Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WCW Halloween Havoc 1995 29/10/1995 Match 8 Part 8 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects

Match/Stipulations: “The Total Package" Lex Luther vs. "The Macho Man" Randy Savage; Singles Match; after their two individual qualifying matches earlier tonight

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 7/10

Match Slot Storyline: 7/10

Crowd Participation: 6/10

On Commentary: Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel" 9/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 7/10

Recommend Watch: 7/10

Match Total: 43/60 - this match/match slot is good

Comments: this was solidly good, Lugar once again gets hit by this yellow wrapping paper from earlier in his entrance, in the match itself Savage in kayfabe took a swing at our referee Nick Patrick, to put over he will hit anything that is moving and now we come on to the big thing about this match/match slot. We have the commentary team putting over in a big way in one way or another that they are still concerned about what happened in the previous match slot and the consequences for the main event if there is to be one? On one hand it works excellent way well, but on the other hand it works so well indeed that this match/match slot is playing out in the backdrop that kind of feeling. I can't really take any marks off for this, because that is what they were clearly going for, but in the same token I do have to point out that it worked to some cost which is very little but still some cost.

Basic Result: "The Macho Man" Randy Savage is victorious

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan/"Wiesel": Commentary talk about what they had just seen over video replays with "The Macho Man" Randy Savage's entrance theme of "Ooooooh Yeeaah!"  Schiavone & Heenan; appearing on screen still rolling with The Giant Hogan situation and trying to find out more, I should really point out Heenan is losing it, with Heenan storming off screen, with  Schiavone making a joke in a nutshell; that is the best thing that has happened to me all night, Schiavone continues talking about the ongoing situation. [A moment or two later] Heenan returns to on-screen, a little bit calmer than before. Schiavone makes another joke there is an opening for a producer are you interested in filling it? [Without breaking the seriousness of this situation unfolding.] They take a look at the replay of why we are in this current situation and then they appear back on-screen, Schiavone in a nutshell again reassures us that the main event is still happening, with Heenan getting on his knees to find out any information about the condition of one of these competitors and pleading with basically the production truck to go and find out. Heman getting off his knees and sitting back on his chair to give Schiavone a third-degree about not caring, but he does, so we are just left waiting to find out what is happening with Heenan standing up and asking anyone for a walkie-talkie with that Schiavone sends us to the ring.

Michael Buffer: Ring announcer: he does the usual, he begins to introduce the contender, but he says there has been a change and introduces the WCW World Heavyweight Champion Hogan [with “Mouth of the South Jimmy" Hart; carrying the championship,] with Heenan on commentary pointing out Hogan is not dressed in a complete. With Schiavone and Heenan putting over feelings and something bad has happened. Hogan begins a promo basically saying what happened out there wasn't meant to go down like that, but then suddenly he gets interrupted by the entrance music of The Dungeon of Doom's The Giant [with "The Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan] with Buffer finishing off his duties. [There are two things I need to point out before finishing off this particular content; the first is the yellow wrapping paper strikes again as you will see it in The Giant and Sullivan's entrance and a quick apologies if I didn't pick up the yellow wrapping paper earlier just to cover and back either way and finally this would be The Giant's in-ring debut.]
