– During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, former WCW and WWE Superstar Konnan discussed the death of WCW and the moments he think did the most damage to the company, such as the infamous Fingerpoke of Doom. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Konnan on the wrestlers being ticked about the Fingerpoke of Doom: “The Fingerpoke of Doom [made me think] ‘What the f**k is this?’ I could not believe that. There were people in the show — I was there, I remember talking to Goldberg about it — I was there and the fans were pi**ed. They were going, ‘What the f**k? This is bullsh*t.’ They were hot and so was I.”

On how bad the Starrcade ’97 finish hurt WCW: “The Sting thing, that was brutal. Remember when they dumped that bucket of blood, and it was supposed to hit Nash and it missed him completely? That actually happened twice.”

Konnan is featured in the docuseries, Who Killed WCW?, which is currently airing on VICE TV.
