10 Best WWE Rookie Years

Goldberg was far from a rookie when he entered his first year with WWE in 2003. The 36-year-old had already been a world champion in disbanded WCW, where he also racked up the longest winning streak in professional wrestling history and won the hearts of a devoted fanbase eager to see him resume his wrestling career up north.

There was no way you couldn't have a man of Goldberg's ilk steamroll his way through most of the roster from day one, and although his matches were often longer than the squash-heavy run he had in WCW, it was only a matter of time before the former football player took aim at some of WWE's biggest stars. Inside one year, he had recorded clean victories over The Rock, Brock Lesnar, and Triple H - beating the latter to win his second world title at Unforgiven.
