Roman Reigns posted:WCW Kid up until the Finger Poke of Doom. Then my Dad and I were basically like "gently caress this company" and watched WWF/E. Exact same for me, other than the watching with dad part. Watched both during monday night wars, but finger poke of doom/foley's title win was the day I switched. Based on the ratings, there has to be 400,000 to 1 million people with a similar story.

triplexpac posted:Did the Fingerpoke really turn off that many loyal WCW viewers? Like, they immediately just gave up on the show after that? The ratings don't reflect an instant change, but over the next six weeks, WWF starts pulling away. I may over-rate it because at my high school, there were about nine or ten of us who watched wrestling, and our hatred of that angle was unanimous. triplexpac posted:The alternative was a Kevin Nash vs Hogan match, that would have gotten them to stick around?? The alternative was to make the Goldberg loss mean something. If the finger poke set up an interesting angle, you could almost forgive it. Instead, Hogan lost the belt to Flair in an attrocious double turn. It was the height of lolwcw
