WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recently discussed various topics on an episode of his podcast, Kliq This. One of the highlights of the episode was his reflection on how his WCW World Title reign should have unfolded after he defeated fellow Hall of Famer Goldberg at Starrcade ’98, had the notorious “Fingerpoke of Doom” not occurred.
Nash said, “Man, I would have like to have a run as a babyface. Man, I wasn’t ready when I was f***ing Diesel. I wasn’t ready to be a babyface. Things were still hot then.”
On who his run would have ended with if it had been longer:
“I mean, a lot of guys, Dallas [Page] was up and running then. Scott Steiner, that was kind of during where he started to turn. But the only way to do that would give it back to Bill in a babyface match. Which they should — I mean, I could have just beaten him, and it had been clean. And because we could have had a trilogy, we could have gotten three out of that, beat me in he second one, I could put him over in the third.”
On if he felt ending Goldberg’s streak was the right call:
“I mean, people say whatever they want to. Obviously, I didn’t do it to == we just wanted to get the belt off of Bill.”
