The Quarantine Files (Randomone Watches Stuff)

May 2
El Merenguero & Papi Chulo vs The Hardy Boyz
Damascus & Brother Nero time traveled and are here on Astros! Chulo misses a dive & lands on his feet as Matt tries a dive and gets caught by the heels, so Jeff hits a somersault plancha wiping everyone out. Hardys in control back inside with double team offense as Matt takes the fight to Merenguero, hitting a moonsault for 2. Side suplex into a Jeff slingshot moonsault gets another near fall as he tries a monkey flip in the corner, but Chulo pulls him down throat first on the top. Heels take over with double boot & dropkick to the floor as Chulo clears the post & hits a somersault plancha. Back inside, Merenguero posts his shoulder missing a splash as Matt tags in and is a house of fire on Chulo. Hardys send the heels into each other, but Merenguero pops up Chulo, who dropkicks Jeff to the floor. Matt tries a leapfrog out of the corner on Chulo, who sends him face first down, hits his Shooting Star to the back & covers Matt for the 3.

Funaki (w/Taka) vs Pantera
Back elbow by Funaki starts us off as he hits sliding elbows, but wildly misses a splash. Pantera tries a victory roll, but Funaki slams him into an Electric Chair, only to get crotched when he went up in the corner. Pantera nails a huge super rana for 2, then fireman carry slams Funaki, goes up top for a moonsault & gets clocked by Taka, allowing Funaki to hit a Michinoku Driver for the win! Funaki hits Taka’s finisher!

May 9
Pantera vs Scott Taylor
First time seeing Scotty since the debut episode as he hits an early back elbow & jaw jacks with the crowd. Pump handle suplex & a moonwalk follow as Pantera fights back with a wheel kick & clothesline to the floor. Taylor bails on a dive, but doesn’t create enough distance as Pantera does a suicide dive through the corner & wipes Taylor out at the break. Back & Scotty is in control with a snap suplex for 2. He lowers his head & Pantera rolls him up for a close 2, goes to the top & nails a cross body for another near fall. Scotty destroys Pantera with a lariat, then tries a powerbomb, but Pantera rolls through into a sunset flip for the 3!

El Torito & Max Mini vs Battalion & Mini Nova
Monkey flip by Torito on the big Battalion sends him outside as here comes Max & Nova who go a mile a minute with their arm drags & wild takedowns. Dropkick sends Nova outside & Max nails a dive through the bottom rope & hits him good. Torito does the same to Battalion as we go to commercial. Nova & Torito are in the ring when we return & Torito misses a senton, but Nova misses a splash. Nova avoids a dive, so Max just leaps off the top wiping out Battalion & gets a head scissors and arm drag. Dropkick sends Battalion outside & Max goes up to, spinning cross body!! Torito locks Nova in a submission inside, but Battalion breaks it up and it’s back to him & Max. Battalion tries a moonsault, but crashes & Max nails a leaping victory roll off the top for the 3 count! This match fucking ruled!

Funaki & Taka Michinoku vs Jose Estrada & Miguel Perez vs El Merenguero & Papi Chulo
Triple threat tag is unique for this time as Chulo gets picked apart by multiple guys before Merenguero attacks Estrada as he, Chulo & Kaientai take turns beating him down. It really seems like that’s the story of this match, two teams against one as Kaientai keeps wearing down Estrada and don’t even go to their own corners, just make tags to Chulo or Merenguero and stay next to them in that corner. Merenguero misses a shoulder & posts himself as Perez gets the hot tag, but Merenguero TAGS ESTRADA, so Perez & Estrada, TAG TEAM PARTNERS, lock up, which, why?? Anyways, they finally let go & Perez tags Chulo, who beats Perez’s partner down. Estrada tags Taka and finally the heel teams have to wrestle. Chulo & Taka shake hands as Chulo turns his back, Taka spins him around, boots him & hits a Michinoku Driver for the 3 as Perez & Estrada just stood there and Funaki wiped out Merenguero. THIS. MATCH. SUCKED!

May 16
Super Loco vs Scoot Andrews
Loco with a spinning toe hold & ankle pick early as Scott has to get a rope break. They trade full nelsons, but Loco gets a keylock takedown & chops to the corner. Loco misses a corner splash & gets chopped a bunch by Scoot, who dropkicks Loco to the floor. Running start & Scoot barely is able to hit a somersault plancha as Loco takes over & hits a moonsault off the second outside. Back inside Loco hits a sitout powerbomb for 2 as Scoot tries fighting back with a guillotine leg & misses badly. Revolution moonsaults for Loco follow as he gets the 1…2…3.

Miguel Perez vs Apollo Dantes
Fast start by both as Dantes puts the brakes on a leap frog & hits a powerbomb. 10 corner punches as the referee scolds Dantes for reasons I have no idea, so he just slams Perez down, goes up top & hits a missile dropkick. He drives Perez into the steps before going back inside where it’s all Dantes. Finally Perez gets something going with a big back body drop & lariats as he dropkicks Dantes to the floor & nails a twisting cross body. Back inside Dantes takes the ref as Super Loco shows up & plants Perez with a DDT on the floor. He slides him back in just so Dantes can pick up the scraps for the win.

Papi Chulo vs Taka Michinoku
They trade arm drags & head scissors as Chulo is back dropped to the floor in impressive fashion (doing a handstand on the ropes almost as Taka shoves him to the floor) as Taka hits an Asaii Moonsault. Back inside, running double stomps by Taka, as he hits a spin wheel kick for 2 and we see Apollo Dantes walk to ringside to apparently cheer on Chulo, who is back in control with a flashy arm drag. Tope con hilo by Chulo as we go to break & return to Chulo eating a Tornado DDT from Taka. He signals the end, but Chulo floats through a Driver, tries a rana, but Taka powerbombs out of it. Taka gets cut off in the ropes, shoves Chulo down, who fakes a leg injury long enough for Dantes to hit a low blow. Taka falls to the mat as Chulo covers him for 3.

May 23
Super Loco vs Miguel Perez
How do you get revenge on a guy who cost you a match last week, by applying an arm bar in the opening seconds, of course. That’s what Perez does as he tosses Loco to the corner, hits a clothesline & snap suplex for 2. He charges, but eats a Loco elbow & Tornado DDT. Dropkick to the floor as Loco nails his Asaii Moonsault, wiping out Perez, tossing him back in. Loco boots Perez to the mat & nails a diving shoulder to the midsection in the corner as Perez fights back & sends Loco outside, only for Loco to sucker him back in the ring. Powerbomb out of the corner by Perez as Loco tumbles outside, allowing Perez to nail his twisting plancha. Both men collide back inside & Loco hits a wheel kick, then goes for his revolution moonsaults, but only got 1 of them before Perez gets a victory roll for 3.

El Merenguero vs Jose Estrada
So Merenguero is carrying a metal noise maker to the ring now (the thing you use a stick to rub up & down to make noise, whatever you call that) as he gets attacked by his former Boricua partner with a back body drop outside. Perez lifts Merenguero up for a powerbomb, but drops him face first into the buckle for a 2 count. Merenguero gets a knee in the corner & tries a Tornado DDT, but Estrada holds on & hits a rana off the top for another 2. Estrada throws punches in the corner & gets pulled away by the ref allowing Merenguero to grab that noise maker & crack Estrada in the face for the 3 count.

Apollo Dantes & Papi Chulo vs Funaki & Taka Michinoku
Chulo hangs onto a headlock for dear life before floating over & hitting a spin kick, chopping Funaki to the corner. Just like that, both Taka & Dantes tag in and Dantes misses a flying knee and eats a Tornado DDT (all three matches tonight have had that spot) as Kaientai clotheslines Dantes outside & Taka backdrops Funaki to the floor, wiping Apollo out. Chulo hits a wheel kick off the top on Taka, but Taka floats over a powerbomb into a face buster. All 4 men brawl outside before Chulo nails a twisting Asaii Moonsault to take us to commercial. Back from break & the heels have Taka isolated as Dantes pops up Chulo into a super rana out of the corner for 2. Taka rolls & tags in Funaki, who gets slammed immediately as Chulo misses a 450 badly. Dantes tags in, but gets leveled and Kaientai double dropkicks him outside. Taka misses a dive as Funaki hits a bulldog on Chulo (who isn’t the legal man, but the ref legs it go). Chulo & Dantes hit a wheelbarrow/facebuster combo as Chulo pins Funaki for the win.

May 30
Funaki, Taka Michinoku & Tiger Mask vs Apollo Dantes, Papi Chulo & Super Loco
All the heels collide in the middle of the ring to start as Funaki hits a slingshot dive, Tiger Mask does a cross body out of the corner to the floor & Taka hits a springboard rana off the top. He charges for another, but Loco hits a pop up powerbomb & follow up tope con hilo! Funaki & Dantes in as Apollo takes over with a tilt a whirl back breaker as we go to break. This is the show after Owen Hart’s death, so they have Maria Felipe (the backstage interviewer on Astros) say some words about Owen. We come back from break and it’s dive after dive with Chulo hitting a wild one as Tiger hits a Pele Kick on Loco inside, hitting a cross body off the top for 2. Loco knocks Tiger down & does his revolution moonsaults, but Taka knocks him down before the third one, tagging Tiger & nails a missile dropkick & Michinoku Driver for 3.

Max Mini vs Mini Nova
Before the main event Max Mini & Victor Quinones say words about Owen as we go to the match. Max hits a tilt a whirl head scissors, dropkicking Nova outside, who tries to avoid a baseball slide, but Max puts on the brakes and nails a rana off the apron. Back inside Nova turns Max inside out with a lariat, backdrops him over the top (that’s right) to the apron, but Max fights back with a diving arm drag off the top, then a quebrada for 2. Nova rolls outside & it proves a bad move as Max hits a springing cross body off the second. Both men land hard and just reset in the ring as Max tries a head scissors, but ultimately turns it into a victory roll for the 3 count.

July 11
I dug what they did on this episode, as they covered the feud between Miguel Perez, El Merenguero & Savio Vega’s involvement. It’s the main feud of this program & really has been for some time, so it’s cool to see them put a lot of time into this, especially since next week we’ll get Merenguero vs Perez once again.

Armando Fernandez vs El Bandido
This was a re-air of their match on the March 28 episode that Armando won with his spinning Angels Wings. Ironically, this replay was the last we’d see of either man on this show, which I don’t know if injuries played into it, maybe they just got released, not sure. Fernandez seemed like he was going to be a main star of this show when the series started, but he just fell into the background as the Merenguero/Perez feud took shape.

July 18
El Torito & Batallion vs Mini Nova & Max Mini
I must’ve missed the part where Nova was unmasked as I don’t recall it happening on this program. Anyways, Torito simply stands in the middle of the ring & gores Max to the floor with his head as the rudos take over on Nova. Superkick by Torito, but tries once too many & wipes out his partner. Max charges in, but accidentally takes out Nova as well. So we’re back to Torito & Max as the big man spins Max around by his ears! Head stand in the corner by Max, who hits a head scissors & springing spinning head scissors before hitting his running rana outside. Tag to Nova (a tag, imagine that) as he wipes out Battalion with a wild wheel barrow arm drag that sends Battalion outside, so Max hits a springboard cross body off the second! Nova hits the ropes & wipes out Torito with a tope suicida through the bottom rope, but Battalion recovers & beats down Nova inside. TORITO MURDERS POOR MAX FACE FIRST ON THE RING STEPS in brutal fashion as they signal for the end, but Nova hits a diving victory roll off the top on Battalion and Max gets La Magistral on Torito for dueling pins!

El Merenguero vs Miguel Perez
Before the main event, we see Savio Vega found by smokeshow interviewer Maria laid out as he was supposed to be the guest referee for this match. After the commercial Savio has recovered slightly, but has an ice pack on his head as Perez checks on him. We go to the ring after break & boots in the corner for Perez as he clocks Merenguero with a lariat as he launches his opponent to the floor. To the steps goes Merenguero as Perez actually gets the crowd into it, so he smacks Merenguero into the steps yet again. Standing moonsault in the ring gets a 2 count as Perez hits a side Russian leg sweep as Merenguero clutches his leg, saying he’s hurt, only to sucker Perez in with a lariat, his first offensive move of this match. We get a ref bump as Merenguero grabs his noise maker to use a weapon, but Savio Vega hits the ring, grabs the weapon away & SMACKS MERENGUERO as Perez makes the cover for the 3 count! Perez gets his win back from last month.

July 25
Max Mini vs El Torito
Max charges in the corner to start, but eats a big boot as Max steps back and taunts Torito with a bull fighting stance. He sends Torito to the floor, climbs up top & nails his twisting corkscrew cross body as the crowd is fully behind Max. Back inside, Torito presses Max high over his head & chucks him to the corner, nailing a headbutt to the outside. Press slam into the ring steps destroys Max like last week as he tries it again, only for Max to drive Torito into it. Pretty cool round the world arm drag sends Torito back outside & Max hits an Asaii Moonsault from the second rope! Like always, Torito recovers first & slams Max down inside, goes to the second, only to get cut off. Torito tries a super powerbomb, but Max spins out into an avalanche arm drag, quickly goes up top, frog splash & La Magistral for the 3 count. Crowd popped huge for the finish.

Papi Chulo vs Pantera
Chulo knocks Pantera down, then does a standing moonsault, but takes a back bump off it to drop an elbow drop. That seemed innovative, but looked stupid. Anyways, Pantera fights back with a super rana off the top for 2, then nails his murder somersault senton plancha to a downed (on his belly) Chulo, which is terrifying. Back inside, Chulo does some more unnecessary flips & just pops Pantera with a superkick. Vicious corner chops as Chulo does a flip onto the apron, but poses for some reason, so Pantera hits a massive head scissors off the top sending both tumbling hard outside. Dive through the corner of the post by Pantera as he tries a rana back inside, but Chulo uses the ropes as a slingshot to hit a powerbomb. Shooting Star Press connects and Chulo gets the 3 count.

Miguel Perez vs Apollo Dantes
We go literally 5 seconds before going to commercial as we return to Dantes choking away in the ropes, misses a clothesline & diving cross body by Perez gets 2. Quick lariat by Apollo as he slams Perez down, goes up, dives & eats a boot to the face. Perez fights back with a back body drop, then some rights as he levels Dantes with a corner clothesline, then another one. El Merenguero makes his presence felt as he hands Dantes his noise maker, but Perez takes the ref & Savio Vega hits the ring, grabs the weapon, smacking Dantes as Perez quickly makes the cover for the win. Savio continues to be a thorn in the side of El Merenguero.

August 1
Papi Chulo & El Merenguero vs Miguel Perez & Jose Estrada
Perez & Estrada attack at the bell, as we start with Chulo & Perez, who catches Chulo kicks and flips him twice, but both times, Papi lands on his feet. Head scissors by Chulo and a hurricanrana for 2. Tag to their partners, Merenguero flips out of a hip toss, but Estrada lariats him down and they tumble to the floor with a hurricanrana. Perez nails a slingshot cross body & they send Merenguero into the steps as we get back inside & Perez takes the fight to Merenguero while we go to break. Back & Perez still in control, but Chulo clips him & Merenguero nails a spin kick. They take turns beat Perez down as Chulo nails a flying Bronco Buster, but Merenguero & Perez knock heads and we have a double down. Tag to Estrada & Chulo, who for some reason goes to the top & flips, landing on his feet, so Estrada just potatoes him with a right. High back body drop & then a right hand to a groggy Merenguero, who he gorilla press slams. Perez dropkicks him to the floor as Estrada looks for a monkey flip, but Merenguero clocks him with the noise maker & Chulo covers him for the win.

Apollo Dantes vs Pantera
Fast start by Pantera, who hits a hip toss & wheel kick, clotheslining Dantes outside & hits a Tope Con Hilo through the ropes, landing on his head in the process. Back inside, Pantera tries a cross body, but caught & slammed. Dantes knocks Pantera to the floor & connects with a Tope Suicida & tosses him back in, flattening him with a powerbomb for 1. He goes to the top & crashes off a missed splash, so Pantera gets La Magistral for the 3 count. Not the best match, but it was ok.

August 8
Jose Estrada vs El Merenguero
Savio Vega is on commentary for this one as Estrada goes after Merenguero outside & tosses him inside, but eats a back elbow. Merenguero charges & Estrada nails a powerslam for 2. Running neckbreaker by Merenguero, who puts the boots to his former Los Boricuas running mate, chucking him outside. He’s not a high flyer, so he just drives Estrada into the steps & back to the ring. Papi Chulo walks to the ring, rubbing his chest creepily & does a spin move pose to a fan ringside, which is hilarious. Merenguero just picking apart Estrada as Chulo continues to pose, until Miguel Perez walks to the ring. Finally Estrada mounts his comeback after a while with a back drop & boots in the corner as Merenguero begs off. Big gorilla press slam, but Estrada posts himself as Chulo is about to hit him with the noise maker, but Perez stops him and they brawl in the ring. All 4 men are brawling until Savio Vega jumps off commentary to slam Chulo down. Merenguero gets in his face & walks away with Chulo as Savio is wondering what is wrong with Merenguero & Chulo, which, do you watch the show Savio? They’re the villains, bad guys, rudos, you know this, get it together, Kwang.

Apollo Dantes & Papi Chulo vs Pantera & Sean Casey
We’ve never seen Sean Casey before, but here he is, late in the series. Pantera flips Chulo, who lands on his feet & clocks him with a wheel kick and powerslam as Chulo poses too long & gets crotched in the corner. Pantera hits a top rope super hurricanrana as Chulo tags Dantes, who goes right after Pantera. Casey tags in & drops a double axe as we go to break & when we return, everyone is laid out due to dives by the babyfaces. We never see them, despite this being a taped show, which, whatever. Pantera & Dantes are the legal men as Apollo backdrops & powerbombs Pantera, dropping an elbow for 1. Pantera hates selling for more than 1 count for Dantes I’ve learned. Pantera dropkicks Dantes down & tags in Casey, who gets a few shots in, but misses a corner splash & gets slammed down. Dantes goes up top, connects with a splash for 1, as Pantera breaks it up, only to get backdropped outside. Tope Suicida by Dantes, as Chulo hops in & murders poor Casey with a powerbomb & Shooting Star Press for the 3.

Only 3 episodes left in the series!

The Streak

Ok, so I found a pretty solid list of guys that were involved in Goldberg's famous streak in WCW and decided to watch them all. And by all, I mean all of them that are available online. There's quite a few House Show matches on the list that I found (45 to be exact) against guys like Bobby Eaton, Brad Armstrong, Mongo, Yuji Nagata, Buddy Lee Parker, Jerry Flynn, Finlay, Saturn, Konnan, Sting, Curt Hennig, Giant, Scott Hall & Bam Bam. Some of those guys (like Saturn and Giant) he fought 9 & 10 times respectively, so unless anyone can track those down, those matches won't be included on the list. This will be TV/PPVs only, unless I can find some dark matches (which I have). The official count was 172-0, but that was exaggerated, so you're getting MOST of the matches. I will warn you, some of this wasn't pretty. Goldberg was sloppy as shit at times, but when he was straight up murdering dudes, there was no one like him.

Bill Goldberg vs Hugh Morrus - Nitro
September 22, 1997
Here we are, match 1. They trade counters working each other’s arm as Goldberg gets a leg lock, but Morrus with a rope break. Diving corner clothesline by Morrus, who goes up top & hits No Laughing Matter 1…2…KICK OUT! He can’t believe it as he hits a back elbow & Goldberg back flips before hitting a powerslam, then a bodyslam, finally putting away Morrus with a Jackhammer for the 3 in his debut.

Bill Goldberg vs Barbarian - Nitro
September 29, 1997
Shoulder blocks have no effect as Barb tries for a powerslam, but Goldberg wiggles free & does a weird takedown and corner clothesline for 2. Goldberg seems to have lost his place briefly so he just dropkicks Barb outside & goes out to get him. Goldberg goes up top & Barb cuts him off with a belly to belly for 2 (as we see this in picture in picture with commentary reviewing Goldberg’s debut). Barb is lighting up Goldberg with corner shots & a snap powerslam for 2. Goldberg back drops out of a powerbomb, hits a knee drop, then a Jackhammer for the 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Roadblock - Saturday Night
October 11, 1997
Goldberg no sells a clothesline as he gets a school boy, but apparently it’s a leg hold & it’s just awkward looking. Rope break as Roadblock gets a cheap shot, misses a clothesline & Goldberg hits a shoulder block. Goldberg bounces out of the corner & Roadblock hits a huge belly to belly for 2. Goldberg hits the ropes & does a spinning heel kick “showing us the Oriental Arts” says Dusty as he hits the Jackhammer on the 400 pounder for the win. Early Goldberg career, sadly not a lot of people gave a shit, but that Jackhammer was impressive as hell.

Bill Goldberg vs Scotty Riggs - Nitro
October 13, 1997
Riggs gets launched by Goldberg early, but he fights back with boots, only for Goldberg to hit a SPEAR. This wasn’t his set up for his finish yet, so he keeps throwing rights to a downed Riggs. The American Male hits a dropkick sending Goldberg over the top & he tries a slingshot cross body, but gets caught & slammed onto the railing. Back inside, Goldberg hits a Jackhammer for the win.

Bill Goldberg vs Wrath - Nitro
October 20, 1997
Wrath doesn’t even get his jacket & helmet off before Goldberg hits a SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. I wonder if this even was Wrath, we never saw his face! Throw Jerry Flynn in there or Rick Fuller.

Bill Goldberg vs Mike Anthony - Saturday Night
October 25, 1997
Anthony gets a few shots to the ribs, but Goldberg does his leg lock. Rope break as Goldberg allows Anthony to hit a few dropkicks before dropping him with a SPEAR. Anthony actually fights back with a spin kick, but Goldberg presses him to the fucking moon before hitting a gut buster. Jackhammer, 3 count, that ends it. Anthony got so much more offense than I expected.

Bill Goldberg vs Disco Inferno – WCW Television Title - Nitro
October 27, 1997
So this wasn’t an actual match, but it was included in the list I found, so, whatever. Alex Wright shoves Goldberg from behind while making his entrance, so he backhands Das Wunderkind, tosses him in the ring, SPEAR, Jackhammer & kicks him out. Disco is laughing his ass off, but Goldberg knees, SPEAR & Jackhammers him too. The match never began. Mongo hits the ring & Goldberg shoots a double leg and we get a pull apart to end the segment. Rough 2 nights for Disco, who was the TV champ at the time, jobbing to Jacqueline the night before at Halloween Havoc and getting literally squashed by Goldberg here. At least he didn’t lose his title.

Bill Goldberg vs Renegade - Saturday Night
November 1, 1997
Renegade has Marc Mero’s theme song as Goldberg sprints to the ring SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. Record time, even for Goldberg.

Bill Goldberg vs Mark Starr - Nitro
November 9, 1997
Starr tries an arm lock, but gets just slammed down for his efforts as Goldberg hits a dragon screw leg whip & stares down Starr in the corner. Big time powerslam as he chokes Starr in the corner, shoots him to the other side, but eats an elbow & big boot. Starr leaps off the second, gets caught & Goldberg hits a shoulder breaker as he sets it up, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Manny Fernandez - Saturday Night
December 13, 1997
Bell sounds & Goldberg hits a Spear, just not as impressive as it’d become in a few months. Backbreaker by Goldberg, who just ragdolls the big Fernandez & throws some bad looking boots as Fernandez gets 1 punch, which the crowd popped for & Goldberg just beat him down. He massacres him with a short arm lariat, then more boots in the corner as he botches a spinning neckbreaker, then hits the Jackhammer properly for the 3. So even 2 minutes was too long for Goldberg in his first few months. Not good.

Bill Goldberg vs Frankie Lancaster - Saturday Night
December 14, 1997
Goldberg with knees to the gut & axe handles to the back as Lancaster tries to scatter away, but gets starched with a clothesline as a result. He does get a back elbow & right hand, but walks into a side suplex by Goldberg. SPEAR 1…2…Lancaster kicks out!! Goldberg hits the Jackhammer for the 3. First dude I’ve seen kick out of the Spear (I know it’s early Goldberg), so Frankie Lancaster is a Legend!

Bill Goldberg vs Renegade - Saturday Night
December 27, 1997
Let’s see if this goes any longer than their first meeting? Bell sounds, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. To answer my question, nope.

Bill Goldberg vs Steve McMichael - Starrcade 97
December 28, 1997
Starrcade 97 as these two brawl like madmen at the aisle as Goldberg hoists Mongo over his shoulder and carries him to the ring before getting a table. He gives up on it though as Mongo is waiting to beat his ass back inside, which he does. Terrible and I mean TERRIBLE kicks to the ribs by Mongo, who hits a sloppy side suplex for 1. Goldberg hits a flying shoulder for 2, then just tosses Mongo back outside. Mongo fights back, slamming Goldberg into the table before going to the top rope as Goldberg just punches him in the ribs in mid air. The scary bad leg lock appears as Mongo has no idea how to sell it. Goldberg gives it up & just tosses Mongo down like a sack of potatoes. SPEAR for a 1…Goldberg just gives up the pin attempt to go get the table & set it up ringside. Mongo is on the apron & throws shoulders to the gut before he eats a knee, Goldberg smiles & hits 1 punch sending Mongo falling through the table. Goldberg sends Mongo back inside, and MONGO IS UP BEFORE GOLDBERG as he tries for the Mongo Spike piledriver, but drops Goldberg & can’t get him up due to the sore back. Jackhammer kills Mongo for the 1…2…3. My goodness, that match was terrible.

Bill Goldberg vs Glacier - Nitro
December 29, 1997
Chops & kicks by Glacier, but Goldberg clocks him with a clothesline & a modified powerbomb. SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. Mike Tenay says Glacier had only lost twice in his entire WCW career up to this point. Which, I highly question.

Bill Goldberg vs Stevie Ray - Nitro
January 5, 1998
Goldberg is the one who attacks at the bell as Stevie rolls out of a powerslam & hits a back suplex. Flying clothesline by Stevie gets a 2 count, but eats a back elbow out of the corner & a clothesline. Goldberg just steam rolls Stevie with a powerslam and knee drop before slapping on a fucking rest hold, the first time I’ve seen that thus far. Stevie fights back and throws the referee down, allowing Goldberg to hit a SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Steve McMichael - Thunder
January 8, 1998
DIVE THROUGH THE ROPES BY MONGO starts this off as Goldberg quickly fights back & they brawl ringside. We finally get in the ring and Goldberg presses Mongo over his head into a powerslam. Short arm clothesline, then rolling leg lock as Mongo gets the ropes, clips the leg of Goldberg & hits a diving clothesline off the second for a 1 count. 3 point stance clips the leg once, twice, but Goldberg pops up & no sells, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Barry Horowitz - Saturday Night
January 10, 1998
Horowitz has his back turned & patting himself of the back as the bell sounds. He turns around and gets SPEARED, then Jackhammered for the easy victory. You’re better than this Barry!

Bill Goldberg vs Jerry Flynn - Nitro
January 12, 1998
Flynn with a kick & leg takedown, but Goldberg reverses into an arm breaker, as they trade mounting each other with punches. Quick start as Goldberg does his leg lock pretty accurately this week as Flynn gets the ropes. Arm triangle by Flynn as Goldberg powerbombs out of it. Flynn hits a kick, but Goldberg hits the ropes SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Chavo Guerrero Jr. - Thunder
January 15, 1998
Chavo made his entrance, but Disco Inferno (in his snazziest shirt) interrupted, ultimately dropping Chavito with a Chartbuster stunner. Goldberg came out and hit a Spear & Jackhammer on Disco. That was literally it. I have no idea why this match was listed on Goldberg’s streak list.

Bill Goldberg vs Kendall Windham - Thunder
January 22, 1998
Legsweep by Goldberg as he does the somersault leg submission as Goldberg himself lands on his head in the process as Kendall gets the rope break. Kendall levels Goldberg with a clothesline & some rights, but Goldberg no sells, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Mike Tolbert - Saturday Night
January 24, 1998
Tolbert attacks, but Goldberg gets some knees, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. Clearly Bill had to use the bathroom, he was quickly to the back.

Bill Goldberg vs Brad Armstrong - Nitro
January 26, 1998
Brad wears a sweatshirt that says Armstrong Curse as he attacks at the bell, but Goldberg just stares at him. Gorilla Press pops the crowd as he hits a powerslam out of it. Brad rolls to the floor, but Goldberg quickly sends him back inside, choking him high in the air, slamming him down with ease. Brad avoids a corner splash, but Goldberg put the brakes on, turns around, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Yuji Nagata - Thunder
January 29, 1998
Jerry Lee Lewis is sitting in the second row and in front of him, Raven’s Flock, which is hysterical. Leg kicks & forearms by Nagata, who gets a takedown into an arm bar, but Goldberg quickly escapes & just chokes Nagata. Hip toss blocked as Goldberg sinks in a leg lock, as Nagata gets the ropes. Nagata keeps throwing kicks & tries a suplex, but Goldberg turns it into a spinning neckbreaker. SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count & he easily puts away the future IWGP Champion.

Bill Goldberg vs Meng - Saturday Night
January 31, 1998
Meng no sells a clothesline, so Goldberg does, even for him, the sloppiest leg takedown you’ll ever see. Meng pops up & Goldberg hits a spinebuster, but Meng gets the takedown & spills into the ropes. Meng with big boots that drop Goldberg as he gets a Camel Clutch applied for 5 seconds. Literally the next few minutes is just punching each other in the corner, nothing is actually happening. Not sure if Meng is trying to blow Goldberg up, but it seems to be working. Crescent Kick finally clocks Goldberg as we are SEVEN MINUTES into this thing. Goldberg definitely seems gassed as he’s moving super slow, hands on his hips tired. GOLDBERG ALMOST KILLS MENG with a powerslam that drops Meng right on his head and it’s really uncomfortable to watch. Jimmy Hart goes up top & GOLDBERG ALMOST KILLS JIMMY dropping 100 pound Jimmy on his head as well. SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count as this was brutal to watch. He’s so gassed it’s scary. Also, enjoy the picture of Meng & Goldberg sharing pizza like gentlemen.

Bill Goldberg vs Mark Starr - Nitro
February 2, 1998
It’s like Goldberg knows his opponent attacks him through the ropes as Starr does, so Goldberg gets a leg takedown, but Starr reverses into an ankle lock. Goldberg literally punches Starr right in the face. Did you know Goldberg’s spinning neckbreaker is called “His Corkscrew Manuever”? Thanks for that Tony! He never hits it in this match, instead he hits a SPEAR, Jackhammer & gets the 3.

Bill Goldberg vs Jim Powers - Thunder
February 5, 1998
STO right away by Goldberg, then that weird leg lock somersault deal he does as Powers gets to the ropes. He chops away as Goldberg just stares at him, so he hits a knee lift & poses to the crowd. The former Young Stallion turns around SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Disco Inferno - Saturday Night
February 7, 1998
Disco tries hooking a leg outside, but Goldberg brings him in by his neck, then botches a leg submission, so Disco bails to the ropes. Gorilla Press by Goldberg as he turns it into a powerslam. Disco actually gets in some rights & kicks, but Goldberg no sells, so Disco shoots a single leg & takes Goldberg down! He promptly gets booted away, Goldberg pops up, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. Shocked at the offense Disco got.

Bill Goldberg vs Lord Steven Regal - Nitro
February 9, 1998
This is a pretty famous match as Goldberg works the arm as Regal reverses & gets taken down by the leg as Regal grabs the ropes. Goldberg gets a school boy, but Regal again gets the ropes. Judo throw by Regal, but head scissors reversal by Goldberg. Regal escapes & grabs a front face lock, but Goldberg gets an arm takedown. Regal reverses & dishes out some uppercuts and clips the leg of Goldberg, then hits some knees before Goldberg botches “his corkscrew maneuver” neckbreaker as Regal fights back in the corner. Open hand palm strikes by Regal, who charges out of the corner & Goldberg hits a SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. This match has taken on a life of its own and it’s not a “shoot fight” like many might lead you to believe. Regal wrestled Goldberg, he did his job. If he was going to get fired, it might be due to drug issues, not this match, he was fine here.

Bill Goldberg vs Glacier - Thunder
February 12, 1998
Glacier attacks right as Bill gets in the ring, tries a leg sweep & Goldberg back flips out of it, which was cool. He hits a spinning neckbreaker, but Glacier hits just standard clubbing blows that Goldberg no sells. Back kick sends Goldberg into the ropes & he explodes out SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Joey Maggs - Saturday Night
February 14, 1998

Bill Goldberg vs Hugh Morrus - Nitro
February 16, 1998
Morrus hits his spinning corner lariat, but Goldberg no sells as Morrus tries a suplex, but Goldberg lands on his feet, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. Lot quicker than his debut match!

Bill Goldberg vs Fit Finlay - Thunder
February 19, 1998
Finlay attacks with his ring gear before the bell as he throws uppercuts that Goldberg no sells & hits a big boot. Gorilla Press high over his head & hits a gut buster out of it. Arguably the best his rolling leg lock has ever looked as Finlay gets the ropes. Everything Finlay is throwing is no sold by Bill, who literally just hugs Finlay, who eye pokes him. Sleeper by Finlay, which is immediately turned into an overhead throw. Goldberg misses a lariat, but Finlay comes in, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Jerry Flynn - Saturday Night
February 21, 1998
Knees to the belly welly by Goldberg as Flynn bails to the floor. Back inside, Thunderfoot dishes out some kicks & takes Goldberg down, but they scramble on the mat & Flynn locks in a head triangle, only for Goldberg to slam him down. Of course, he tries the leg lock, but transitions into an arm triangle, Flynn to the ropes though. Flynn throws some kicks, but Goldberg presses him over his head into the powerslam, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. It looked insanely sloppy, but Flynn always got in a good amount of offense whenever he wrestled Goldberg.

Bill Goldberg vs Brad Armstrong - SuperBrawl VIII
February 22, 1998
This is Superbrawl 98, which baffles me that this is a PPV match, but here we are. Brad is wearing a shirt that reads "Armstrong Curse" on it. Leg trip out of a full nelson by Goldberg as Brad throws some shots that have zero effect. Leg lock by Goldberg, that again, almost falls on his head in the process, as he presses Brad over his head & hits a powerslam. Overhead belly to belly, but Brad fights back with a Side Russian Legsweep, his finisher, but Goldberg pops up, Pump Handle overhead suplex, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Rick Fuller - Thunder
February 26, 1998
Really crappy leg takedown for Goldberg to start as Fuller gets the ropes. We get another pretty sloppy takedown as Goldberg gets full mount & some rights before Fuller pops up, hits a big boot & Goldberg no sells. He just stands there & hits a SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Sick Boy - Nitro
March 2, 1998
Gorilla press within seconds as Sick Boy tries a springboard off the ropes, but Goldberg just choke slams him down. He botches another springboard badly & just gets punched in the face, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. Sick Boy botched 50% of his moves.

Bill Goldberg vs Vincent - Thunder
March 5, 1998
Hot start from Virgil, who gets 4 clubbing forearms before Goldberg just throws him into the ropes SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. Back to the Olive Garden for poor Virgil.

Bill Goldberg vs Jerry Flynn - Saturday Night
March 7, 1998
Flynn immediately hooks a leg for a takedown, but Goldberg with an arm triangle that Flynn shakes out of & we scramble before Goldberg gets a key lock & a rope break by Flynn. Flynn tries for an arm triangle of his own, but Goldberg powerbombs out of it. Flynn with some kicks that gets no sold, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. Bill ain’t got time for your kicks, Jerry!

Bill Goldberg vs Barry Darsow - Nitro
March 9, 1998
Knees by Goldberg as he hits a shoulder block & gut wrench suplex as he backdrops Darsow down. Drop toe hold into an ankle pick but Darsow rakes the eyes & takes over momentarily, sending Goldberg into the post on the outside, working the arm. Back inside, Darsow keeps working the arm, but Goldberg hits the buckle, wakes up, SPEAR (with the bad arm mind you), Jackhammer, 3 count. Goldberg didn’t’ sell shit during this streak, so I can’t be too surprised with the zero selling.

Bill Goldberg vs Chase Tatum - Saturday Night
March 14, 1998
We get a lock up & Goldberg again does his shitty leg lock that somehow turns into an arm bar, so he gives up doing anything else, shoots Tatum off the ropes, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. That leg lock has GOT TO GO, Bill!

Bill Goldberg vs Lodi - Nitro
March 16, 1998
Lodi holds a sign saying Goldberg Is A Heathen as Goldberg presses him high over his head, slams him down, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. Lodi lasted much longer than I thought and yes, this went like 20 seconds.

Bill Goldberg vs Wayne Bloom - Thunder
March 19, 1998
Full nelson by Bloom, but Goldberg reverses out & hits a slam out of it. Crowd already exploding as he hits some knees & a pump handle slam. Bloom gets in some rights & boots, but he sends Goldberg to the corner, who explodes out with a SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Renegade - Nitro
March 23, 1998
Will the third time be the charm for the former TV Champion? Renegade hits his springboard handspring elbow, but Goldberg fires out of the corner with a SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. To his credit, this was the longest Renegade lasted as it went 30 seconds.

Bill Goldberg vs Johnny Swinger - Saturday Night
March 28, 1998
Bell doesn’t even sound as Goldberg charges & SPEARS Swinger, bell sounds, Jackhammer for the win. Goldberg talks to the camera & you can see a camera guy in the background trying to get the crowd to cheer & go crazy. These were clearly Johnny Swinger fans, let them mourn, geez.

Bill Goldberg vs Ray Traylor - Nitro
March 30, 1998
Long lock up & both dish out shoulder blocks and neither move as Goldberg goes for one & suckers Traylor in with a lariat. Uppercut by Bossman, who works the arm, but Goldberg gets a takedown. BOSSMAN SLAM BY TRAYLOR, but Goldberg no sells and pops up, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. Poor Bossman.

Bill Goldberg vs Van Hammer - Nitro
April 6, 1998
Leg sweep by Goldberg as Hammer tries for a hip toss, but gets slammed down. He charges & gets creamed with a clothesline as the crowd are on their feet. Jawbreaker by Hammer, who hits a sidewalk slam before he poses in the corner, leaps for an axe handle, but SPEAR in mid air! Jackhammer, 3 count and that does it. Pretty impressive Spear in this one.

Bill Goldberg vs Rocco Rock - Nitro
April 13, 1998
Rocco tries a shoulder block & you know how that ended up. He does a flip selling a right hand, eats a back elbow as they spill outside where Rocco takes over. He slams Goldberg into the steps and has enough time to set up a table in the ring by the corner. Of course Goldberg pops into the ring & hits a SPEAR through the table, Jackhammer, 3 count. Bad move by The Flyboy.

Bill Goldberg vs Barry Darsow - Thunder
April 16, 1998
Repo Man is next up to the plate as he works the arm for 2 seconds before Goldberg slams him down. Darsow tries a sunset flip, but gets punched in the face as Goldberg hits a huge hip toss. Darsow tries a cross body, but gets caught into a back breaker, so he gets an eye poke, as he throws Goldberg over the top rope.

Bill Goldberg vs Saturn – Spring Stampede
April 19, 1998
Spring Stampede as Goldberg hits a pump handle throw early, with an overhead belly to belly. Leg lock is broke up by Kidman ringside, so Goldberg just grabs him by the head & press slams him to the floor on Saturn, who takes over, going for the legs. Springboard legdrop & elbow off the second for 2. Goldberg avoids a suplex with his spinning neckbreaker & presses Saturn, hitting a catch slam. Saturn hits a T-Bone suplex, superkick & sends Goldberg outside. Missile dropkick off the apron sends Goldberg into the steps. Hurricanrana off the apron, but Saturn tries a moonsault off the second, but slips & they just both eat shit. Saturn just tosses Goldberg back inside & hits a spin kick off the top for 1. Prolonged arm bar by Saturn until Goldberg fights back with a side suplex. They mess up an Irish whip as Goldberg just throws a superkick, SPEAR, then signals for the end as The Flock takes the ref & Saturn gets a low blow. Saturn tries a rana off the second, but GOLDBERG PRESS SLAMS HIM OFF THE SECOND!! The Flock jump on the apron & get destroyed, as Kidman gets murdered with a SPEAR as Saturn attacks & slaps on the Rings of Saturn, but Goldberg just stands up with it locked on & hits a Jackhammer out of it, which was all power. This match was sloppy as hell, but the crowd didn’t care, Goldberg won.

Bill Goldberg vs Raven – Nitro - US Title
April 20, 1998
Raven attacks immediately with a friggin SPEAR & dropkick as they spill outside. Goldberg launches him into the railing multiple times right in front of The Flock. We get back inside where Goldberg murders Raven with a superkick to the floor. Chair shot by the US Champ as he hits the drop toehold on the chair for 2. Chair shot leads to a chin lock, which is nuts. Goldberg powers up, but no sells Raven’s offense as he hits a SPEAR as the crowd explodes. Sick Boy hits a missile dropkick, but Kidman botches leaping off his back, so Goldberg just launches Kidman to the floor. Horace smacks Goldberg with the Stop sign, but gets SPEARED. Reese in and Goldberg hits a SPEAR and Jackhammer on the 7 footer. Raven tries escaping through the crowd, but “fans” stop him & toss him over the barricade to Goldberg’s clutches. SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count, we have a new US Champion! I loved this so much, it was as chaotic of a Raven match as you’d want and the crowd lost their shit for the title change.

Bill Goldberg vs Mike Enos –Thunder - US Title
April 23, 1998
Enos wants revenge for his Beverly Brother who lost to Goldberg a few months back. Headbutts, punches, forearms have zero effect as he tries a hip toss & Goldberg does his terrible leg takedown. Rope break by Beverly as Goldberg plants him with a belly to belly & a short arm clothesline. Enos gets in some shots & a snap powerslam for 1 as Goldberg pops up, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Scott Norton – Nitro - US Title
April 27, 1998
Norton attacks & sends Goldberg to the floor where we brawl in the early going, but back inside Goldberg picks the ankle & Norton gets a rope break. To the ribs the champ goes as Norton fights back with a huge Shoulder Breaker 1…2…NO! Norton is shocked as he takes Goldberg down with an arm breaker, but Goldberg gets to his feet.

Bill Goldberg vs Sick Boy – Thunder - US Title
May 14, 1998
Quick start by Sick Boy as Goldberg sells his offense more than most guys as Sick Boy applies a NERVE HOLD ON GOLDBERG, seriously. He tries a leaping back elbow out of the corner & Goldberg just slams him down, then gorilla presses him over his head to the mat. SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count as The Flock just watch this happen.

Kicks blocked by Goldberg, who hits a big boot & roll up ankle lock as Nagata gets the ropes. Gorilla press into the powerslam as Yuji tries to get a boot in the corner & Goldberg hits a dragon screw leg whip, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. For a C level show, the crowd was super loud for this.

Bill Goldberg vs Perry Saturn – Slamboree - US Title
May 17, 1998
Slamboree as within seconds Goldberg hits his press powerslam & Goldberg does it again, Gorilla pressing Saturn, then hits a clothesline, sending Saturn outside. He suckers Goldberg on a chase, so he puts the boots to him back inside with a leg sweep, but Goldberg just no sells & chokes Saturn in the corner. To the floor, Saturn sends Goldberg into the post & hits a leap kick off the apron sending Goldberg back inside. Spin kick off the top for 2, so Saturn hits another before locking on a sleeper. Goldberg quickly up & slams out. Saturn dodges a corner splash & gets a chair, hitting a springboard dropkick . He goes for it again, but Goldberg hits a SPEAR in mid air.

Bill Goldberg vs Glacier – Nitro - US Title
May 18, 1998
Goldberg blocks like 5 kicks & clotheslines Glacier down as he hits a dragon screw leg whip and judo throw as Glacier again tries a kick & hits him. Goldberg bumps, but rolls to his feet & SPEARS Glacier, who struggled with a kip up, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Johnny Attitude – Nitro - US Title
May 25, 1998
“Johnny Attitude has shaved his head.” Tony informs us on commentary, as Attitude tries to act like Goldberg during his entrance. He tries to hit a Spear on Goldberg, but he bounces off of him. Gorilla Press by Goldberg as he beats the shit out of Attitude before a SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Barry Horowitz – Thunder - US Title
May 28, 1998
Barry charges & eats a boot immediately as Goldberg hits a massive powerslam as the crowd is going nuts. SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count. Poor Barry, probably his only title match in WCW (or maybe his career).

Cranking out the end of this Goldberg rewatch because I've grown tired of Ol' William. Plus I'm doing a bonus post after this one about him. Guarantee most of you have never seen the matches from that post.

Bill Goldberg vs Raven – Thunder -WCW Title
October 1, 1998
Michael Buffer here on Thunder to call this saying about Raven “the man who feels he’s been treated unfairly since childhood, by his parents & all others in his life. The Master of the Even Floooooowwww Rrrrrrraaaavvveeennnn!” Goldberg tosses Raven down multiple times as he hits a pop up powerslam. Crowd is a lot more dead than most Goldberg matches as he misses a corner splash & falls outside. Raven takes the fight to him, posting the champ as Kanyon sets up a table & holds Goldberg on it. Raven tries a dive, but Goldberg moves & Raven crashes. Back inside, Goldberg tries a Spear, but Raven pulls the ref in front of him & Goldberg spears them both. Kanyon grabs a chair & cracks Goldberg in the back as DDP runs out to make the save. Raven hits an Even Flow on Goldberg as DDP hits a Cutter on Kanyon. Goldberg sells the DDT for 2 seconds before popping up, hitting a neckbreaker, Jackhammer & the ref recovers for the 3 count. This ending sucked.

Bill Goldberg vs Disco Inferno – WCW Monday Nitro (Dark Match)
October 5, 1998
So this dark match happened either before Nitro or after, because there’s a shit ton of fans not there. Disco is wearing head gear and just a Nitro shirt and pants, he’s dressed as a crew member. Goldberg just comes to the ring, tosses the ref his belt, clotheslines Disco and tries for a gorilla press, but fucks it up, so he does it again & powerslams him down. He mounts & chokes Disco, then hits his murder superkick, rips the shirt off Disco & knocks him out with a punch. Stiff as hell forearm, then gorilla presses Disco yet again, but drops him like a sack of potatoes. SPEAR (he fucked him up something fierce), Jackhammer, 3 count. This was weird, but Disco took a beating, so it wasn’t all bad.

Bill Goldberg vs The Giant – Nitro - WCW Title
October 12, 1998
DROPKICK BY GIANT to start as he throws corner knees & side Russian leg sweep, headbutting Goldberg to the corner. Goldberg starts no selling, spin kick to the ribs & a bodyslam as Stevie Ray runs in with a chair shot, no DQ called though. Giant hits a Choke Slam 1…2…DDP in to break it up and hits a Cutter on Stevie. Giant goes to choke slam Page, but Goldberg spears him as the referee counts Giant out. Again, not a DQ, but a countout win.

Bill Goldberg vs Diamond Dallas Page – Halloween Havoc – WCW Title
October 25, 1998
They lock up & tumble outside, without letting go of each other (it’s here when I think the feed cut out on the PPV and the fans got fucked because the Hogan/Warrior shit-fest ran long). Slowly back inside as DDP tries a leg sweep, but Goldberg back flips out of it, so DDP tries again & gets it. Goldberg no sells it, bodyslams DDP down & works an arm lock, which DDP gets the ropes. Jawbreaker as Page goes for the Cutter, but Goldberg sends him to the floor. Goldberg works the arm & DDP rolls out, gets a takedown, but Goldberg pops up & shoulder blocks Page to the floor again. Spinning neckbreaker by Page inside, then a side Russian leg sweep for 2. Front face lock applied & Goldberg fights out with a spinning neckbreaker of his own. Side suplex connects for 2, but he goes for it again & Page hits a tilt a whirl head scissors. Goldberg hits a superkick, charges in the corner & eats the post as DDP moves. Goldberg slowly slides back inside & Page hits a clothesline off the top for 2. Goldberg tries a hip toss, but Page counters into a DDT. Page signals for the Diamond Cutter, but turns his back & hit with a SPEAR, yet Goldberg can’t capitalize. Goldberg goes for the Jackhammer, but Page slides out & hits the Diamond Cutter to a huge pop! Page crawls over slowly 1…2…NO! Page foolishly goes for a suplex & Goldberg uses the momentum to counter into a Jackhammer for the 3 count. Up to this point, this was the best Goldberg match in his run and arguably the best of his entire WCW career (I’d say Fall Brawl 2000 against Scott Steiner is better, but there’s an argument to be made).

Bill Goldberg vs Meng – Nitro Extra - WCW Title
November 10, 1998
This was apparently a dark match post Nitro as they collide with neither moving. Goldberg fakes hitting the ropes & hits a clothesline as Meng fires back with shots in the corner. They collide with clotheslines, but Meng misses a dropkick, only to answer with a big boot. He signals for the Death Grip, but Goldberg pops up, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs The Giant – Nitro - WCW Title
November 23, 1998
They trade corner shots as Giant hits a clothesline & big boot, then hits his Choke Slam 1…2…KICK OUT! Giant is shocked as he’s chopping away and Goldberg no sells as he throws knees at the big man, sends him to the corner, Giant bounces out, SPEAR, Jackhammer, 3 count.

Bill Goldberg vs Scott Hall – Nitro - WCW Title
December 21, 1998
The final victory in the streak as this was the go home show for Starrcade against Nash. He tosses Hall down to start as Hall works the arm over, but Goldberg gets some knees & a fireman’s carry. Kevin Nash makes his way ringside as Goldberg hits a powerslam and Nash fakes looking scared. Hall attacks from behind as he hits a Fall Away Slam. Goldberg pops up, no selling, hits the SPEAR, but Nash pulls Hall to the floor as Bam Bam Bigelow hits the ring for the DQ. That’s right; Goldberg’s final win in the streak came, with a DQ.

Bill Goldberg vs Kevin Nash – Starrcade 98 - WCW Title
December 27, 1998
Full minute of stalling before we lock up & Goldberg backs Nash to the corner, but Big Sexy pie faces him away. Nash grabs a headlock as “Goldberg Sucks” chants ring out. Goldberg back suplexes out of it and that’s the biggest Nash bump I’ve arguably ever seen in WCW up to this point. Now there are “Nash Sucks” chants as he starts throwing corner knees, elbows & the squisher boot, but Goldberg shoves him out, chokes him down & locks on a leg lock in the middle of the ring, but Nash is so tall, he grabs the ropes. Goldberg throws kicks & punches that drop Nash, but he grabs the trunks of the champ & drives him into the corner face first. Nash shoots Goldberg off, but the champ hits a SPEAR! He calls for the finish, but Nash hits a low blow right in front of the ref. Nash really works to get a side suplex for 2, then chokes Goldberg in the ropes, dropping the leg down for 2 again. Goldberg superkicks Nash in the gut, but Nash hits a back elbow & clothesline for a third near fall. Nash looks for a suplex, but Goldberg counters into a spinning neckbreaker & then a gut wrench suplex for a super close 2 count. Superkick connects as he hoists Nash up for a powerslam for 2. Goldberg hits a super sloppy spinning heel kick as DISCO INFERNO sprints out & gets chucked it the ring, hit with a SPEAR, then BAM BAM BIGELOW hits the ring. They brawl briefly as security hits the ring to get Bam Bam away, but Scott Hall, decked in security gear, stuns Goldberg with a stun gun. Nash, who took the ref, connects with a Jackknife Powerbomb for the 1…2…3. They said Nash never saw Hall out there, but we’d find out it was all bullshit & Nash would drop the title to Hogan in the finger poke of doom like a week later.

And with that, the famed streak of Bill Goldberg comes to an end. It annoys me more now than it did in 98 when I ate anything wrestling cranked out up like a lunatic. Watching this match with 2020 eyes, it was a terrible call by Nash to book himself to beat Goldberg. I know he was super over as well, not saying he wasn't, but you lost so much of Goldberg's appeal when the streak ended. He was just another guy after it. Not to mention, the Fingerpoke of Doom happened like a week later, making this match incredibly pointless. There's heat & then there's turn the channel brain dead nonsense heat & that's what I did.
