In Scott Hall’s words, Goldberg became a huge mark for himself who didn’t like to lose. His 173-0 match win record is something that will probably never be broken. It also resulted in the best business WCW ever did.
However, here’s the burning question! Did Goldberg really win 173 matches? In reality, the number was significantly smaller.
Long time fans of WCW noticed discrepancies between the number of matches Goldberg was supposed to have wrestled and the ones that he actually did! Goldberg’s desire to win every single match resulted in WCW feeding the audience with some unrealistic numbers.

Even house show numbers did not add up (most top WCW talent never even showed up for house shows). Goldberg’s gluttony led to yet another sin - the sin of telling lies!
Journalists speculate that the actual number was more along the figure of 155-0, and definitely not 173-0.
