Hulk Hogan, who had crossed over to the dark side (meaning that he had switched color schemes from red & yellow to all black, but otherwise was the same), was embroiled in a feud with The Giant. At Halloween Havoc '95, they agreed to meet in two separate battles: first, they would engage in a monster truck match on the roof of Cobo Hall, located near the arena for Havoc…then, later, they would have a wrestling match.
As planned, they got into their respective monster trucks and collided a few times. They were operating under sumo rules it appears, with each truck trying to push the other out of a circle. Hogan's truck prevailed in pushing the Giant's out of the circle. The Giant was not going to take this defeat lying down, however. He bailed out of his truck, Hogan had gotten out of his as well, and The Giant stalked toward Hogan, catching up to him in a position perilously close to the edge of the roof. They choked each other. Giant forced Hogan to step back up onto the ledge, and then Giant followed him up. As they fought and jostled for position, Eric Bischoff and Bobby Heenan showed increasing fear about what a dangerous thing we were watching...
...and then their fears came to fruition, as Hogan shoved Giant loose of him and caused Giant to lose his balance and fall backward off the edge of the building. Bischoff helplessly screamed, "NO! NO! NO!" A guest monster truck expert chimed in with hilarious monotony in matter-of-factly saying, "That wasn't supposed to happen."
Bischoff is listening in trying to get word from the back. Heenan asks, "Which side did he fall off? The water side, the street side, or what?" Bischoff dismissively replies, "Well, you've got a parking lot and you've got a river, what difference does it make?" Heenan facepalms hard on the desk.
After a couple of minutes of acting panicked about the death we just witnessed, they shrug and throw it back to the ring for more action, a match between Lex Luger and Randy Savage.
Bischoff does leave the announce table to give way to Tony Schiavone, who is just not going to sell this stupid angle at all. I mean, he says the words "we're stunned," but he isn't nearly trying to put over the mood of having just watched a dude fall to his demise. He says he's hoping to hear word, and says, "Are we gonna have a match or not?" Heenan tries to be the pro here and acts like he's having a hard time calling the next match, but Tony basically keeps telling him to calm down and snap out of it.
Once that match is in the books, it's time for our scheduled main event of Hulk Hogan vs. The Giant. Hogan comes to the ring, grabs a mic, and begins to apologize for what happened earlier. He is interrupted by the Dungeon of Doom music, and a grand total of SIXTEEN AND A HALF MINUTES after he fell off the roof of the ****ing building…
…the Giant emerges through the curtain totally unscathed and now in his wrestling gear, ready to go.
Tony Schiavone, with only mild surprise in his voice, says, "He's risen from the dead."
Bobby Heenan adds, "I do not understand anything. … No one could survive a fall off a five-story rooftop. Something has happened here."
And with that, The Giant marches into the ring and commences his main event match on schedule. There is never an explanation as to what he fell on, how he could possibly be okay, nothing. Nor is there seemingly any sort of story advancement to be found in him falling off of the roof…even if you suspend disbelief, you can't find a reason for them doing the roof fall. The whole thing will forever remain an absurdity that I cannot process.
