The 1992 Halloween Havoc was the fourth annual
streaming service, the WWE Network.[1]
Production
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This was the second Halloween Havoc held at this venue after the inaugural 1989 event.[2]
The event featured professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Professional wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3]

The opening bout was a
dark match
that did not air on the pay-per-view broadcast.
The second bout was a
Thesz Press, enabling Gunn to pin Hayes. Although Douglas, Gunn, and Zenk were the faces going into the match, they were vigorously booed by the Philadelphia audience, resulting in Douglas and Gunn working as heels.[4]
The third bout was a singles match between
roll-up
Steamboat. Steamboat was in turn able to reverse this and pin Pillman.
The fourth bout was
clothesline
from Vader, leading him to retire.
The fifth bout was a tag team match in which
no-showed the event.[6] Austin and Williams originally thought they had won the match after Austin pinned Windham, however as Windham was not the legal man in the match, the original referee, Randy Anderson, overturned the decision of referee Nick Patrick
and restarted the match. The match subsequently ended in a time limit draw after 30 minutes.
The sixth bout was a singles match in which
NWA World Heavyweight Champion Masahiro Chono defended his title against Rick Rude. Both competitors were able to choose their own guest referee for the match, with Chono choosing Kensuke Sasaki and Rude choosing Harley Race. Prior to the match, Ole Anderson
flipped a coin which determined that Race would be inside the ring while Sasaki would be outside. The match ended when Chono was disqualified by Race for throwing Rude over the top rope, enabling him to retain the title despite losing the match.
The seventh bout was a singles match in which
WCW World Heavyweight Champion Ron Simmons defended his title against The Barbarian. The match ended when Simmons powerslammed
The Barbarian and then pinned him.
The main event was a
Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal" concept, in which a spin of a wheel of fortune
earlier in the evening was used to determine the match type. The potential options were:
- Barbed wire match
- Cage match
- Coal miner's glove match
- Dog collar match
- First blood match
- "I quit" match
- Lumberjacks with belts match
- Prince of Darkness match
- Russian chain match
- Texas bullrope match
- Texas death match
- Spinner's choice
The match ended when Sting retrieved the coal miner's glove and struck Roberts with it, causing a snake Roberts was holding to turn on him and bite him in the face. This allowed Sting to pin Roberts.
