10 Best Wrestlers Who Came Out Of The WCW Power Plant

3. Bill Goldberg

Given what happened in Saudi Arabia at WWE's Super ShowDown, a few more might scoff at Goldberg's inclusion here. Sorry, but anyone sitting there thinking he was never great is fooling themselves. When he debuted in 1997, Goldberg was a phenomenon who had fans chanting his name and treating him like a main event player from the get-go.

Before debuting on Nitro in September '97, Goldberg worked a few dark matches that turned heads. His intensity was second-to-none, and WCW management began seeing dollar signs in the rookie. He's another who was brought up from the Power Plant prematurely because of WCW's need for new stars.

It's hard to criticise their decision as foolish.

Goldberg is one of the biggest success stories in WCW history, and he's still relevant today. OK, so he might be running with less gas in the tank, but big Bill would have been effective in Saudi had WWE not tried to force a 10-minute match from him. That was never really his M.O.
