Goldberg, a WWE Hall of Famer known for his impressive 28-year wrestling career, which includes an undefeated streak in WCW and twice winning the WWE Universal Championship, recalls his proudest moment from 1998. Reflecting on his victory over Hulk Hogan at the Georgia Dome, Goldberg shared with “Shakh Wrestling” that the significance wasn’t just beating Hogan, but the deeper sense of fulfillment he felt being on the soccer field, where his true passion lies. He described the moment as poetic justice, realizing that while he once aspired to be like the wrestling legends, they later sought to emulate him.
On the memorable night of July 6, 1998, Goldberg faced off against “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship during “WCW Nitro.” Hogan, then a dominant figure in WCW backed by his New World Order allies like Razor Ramon and Kevin Nash, was finally overcome by Goldberg, who was still undefeated on Nitro and secured his crowning title victory.
Currently, Goldberg is gearing up for what is expected to be the last match of his career: a WWE World Heavyweight Championship bout against Gunther, set to headline the upcoming Saturday night event.
Fan Take: This news is highly significant for WWE fans as it highlights the closing chapter of a legendary wrestler’s career while connecting past iconic moments to the present. Goldberg’s final match is a celebration of his impact on the sport and could inspire a new generation of wrestlers and fans.
