Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and the Fingerpoke of Doom!

Ten days removed from WCW Starrcade 1998 (where Kevin Nash ended the infamous undefeated streak of Bill Goldberg), two significant blunders occurred:

One involving Tony Schiavone and another involving Hulk Hogan, which led to the infamous Fingerpoke of Doom. It is a moment forever burned in the minds of wrestling fans and considered by many the beginning of the end for WCW.

President Hulk Hogan?

"All good things must come to an end. I had a great career. The fans have been great. I love you guys and thanks for sticking with me. This really helps me segue into being the next President of the United States."

We were also ten days removed from Kevin Nash ending the undefeated streak of Bill Goldberg. Promoted for the main event of this Nitro was their rematch: Goldberg’s chance for revenge.

The Fingerpoke of Doom – The Match Itself

Back at the Dome, the bell rang. The match started with Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash circling one another, soaking in the nuclear crowd reaction for a bit. Then, Hogan poked Nash in the chest.

Nash immediately fell to the mat like a sack of potatoes, followed by Hogan covering him for the pin. Hulk Hogan was crowned the new WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
