Stayed up all night as a little kid, because in germany wrestling was on TV very late.

      The finger poke isn't the total end of WCW. It was 1 mistake among many that took WCW down the wrong path.
      Having the nWo fade away and Hogan return to red & yellow was actually worse.

    What is amazing to me is as you’re going through this era (December - February 1998-1999) this was when I was in San Diego at the yellow hell just outside the airport (MCRD San Diego).
    I was trying to so hard to get info on what was happening and finding out that WCW was just this giant sinking ship was so disappointing.
    I never got to see this era live and only found out about the major things when we were able to get info from home.

    It’s shocking that everybody at WCW saw David Flair wrestle in a tag match at Souled Out and thought:
    “Hell yeah! Let’s book another David Flair match in less than 24 hours… a singles match this time… against a non-wrestler!”
    At least at Souled Out David was in the ring with three great wrestlers that had a combined 65 or so years of experience. Those 65 years of experience could only do so much with a very green David at Souled Out, but at least that experience was in the ring with him. But now he’s wrestling… Bischoff???

    Great episode but I think one of your editors missed that they place the wrong episode number/month and year. We are on eps 169 Jan. 1999 the episode appears as 142 july 98
