WCW Halloween Havoc 1998 - Hogan vs. The Warrior


Meltzer awarded the match a minimum score of minus five stars out of five, which was the lowest score EVER for a WCW contest. Readers of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter agreed, and voted it the worst match of the year! Readers of professional wrestling magazine Power Slam cast the same vote, with editor Fin Martin called it 'one of the worst matches ever held'. Even 'Mean' Gene described the contest as a 'disaster'

Hogan felt the match was 'ruined' when he botched a spot that he himself had devised - the infamous 'flash paper' incident, in which he was supposed to 'burn' the Warrior with flash paper but instead he lit the paper in his own face, legitimately burning his mustache and eyebrows. This led to an improvised ending in which Hogan’s nephew, Horace, hit Warrior with what Sports Illustrated writer Luke Winkie called 'the most unsatisfying chair shot in history'
