The Rise and Fall of Goldberg 

⚠⏯I have had to edit out a couple of clips from this video after it was uploaded. My apologies for the two jump cuts during the video.

Eddie Guerrero beat Brock at No Way Out 2004 for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

The people watching Goldberg vs. Regal live at that time had no idea what they were witnessing.

Goldberg was basically WCW'S Version of the ultimate warrior. Someone who had the look but not the skill

My favourite wrestling channel bar none.

I never found Goldberg too bad to watch even though he was considered to be limited in the ring

Goldberg was a classic case of overpush on WCW, bad booking in WWE and creative mistakes in both organization.

Lesnar did not eliminate Goldberg from the Royal Rumble, he came in and gave him an F5 then someone else threw him out. Also Lesnar lost the WWE title to Eddie, didn't beat him for it.

Always remember that smarks, fans on the internet went on for 15 years revising history saying “They buried goldberg in his first run” When goldberg won the world title, won every feud except for 1, never lost cleanly. Yet he was “buried”

I was a fan of Goldberg during his WCW era I didn’t like how they ended his streak it’s up there with Undertaker streak being ruined

Even Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan hated the idea of Goldberg losing and wanted him to remain Undefeated.

It's been rumored that Vince wanted Goldberg to partake in an Australian tour sometime before SummerSlam 2003, Goldberg straight up said no, and apparently that was the reason why he ended up losing that Elimination Chamber match in such a lousy fashion.. it was the company's way of punishing him for not wanting to go on an overseas tour under the boss's wishes.

Eddie beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE title at No Way Out 2004, Kevin Nash in 1998 shreddered Goldberg's momentium (Nash played Super Shredder in TMNT 2 Secret of the Ooze)

I remember back in the 90s my best friend had a WCW PS1 game we played a lot. We made it a rule that none would be allowed to pick Goldberg. They made him super overpowered with all maxed out stats etc... WCW really went allin with selling him as an absolute monster in every product they had 😅

Amazing as always

I liked Goldberg as a kid but they really damaged him with that lost to Kevin Nash. They should have just let DDP beat him in their match. That Jackhammer reversal into a Diamond Cutter was epic! And would have made a nice way to end the streak. At least better than how we got it.

Thank you for this Video !

By 2000 goldbergs aura was well and truely over. 1998 was his peak! But after his terrible world title run writing was on the wall

I became pro-wrestling fan in 2002, when I was 13 years old. I remember seen Goldberg in 2003. Early 2004 Goldberg fought Scott Steiner and Test in triple-threat match. Cool video about Goldberg.

Even thought he was limited...He was exactly what WCW needed... Homegrown monster talent.... But as the video showed... He was quite limited in his abilities.... But with the NWO starting to lose steam Goldberg was able to pick up the ball and run with it.... His Hogan World championship match could have been made into the biggest money maker of them all if WCW wasn't looking for a quick fix... In the end Bill did what he could do and that was it

Thank you I waited for this Could you do one on Booker T 🙂

Good review

2003 best Elimination chamber ever !!!

Bought time someone did a video on this topic

Let’s not forget Goldberg‘s ridiculous heel turn inWCW in mid to late, 2000

WCW Bill Goldberg was the best

Goldberg wasn't 100% to blame during the Goldberg/Taker match. Taker made lots of mistakes too.

You won't stop on delivering only GREAT content... Absolute nice work!!!

If you weren’t alive when Da Man came onto the scene, then you’ll never get why fans like me love Goldberg. And it pisses me off that wrestling marks try to reduce his career to the Regal match and the Hart ACCIDENT. Goldberg no more did that on purpose than the man in the moon. He was a phenom who got a hard push extremely early bc his look and move set alone got him over. So Bischoff pushed him and wanted him to be able to perform 4-5 moves extremely well. I’d say the pump handle fall away, the gorilla press slams, spear, and jackhammer more than fit the Bill. I was at Nitro and Raw every time they came to Austin, San Antonio, or Dallas. His pop was louder than Stone Cold’s or The Rock’s in person. I was also fortunate to be in Atlanta when he won the belt vs Hollywood. You couldn’t hear yourself think - and he’d been in the business like 10 months. He’s a legend in my book and always will be. Nothing like him before or since has ever come onto the scene in pro wrestling and never will. He’s a family man, never had drug problems, has always been in shape, and is in better shape at a retired 57 right now than everyone in this comments section. He deserved to head that Hall of Fame 2018 bc he was by far the biggest name of the class.

Another amazing video, thanks for your content I always look forward to watching your uploads 😁

Loved Goldberg , especially in wcw. Legend

Goldberg was WCW through and through - in that promotion he truly was GOLDBERG; the smaller ring with menacing black ropes that perfectly suited his big badass aura played a big part in that .. the gimmick never worked in the sanitized PG WWE

97-98 was Goldberg's high in WCW and seeing his career seem to drop dead instantly thanks to everything the company put him through

Lesnar didn't beat Eddie Guerrero for the world title at "NO WAY OUT" in February 2004. It was actually the other way around. Guerrero beat Lesnar for the title. And Goldberg helped Guerrero do it.

One of the best. May not have been the best technical wrestler ever, but he was powerful and had his own charisma.

Aside from the Undertaker match I was always entertained by Bill Goldberg and seeing him job to Brawn Strowman was Goldberg giving back in my opinion. Brawn should be Da Man as Bobby the Brain would say in wrestling today.

There's no facts or evidence of Goldberg ending Bret Hart's career, Goldberg used that kick on everyone and Hart was the only one to cry about it and Bret wrestled for about 6 months after that match. Nash buried Goldberg in WCW and HHH buried Goldberg in WWE. Say what you want but nobody in wrestling history got more famous faster than Goldberg and there's a lot of people jealous and resentful of that.

Goldberg was the right guy, in the right place, at the right time. I thought Nash's booking was great. Someone had to beat Goldberg. Nash beating Goldberg with Scott Hall's help was a believable but surprising outcome. At least Nash didn't make Goldberg wear a green robe and wizard's hat, that would have been some bad booking.

Just imagine him debuting in WWF instead of WCW

I"M 100% SURE that Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE championship, not the other way around.

The WWF had fazed out the cartoon stuff by late 96 and definitely by late 97 when Goldberg debuted. You have a few errors in this video sir but other comments have pointed them out

It's a crime we got goldberg vs taker and not taker vs sting.

Thanks Stunned by Wrestling

Hollywood Rock Returns

Kevin Nash became a booker in 1999 he beat Goldberg in 1998…. Goldberg was getting a mixed reaction before WWE You didn’t touch on his heel turn either The dream match was booed out of the building because of the fans they got word both men were leaving the company

If you ever seen Goldberg with a knot on his forhead, it's because he would smash his head against a locker to get himself hyped up. Crazy stuff.

WCW Goldberg was Da Man!

Very similar to Umaga

"It's better to leave the memories alone". Yeah sometimes it is

Who's idea was it for Goldberg to wrestle Undertaker in 2019? Goldberg was 53 at this point! Goldberg wasn't good when he was 33! I have to see this train wreck now!

Was always a big Goldberg fan.. and that's never changed. Watching his first run culminating to that Hogan Title match every week was exciting. The last good match of that title run was vs DDP at Halloween Havoc '98. And then after the horrendous Ultimate Warrior return, Hogan wanted the belt back..

The only decent match he had was with Regal, just a bald ultimate warrior

He was awesome james

for the longest time i thought that goldberg and stone cold the same guy

Not really a fall as much as the end of a long successful career.

GREAT VIDEO

I don't thing Goldberg had a down fall. Passing the torch yes down fall no

Goldberg changed the meaning of wrestling n he the crowd loved him dearly .long live Goldberg

Regal wouldve clean the Floor with him tbh 😂

This breaks my heart on how Goldberg was booked in WWE if only Vince McMahon had to brain to book Goldberg right maybe Goldberg's early years in the WWE would've been spectacular he would've feuded with John Cena Undertaker Batista Edge and if he had started in WWF he would have feuded with Stone Cold Steve Austin but it's s damn shame how Vince ruined his life

Just two things from an otherwise fantastic video, 1. As you said yourself Kevin Nash took over booking in 1999 but Goldberg/Nash was in late 1998 so Nash hadn’t taken over and didn’t book himself to beat Goldberg, it’s also well known Goldberg was getting booed and receiving “Goldberg sucks” chants prior to Goldberg/Nash. 2. The kick Bret Hart got from Goldberg didn’t end Bret’s career as he wrestled Terry Funk in a hardcore match and Kevin Nash for the title a month after the Goldberg/Hart match and didn’t retire until almost a year later in late 2000.

William Regal was a highly regarded technical wrestler? What do you mean by technical wrestler?

Say what you want, I loved Goldberg

The character worked really well and there is no doubt he was over but he was an awful weestler. He had about 3 moves in total. That said, for a man with 3-4 moves he did really well for himself.

Roman Reigns is this generation's Goldberg. Both overrated with limited in ring skills. But the only difference is, WWE is using Roman's family to keep him at the top.

WCW pushed him too early he ended Bret Harts career I’ll never forgive him for that

WWE missed him the first time.

There was a fall?

Fastlane 2017 Main Event was my worst wrestling memory ever.

Goldberg vs Evolution vs Kane? Are you shitting me?

I swear I thought these dudes rehearsed their matches before having a real match. I'm shocked to learn that they dont

I was never a fan of Goldberg with his limited move set and tendency to injure other wrestlers like he did to Bret Hart.

Goldberg was Goldberg, he fitted the character excellently. No one says, he was the best, no one says he was good. But the guy did what he had to do and made a name for himself.

An awesome nostalgic wrestling channel. Take it from me. Don't forget to hit like and subscribe

Most arrogant wrestler ever didn't cared about other wrestlers might get career threatening injury.. destroyed bret Hart's career.. Hates to loose...

Goldberg was awesome!

Like bobby heenan said about it.. when you beat Goldberg you killed the golden goose and why would you do that especially in the terrible way they did it then the follow up with the finger poke of doom. Them two things there really caused the downslide for WCW creatively and it just got worse and worse for the next 2 years they was in business

Gooldtuurd...

I’m just going predicting this assessment: he lacked experience having anything other than a smash match, Steve Williams showed him up, then he broke his hand by punching a car, and then he went to WWE, hated it, retired, then came back and beat younger more preferred individuals for the heavyweight title

I’m sorry but he was the WCW guy who could believably take out Scott Hall, Lex Luger and Kevin Nash in a ring. You’re not even acknowledging how powerful Goldberg was.

Nothing wrong with a wrestler coming back to be the heel.

I thought eddie guerrero beat lesnar for the wwe championship at no way out 2004 due to Goldberg interference

Goldberg was cool the first couple times. WCW had the best roster of legends around. Goldberg went through the top guys like they were nothing. Not cool from management. Walked right over Henning and I was like this is bs.

Pretty sure Kurt Angle threw out Goldberg out of the Rumble, and Eddie beat Brock at No Way Out

Him injuring Brett Hart was the beginning of the end for him he was seen as a unsafe worker

Goldberg vs undertaker should had been done his first run in wwe not 16 years 😒

I like Goldberg in wcw but wwfs gillberg was way butter lol

What fall? When was he not on top. Just because he had a few bad matches doesn’t mean he “fell”. But that’s my opinion

Is this a joke list or something Goldberg was not booked improperly nor was he booked poorly. He was given all the chances while his momentum was somehow halted by triple h but he still had a very good run and people liked his approach The only issue was he was not really happy because he was not a team player and he was called out for this in the locker room in the locker room didn't like him. The main issue was that during that time while he was unhappy Brock was also unhappy and this resulted both of them not renewing their contract despite WWE giving them a lot of money The problem was a lot of travel and a lot of shows burned them out. The only reason Goldberg failed was because he didn't like to be in the company he used to bad mouth and hate WWE for a long time. After his ego was stopped he finally relented and had one last run in the WWE The problem with Goldberg was that he was unable to have long matches and was not really good in the ring beyond his few moves that has been called out by numerous wrestlers he has been known to be called Greenberg by Jericho by William regal and a lot of others. Goldberg was not an expert in the ring he used to beat up a lot of people known for his stiff moves also making most idiotic mistakes he injured his hand that sidelined him for almost 4 months due to injury , he also entered the career of Bret Hart and made sure that Undertaker face a very horrible injury that could have resulted in his death in KSA .

Goldberg was an animal in WCW

*Bret Hart breathes heavily*

Golsberg never fell

Even as a small child I thought he was ahead of bum but it didn’t save my sisters from getting jackknifed or speared.

Yo

Goldbergs elimination chamber is easily the best ever ❤️

Goldberg still has one more match left in him. Just wait and see

Bro never EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVERRRRRRR Wrestled a match in his life !

🎉

GILLBERG GILLBERG!!!

Turdberg Turdberg!!
