Where is Sammy G and The Kingdom?
Sammy Guevara wrestled in Australia this past weekend for WSW, so he's healthy. The Kingdom wrestled at the last two sets of Ring of Honor tapings. That is effectively their role at this point. So they're around!
Maybe a dumb question but are you aware of any time where someone was supposed to go over but it was a surprise to the winning wrestler? Sometimes the reactions to winning, especially a title, seem far too real.
If you mean the "reverse screwjob," people in AEW joked that they would have to do that to get Bryan Danielson to win the belt because he preferred to put people over, but that isn't what happened. There were a number of accidental title changed. Gene Kiniski and Dory Funk Jr, the WrestleMania 2000 Hardcore Title, Thea Hail and Blake Monroe, Melina and Mickie James, but I can't think of one where they swerved a person and gave them a title. I heard of it once a couple of years ago on a low level indie, maybe?
What would you say the worst Halloween Havoc match is? I say Chambers Of Horrors/ Warrior and Hogan.
Oh, it's Warrior vs. Hogan to me. Warrior got brought in to really reinvigorate WCW as WWF was gaining a foothold. It sucked. It was an embarrassment. Some honorable mentions are Freebirds vs. Renegade Warriors, Luger vs. Meng, Alex Wright vs. Mongo, Mike Awesome vs. Vampiro. WCW PPV had some real shitters, bro
