Welcome to the Armpit wrestling quiz for the week of October 29, 2007. Last week we looked at the first 5 years of Halloween Havoc, and now we’re going to look at the final 7 years. It’s a tradition that is sorely missed, but so was the Great American Bash, and WWE took care of that real quick.

Let’s now begin, “Halloween Havoc, Part 2."

Last week's answers:

-At HH ’89, Jim Ross compared Sting to his former partner, the Ultimate Warrior (not mentioning him by name, of course).

-At HH ’90, the fake Sting was Barry Windham. That was a whopping 17 years ago, and you really have to hand it to Sting for still being in shape and turning in quality matches in TNA at his age.

-At HH ’91, Steve Austin wrestled Dustin Runnels in a very good match. Dave Meltzer, when rating the match in 1991, called Austin the next Ric Flair. Good call.

-HH ’92 took place in the future headquarters of ECW, Philadelphia, PA. The crowd was so brutal that night for WCW that it was comical. They just rejected everything presented to them. It’s called being out of touch with your audience.

-The stipulation of the Jack-Vader match at HH ’93 was a Texas Death Match.

Here are this week's questions. Remember, the new rules are that you no longer need to submit your questions, and no winners will be declared. We're just doing this for fun and to honor the forgotten world of wrestling history.

1. WCW signed Hulk Hogan in 1994, and he turned around their PPV fortunes pretty much instantly. Ric Flair vowed to retire if he didn’t beat Hogan that night, and silly me, I was very sad that day because I really thought he was going to retire. Actually, WCW was planning his return to the ring before he retired. On that historic night, Flair’s retirement was an afterthought, because they went right to an angle. What masked man attacked Hogan that night?

2. Halloween Havoc ’95 happened just as Monday Nitro was in its infancy. Nitro would go on to change the industry like no other show would, but that didn’t happen until ’96. In ’95, WCW still did dumb things. What wrestler “fell off the roof of the building" on this show?

3. Halloween Havoc ’96 was headlined by the same match that drew loads of money in the WWF: Hogan vs. Savage. WCW was starting to really roll at this point, and at the end of the show, yet another WWF legend made his WCW debut. Who was it?

4. In 1997, WCW was really rocking. The pattern was that the main events were bad, but the undercards were awesome. This show was no exception, and in fact, it drew a huge buyrate. Backstage, DDP was feeling good about himself for helping draw such a successful show, but quickly realized that it wasn’t him that drew the house, it was the Hogan vs. Piper main event (in DDP’s defense, he was incredibly over at this point). The undercard featured what is generally acknowledged as one of the best WCW matches of all-time. What two guys were in that match?

5. The less said about Havoc ’98, the better. WCW had its best money year in 1998, but by this time, the WWF had surpassed them in popularity and were quickly gaining speed as WCW began a painful freefall. Goldberg wrestled DDP to close out the show, and the next night on Nitro, they replayed the match. This was the first match my mom ever saw, and she was mesmerized by his charisma (“He looks meeeeeeeean!"). Why did WCW replay that match for free on Nitro that night?

6. Havoc ’99 took place during a very depressing time for WCW. In one of his last matches with the company, Chris Benoit lost his TV title that night to Rick Steiner. What man knocked out Benoit with a steel chair, leading to the finish?

7. What was once a fun, memorable tradition had, by the year 2000, turned into a boring, depressing torture session. One look at the card shows the “brilliance" of the booking at the time, which was God awful. The card was peppered with people who are now either working for TNA, WWE, are retired, or dead. One of those lives was lost this year, and his name was Brian Adams. He and his partner Bryan Clark (how did that guy not become a bigger star in this business??) lost a handicap elimination match to what wrestler?

Answers will be posted next week.
