During the initial days of the Monday Night Wars, both WWF and WCW had several top superstars in their ranks, however, both the respective companies had one particular superstar who stood head and shoulders above the rest of the roster in the form of ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and Goldberg.
Both Austin and Goldberg were arguably two of the biggest and popular superstars for their respective companies during the Attitude Era and every time either man entered the arena, the crowd would go absolutely berserk. Initially, it seemed like a clash between Austin and Goldberg was next to impossible, but after WCW eventually went out of business, several top stars from the company eventually made the jump to the WWE, thus giving us hope of the fact that maybe a dream match between Austin and Goldberg was indeed on the cards.
However, following Austin’s retirement from in-ring competition after WrestleMania XIX, the closest we got to was ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ refereeing the first match between Lesnar and Goldberg at WrestleMania 20.
