By 1998, the WWF had seized full control of the Monday Night Wars all thanks to their top star in the form of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and his heated, iconic rivalry against company chairman Vince McMahon.
With a strong mid-card featuring the likes of The Rock and Triple H, WWF was pretty much dominating the WCW, who on the other hand, were struggling to keep up after the nWo had dominated the company for two straight years.
By this point, almost every single big superstar in WCW was a part of the nWo, expect one certain man known as Bill Goldberg!
With WWF dominating the WCW and The Monday Night Wars, WCW's only hope at that point of time was Bill Goldberg, as he started what was an intense rivalry against the nWo's dominance.
Since making his debut for WCW, Goldberg's rise to the top was nothing short of spectacular, as he quickly cemented his place as one of the all-time greats to ever grace the squared circle, having compiled an undefeated streak of 173 matches in WCW.
However, it wasn't until 1998, when Goldberg first won the WCW World Championship, when he first defeated nWo member Scott Hall, then followed it up with an iconic win over Hulk Hogan to capture the big gold belt, in front of 40,000 in attendance on an episode on Nitro.
