Who Would You Liked To Have Seen End Goldberg's Streak in WCW

[The Good The Bad The HBK]

DDP would have been my pick especially after he reversed the jackhammer into the Diamond cutter. One of the best reversals in wrestling at the time that was wasted.

Jericho would have been my next pick.

Or they could have actually used Hitman the way they're supposed to and have him end it when Goldberg speared him and he had the metal vest on.

DDP. Nobody was more "team wcw" than ddp. He was always one of my faves on the roster

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Goldberg should still be undefeated...like Chael P Sonnen.

Bret

Steiner, Booker or DDP would have made the most sense, further elevate a guy they developed. I think Jericho, Benoit, Guerrero were all wrong to stop a wrecking ball.

 

[RedFoxOne]

I like the Bret and DDP ideas. The Diamond Cutter reversal is still such a great little moment in time. I always thought WCW did an ok job of hyping mega matches (pre '96) but they just lost their way once the nWo storyline took over. Maybe the lackluster Starcade '97 match had something to do with, not sure, but I wouldn't count on them being able to hype a title change with the type of spectacle it deserved.

A younger talent, years after it actually happened. The next "one" basically.

The opportunity was there.

ddp after he countered the jackhammer, or you do a rematch sometime in 99 and have ddp finally beat him.

Scott Steiner

Goldberg would've never wrestled Nash at starrcade but Jericho instead after a cheap WW3 win.

Goldberg would've kept the streak until starrcade 1999 beating guys like Flair, Savage, Sid, Nash, Luger, and Sting

I would've kept the huge tournament with Steiner beating Benoit in the finals at Mayhem. Steiner then squashes Bill at Starrcade and Goldberg goes away for a while while Steiner destroys all the faces

You know what is really interesting about this discussion?

I think people forget how popular Nash and the Wolfpac were in 1998 going into December.

So, I think maybe he was a fine choice, it was just the aftermath that sucked

The opportunity was there.

I still maintain that's the best finisher-reversal-finisher ever.

A close 2nd is the FootStomp-Reversal-RKO at the wrestlemania back in 2014, I think.

 

[Thrawn33]

Heel Bret would've been fine, but the damage had already been done to his character upon arrival to WCW, and I'm not sure if he ever recovered. Yes he was always a legit top guy, but he lost some magic.

Steiner was my choice. WCW waited too long to pull the trigger and put the strap on him.

DDP and Booker would've been my other choices.

Agree with an earlier post that Jericho/Benoit/Eddie wouldn't have worked with the way WCW used them.

 

[lakersfan45]

The HBK sheen michael or David aqueete

 

[Hitman81]

I thought Jericho was the most talented guy on that roster and it would have been great to see a CW pull it off

I was a pretty big fan of the Crossface to ankle lock transition Benoit and Angle had in RR 03.

 

[White Whale]

DDP and Steiner due to how popular they where with a win over Goldberg pushing them to main event status.

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

Steiner. They had a good back and forth and he was a genetic freak. Still a big fan of big poppa pump. His promos were epic.
