10 Matches of Goldberg you probably didn't know about

4. The Viper’s turn

Goldberg’s feud against the Evolution had everything you’d expect from the babyface vs. heel faction dynamic – singles matches with each member, the unavoidable handicap bouts and endless instances of unassailable beatdowns.

The Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight title at SummerSlam was right around and Goldberg was naturally the red-hot favourite. Thus, WWE booked Goldberg to go up against the Viper – who was also a part of the Elimination Chamber match, on the go-home episode of RAW for Summerslam.

With Stone Cold at ringside as the special enforcer, Triple H and Ric Flair on commentary and Goldberg aching to squash the Viper, the match was bound to end in chaotic fashion. The match had all the cliches – the referee getting knocked out, Ric Flair’s interference, Stone Cold’s timely ass-whooping and Goldberg’s eventual victory.

The twists didn’t end there! Kevin Nash laid out Goldberg, Triple H got super kicked by HBK, who in turn got a chair shot to the back courtesy of Chris Jericho. Add to that Jim Ross’s legendary commentary in all of this and you’d imagine why the fans still yearn for those golden years to return.
