Goldberg was "scared s***less" during match with WWE Legend

The WWE Universe knows Bill Goldberg for the work done late in his career, such as feuds with names like Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. The former NFL player made his name years earlier in WCW, where he was known for The Streak and feuds with stars like Hulk Hogan and the nWo, Diamond Dallas Page, and even Vince Russo. After working more than 300 matches, Goldberg is now sharing one concerning moment from a key match.

Goldberg's official WCW debut came in September 1997, and he won the United States Heavyweight Championship seven months later. The highest-attended Nitro was held on July 6, 1998, from Atlanta's Georgia Dome with 41,412 fans. Goldberg retained the U.S. Championship over Scott Hall in less than six minutes, and due to that win, he earned a shot at Hulk Hogan's World Heavyweight Championship in the main event. The former NFL player ended up defeating Hollywood Hogan in just over eight minutes to become a dual champion.

Goldberg's win over Hall that night was their first match, and there were several botches. Despite legitimate real-life heat, the WWE Hall of Famers had four more singles and six more multi-man bouts in WCW. Vice TV and The Rock aired the second episode of the "Who Killed WCW?" docuseries last night, and Bret Hart commented that his longtime rival was still really green in the ring, so much that he was hurting himself and the other wrestlers.

Da Man then discussed a specific botch in the middle of the ring while wrestling The Bad Guy at the Georgia Dome that night. Goldberg revealed just how inexperienced he was and how this opened his eyes to some internal methods at World Championship Wrestling:

"I'm wresting Scott Hall, and I screw a spot up... and he’s laying on the ground, and he looks up at me and he goes, 'Yo man, what are you doing?,' and my reaction was, "I don’t f*****g know what I’m doing.' You're live on television, you're in front of your fans... I was scared s**tless when I screwed that up, because I didn't know what was next. I didn't know what to do. That's when I really realized there was a lot of s**t going on, and it wasn't all from face value. So, that's when I started really smartening up to it," Bill Goldberg said.

Kevin Nash said he was happy about Goldberg's push and had no issues with him, but he does think the rising star's 174-day World Championship reign was too long. Regarding the aforementioned botch with Hall, the WWE Hall of Famer said if you can't perform something routine like that, then "you can't be the f*****g top guy" of the company.

WWE Hall of Famer on who really killed WCW

Bret Hart finally went to WCW after his seven-year tenure with WWE ended in 1997. However, Hart was forced to retire in 2000 after suffering concussions during a December 1999 match with Bill Goldberg.

During the premiere episode of "Who Killed WCW?" on Vice TV, The Hitman shared his blunt thoughts on fellow WWE Hall of Famers Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan.

"Bischoff... He remembers the big crowds, and he was the kingpin, but the truth of it is, he never knew anything about wrestling. That's the bond right there - Hogan and Bischoff, they're both accountable to each other. That's the secret, is that Hulk Hogan was basically the puppet master to Eric Bischoff, and Eric Bischoff, he was just a prop, and that's what killed WCW," Bret Hart said.

AEW's Tony Schiavone also had scathing comments about The Rock's WCW project. The Voice of WCW, who did not go to WWE after the sale, revealed the interesting reason why he refuses to watch the docuseries.
