So, this was originally scheduled to be an LOP Radio All-Star program but things didn't quite work out as planned. If you wanted to hear a disembodied voice discuss the year of 2015 in WWE really bad today, though, fear not. We've got you covered. Everyone has their own opinions on what the best match of 2015 was, who the best overall performer was, what PPV stood atop the heap as the best of the year. We've already heard from many of the hosts from LOP Radio as it pertains to what their picks were, but what about me? What about Steven? We're killing two birds with one stone, friends, as the freshly departed All-Star show morphs into the Late Shift with Steve's Second Annual 2015 Shifty Awards! Join me, won't you? 

One of the tag lines WCW gave Halloween Havoc '90 was "A Night That Will Haunt You Forever." Indeed. Not only is this a PPV that will haunt fans who were looking for better quality in the booking, it is a night that will forever haunt the legacy of the man called Sting. Sting, in his first PPV as heavyweight champion, must endure the parlor tricks of a magician named Black Scorpion, while defending his world title against an too-green Sid Vicious. On top of all of this, we see the debut of the screwiest screw job angle--the fake Sting. Can Sting survive booking that seems only capable of crippling his first world title reign? Find out on Halloween Havoc '90. Trigger warning: the content may indeed haunt you forever. ...... WCW was the genesis of fandom for millions of pro wrestling enthusiasts over the course of a tumultuous 12 and half year run. From Starrcade of 1988 all the way to Greed of 2001, the company's fortunes, their glories and missteps, can be traced though their larger than life PPV event
