WCW emanates from Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas for this edition of WCW Monday Nitro on January 22nd, 1996, where there are not one, but TWO big title matches on hand. The WCW World Heavyweight Championship is currently held by Ric Flair, and on this edition of WCW Nitro, he defends it against “The Macho Man” Randy Savage. But, this isn’t the main event! The second title match, which sees Harlem Heat defending the WCW World Tag Team Championships against Sting & Lex Luger…is also not the main event! The main event of this show sees Hulk Hogan taking on the current WCW United States Heavyweight Champion, One Man Gang! It is not for the title. Why is it the main event? Because it is, brother. Of course, Hulk Hogan’s eyes aren’t set on the US Championship, they’re set on the World Championship, and he is hoping that his “friend”, Randy Savage, will give him the first shot as champion. The Macho Man sees things a little differently, though. Also on this show, Dean Malenko takes on the “Loose Cannon”, Brian Pillman! All of that, and so much more, on this week’s DEADLOCK Podcast!
