Goldberg's 5 biggest matches in his WWE/WCW career

Would Goldberg vs Lesnar 2.0 exceed expectations?

#3 Losing the WCW Title to Kevin Nash to end the streak at Starrcade 1998

The streak ended that night

This wasn’t a great moment if you were a Goldberg fan but in terms of big matches it has to be included. This was not only the night that The Streak ended but was also the end of Goldberg’s only WCW World Title run.

Goldberg went into Starrcade 1998 as the WCW Champion against Kevin Nash, who was a big name in the company that was also influential in terms of the creative side as well. It was one of those matches where most people thought Goldberg would be put to the test by a big name like Nash, but ultimately Goldberg would find a way to retain his title.

That’s not what happened.

The finish of the match was very cheap as the likes of Disco Inferno and Bam Bam Bigelow showed up. Then Nash's buddy Scott Hall was at ringside wearing a security shirt. He used a stun gun object on the body of Goldberg as a way to cause pain. Nash took advantage with a Powerbomb and covered Goldberg to win the title and end the streak.

Goldberg's streak ended that night and for a lot of people, it was the end of WCW. Once The Streak was over they just didn't know how to run a wrestling company in a way that really built up new stars.

To this day, it remains one of the stupid booking decisions WCW ever made.
