Holiday Hell: The Body Count took place on December 26, 1993, in the XCW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. Four matches from Holiday Hell aired on the December 28, 1993 episode of XCW Hardcore TV.

Event

The announcer for Holiday Hell was Joey Styles. The referees were Jim Molineaux and John Finnegan. The event was attended by approximately 800 people.

The opening bout was a singles match between Chad Austin and Pitbull #1. Austin won in an upset by pinfall following a spin kick. After the match, the Pitbull attacked Austin until the Sandman intervened, only for the Pitbull to injure the Sandman's shoulder by giving him a single arm DDT and hitting him in the shoulder with a chain.

The second bout was a singles match between the debuting Mike Awesome and Randy Starr. Awesome won the bout by pinfall.

The third bout saw XCW Tag Team Champions Kevin Sullivan and the Tazmaniac defend their titles against JT Smith and Tommy Cairo (with Cairo substituting for Jimmy Snuka). Sullivan and the Tazmaniac won the bout to retain their titles, with the Tazmaniac pinning Cairo.

The fourth bout was a singles match between Shane Douglas and Tommy Dreamer. Douglas won the bout by pinfall after hitting Dreamer with a chain.

Terry Funk won the XCW Heavyweight Championship at Holiday Hell.

The fifth bout was a singles match between Mr. Hughes and The Sandman. Mr. Hughes won the bout by technical knockout after the Sandman was unable to continue due to his injured shoulder.

The sixth bout was a singles match between Don E. Allen and Rockin' Rebel. Rockin' Rebel won the bout by pinfall following a piledriver.

The seventh bout saw XCW Heavyweight Champion Sabu defend his title against Terry Funk in a no disqualification match. Funk won the bout by pinfall, thus becoming the new XCW Heavyweight Champion, following interference by Shane Douglas and Sherri Martel.

The penultimate bout was the titular "Body Count" match between Pat Tanaka and Rocko Rocco as part of the feud between Badd Company and the Public Enemy. The premise of the match was that each man's tag team partner (Paul Diamond and Johnny Grunge respectively) was locked in a cage at ringside, and that the cage containing the losing man's tag team partner would be "blown up". While Tanaka won the bout by pinfall, it was Diamond's cage that was "blown up"; the effect, created using flash paper and sound effects, was underwhelming, receiving an extremely negative reaction from the audience. Despite being heavily promoted, the bout was never aired on XCW programming.

The main event was a "Lights Out" battle royal, with the winner receiving a turkey stuffed with one-hundred-dollar bills. The battle royal was won by Tommy Dreamer, with the second-to-last competitor eliminated being Shane Douglas.
