This is what caused the tournament to crown a new WCW World Champion.

By the end of the night, Goldberg, who won the WCW United States Championship from Sid Vicious earlier in the show, was also the WCW World Champion after defeating Sting in the main event at Havoc.
So, Goldberg is the champion, the top baby face is finally the top champion for the second time in his career. What could go wrong? Well…. (more…)

It wouldn’t take long for Booker to connect with the fans and often times Booker had the entire arena “raising the roof.” (more…)
