Hulk Hogan has said the “Finger Poke of Doom” was the “beginning of the end of WCW,” and no one really disagreed with him… or did they? Find out what Eric Bischoff thinks of this angle with the benefit of nearly 20 years hindsight. We address the rumor that Goldberg shot down the first idea for his angle with Liz and how Eric thinks Goldberg and Liz did in their acting roles that night.
Plus Conrad presses Eric to defend the silliness of a “Hogan running for President” angle, clarification on Kevin Nash’s role behind the scenes, why Eric put him in that position, when the plan was in place to hand Hogan the title, who got Goldberg a 1000% raise from WCW, an incredible story you’ve probably never heard before about a huge mainstream deal Turner turned down, and a tidbit about a word you couldn’t say on WCW TV that you just will not believe! Of all the things on this episode to discuss, only one decision made that night really mattered and it led to 600,000 folks changing the channel. Conrad breaks down “butts in the seats” in detail and makes Eric has to own it. Oh and Eric buries two legends in the business to the point it leaves Conrad speechless. Eric is fired up and ready to breakdown the FINGER POKE OF DOOM!

Can you believe 2 hrs of finger poking bullshit,and eric says he put alot of thought into this,lol,best match he put together,lmfao #HITMAN#1
As I'm listen to this i look up and its Bill Goldberg on tv. Playing a bodyguard In some movie called American Satan.
Come on Eric, Bill wasn't a good promo.
Not for nothing, but Eric never said WCW losing 15 mil as per Alvarez was incorrect. He only said that he doesn't think the books authors talked to anyone inside WCW operations which isn't really something you can prove anyway. If that number is wrong he should have said it was and what the real number is. Instead he did a real politician's move.
