The “Fingerpoke of Doom” incident refers to a controversial moment in professional wrestling history that occurred on January 4, 1999, during an episode of WCW Monday Nitro. Hulk Hogan, who was the reigning WCW World Heavyweight Champion, was scheduled to defend his title against Kevin Nash. However, in a surprising turn of events, Nash (who was a member of the nWo faction alongside Hogan) poked Hogan in the chest with his finger, leading to Hogan dramatically falling to the mat and allowing Nash to pin him for the victory. This abrupt and anticlimactic ending to the match shocked and angered many fans, as it undermined the significance of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and was seen as a cheap way to generate buzz for the nWo storyline. The “Fingerpoke of Doom” is often cited as one of the key moments that contributed to the decline of WCW’s popularity and eventual demise.
