Halloween Havoc 1990 was the second Halloween Havoc event produced by World Championship Wrestling which took place on 28th October 1990

## Background

The main match heading into the show is a WCW Heaviweight champion Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat. When Four Horsemen were dominating the WCW scene in 1989, it was Ricky Steamboat debuting at Great American Bash 1989 that took them down a notch, he tried to get a WCW Heaviweight title shot but failed in the form of a gauntlet, Ricky Steamboat assembled a team of former WWF Champions to defeat Four Horsemen in a War Games match at Halloween Havoc 1989, almost a year later, at Saturday Night 66 Ric Flair declared he had no challengers left to which Ricky Steamboat responded with a beatdown, Steamboat says that Flair never beat him 1 on 1 and he deserves this shot, Flair promises to kill Steamboat tonight

At Starrcade 1989, Stan Hansen defeated Lex Luger to win the TV Championship, the cocky rookie was not happy in the slightest as he started attacking Hansen after every title defense he had but sometimes he would help Hansen win the matches as Luger wanted to be the one to take the TV title from him. At Capital Combat 1990 they would have their rematch where Luger lost yet again, Hansen said he was once like Luger, a cocky rookie with huge potential but a hot head and would like to mentor him, Luger responded with a headbutt but started warming up to the idea throught the weeks, although at Saturday Night 62 he would cause Hansen to lose the TV Championship to Pillman, he also saved him once The Police started attacking Hansen. At Great American Bash, Luger yet again saved Hansen from The Police and they finally shook hands as this mentor-protege relationship started, multiple vignettes were aired with them working together and Samoan Swat Team have issued a challenge for tonight to see how well they work as a team.

Ted Turner announced a new concept which would start taking place at every Halloween Havoc, the Havoc Battle Royal, a battle royal where all the men are in costumes hiding their faces, the winner will face the United States Champion later on the night

Vader has been destroying everyone since his debut, his tag matches with Kevin Sullivan are basically handicap with the way Vader does all the work, since late june he has been starting to treat Sullivan as his bitch, tonight they get a tag title shot against Steiner Brothers

At Great American Bash, Fabulous Freebirds became the first ever cash in the ladder winners, Doom were pissed that they weren't even involved in the match and they would've won it if they were, Freebirds take this as a challenge and will put their contracts on the line

## Details

* The Havoc battle royal was poorly recieved because since everyone wore masks, the crowd didn't know who they were reacting towards, they only knew Vader and El Gigante because of the size difference
* The Police came out after the match to beat up Hansen and Luger but they were saved by Midnight Express
* Kevin Sullivan tried celebrating with Vader but Vader called him his bitch and demanded for Sullivan to put the US title on his waist while Vader holds both tag titles in his arms, Vader turns heel
* After the CITL tag match, Arn Anderson and Larry Zbyszko joined forces attacking Doom as they formed The Enforcers
* Since Ole Anderson didn't show up with Flair, the rumors were true that he had quietly retired and has been replaced by Zbyszko in the Four Horsemen
* Ric Flair figure fours Steamboat and Arn grabs his hand and makes him tap out without the ref seeing Arn, only hearing the taps
* Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat was rated 5 stars
