Join us in the haunted arena for our look at the second WCW Halloween show, Halloween Havoc 1990! This year, WCW even realized they were making a Halloween show, so that's a plus! The Freebirds face another generic face tag team - can they get booed this time? Ric Flair joins Arn Anderson for tag team action! Lex Luger faces Stan Hansen! Sting faces Sid Vicious for the world title! This show should be pretty good, unless, say, WCW cuts four full matches, forgets to write an ending for a match, has somebody else dress as Sting seven years early for that, and/or has a low budget stage magician for their latest villain. You know, purely hypothetically. For hopefully none of that, let's go to the ring!Music by Michael Gary Brewer at https://www.instantmusicnow.com/Follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/LetsGo2theRing/

In the Summer of 1980, Dusty Rhodes wanted Ole Anderson to be his partner in a Tag Team match against the Assassins. Ole had been on the face side for over a year at this point, but what transpired in a cage match at the Omni set up an amazing story of a year long plot that included the likes of Stan Hansen, Ivan Koloff, Gene Anderson, Tommy Rich, Tony Atlas and more as Ole earned the trust of many and lost the trust of his fellow heels to ultimately take down Dusty Rhodes. This angle had repercussions that went on for the next 7 years and you could even say it had a hand in creating the Four Horseman in 1985. Its Ole Andersons heel turn on Dusty Rhodes from GCW in the Summer of 1980! Give it a listen!
