Sting DVD?

And yes, the feud between Sting/Hogan was a match built up for a good year before they finally clashed at Starcade '97. It was Sting's first official match since Sept. '96. However, the finish of the match was poorly booked. Hogan nailed the legdrop and from all views, Nick Patrick made a fair 3-count. But Bret Hart came down to ringside and stopped the bell from being rung, and ordered the match to be restarted. Sting then gets Hogan in the Scorpion Deathlock, Hogan taps, Bret calls for the bell and Sting is the new world champ.

FInger poke of doom... must be referring to the infamous "finger poke of death." Hogan had challenged Nash for the WCW title shortly after winning the title from Goldberg at Starcade '98. It looked like Hogan and Nash were really gonna go at it, then Hogan just pokes Nash in the chest, Nash falls down, and Hogan makes the cover for a 1-2-3, making Hogan the WCW champ once again.
