@urabusxrw04 Thank you so much!!! Finally!!! I thought I was the only one who saw that. It was on WWF.com on the Tuesday before Monday Night Raw... 6 days before it happened. I didn't even watch Nitro to see that comment. I was watching every WWF show (LIvewire, Sunday Night Heat, and then Raw) until I finally saw the match.
I remember when he said that I immediately turned the channel to WWF. It was the dumbest move they ever made! I couldn't miss watching Mick Foley win the title.
Cudos to Ric Flair for going along with that bogus Kevin Nash. Like a true professional, Flair, knowing full well that Nash did NOT earn the title, went along with it. Ric Flair is the greatest and he knows it.
You can just call me... Hollywood! The BIG.BAD.WOLF! HOWLLLLLL! lol. Nitro really hyped this thing up good. I probably was the only person who didn't care about Mankind winning the world title. The only problem I have with this, you don't do this kinda screw job to a sold out georgia dome that holds over 40,000 people. Show was sold out months before hand they had time to change some things.
This would have been a victory for nitro in the monday ratings for that week. Everybody wanted to see this match even the fact that tony gave away that mankind won the title nitro would have still won. It's that finger poke of doom that fucked it up and caused people to watch mankind win the title. Hogan and Nash were playing there games and thought they could get away with it but it backed fired on them and wcw.
I had to correct something you said. It was NOT the "Finger Poke of Doom" that caused people to switch over and watch the Mankind match. People switched over to Raw "literally" seconds after Tony Schiavone made those comments about Mankind winning the title. The actual "Finger Poke of Doom" only compounded problems for WCW because when fans switched back and saw the B.S. and chaos that was happening at WCW in the main event.
nash and hogan was supposed to be the next feud in wcw at this time but nash approached hogan and said if we feud one of us needs to win and one needs to lose and neither wanted the losers payoff!! both were greedy and power hungry and so the only way to settle it was put them back together which sucked cause red vs black was an awesome angle~ and could of gone even further!!
Hogan when he arrived in WCW in 94 when he was a face was booed by the southern fans cause they were pro flair fans.Iam sure he didnt want to turn heel and do the n.W.o. thing but him being a ego maniac he got more tv time and he revived his career.Again say what u want bout Hogan he is the reason Wrestling became what is was but Stone Cold is just as eqaul maybe even better.
@Hperman09 Just keep in mind, and I'm only replying to your specific comment because it's at the top of the list on this video.. if I recall correctly, Eric Bischoff fed him that line...
@icejumpman23 Ric was glad to see wcw being destroyed. Ric was happy on last nitro. Ric betrayed wcw long time ago when he took his belt and brought it to wwf.
Cause you should know thatt the moment he said that, millions of fans watching nitro turned overt to Raw to see Foley win the title, And the WWF beat WCW in the raTINGs ever since,
So if you are referring to Foley as a goof then fuck you cocksucker FOLEY IS GOD.
In isolation I think people over-estimate how bad this angle was. In context it was the last straw. You can't fuck the fans too much. They fucked the fans a lot before this moment.
Hindsight, says they need to have the Hogan/Nash blow-off leading to the end of the NWO.
