I know RD has already inducted the Nash/Hogan "Fingerpoke of Doom" that pretty much started the brutal murdering of the value of the WCW title.
However, I think one glaring omission is the HHH/HBK "fingerpoke of doom" in about 1997 or 1998.
Sgt. Slaughter was the commish, and HHH and HBK were in DX. I think HBK held both the World and European title. Slaughter called both out to the ring and said that HBK had not defended the Euro title in over 30 days (maybe it was 90) and scheduled a match between him and HHH.
JR and Lawler wet themselves, of course.
When the match came, IIRC they locked up, bounced off the ropes a bit, then stopped and looked at each other. HHH poked HBK in the chest. HBK collapsed like he had been shot, and HHH covered him for the win. They then both celebrated together in the ring.
I think when/if RD gets around to this, it would be a good idea to post the original "Fingerpoke of Doom" in the "Classic Crap" section.

Did this happen before or after the Hogan/Nash one? And if this was after, how long after?
It could have been mocking.
Also, as far as the Hogan/Nash one goes, as far as the fans were lead to "believe" Hogan was NwO "Hollywood"/"Black&White"/Heel. Nash was NwO "Wolfpack"/"Red&Black"/Face. And there was a long "fued" leading up to the match.
With the HBK/HHH match, both were DX and not fueding and the match was set up that day.

And yeah, this wasn't Wrestlecrap at all really. Shawn Michaels already had the WWE Championship, so he let Triple H have the European Title. Basically, they did it to stick it to Sgt. Slaughter, and it was really well done. |

What they could've done was had Batista win the Elimination Chamber last year, and have HHH challenge him the next night on Raw. The animosity would've built up until the match ended in a Fingerpoke of Doom, as they were both still in Evolution at the time. This also would've made sense to further Batista's face turn, as the announcers played up how he did his job, but wasn't too happy about having to do it.

HBK vs. HHH was not crap at all. And what little known fact about the fingerpoint of doom was it was the same night as Tony Bologna telling everyone Foley was going to win the title. Being the smark that I was and knew that I stayed and watched WCW while flipping to WWE just to see Foley with the title.
After the fingerpoint I loved it!! I was thinking if I was in the crowd I would be pissed but oh well half of them didn't pay to see the show. Why did I love it?? Because it looked like they were going to make the nWo elite again. But, by this time nobody cared about just one nWo because there was 49443210953 versions before it.
nWo the band is back together!!!
What can I say when they said, "when your nWo, your nWo 4 life!" I took it serious!

The DX fingerpoke was not crap, it was well done, and just another way DX put one over on the authority
The nWo fingerpoke was just another way for Hogan to kiss his own ass

The DX fingerpoke happened in December of 97 while Foley winning the title happened a year later so it wasn't the same night. |

Anyone else think that Daivari vs. Angle might result in a Fingerpoke v.3 on RAW the other night? I had JUST read this thread before RAW, and was begging for it.

I thought the DX one was well done (even though I hate the Kliq). They stuck it to Slaughter in a DX kinda way, and it kicked off an awesome feud of Triple H and Owen Hart for the European title. I remember Slaughter got them back when DX had Goldust dress up as Hunter and lose a match the Own Hart. Slaughter declared Owen was still the new European champion. So Triple H lost the title to Owen without actually having to lose to him. Then just beat him for the belt anyway. God I hate the Kliq.
