In an interview with RF Video, Nash claimed that he had nothing to do with the booking of the incident. When discussing what RF Video refers to as "infamous one finger pin with Hogan", Nash said that Goldberg was the one who caused that rumor to be spread and that he had not begun booking until February 1999. In "The Rise and Fall of WCW", Goldberg said that the incident was Hogan and Nash playing their own little games against the wrestling world. Furthermore, Reynolds and Alvarez contended in "The Death of WCW" that the actions of Hogan and Nash from the time Goldberg beat Hogan in Atlanta until their own match in the same venue six months later, including the match itself, were part of an ongoing plot between the two wrestlers.
