Who was next? There is never going to be anyone else like Goldberg. He debuted, wont e World Title, and had his huge run basically end in the span of three years. Sure there were a few return runs in there as well, but that first run was one of the best of all time and something that is never going to be approached again. He ran through some of the all time greats in that time and that’s worth looking at again.
Blink and you’ll miss it. Check out Goldberg destroying some of the biggest names of all time:
In honor of his fifty second birthday on Thursday, WWE has posted a new video looking at 10 Legends Goldberg Destroyed. The video is exactly what it sounds like, with a look back at all kinds of big stars being taken out by Goldberg at one point or another. The ten names are listed chronologically and include Goldberg’s first huge win over Hollywood Hogan in 1998, all the way up to his destruction of Brock Lesnar in 2016.
Opinion: I was watching Goldberg’s initial run and even though I was a WWE fan to my core, I had never seen anything like him. You can’t fake that kind of power and intensity and Goldberg sold it as well as anyone ever had. He really was a one of a kind talent and someone who had become one of the best monsters of his time. This was a really cool flashback for someone who has earned one.
