“Now, THIS is where the Big Girls play…”

On December 18, 1995, WCW continued to ride the wave of momentum they had been creating over the past few months with their flagship show, WCW Monday Nitro. On this episode of Nitro, in the very first segment of the show, we are introduced to the newest member of the WCW roster. Not only the newest member of the roster, but the current WWF Women’s Champion?!

Alundra Blayze, now known as Madusa, made her debut in a big way. Something that we rarely seen on national pro-wrestling television. Madusa took the WWF Women’s Championship to the competition, and threw it in the trash.

We also have some big matches on this show, including the first ever 1-on-1 encounter between Ric Flair & Eddie Guerrero. The WCW World Heavyweight Championship is also on the line in our main event, as “Macho Man” Randy Savage defends the big gold against The Giant, who of course has his crazy crew with him of Jimmy Hart & The Taskmaster.

Also, Lex Luger takes on Marcus Alexander Bagwell (also known as Buff Bagwell later on), Sting takes on Earl Robert Eaton (Bobby Eaton!), and of course, Hulk Hogan makes an appearance, despite him being on PROBATION!

All of that, and much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!

“THIS IS BULL..”

We’re on the road to WWF WrestleMania 13, but before we get there, we have to set into the WAR ZONE. That’s right, it’s WWF Monday Night RAW is WAR, which is a really long name that eventually is just WWF RAW is WAR! There’s a lot of big matches coming up on this PPV, and we get a little piece of all of them on this very show.

Of course, this is the episode of RAW where Bret Hart, after a main event cage match for the WWF Championship against Sycho Sid, loses his mind. He feels like everyone is against him, and he decides to take out that frustration verbally after pushing Vince McMahon down to the canvas! That main event also includes run-ins from Stone Cold Steve Austin & The Undertaker, who both want their opponent at WrestleMania 13 to leave this show with the WWF Championship, so they can get a shot at it.

Also on this show, we get to hear from Shawn Michaels, who just recently returned to the WWF, and we get an updated on his condition. Faarooq & Ahmed Johnson are barred from ringside during a match between the Legion of Doom & the Nation of Domination, which leads to some backstage chaos between the two. Ken Shamrock is here to scout a legend in Aaron Ferguson, and Billy Gunn also happens to be here getting in the way of that.

Of course, we have to mention the REAL main event; Mini Vader & Mini Mankind take on Mini Goldust & Mascarita Sagrada. It does not get any better than this.

All of that, and much more, on this episode of the DEADLOCK Podcast!
