5 Ruthless Aggression Era stars WWE should consider for the 2018 Hall of Fame

#5 Goldberg

Goldberg is a certain future Hall of Famer

Maybe you wouldn’t associate peak Goldberg with the Ruthless Aggression Era, but it was at the start of that generation when the former Universal champion made his long-awaited WWE debut.

His one year with the company between March 2003 and March 2004 wasn’t the best, as highlighted in the Superstar’s recent ‘WWE 24’ documentary on the WWE Network, and it ended with the WrestleMania XX crowd jeering both him and Brock Lesnar in what, at the time, was their final appearances for WWE.

However, they made amends for their acrimonious 2004 departures from the company during their 2016-17 rivalry, which began with Goldberg defeating Lesnar in 86 seconds at Survivor Series and ended with "The Beast" winning the Universal title at WrestleMania 33.

Taking into account his time in WCW, Goldberg is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. And if he doesn’t get inducted in 2018, it’ll surely only be because he still has a match or two left in him as a part-time performer.
