Goldberg will make his first appearance inside a WWE ring in 12 years on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw to respond to Brock Lesnar's challenge, and it seems like a WrestleMania XX rematch is on the horizon.
Goldberg was one of the most popular figures in the hottest period in wrestling history, but it wasn't his work during his short stint in WWE that most fans remember. Goldberg rapidly became the most dominant force in WCW in its heyday thanks to his massive undefeated streak (along with his incredibly powerful look and stellar entrance).
Goldberg made his Nitro debut on September 22, 1997, and beat Hugh Morrus to start his career 1-0. Over the next few months, Goldberg annihilated everyone he faced.
In early 1998 he won his first WCW title, defeating Raven to win the United States Championship. A few months later, Goldberg beat Hollywood Hulk Hogan on Nitro to win the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time in his career.
For more than a year, Goldberg didn't lose a single match in WCW. According to the company, his streak stretched to 173 wins and zero defeats before Starrcade 1998, when Kevin Nash snapped the streak with help from his NWO teammate Scott Hall.
