The walk to the arena, flanked by police hired to keep him from ripping the other wrestlers apart.

The awe-inspiring entrance that saw him standing in the center of pyro, then breathing the smoke like a pissed-off dragon.

The matches that lasted mere minutes and ended with a spear and spine-crushing Jackhammer.

All of those elements combined to make one of the coolest and most intimidating presences in professional wrestling history. Bill Goldberg, a green wrestler formerly of the National Football League, made up for his lack of in-ring experience with a captivating presence that forced WCW fans to sit up and take notice.

The way he tore through the competition en route to a 173-0 winning record left fans basking in his coolness. Like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was for WWE, Goldberg emerged as the franchise star for WWE. He may not have drank beer or flipped middle fingers but he certainly whooped ass and the WCW fans responded in kind.
