Halloween Havoc 1998 was the tenth Halloween Havoc event produced by World Championship Wrestling which took place on 31st October 1998

## Background

The main match heading into the show is Goldberg defending his WCW Heaviweight Championship against Diamond Dallas Page. At Starrcade 1996 DDP defeated Arn Anderson to become the leader of the new Four Horsemen which consisted of DDP, Steven Regal, Chris Benoit and Goldberg. In the summer of 1998, Goldberg rised to the top as he became WCW Heaviweight champion, DDP quickly set his sights on the belt as he kept teasing that he would face Goldberg for it, Goldberg started getting pissed about it and after DDP won a fatal 4 way to become NO1 contender to the title, Goldberg speared DDP and attacked Regal and Benoit officially ending Four Horsemen, Goldberg started inflicting pain on his opponents and enjoying it, DDP felt like this wasn't the same Goldberg and the stress of being top champion had gone to his head so he just wanted to have a friendly match against him and get him back to the right mindstate, Goldberg has constantly beaten up DDP and NWO Wolfpac have said they have DDP's back

The NWO Civil Wars have heated up throught the months with almost all of the WCW roster joining one side of New World Order, Arn Anderson and his assistant Brian Adams revealed that this was now a point system with the NWO who got most wins after World War 3 would become the sole NWO and get all the title shots at Starrcade and its leader would become co-owner of WCW, Hollywood Hogan challenged Kevin Nash and Scott Hall to one last triple threat between them, the winner chooses the triple threat matches at World War 3 which can get them the NWO Civil War win if they're smart

Madusa formed an alliance with ladies of WCW and some managers including Sensational Sherri, Bull Nakano, Sharmell, Luna Vachon, Ms.Elizabeth and Nitro Girl Molly as she was pissed that she was the OG member of NWO, faded away in late 96 and no one remembers her, she formed NWO Ladies to enter the NWO Civil Wars, she shockingly challenged NWO Hollywood's The Mob to a 7 on 7 which leader Konnan accepted, they completely brutalized the women, Konnan was about to hit his bat on Miss Elizabeth when NWO Hollywood's Randy Savage attacked him and stopped him, The Mob and NWO Hollywood fought against each other until Hollywood Hogan stopped them and said he didn't want any traitors in his team so he forced Savage and Konnan to fight each other with the loser being forced to leave NWO Hollywood, the problem is if Randy Savage loses, only 1 man leaves, if Konnan loses, all of The Mob(7 people) leave giving a huge blow to Hollywood

Rob Van Dam won a 10 men war at Fall Brawl to become the first ever Extreme Champion as he last made Bam Bam Bigelow bleed to win, The Mob's Bam Bam attacked RVD in the following weeks, Konnan wanted to negotiate with RVD's manager Paul Heyman and told him to give Bam Bam a title shot or he would kill RVD, Heyman relunctantly accepted

Goldberg became US and world champion at the same time and wanted to defend both titles in individual matches but throught the months he started getting more weak and exhausted so he made the tough decision of vacating the US belt, Arn Anderson announced for the first time ever the Havoc Battle Royal would be for the vacant US belt

NWO Chaos wanted the dark angel Vampiro to join their group and beat up Hogan to make sure he wouldn't win the world title but Vampiro wanted to crush someone's dreams within Chaos to join their group which leader Kevin Nash accepted, Vampiro proceeded to make sure Hogan didn't win the title and a few weeks later Chaos member Stevie Ray shockingly turned on his longtime partner and brother Booker T as Booker's dream was crushed and he was kicked out of NWO Chaos. Booker started targeting Stevie saying he will never find a tag partner as good as him, Stevie wanted to apologize to Booker and get him a tag title shot which he did after defeating Vampiro, Nash and HHH will now have to face Booker T and former NWO Chaos member Rey Mysterio Jr who was kicked out by Nash and now also wants revenge

David Flair defeated Dean Malenko, La Parka and Rey Mysterio Jr to become NO1 contender to the Cruiserweight Championship, Ric Flair has tried training his son but The Mob beat up David before the show to make sure he wouldn't defeat their CW champion Billy Kidman
