WCW Starrcade 1997
Goldberg vs. Steve McMichael
Little backstory here, Goldberg cost Mongo a match at Halloween Havoc after being paid off by Debra with Mongos Super Bowl ring. They two were set to meet at another PPV but Mongo took out Goldberg with a pipe. Naturally, the two aren’t coming into this match to wrestle...mainly because if they did it would be a disaster. But luckily it’s not!
Goldberg meets Mongo in the aisle way and the two begin to throw leather to quote the American Dream. That sets the tone for this match as they two just pound on each other. I won’t sugarcoat it there are a couple of sloppy points and awkward moments, mainly involving Goldberg being not completely sure what to do with a table. A Jackhammer Brainbuster ends this for Mongo adding to Goldberg’s now legendary streak.
A good no nonsense brawl. This match was booked to both men’s advantage and it worked perfectly (mostly). The fans kind of float in and out of this match but it’s not noticeable.
