5 Best Eric Bischoff ideas 

#2 The Goldberg Push & Streak

Became 'Da Man' in a Hogan world

When the nWo angle had reached its first year, although still very hot, it began to take in some criticism. The big criticism was it seemed like the WCW World Championship would always be around Hulk Hogan. Any time he would drop the belt, it would always be to another veteran like Randy Savage, who would quickly lose it back.

And while Sting was a popular victor in the WCW Championship battles with Hogan, he to would soon drop it and the title would soon be back in black and white. There was one more hope come 1998, however. Bill Goldberg had made an impressive debut in September 1997 and had run through everyone WCW had put against him, and it was now time for the ultimate test. Goldberg was put in a WCW Championship match with Hulk Hogan in the Georgia Dome in his hometown.

In one of the most memorable matches in WCW history, Goldberg pinned Hulk Hogan to capture the WCW Championship in July 1998. What had made Goldberg so special for the fans up to this point was his winning streak, and that he always smashed his way through opponents in very quick fashion to victory. Goldberg would hold the WCW Championship for just over five months, before losing it to Kevin Nash at WCW Starrcade in controversial fashion. While it is widely believed that Goldberg's 173-0 was heavily exaggerated, 'The Streak' is still highly praised booking to this very day.

Eric Bischoff stated on the WWE DVD release 'The Monday Night Wars' in 2004 that he likes to think he is responsible for everything that went into the Goldberg character.
