5 WCW Stars Who Became Popular In WWE

#4 Goldberg

Goldberg - Had two successful albeit shortlived runs in WWE

The promotional video for Goldberg's long awaited WWE debut aired at Wrestlemania XIX. "Da Man" debuted the next night on Raw and clashed with The Rock in his first WWE match.

Unfortunately for Goldberg, WWE decided to present their own version of the character. Gone was the dynamic, almost invincible star who destroyed opponents in under two minutes.

Goldberg instead was instructed to fight long matches where he was required to sell and sell which damaged his aura.

However, WWE repaired some of the damage at Summerslam 2003 when Goldberg competed in the Elimination Chamber in which Triple H's World Heavyweight Championship was on the line. Goldberg demonstrated all his devastating WCW power moves as he eliminated Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton in short order before a sledgehammer shot from Triple H saw him succumb to his first defeat in the promotion.

The WWE fanbase finally fully embraced Goldberg as one of their own when he defeated Triple H for the World Championship the following month and continued to defend it against all comers.

Goldberg failed to come to an agreement with WWE on a contract extension and left the company after his victory over Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania XX.

12 years later, Goldberg returned to much fanfare and defeated Lesnar once again to a thunderous response at the 2016 Survivor Series. Goldberg won his final World title when he defeated Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship in February 2017 before he departed WWE once more following his title loss to Lesnar at Wrestlemania 33.

Goldberg was inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018
