Kevin Nash criticized WCW's handling of Goldberg's winning streak, arguing that Goldberg should have been 62-0 instead of 179-0 when Nash defeated him at Starrcade 1998, calling the inflated numbers unrealistic since wrestlers couldn't possibly compete that frequently. Nash also revealed that Goldberg had actually lost a dark match to a member of Techno Team 2000 before his official streak began, meaning Goldberg was never truly undefeated as WCW promoted.
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 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.
