#3 There's a tradition of great matches to be upheld—and redeemed

Halloween Havoc has featured a veritable who's who list of wrestling superstars and legends. In just the first Halloween Havoc, you have three hall of fame members; Sting, The Nature Boy Ric Flair, and the Hardcore Legend Terry Funk.

Other luminaries who participated in the Halloween Havoc events are some of the most beloved names in sports entertainment. WWE Hall of Famer Jake "The Snake" Roberts took on Sting in the only coal miner's glove match of the modern era. Big Van Vader and Cactus Jack beat each other half to death in a Texas Death Match.

Then there was the fated reunion of Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior, which evened up their series one to one. In short, there are so many great matches and great wrestlers involved with the Halloween Havoc pay per view that it has a legacy all of its own.

Of course, there are some real stinkers on the list, too, like Kronik vs. Goldberg. That legacy needs to be redeemed as well.
