8. The best match of his career
For a match that didn’t fit the bill of a classic from a duration’s standpoint, this had everything you’d expect from a classic battle. The storytelling, in-ring phycology, and the dynamics were all top-notch in what was arguably the best match of Goldberg’s career.
Goldberg’s inability to execute the Jackhammer due to the perfected selling of his injured right arm, the countless near falls and that Diamond Cutter reversal from a Jackhammer – every moment kept the fans faithfully invested in the clash between two of the greatest fan favourites in WCW history.
Goldberg’s astuteness in putting on five-star matches has always been a matter of deep conversation, but here he proved his detractors wrong. A bulk of the credit goes to DDP for carrying the match and being the cherished underdog to the best of his ability. Despite the solidity of the bout, a lot was left to be desired at the end of it all, as till date, many fans feel DDP should have been the one to break Goldberg’s streak.
