Kevin Nash has commented on the long-standing notion that the Finger Poke of Doom was one of, if not the worst, things WCW has ever done. He questioned whether David Arquette's winning the world title was not worse.

WCW was WWE's biggest competitor—many things led to the promotion's downfall, such as bad booking. In 2000, the higher-ups decided to put the WCW World Championship on David Arquette, an actor. The previous year, Hulk Hogan won the title via pinfall after lightly poking Big Daddy Cool in the chest.

Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash remembered that Arquette won the WCW Title after seeing an episode of "Who Killed WCW?" He then asked whether that was worse than what he and Hulk Hogan did in 1999.

"It's crazy, but this is how much this s**t matters; absolutely forgot that Arquette was champion. So, is that making David Arquette the champion — that's not worse than the Finger Poke?" questioned Nash.

The WWE Hall of Famer commented on Eric Bischoff, claiming that the people involved were on board with the 52-year-old winning the title.

Konnan claims that The Rock and Kevin Nash had "professional jealousy"

The Great One was one of the biggest stars in WWE during the Monday Night Wars, while Big Daddy Cool was one of the top stars in WCW, especially since he was a member of the NWO.

According to wrestling veteran Connor on Keepin' It 100 OFFICIAL, The Rock, and Kevin Nash had professional jealousy when they were in WWE together.

"I do know this I think there was professional jealousy between [Kevin] Nash and Rock because I remember one time I was watching a WWE show with Nash, and Rock lifted his hands up and you could see he had gyno. He [Kevin Nash] goes the first promo I would cut on him is 'Hey estrogen boy'. I think it was always like Nash was the top guy in WCW, The Rock was the top guy in WWE, and there's a little top guy jealousy," Konnan said.

Even though The Rock has never competed in World Championship Wrestling, he's a two-time WCW World Champion.
