Five Least Popular Booking Decisions of All Time

#3 Goldberg turns heel

Ahh WCW circa summer 2000. That is probably all that needs to be said, but that wouldn't make for a very interesting slide.

The month after David Arquette's WCW World title reign came to an end, head booker, Vince Russo happened upon another booking idea which he hoped would turn WCW into a force in pro-wrestling.

Like his previous idea, it failed miserably. The Arquette call nearly destroyed WCW, the Goldberg heel turn solidified the company's demise.

Goldberg had been out injured for months after he had suffered deep cuts to his arm after he smashed a Limo window with his elbow.

His much-anticipated return occurred a fortnight before the Great American Bash pay-per-view, and he seemingly went to war with WCW's bosses, Russo, and Eric Bischoff, as part of the New Blood versus the Millionaire's Club storyline.

Goldberg had been banned from the building but interjected himself in the main event, when he speared Kevin Nash instead of Jeff Jarrett to ensure Jarrett defended the gold successfully.

He then embraced Russo and Bischoff to stunned silence from onlookers. The WCW fans did not bombard the ring with trash or boo vociferously; they just sat on their hands in disappointment.

This was a heel turn that no one wanted. The decision was reversed a few short months later but the damage was done. WCW's greatest drawing card was ruined beyond repair.
