#2 Goldberg hits a Spear through a glass in Santa's Slay

Santa's Slay is a Christmas slasher comedy flick, that came out in 2005. This was a while after Goldberg had parted ways with WWE after his year-long stint in the company. Goldberg plays the role of Santa Claus in the movie and is featured in various scenes where characters are killed off in the most brutal manner. At one point in the movie, Goldberg can be seen running towards a counter which is made of glass. He runs through the glass counter and hits a Spear on the guy standing behind it.

Goldberg's Spear is one of the most dangerous finishers in WWE history

One look at the sequence is enough to notice that this Spear definitely wasn't one of Goldberg's best. It seemed like Goldberg casually hit the guy with his head and wasn't anywhere close to what Goldberg is capable of doing inside the squared circle. Goldberg has delivered some of the greatest Spears in the history of this business. His Spear on Christian on an episode of WWE RAW, and the one on Nunzio during his Royal Rumble 2004 appearance, are just two among many Spears that he has convincingly connected on his opponents. Take a look at this Spear at the 3:28 mark, and judge for yourself.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
