    It's worth noting that part of the reason why WCW's "official" count for Goldberg's streak was so far above the actual count is because at Road Wild 1998 Goldberg was a part of the 9-man nWo Invitational Battle Royal (despite never actually being invited by the nWo), eliminating six of the competitors (& even setting up Lex Liger to be eliminated by The Giant). WCW, in all its "wisdom", decided to count each elimination as a "win" for Goldberg's streak, and while it certainly wasn't the primary reason for the inflation it's easily the most egregious example for a single night.
    Wrestling Bios counted Goldberg's actual streak count while doing his Reliving the War series, and the two biggest takeaways are that, earlier on, WCW seemingly UNDERcounted Goldberg's streak by two or three (as they likely didn't count some house show wins), and once WCW counted the Road Wild elimination there was no way WCW was ever going to be close to the real number.

      It's like WWE saying there was 93,000 fans in the Pontiac Silverdome when in reality there were some empty seats which were covered in the dome yet WWE couldn't help themselves since Andre was the draw and the reason so many people wanted to see him put Hogan over.

      Supposedly what happened is someone high up at WCW (bishoff probably but I can't remember if that was who it was for sure) decided to make Goldberg champ but wanted him to have his win at a ppv (likely fall brawl or Halloween havok) but hogan wanted the match to happen at the Georgia dome nitro show because he knew their would be a lot of turner big wigs in attendance and he wanted them to see him being a team player and putting over Goldberg. That's why there was no buildup to the match. I believe it was 1st announced at the thunder before that nitro so they had 4 days and no prime time shows to promote what was going to be a huge match. They gave away a massive ppv buy so hogan could look good in front of the turner ppl. Apologies if this was addressed in the video, I'm only 2 and a half minutes in so far. O and hogan was expecting to get the win back and being the guy who ended the streak and get the belt back.

      I hadn't been to an event where the crowd went balls to wall ballistic like that since the late 80s when Ultimate Warrior's entrance begun.
      Hulk Hogan had the enthusiasm also, but it wasn't as intense, it had a more different feel, like patriotic admiration and just happy to be apart of what's to come.

    Goldberg in 1997-98 was lightening in a bottle, nothing came remotely close to replicating that, the only thing missing from his run was merchandise sales, the guy just didn't have much interesting merchandise for sale, even at the height of his popularity in WCW.
    I mean to be fair, outside of action figures (which everyone had), you couldn't really do much else with him in terms of merchandise, he didn't really say much, his look was basic at best, black trunks, black boots and nothing else.

    I feel that Goldberg gets a lot of hate today, some of it justified for being too reckless, and some of it just being haters.
    Goldberg should’ve been trained better, I give you that, and should’ve been less reckless at times.
    But the thing fans need to understand is pro wrestling is not a sport, it’s an acting dramatic version of fighting, if you want wrestling to be a sport, then go watch amateur wrestling as that’s an actual sport.
    The goal of pro wrestling is to get the audience engaged through soap opera like stories that make you want to see a fight and a brawl between the babyfaces and heels.
    That is pro wrestling 101 right there, also notice I said fight and brawl, and not acrobatics.
    The meat of pro wrestling is always the story, because without story, you don’t get the audience engaged.
    Now that we’ve established what pro wrestling actually is, back to Goldberg.
    The modern fan seems to say “well Goldberg can’t wrestle”, and yet neither could Hulk Hogan or The Ultimate Warrior, yet they drew in serious levels of money and got wrestling into the mainstream, while purist fans that so desperately want pro wrestling to be something it’s not with acrobatics and care more about matches, that shit doesn’t draw money.
    The modern wrestling fan really reminds of Guitar nerds, when no one gives a fuck how well you can play on a guitar, they just want to listen to a fun song, and no one gives a fuck how well you can wrestle, people just want to see an engaging story that pays off with an entertaining brawl.
    People paid to see Goldberg wreck shit up, and fans got what they wanted, did people want Bret Hart to lose his career?, well of course fucking not, and that’s why I said he should’ve been trained better.
    But Goldberg got so fucking over because people wanted to see him wreck shit up.

      I'll never forget it either. I remember where I was living with these two girls Shayna and Nisha. Me and my brother. But when I watch the match I was alone nobody else was at the house and I was debating on going down to the bar. But when they announced the match there was no way that I was missing it. I remember not being sure at all that he would beat Hogan. I think that match match may be my favorite wrestling moment ever.

    Point in fact wrestling bios did a reliving the worst series where they counted every single match in his streak, every house show and every dark match. In fact according to his EVIDENCE, WCW UNDERCOUNTED the streak by 3 matches. Let me repeat that: not only was the number lower than the number of wins in a row, all of these videos that say Goldberg had not nearly that many matches didn't do their homework, they just made it up.

    There is a shoot during the old Legends of Wrestling show that covered the nWo, and they talked about the finger poke and all that; I'd like to side with Nash's idea of rebuilding Goldberg to epic warrior status, if not for him injuring himself bashing in a limousine window.

    • @daviddalrymple2284
      @daviddalrymple2284 Місяць тому

      I will always defend the Fingerpoke of Doom as a proper way to end the nWo red/white split. The problem is that they should have dismantled the nWo for good (preferably at the hands of Goldberg and a stable of younger talent) before starting the "Corruption of Ric Flair" storyline.

    I don't know why Goldberg didn't keep doing the backflip thing. His series of moves should have been: backflip, spear, jackhammer. The back handspring was so impressive. There were a lot of guys who could flip off the turnbuckle, but a standing backflip is way harder.

    Goldberg had a hugely popular initial run but failed to maintain as a significant draw. And ultimately, that streak defined Goldberg, and Goldberg’s legacy begins and ends there.

    • @PhotonBeast
      @PhotonBeast Місяць тому

      That's a great way of putting it. After the streak, comes the question that plagues every one-dimensional monster in wrestling - what do you do with a monster that can be beaten? Without supporting character work and storylines, the monster is no more and you're left with just a person. Powerful, yes, but mortal, and, as you said, defined only by that singular legacy. Goldberg could have been more, but nope, his character and story WAS his streak.

      ​@@PhotonBeastNash was the right person to do it but him and Bishop should have came up with another idea that was not the finger poke of doom. Just let Nash keep the belt for a few months and then drop it to Goldberg and Goldberg lose to Hogan to get his win back. Easy

    I hate the term "Casual, Midcore, Hardcore."
    I know enough high end people in 14, that just do that. They have vast swaths of the game unlocked. Hell, one of them didn't even have the Alex raids unlocked, but cleared TEA. They can't even handle dungeons.
    Is it really casual to log hundreds of hours of play time doing wild achievements that take brutal dedication, like the Mentor Roulette achievements, or the Deep Dungeons? Are the just "handing" the gear to people that spent months and months grinding out tomes and the final step of the normal raid (7 weeks to be precise when the tier dropped) to acquire the most recent tome gear and weapon sans the ring and then, spend even more time turning in mid tier tomes for the augmented crafted gear while they wait for the augmented tome pieces to be available to the population and spends even MORE time grinding the alliance raid for the coin (week after week) and hunt trains to buy those upgrades with nuts? Who the hell is handing these people, anything!
    And even then, they aren't BiS, yet frankly, I'm more proud of having that gear earned that way because I damn well EARNED THAT. The raid, could of been carried, could of bought the clears, or, I'm done in a month or so and have nothing to do and no reason to play any more.
    Sorry, but raiders in this game, are the casuals if we're using that term. They show up for a small section of the game, do it and abandon the rest for months. They're like a person that won a contest to a amusement ride park and they can ride all the rides for unlimited amounts of times; but choose to just to ride the biggest roller coaster endlessly. And then tell everyone else that's all that matters.
    No thanks pal. This concept of endgame dried up almost 15 years ago in this sector, but because they're all afraid to abandon a system nearly A QUARTER CENTURY OLD NOW! The genre is stifled. There's a place for raiding, it has to stop being the ONLY place. The journey can't just be 'rush into a big old challenge with (x) others, get loot, log out for months on end until new story dribbles out and/or new raid teir.' It's crushing this game.

      He was safe enough when he was doing his thing with squash matches. Couple of slams and clotheslines, a spear and then Jackhammer was all done pretty well. It is when he had to work longer then a minute that he approached Ryback levels.
      The problem was mainly that once he hit the main stage, he either didn't have time or was unwilling to actually work on his craft. So if you were watching a match and you saw him pull off a move that you never seen him do before, odds were that that was actually the first time he tried that move. That is very risky for the other person in the ring.
