4- Chris Jericho and Goldberg
Trending
What? I guess Jericho was “NEXT.” Remember that Goldberg got his start in football and was “discovered” by Sting and Lex Luger in a casual meeting. Also remember, Goldberg was hard to work with and was stiff in the ring. Back in WCW, Jericho and Goldberg came face to face backstage, which Jericho spoke of in his autobiography.
In 2003, According to the six-time WWE champion, Goldberg criticized Jericho’s performance behind his back, and when Jericho confronted him with the accusation, Goldberg growled and grabbed Y2J’s throat. When the former NFL nose tackle charged for a takedown, Jericho snapped on a front face lock with a leg scissors.
Other wrestlers finally jumped in and separated the two and cooler heads prevailed, Jericho and Goldberg – whose uneasiness dated back years earlier to WCW, when a brash Jericho mocked the pomp and circumstance of Goldberg’s security-escorted entrance – shook hands and decided they’d keep their fighting to the ring.
I wonder if Goldberg does come back to WWE, would Jericho instantly become a heel to work with Goldberg, potentially playing on that confrontation?
