3. Matt Hardy gets broken in half
Many purposeless stars are needed to build up a beast and Goldberg was no exception. While Goldberg was already the unstoppable wrecking machine by then, he needed to trample someone on his return to in-ring action after a brief lay-off, and Hardy was the perfect scapegoat.
Matt Hardy was incensed that he doesn’t get the spotlight he deserved and went on a rant about the Texas Rattlesnake, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stone Cold came riding out in his quad and showed no qualms about whooping Hardy’s sorry butt. Hardy, though, demanded fresh opposition, someone he’d never faced before and Stone Cold obliged to it by calling out anyone who would want to do the honors for him.

Goldberg’s music hit, the Coliseum crowd were sent into a frenzy and Matt Hardy’ cocky expression transitioned into one of transparent horror. Goldberg snugly dispatched Hardy in a match that was ruined by Jonathan Coachman's horrendous work on commentary.
