As the name implies, it was a Halloween -themed show held in October. The event was the seventh event in the Halloween Havoc chronology and it took place on October 29, , from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan for the second consecutive year.
The event featured professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Professional wrestlers portray villains , heroes , or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
Duggan's interference came after Big Bubba Rogers hit Pittman with his own taped fist to knock him out. Badd appeared at the entranceway played by Joey Maggs to distract Page and allow the real Badd to sneak up on Page from behind. During the match, a fan hopped the barricade and entered the ring. Savage and Zodiac fought to the outside until the referee and security could escort the fan away.
Meng was disqualified after The Taskmaster interfered on Meng's behalf. This match took place on top of the nearby Cobo Hall. Although it was portrayed as live, the match was actually taped the previous night. WCW stunt co-ordinator Ellis Edwards portrayed the referee for this match, and the commentary team was joined by Bigfoot creator Bob Chandler. After the match, Hogan and The Giant began fighting, resulting in the Giant kayfabe falling off the side of the building. Hart then turned on Hogan by hitting him with the title belt and joined the Dungeon of Doom.
After the match The Yeti came to the ring and assisted Giant by putting Hogan in a double bearhug, so that they were both crushing Hogan at the same time. Randy Savage came to the ring to try to save Hogan, as did Lex Luger. The Giant took the belt from the referee after the match and left with it; Jimmy Hart later revealed that he had a clause put in the contract that the title could change hands on a disqualification, but a week later on Nitro , The Giant was stripped of the title, because the disqualification was due to Hart's interference.
