Original Plans for Halloween Havoc 99

By Scott Keith on 23 March 2019

When WCW originally booked the card for Havoc 99 it was before Russo and Ed Ferrera took over.
The Main event was a rematch between Heel Sting and babyface Hogan from Fall Brawl 99. Also it was Goldberg challenging Sid for the US title.
When Russo came in, he changed everything in WCW, including Jeff Jarrett returning, and Hogan laying down for no reason in the Havoc title match.
Any idea what the original plans were before Russo took over? Also when WCW sent Bischoff home prior to Fall Brawl, did they know they were getting Russo to replace him or did that come later?


I think it's funny you think there was any "original plan" at that point. Sting v. Hogan at Fall Brawl wasn't even booked until literally the week of the show after they had an emergency meeting to figure out WTF they were doing for the show. The chances of them knowing where they were going with Havoc are about as good as Jon Jones passing a drug test.
