Hoegan could have at least put on his ring gear

I don't think it was reported on ever, but Hulk during the few months before this event was studying pressure points in his home gym. He was trying to reduce the load on his back/legs from doing the leg drop, and with him having creative control, he wanted to try his pressure point tactic. When we were in that ring, he legit hit a pressure point that damn near paralyzed me. Thankfully it was only temporary and our coup was successful.
The worst part wasn’t even the title change.
It was the Nash heel turn and willingly being hogan’s flunky again letting him take over his WAY more popular group and run it into the ground
Wasn't my call pal. I was part of creative but I didn't get control of the book for another month or so. Have to take that up with Eazy E or whoever had final say at that time.

I'm sorry, but this shyt is still hilarious to me after 25 years.
Hogan, Hall and Nash had the big entrances just for a few minutes of work
Hogan and Nash stalling and taunting each for what it seemed like an eternity
Schiavone and Brain just being exasperated with all the shenanigans
Goldberg looking like a rube running down to the ring to receive his ass kicking
Lex Lugar running down for the save...only to turn on Goldberg for..... reasons
Scott Hall bringing out the stun gun
Bischoff being hilarious on commentary and providing SFX for the stun gun and spray cans
It was some good shyt pal

Sorry, I was too busy watching Mick Foley win the WWF Championship on RAW. 
Have a nice day.

This is a good point you make. How could Kevin Nash let the finger poke of doom happen? He just beat Goldberg and was hotter than fish grease. It seems unlike Kevin to do a job of that magnitude at that time.

Imitating russo booking killed them then they hired the actual guy
Never understood why anybody thought he was saving Goldberg when he was in the Wolfpac
Its been alleged by some it was because he and Hogan made an agreement on that because Hogan wanted to end Goldberg’s streak but relented to Nash

Fun fact: This is not what killed WCW. They were still getting very high ratings afterwards, but it was HOEgan's injury during the height of this angle that really hurt the company. They had no plan B so everything just fell apart after HOEgan went down, then when he returned it was too late and the ratings continued to fall.
