Goldberg vs Warrior would have been terrible, dudes. Come on. The IDEA of it sounds rad. If it was 1998 Goldberg and 1990 Warrior. The match would have been horrific. This was Warrior at full speed and ability in 1998:

It's not about workrate.

Hogan vs Goldberg isn't remembered because of the great work, it was because of the moment.

That match would have done huge business had it happened and warrior stayed protected.

Hoegan said it best on the Self Destruction DVD he just started rolling and rolling and rolling that promo just went south the more Warrior talked.

Hogan/Warrior 1 was good, though. Warrior in 1998 was literally physically incapable of having a good match with Goldberg (or anyone). Warrior tore multiple muscles kicking a fukking fence. There was zero chance he could have had the high impact dope match people would want out of a Goldberg/Warrior, and it would do nothing but disappoint and ultimately piss the fans off for making them waste their money.

Goldberg/Hogan would not be remembered as fondly if that same match happened on a PPV that people had to pay for instead of free on TV.

That Hoegan/Warrior match had to win the Worst Match Of The Year award going away. Main event wrestling in both feds that year was the drizzling shyts but look at all the money both made. :yeshrug:

We talking 1998 or 1990? 1990 Hogan/Warrior was a great match for the characters and company they existed in. 1998 was terrible on every possible level. Yet people are thinking Warrior/Goldberg wouldn't be just as bad and actively piss the fans off for wasting their money on dog shyt? :mindblown:

Warrior was fine for what he was, but he wasn't having good matches without good-great talents in the ring with him. Goldberg wasn't going to help him put on a good match. And nothing angers and audience more when they pay good money for a super hype match only for it to be terrible.

I don't understand why and I hate to use to the term but "neckbeards" complained about Goldberg beating Hoegan free on Nitro like they mad and wanted to waste 50 dollars to see it :dwillhuh:


It happening on Nitro in the Dome came off better than winning at some bullshyt ass Hog Wild or wherever they were trying to do it. Me and my sister were hype as fukk all day during the summer waiting for Nitro to pop off.

Yeah that match would've been awful 2 styles that don't mesh at all that's one dream match I've never heard anyone discuss until reading this thread actually.

Exactly, it was truly one of the greatest nights in the history of our sport

It's funny too because that was actually the first night that TNT started showing Nitros on Tape Delay on the west coast if you had regular cable so it really was the "Monday Night Wars" for us west coast viewers without satellite for the first time. We always had it good on Mondays because Nitro would come on at 5 then Raw wouldn't come on till 9 so we could watch both without worrying about switching back and forth.

I already did. It was a shytty match, and had it been on PPV that you had to pay for, in a much smaller arena, it wouldn't have been the "moment" it was in front of 40,000 people on TV for free. If the same match move for move happened at BATB in front of 10,000 people, it would be remembered as another in a long line of shytty WCW PPV main events you wasted your money on instead of a great moment.
