I Completley marked when his music hit, I can't wait to see him slaughter the rock

I concur. I used to really hate Goldberg for like the first year he was around, but little by little he impressed me. I am totally gonna stand up and cheer when he hits the Jackhammer on Rock at Backlash.

That's going to be a great match, some people say goldberg can only do 3 moves, thats BS, go watch some of his earlier, then later WCW matches, the guy knows tons of submission holds, that's all WCW wanted him to do for the winning streak was squashes.

Another one I can't wait for is HHH vs Goldberg... it'll happen eventually.

Oh yes... and Goldberg's awesome strength... I downloaded this video clip of nothing but finishers and great highlight moments of ECW, WCW, WWF, and UFC. In the clip, Goldberg actually Jackhammered Paul Wight (Big Show... duh).

Of course, his spear has nothing on RhYno's!!! YEAH (you can tell I'm a RhYno fanatic)!!!

Oh... and G... G... Goldust... RAR... against Trip... Trip... Triple H is going to be one I can't wait to see. I just wish Goldust would quit freaking out in the middle of matches.

I don't see why Goldberg is so great, I mean the guy became famous for "beating" wrestlers like Barry Darsow and Lodi; who were on WCW's C list of stars. They made his character unstoppable, and then they brought in Scott Hall with a cattle prod which was "the only thing that can stop Goldberg!"

Well, that kind of booking was something that hadn't been done in a while. It'd been a couple years since there was a true "dominant" guy in wrestling, one that after a while you started thinking "NOBODY can beat THIS guy!" I think the last one before Goldberg was Big Show/Giant, and after Hogan beat Giant his aura went away. I always liked that kinda thing, it creates drama. It's true he started out wrestling guys like Lodi and Chris Adams, but by the time he won the belt he'd wrestled and beaten everyone in the company, so I really can't complain with how he was booked until after Russo got a hold of him. Basically, Goldberg was booked the way Ken Shamrock was supposed to have been... again, until Russo got a hold of him.

Goldberg didn't impress me at first, over time I grew to respect him. It's true he doesn't have a moveset as vast as someone like Benoit, but neither does Flex and the people flock to him like sheep. A lot of it's charisma and how you carry yourself, and Goldberg always had an aura.

Though selfishly, I'm secretly half-wishing for him to nail Flex with the "Bret-Killer" superkick at Backlash. Is that wrong?
