. Also The Freebirds vs The Renegades was a slog, Hansen vs Luger wasn't anything special and it was a really anticlimactic way to get the title off Luger and the main event wasn't bad workwise, but the stupid finish ruined it a little bit. When it comes to the good stuff though the opener was very decent with Midnight and Morton carrying it, while The Horsemen vs Doom was the match of the night for me with Arn and Flair looking fantastically as a heel team and making Simmons with Reed look really good. But overall the PPV was pretty mid - there wasn't much happening, the crowd reactions were barely there and the match quality was a big mix bag. |

| 15 | 31.03.2024 | KingsCrossing | 5.0 | As other commenters have noted, the WWE Network version of this show is the same as the original VHS, so it's missing four matches, but as it is the only version that is easily accessible it is what I will be reviewing. You can really feel the Jim Herd influence having a significantly negative impact on WCW by this point, as the booking of Sting's title reign is just awful. The Black Scorpion segment is laughably bad, to the point where I am struggling to think of something more absurd that a promotion has tried to sell as completely serious (and think of the material that covers). The main event finish was ridiculous as well. If you can look beyond the booking issues, there are some good matches here, with the Steiners vs. The Nasty Boys being the easy choice for MOTN, but on the opposite end of the spectrum we have tedious garbage like the Freebirds vs. the Renegade Warriors, which makes even the abridged version of this show feel longer than it actually is. Outside of the wrestling, the show is also hurt by the really subdued crowd, as there are several matches that I think would have played a lot better in front of a more invested audience. I will say, I love the aesthetic of the show, and the Halloween theme comes across really well and gives the entire event a charm that helps make it more enjoyable than it otherwise might be. Skip the Freebirds match, but the rest is at least interesting from a historical perspective, even if it isn't always top notch wrestling. |

| 18 | 08.11.2023 | Garmonbozia | 4.0 | The opener was pretty solid and then the next four matches were kind of bad. The Steiners had a very solid match with the Nasty Boys, as did Doom with the Horsemen. The last two matches were just okay. So overall this event just wasn't anything special. |
| 19 | 22.10.2023 | AidanArcher | 7.0 | |
| 20 | 02.09.2023 | Rjepic1 | 7.0 | I actually thought this was a pretty decent show. There was certainly some matches on this card I didn't really care for, but nothing truly awful in my opinion. The WWE Network (and original VHS) version only shows six of the 10 matches that originally aired; so I will only be reviewing those ones as I haven't seen the others. The Steiner's were my MVP's of this show, as they made me legitimately enjoy a Nasty Boys match. I said this one the last Clash I reviewed but I hated the Black Scorpion saga; like most. |
| 21 | 14.08.2023 | CMFunk007 | 8.0 | For some reason, Peacock only has the two-hour version up on the network, cutting out the JYD match, as well as the Terry Taylor and other filler matches on the card. I loved this event. There were better ones, but The Steiners/Nasty Boys and the Midnight Express matches were great and the Horsemen/Doom match was good, too. The main event was silly with the Windham thing, but as a kid, I thought it was awesome. |
| 22 | 12.05.2023 | Trevor Struthers | 5.0 | |
| 23 | 26.03.2023 | DanTalksRasslin | 5.0 | A pretty middling event overall, with a few fairly notable highlights and a lot of filler. Doom vs. Arn & Flair was quite a good Tag Title match, Hansen vs. Luger was a pretty solid brawl that didn't last longer than it needed to, and the Steiners got a good bout out of the Nasties for the US Tag Title. Midnight Express vs. Morton & Rich (the latter subbing for Gibson) was also pretty solid. On the other hand, Sid wasn't really ready for prime time as a main eventer yet and Sting wasn't yet at a point where he could carry him, making for a somewhat lackluster main event, the Freebirds vs. Renegade Warriors match dragged for at least ten minutes longer than it should've, and the rest really was pure card filler that could've been trimmed off the PPV card (and indeed, much of it was cut from the video and WWE Network versions). |

| 29 | 25.06.2021 | Tomas Cunha | 6.0 | Overall thumbs in the middle, slightly leaning up for Halloween Havoc 90. There are obviously some really fun matches, particularly ME vs. Morton & Rich, Doom vs. Horsemen and Steiners vs. Nasties, but then there? s also the REALLY boring Freebirds/Youngbloods match and this mess of a main-event. Watch it for the good stuff, and maybe the main-event as well just to laugh at how this company treats the World title scene. And they wonder why Sting's first title reign was not a success... Anyway, still a good show with some really bad stuff in the middle. |

| 32 | 26.10.2020 | Wrestling Forever | 7.0 | Bewertung zur WWE Network Version. In dieser Version fehlen die Matches 2-4 und Junkyard Dog vs Moondog Rex. Zu den Matches was im Guide sind jeweils dort mehr. Halloween Havoc 1990, 7 gute Punkte. |
| 33 | 20.04.2020 | NoahsPenis | 8.0 | I watched the network version which had a lot of the filler which really trimmed down the show and made a quick and enjoyable watch besides that horrible Freebirds match who are consistently the worst part of WCW shows around this time. The other matches were pretty good and while the main event was a little plodding the finish was amazing and shocked the hell out of me. Also the commentary by JR and Dangerouly was top notch |
| 34 | 21.03.2020 | Mizzle Assault Ant | 5.0 | Not the best event. Loved Horsemen vs. Doom, and really liked Steiners/Nasty Boys, Hansen/Luger, and Midnight Express/Morton & Rich. However, hated the Junkyard Dog match, the Freebirds match, and especially the putrid main event, who the hell thought it was a good idea to put Sting and Sid together? |
| 35 | 22.09.2018 | RatingsMachine | 6.0 | This was yet another NWA/WCW PPV that was overloaded with matches that had absolutely no business being on PPV. And on earth decided that the Freebirds and Renegade Warriors should go 17:28? |
| 36 | 03.05.2018 | leblake | 3.0 | I'm surprised to see this event rated as high as it is. There were two good tag matches and a third decent tag match, but everything else, including the two final title matches, were nothing special. |

| 41 | 20.08.2016 | InactiveGuru | 5.0 | It really wasn't all bad but there was nothing that stood out on this PPV and just really isn't worth checking out. |
| 42 | 16.05.2016 | jackleone | 6.0 | The best match of the event is, with surprise, Steiner Brothers vs Nasty Boys. The main event between Sting vs Sid Vicious shows Sid wasn't ready for this and fought badly for most of the time, the overbooking in this case helps with his flaws. Luger vs Stan Hansen isn't a good match, when Doom play as fan favorite against Flair and Anderson. It's a pleasing event to precede Starrcade, there are flaws here and there but it's okay. |
| 43 | 16.05.2016 | test85 | 6.0 | 1. Rich/Morton gegen den Express war okay. (3 1/4*) 2. Freebirds gegen die Renegade Warriors war auf ähnlichen Niveau. (3*) 3. Steiner Bros. gegen die Nastys war eine Schlacht. Sicherlich eines der besseren Nasty Boys Matches. Nur kann ich nicht nachvollziehen, warum Knobbs den 3 Count von Sags unterbricht. (3*) 4. Das World Tag Team Title Match war dann das MotN. Leider mit einem unklaren Finish. (3 1/2*) 5. Hansen gegen Luger war in Ordnung. Überraschenderweise durfte Hansen hier sogar gewinnen. (3*) 6. ME war dann enttäuschend. Vor allem das Finish. Nachdem Sid schon feiert, greift Sting ihn einfach an & pinnt ihn, ohne das die Glocke erneut geläutet wird. Hat mich schon gestört. (1 1/2*) Durchschnittliche Show mit einem total verbookten ME. Zudem auch noch der Mist mit dem Scorpion. Wrestling Crap vom Feinsten. |
| 44 | 09.03.2016 | Zach | 4.0 | Perhaps I don't think highly of Halloween Havoc 1990 because I find a lot of the featured talent consistently un-entertaining. Tommy Rich, Terry Taylor, Bill Irwin, The Southern Boys, The Nasty Boys -- it's a who's who of mediocrity. And it even gets worse with guys like The Master Blasters (so bad) and Moondog Rex. I love the Halloween theme, but you should probably avoid this Havoc. |
| 45 | 30.10.2015 | colonel | 6.0 | Durchschnittlicher Event mit gutem (Steiners vs Nasty Boys) bis solidem (Opener, Freebirds vs Youngbloods, Doom vs Horsemen) Tag Team Wrestling. Die Filler Matches blieben mir auf meiner Version zum Glück erspart. Das US Titelmatch ist noch ganz ordentlich wenn auch schwächer als die Tag Team Matches. Der Main Event ist ist dann aber ein ziemlicher Stinker. Matches mit Sid können eh keine Brüller werden. Wenn man dann aber auch noch so einen Bockmist bookt wird es finster. Die Sting Promo mit dem Black Scorpion relativ am Anfang des Events ist übrigens auch Fremdschämen pur. |
| 46 | 12.08.2015 | Shentenza | 6.0 | |
| 47 | 25.11.2013 | Aquifel | 6.0 | Hab nur das Commercial-Release sehen können und das kommt dem Event dann doch zu Gute. Die Tag Matches waren alle solide bis gut, wobei vor allem der Opener und das Steiner/Nasty Boys Match noch etwas nach oben herausstachen (gerade letzteres ist schön wild). Da die ganzen Filler fehlen, wäre es so auch eine sehr ordentliche Veranstaltung gewesen, doch weder Luger/Hansen (recht kurz und sowieso keine attraktive Paarung, da es stilistisch nicht so zusammen passt und beide dadurch schlechter wirken, als sie waren) noch der Main Event (konnte mit Sid eh noch nie viel anfangen und das Fake Finish mit dem falschen Sting... naja) konnten wirklich das Niveau halten. Somit gibt es 6 Punkte, da die beiden letzten Matches doch etwas abfielen zum guten Rest, |
| 48 | 01.02.2011 | Boogerman84 | 9.0 | Klasse Opener, nur Tommy Rich ist hier komplett überflüssig, der leider – oder auch zum Glück – nur für das Hot Tag in den Ring kommen darf (10/10). Da kann das Match der Freebirds nur schwerlich mithalten, auch wenn diese eigentlich immer unterhaltsam sind, aber ihre farblosen und keine Reaktionen erntenden Gegner sorgen hier für die Mittelmäßigkeit (6/10). Ganz anders die Steiners und die Nastys, die eine wahre Ringschlacht abliefern (11/10). Doom vs. Flair/Anderson ist auch sehr gut, alle Worker werden ihren Fähigkeiten entsprechend ausgezeichnet eingesetzt (9/10). Luger und Hansen zeigen einen unterhaltsamen Brawl (7/10) und auch der Main Event ist schön anzuschauen (8/10). Gesamt: 8, 5. |
| 49 | 20.07.2010 | Eddie | 6.0 | Vorweg muss ich sagen, dass es alle Tag Matches gegen Opener und das Steiner Match einfach verdammt schwer hatten, und deswegen auch nichts besonderes mehr geboten haben. Die ersten Singles Matches (bis auf beide Main Events) waren auch irgendwie da, aber total belanglos. Morton/Rich vs. Midnight Express: 7/10, mehr im Guide. Freebirds vs. Renegade Warriors: 5/10, Match besteht eher aus Crowd-Work als aus gutem Wrestling. Matchführung ist auch etwas langsamer und deshalb gibt’s weniger Punkte. Steiner Brothers vs. Nasty Boys : 8/10, mehr im Guide. Doom vs. Anderson/Flair: 7/10, zu Beginn viel Schläge und ein paar Suplessen um zu zeigen, wer das stärkere Team ist, um in der Folgezeit guten Aufbau mit der Isolation von Simmons zu zeigen, richtig klassisch. Hansen vs. Luger: 5/10, Match ging in Ordnung, typisches Hansen-like Brawling gegen Luger, der dafür der falsche Gegner ist. Sting vs. Sid: 6/10, Match geht auch hier in Ordnung, Finish ist das Beste am Match (wenn auch sehr verrückt gebookt) und insgesamt doch ein befriedigend. Insgesamt also 6/10, da der Großteil der Matches durchaus zu unterhalten wusste. |
| 50 | 18.04.2008 | Bhandu | 6.0 | Dreieinhalb starke Tag Team Matches (Opener, US Tag Titles Match, World Tag Titles Match, bedingt Freebirds vs Youngbloods) hieven den Event auf solides Niveau. Der Main Event und das US Title Match sind da schon etwas schwächer. Der Rest hat es zu Recht nicht auf die Commercial Release geschafft. |
| 51 | 24.02.2008 | LexLuger4ever | 6.0 | Viel zu viele Tag Team Matches! Die 3 letzten Matches auf der Card waren gut! Ein alles in allem durchschnittlicher PPV! |
