The North-South Connection

Freak Out Drive-In month returns for the 2026 season!

Wrestling War Zone heads to Las Vegas! On episode 167, Chad & JT break down WCW Halloween Havoc 1997, emanating from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on October 26, 1997.

And while Hollywood Hogan and Roddy Piper may be on top of the card, the night belongs to Rey Mysterio Jr. and Eddie Guerrero.

With Rey's mask and Eddie's WCW Cruiserweight Championship both on the line, the two deliver an unforgettable Title vs. Mask Match that has become one of the defining matches of WCW's cruiserweight era. Can Rey save his mask and regain the championship, or will Eddie Guerrero's incredible 1997 run continue?

The heated rivalry between Diamond Dallas Page and Randy Savage also reaches its conclusion in a wild Las Vegas Sudden Death Match, with Miss Elizabeth at Savage's side and the two rivals looking to finally settle the score.

Then it's time for the main event as Hollywood Hogan battles “Rowdy” Roddy Piper inside a steel cage. Can Piper once again get the better of the nWo's leader, or will Hogan finally put Hot Rod behind him?

Elsewhere, Ric Flair seeks revenge against Curt Hennig with the United States Championship on the line, Lex Luger battles Scott Hall with Larry Zbyszko serving as special referee, Goldberg inserts himself into Steve McMichael's match with Alex Wright, Jacqueline takes on Disco Inferno, and the international stars of WCW fill out a loaded card.

Chad & JT break down:

• The all-time classic between Rey Mysterio Jr. and Eddie Guerrero

Rey vs. Eddie delivers a masterpiece. Savage and DDP go to war. Piper steps inside the cage with Hogan. Halloween Havoc has arrived.
