In nash's words...the PLAN was to do that to essentially protect goldberg; the outsiders were going to screw goldberg for a while and he would eventually get the title back at superbrawl or something later...but goldberg got injured, and they did the fingerpoke of doom to reunite the wolfpack and nWo, and had some of the worst booking decisions ever
Basically from starcade 98-99 you see the worst stretch of booking in wrestling history
That's a Nash lie, Goldberg didn't shatter his hand until over a year after losing to Nash
