At the peak of The Attitude Era, Goldberg had become one of the most popular Superstars in both WCW and WWE. On an episode of Monday Nitro in 1998, the fans roared in unison as Goldberg faced off against The Giant in a marquee match.
After slugging it out for a while, the match neared its end.
No one believed that it could happen, but Goldberg managed to lift The Giant on his shoulders, keep him at the same position for a second, and then drop him to the mat to a thunderous sea of cheers.
The crowd couldn't believe what they had just seen. This is widely regarded as the greatest feat of strength a wrestler has ever displayed.

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.
