Goldberg was WCW's most popular star, and one of the highest paid Superstars on their roster. When WWE bought out WCW, they did not buy out Goldberg's contract which meant that he did not make the move to WWE, like many of his peers in WCW.

But he did eventually sign for WWE in 2003 and feuded with top stars like The Rock, Chris Jericho, Triple H, and finally, the most eagerly awaited clash in WWE back then, against Brock Lesnar.

The match happened at WrestleMania XX, where Stone Cold Steve Austin was the special guest referee, and Goldberg got the win.

The match will be largely remembered for the loud booing that Goldberg and Lesnar received from the fans as it was the last match for both Superstars in the WWE.

He later revealed that he quit WWE in 2004 because he no longer enjoyed being a pro wrestler.
