Our journey through WCW in 1996 after Hogan joined the nWo has brought us to Halloween Havoc. 6 weeks of humiliating and torturing the Macho Man has made him furious and out for cold blooded revenge. The WCW World Heavyweight Title is on the line in this titanic encounter.

Also, referee Nick Patrick is battling injury to go out there and bring WCW stability, with his fair, down the line officiating. He’s out there as the nWo’s Syxx battles Chris Jericho.

If you’d like to check out our wonderful running playlist covering Nick Patrick’s officiating in mid to late 1996, here is the link we mentioned in the podcast:

The Outsiders have sure left their mark on WCW since their arrival, but here’s their first shot at Tag Team gold. Will they add more belts to the nWo’s already dominant run since Bash at the Beach?
