Halloween Havoc was an iconic World Championship Wrestling pay-per-view which ran from 1989 through 2000. Despite taking ownership of the name when purchasing WCW, Vince McMahon hadn’t previously utilized it because he hates to put over anything made successful by his former rivals. Seemingly though, the Wednesday Night Wars have mellowed his stance on that, as WWE is finally bringing back the event as a special edition of NXT on October 28th.
During the latest episode of his 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff podcast, the former President of WCW would share his opinion on WWE belatedly putting the name to use.
In July, WWE revived The Great American Bash, also a former WCW pay-per-view, as two special editions of NXT. These shows were a big success and resulted in two rare victories for NXT in the Wednesday Night Wars. This success likely prompted WWE to finally utilize the asset they’ve owned for almost 20 years.
