10 Most Ridiculous Hulk Hogan Matches Ever

2. The Finger Poke Of Doom

January 4, 1999 was one of the moments that ensured WCW’s doom. Goldberg had lost his insanely popular streak eight days before due to a cattle prod. He was out for revenge and had a rematch against new champion Kevin Nash on Nitro. He ran into some problems with the law, though, and the returning Hogan took his place.

The fans were excited to see what was going to happen. Nash had to pay for what he’d done. The bell then rang, Hogan poked Nash in the chest, and Nash proceeded to then take the bump of his life.

It wasn’t much of a match at all, but it sure helped kill the company dead. The nWo was beyond played out at that point, so another reformation was exhausting. And if Nash didn’t give a damn about the WCW title, then why should anyone else?

Two years and two months later the company folded. Absolutely ridiculous!

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
