Months before he would finally capture the big one, DDP just came up short against the man machine, Bill Goldberg at Halloween Havoc 1998. At this point, Goldberg was a much better worker than he had been earlier in the year, but he still had limitations, and it's a real credit to Page that he was able to bring the best out in the guy. Unbelievably, a lot of fans ordering on Pay-Per-View didn't even see this one, because the show was running over the scheduled time, and thus PPV providers cut the stream off early, meaning a lot of people watching were left with a bad taste in their mouths. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x48cpe_halloween-havoc-1998-goldberg-vs-dd_sport Hogan vs. Warrior II had happened right before this one, over-running slightly, and WCW were forced to air the DDP vs. Goldberg match for free on Nitro the next night, trying to appease fans who felt ripped off by the fact their purchase cut out right before the World Title match.
