I already put one up about Rey Mysterio, but there's another one I greatly disliked, and only one person mentioned it.
The Fingerpoke of Doom was just freakin' stupid! This counts as a "reverse a title change" because Nash should never have lost the belt to Hogan that night. Now, people argue that the angle did what it was supposed to do, which is tick off the fans with a massive heel turn and swerve that made Goldberg the #1 face again, but it backfired. A LOT. I love it when heel turns are done right, but this one just made everyone and everything look absolutely weak:
1. The NWO Wolfpac and NWO Black & White turned to dust. All of the feuds, the wars, the beatings, all just to screw Goldberg out of the belt? Every storyline up to that point was rendered useless, and nothing made sense. Even Vince being the "higher power" made more sense because everyone in the Corporation and the Ministry hated Austin more than they hated each other. The NWO Wolfpac openly helped Goldberg in storylines.
2. Sting looked like a goof because he went months of contemplating just to join the Wolfpac, only to have them go heel a few months later and leave him stuck with nothing to do since Luger and Konnan turned as well. It would have been better if he just stayed mysterious Crow Sting and hid in the shadows for WCW or as a "free agent."
3. The World Heavyweight Title meant turned into steamy horseshit since Kevin Nash literally GAVE Hogan the belt. He goes through months of beating opponents just to earn the shot, needs Scott Hall to taze Goldberg during the match, and then gives it up like it's an apple pie to his neighbor the very next night? Why work that hard just to give the belt to an older guy who hasn't wrestled in months and who's afraid of the guy you beat? Plus, you want him as your leader? It made Nash go from a main-event player to just another high-card stooge for Hogan, and it made the World Heavyweight Title seem less important than screwing over Goldberg.
4. Speaking of Hogan, yeah, he looked like the mastermind behind this elaborate plot to reclaim the World Heavyweight Title from the guy that beat him, but this wasn't even a match where a bunch of guys ran in and helped him win the title in a match. This isn't even equivalent of Dibiase buying the belt from Andre the Giant. Hell, I WISH Hogan would have presented a case full of money to Nash to buy the belt from him. That would have made some sense! This was more "Hey, Nash, give me the belt now, thanks for doing all the dirty work because I'm a punk and I can't even step in the ring against Goldberg...no, wait, it has to be done in a match, so let's do this in front of the entire world, let's show how much I control you and them." At least Edge, the Ultimate Opportunist, takes his opportunities in the ring. Remember, he had to win Money in the Bank to use it. Hogan never looked weaker and more pathetic than that moment.
5. They put all of their eggs in one basket with Goldberg basically being the only guy to compete against the NWO. At least the Wolfpac was a bunch of faces who could hang with NWO Hollywood. WCW already looked like a bunch of low level jobbers and mid-carders who didn't matter in the main event scene. With the turn, the NWO literally had ALL of the top heels, and the only one main-event face to challenge them was Goldberg. The WWE ALWAYS had minimum two main-event faces and two main-event heels (guys qualified to win the top title) since the first Wrestlemania at any point (with a few short-term exceptions, but I doubt it lasted more than 6 months).
6. Finally, one of the few matches that has NEVER happened in the history of wrestling, and this is the result? The fans were baited into a Goldberg\Hogan rematch on free TV, then a Nash\Hogan match, and between the two not one punch was thrown. This kind of bait and switch pissed a lot of people off in the wrong way. They're lucky they didn't try this on a PPV, because a lot of people would want their money back. WCW could have marketed and benefitted so well if either match had taken place. Even if Nash turned on Goldberg at the end of the Hogan\Goldberg rematch, THAT would have been a much more accepted ending than a fingerpoke. He may well have poked with the middle finger and flipped off the fans. Too bad the fans flipped back by flipping channels.
