Loss Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 This should be fun. Do you happen to have the Observer issued right after WCW did the Fingerpoke of Doom title change with Hogan and Nash? Goodhelmet and I were just talking about it, and we're very curious what he had to say about it at the time. Post whenever you can and if you can. Thanks!

Guest Hunter's Torn Quad Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 WCW put the title back on Hulk Hogan at the Georgia Dome, when Bill Goldberg was being held hostage at the police station and couldn?t get across the street for 30 minutes. Nash simply laid down for Hogan at 1:38 when Hogan tapped him with his finger and they all got up laughing. Hogan, Nash, Luger, Scott Steiner and Bagwell will form the new Wolfpac (since they didn?t want to drop the moniker because Wolfpac is the hottest selling merchandise) and the idea is to recreate 1996-87 because that?s when the company caught fire. Hope they remember another key of that period was they were presenting incredible matches on television and signed nearly every great young wrestler in the world and were blowing their opposition away in the ring, something that is far from the case today. Goldberg did a run-in after and destroyed a few guys until Hall zapped Goldberg a few times with a taser, he was handcuffed to the ropes and spraypainted red nWo on his back and they spray painted his head, which he didn?t seem thrilled about. The fans live were furious since they?d been promised a Goldberg v Nash main event which never took place, and instead got a main event where two guys didn?t touch. Overall, the Georgia Dome was an absolute disaster of a show and it would probably take 18 pages to list all the reasons why. During the show on two occasions, the chimpanzees running WCW told Schiavone to say that Raw was taped and that Foley would be winning the title on the opposition show, so don?t switch channels. Nitro was beyond awful, and he was telling people there?s a world title change going to happen on the other channel ? Who runs this circus ? He also knocked Foley, laughing about a company that would make him champ, which isn?t going to help Schiavone?s rep with wrestling fans since Foley is so universally respected. WWF shot back when they heard what was being said, since even the show is taped the commentary is done live, and said thy weren?t going to present a main even that starts two minutes before the show goes off the air and consist of nothing but walking and talking. There wasn't a lot of space for normal news in that week's Observer, as it was also the week of Sam Muchnick's death and the year end awards.
