Match # 140: Scott Steiner vs. Goldberg (Nitro 7/18/00) Talk about having to lower my standards for this disk of wrestling. Steiner was the walking wounded at this point, and was more gimmick than wrestler as he gutted out a main event push here. TNA and the last year of WCW have A LOT in [...]
Match # 132: Hollywood Hogan/Sting/Goldberg vs. Kevin Nash/Sid/Scott Steiner (Nitro 8/9/99) Nash, Sid, and Steiner is the oddest team I’ve seen in some time. Why did Sid have a job, why did Nash bother to show up, and isn’t that the wrong Steiner for 1999 WCW? The faces all get separate entrances because they’re bigger [...]
Match # 127: DDP vs. Goldberg (Nitro 4/19/99) This match has a big feel to start, even by hyperbolic Nitro standards. Both men have an intensity at the start and DDP uses movement and bumps at the beginning to get across that while he won’t back down from Goldberg, he’s going to have to find [...]
Match # 109: Goldberg vs. Sting (Nitro 9/14/98) This has the potential to be one of those great surprising Nitro main events, in the same vain of the earlier DDP vs Sting match that didn’t go over ten minutes, but had a solid story and work ethic. Goldberg really did have a great run, be [...]
Match # 105: Hollywood Hogan vs. Goldberg (Nitro 7/6/98) This was, and still may be, the most famous match up on NITRO. It certainly may be a watershed moment, as the match that would have made millions on PPV given a build to Starcade in December was put together in one short week by Bischoff, [...]
Match # 97: Goldberg vs. Raven (Nitro 4/20/98) I remember this match. And I remember this match ruling. This was Goldberg taking it to another level with his first title shot – vs Raven for the U.S. Title, and I believe win number 50 or 100. I’ll know for sure when we get to the [...]
Match # 90: Steven Regal vs. Goldberg (Nitro 2/9/98) One of the best car crash matches in history as a heavy and substance abusing Regal refuses to wrestle the Goldberg formula match, so we get a strong style hold based match with little cooperation. I love it!
