Kevin Nash Reveals Why Fingerpoke of Doom Really Happened

Kevin Nash revealed at River City Wrestling Con that the infamous "Fingerpoke of Doom" from January 4, 1999, was his idea to make the moment more shocking. Nash said the original plan called for a six-to-eight minute match before Hulk Hogan would win the WCW World Title, but he pitched having Hogan simply poke him in the chest instead, arguing it would get a better response from the crowd. Nash defended the decision and disputed claims that he sabotaged his own championship push, pointing out that he booked himself to beat Goldberg only to give up the title six days later.

Reason Why WCW’s Planned NWO Nitro Show Was Scrapped

Kevin Nash revealed at River City Wrestling Con that WCW originally planned for the NWO to completely take over Monday Night Nitro, with the show becoming "NWO Nitro" with new graphics and everything, while Sting and DDP would lead a faction to take back the company. According to Nash, this plan was derailed by internal politics and pressure on Eric Bischoff from Turner executives. Nash also claimed that WCW's pay-per-view revenue was allocated to Turner Home Entertainment rather than back to WCW, which he says explains why the company appeared to be losing money despite its success.
