>calling something objectively trash kinoKYS faggot op. Fingerpoke sucked back then, it sucks now, it will continue to suck after this thread.
>>18691892Moreover, people were sick and tired of the NWO story going on and on and on. They wanted the Wolfpac vs NWO once and for all, get it done and move it the fuck along. The fingerpoke showed that it was going to be an NWO circlejerk for the foreseeable future. With the WWF, something was actually happening. It wasn't because "WORKED LEL SMARKS WORKED LEL" type retardation. It's because it was going to be the same old shit with no satisfying conclusion. There was never going to be a payoff for the NWO vs Wolfpac. A direct middle fucking finger to the fans that cared or got invested into watching your tv show. "Fuck you! You'll still watch you fucking mark ass nigga"
Then the rest of 1999 happens, and it's just trash. I'm not even including the russo era, where it's even worse. At least russo could make something fun to poke at. 1999 wcw was worse than wcw 2000. 1999 wwf largely sucked as well.
