nice larp, finger poke of doom was much more eventful

No wonder Rich Evans wants to kill himself

>much more eventful
yeah, in the sense of completely decimating WCW

hahahahahaha go back edrone

go pretend it's 1998 WCWcuck

Mankind winning the title was basically the first taste of what would end up killing WWE, the shitty underdog winning for no reason other than incel fans felt a connection to him

>share price is quadruple its offering
killing me softly indeed, faggot

wish i was larping, user :/
it was ok tho, WCW came back to the GA Dome that summer with a MegaDeth concert and let some ape named DJ Ran play hip hop during the commercial breaks

and then WWF answered that bell a few months later by coming to GA for the first time by having Rock Rock Bottom Bulldog into dog shit.
My best memory from that event is that I saw my science teacher a few rows ahead of me, and he was dressed as a Mean Street Posse member.

based & petegaspilled

2 million viewers edrone, 2 million viewers

That was probably just his normal attire, user

still more than who japan, simpact, aewho, and rowho combined
cope

I don't watch those, I don't care.

kys then, they're based

based story, how packed was the dome?

>DJ Ran
holy fuck now there is a name I forgot about
what were they thinking.

>ywn be 20 years younger than this very moment.
>wrestling will never feel more real/special than on that day

t.never been to a party in his life
Normies like dj's cuz they keep the energy going

You realize this is completely false, right?

They destroyed Raw in the overrun, look it up

based those were the days you could talk to anyone about pro wrestling. zoomers will never understand

imagine being a wcw fan. you probably called wrestling 'rastlinnn', faggot.

>puts butts in seats

Because Raw had no overrun
That's the only reason why all those people switched back to Nitro, to see the end result of their clusterfuck
And the dumbest thing they did wasn't even the fingerpoke itself. It was not having Goldberg and Luger stand tall after running into the ring where the nWo was celebrating their reunion
All they had to fucking do was NOT have Luger attack Goldberg, but instead help him fend off the nWo to send the crowd home happy and not make the entire segment look as retarded as the fingerpoke initially made it. People loved Luger as a whitebread charisma-less face; he had no business trying to be gangsta in nWo anyway
If they had done that one thing, I guarantee you wrestling fans wouldn't have overreacted and made the fingerpoke seem like some horrible, unforgivable thing
Sure, viewers would've still switched over to Foley regardless, but that was solely because Bischoff is a retard (I refuse to shit on Schiavone for simply doing what his boss told him to do)
