Since acquiring the wcw brand, we have seen wwe use the names Great American Bash, Starrcade, Clash of the Champions and more. I always thought Halloween Havoc was a cool sounding name and I liked some of the spooky imagery. Why hasn't wwe touched it? Now that they saw aew use bash at the beach will they finally use this and other wcw concepts?

That's always the event I steal, no matter what promotion, when I happen to be in mood for some fantasy booking. Lucky for you, EoE: Well There's Your Problem has planned us live viewing of Halloween Havoc for 2020! And it's free 9.99, here at FAN!

They didn't create it. So it trash in Vinces eyes. Plus Great American Bash didn't do well for them when they revived it.

Including one as the title of a July 4th Smackdown? Halloween Havoc could be fun, but alas...........everybody too srs to have fun grrr

Because they don't own the trademark anymore. It expired in 2005 and they never reapplied, so it became a dead/abandoned trademark and that apparently would've presented problems if they'd tried to register it again. It's now owned by an unrelated company.

Undisputed vs. New Day and Kevin Owens in a Chamber of Horrors match with a big fake electric chair.
And then the main event, Asuka's monster truck with a mask on the front vs. Stephanie McMahon's monster truck that has her trademark grin and the words HISTORIC on the side in a sumo match.

That's just silly talk. Why would you revive something like "Halloween Havoc" when your creative team has great ideas like "Fatal 4 Way," and "Great Balls of Fire?"

Smart business move. Why would they want to drudge up the memories of Hogan/Warrior 2?

Ok, I'll go morbid: perhaps if they used the old graveyard set, Vince wouldn't be able to stop himself from having actual dead wrestler names put on the headstones and WWE staff/execs know this?

because "wcw ruins everything"
probably because it'd be too close to survivor series. or because wcw has been dead 19 years.
the real answer is they cant get Eric Bischoff to dress up as a vampire.

I miss it. It'd be the perfect show for the first Aleister Black vs. The Fiend match. {Spoiler}With Papa Shango the guest referee.

I think on the list of most asked-for show names, Halloween Havoc is at the top. I've seen more fans asking for that than anything else. So my guess is... f*** the audience we tell you what to like? They've even used damn Starrcade.

Probably because Vince doesn't "get it".
Which fits because it's the one WCW property the fans want the most.
