On December 29, 1997, WCW Monday Nitro was held at The Baltimore Arena. This was just one day after the Hulk Hogan-Sting match at Starrcade in DC that still lives in infamy.

The results from that night:

• Goldberg defeats Glacier.

• Chris Benoit defeats Van Hammer by DQ after interference by Raven’s Flock. Steve McMichael runs in to assist his fellow Horseman Benoit.

• Eddie Guerrero loses the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship to Ultimo Dragon.

• Diamond Dallas Page defeats Mortis to retain the U.S. Heavyweight Championship.

• Disco Inferno loses the WCW World Television Championship to Booker T.

• Chris Jericho lost to Curt Hennig.

• In a rematch from the night before, Buff Bagwell takes on Lex Luger. This time Luger wins.

• There’s also a rematch between Hulk Hogan and Sting, but more on that in a minute.
