#2 WCW Great American Bash 1998 vs. Konnan (1:57)
Trending
The previous entry happened during the rise of Bill Goldberg, but the contest that lasted less than two minutes was plucked directly from the prime of his popularity. This match happened on June 14th, 1998 and his memorable WCW Championship win against Hollywood Hulk Hogan occurred just a few short weeks later on July 6th.

To say that Goldberg was mega-over when he showed up to face Konnan at The Great American Bash would be a huge understatement.
Konnan came to the ring with his then-NWO Wolfpac buddies, Ravishing Rick Rude and Curt Hennig, the latter being the originally scheduled opponent for Bill’s United States Championship. Hennig hobbled to the ring because he suffered a leg injury and couldn’t compete in what was announced as Goldberg’s potential 100th straight victory.
Of course, Konnan lost in very short order, but the action didn’t stop for him when Goldberg left the ring. Hennig and Rude attacked Konnan because Curt’s injury was actually a ruse. They revealed that they were actually in the black and white version of NWO all along because the stable was super convoluted by that point.
At least Goldberg made sense in June of 1998.
