Goldberg was a legitimate phenomenon in the world of wrestling. Breaking through at right around the time the NWO was beginning to grow stale, Goldberg proceeded to mow down every single wrestler that was put into his path, eventually developing a 173 match winning streak that included a victory over Hulk Hogan for the WCW Championship on an episode of Monday Nitro. For many he was WCW's answer to Stone Cold Steve Austin and was a character that fans truly believed was capable of anything. His rock solid physique and spectacular feats of strength only further served to convince the fans that this was the company's top dog and the booking was such that he looked like an absolute world beater at every turn. Enter Kevin Nash. All good things must come to an end and the same can be said of Goldberg's streak. However, the streak had built up such a mystique that it had become the perfect tool to instantly make whichever wrestler eventually managed to end it. Unfortunately during this period Kevin Nash had managed to secure a position as one of the head bookers of the company and decided that there was only one person who should topple Goldberg - Kevin Nash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu1VBP4kVGY Only a year after the terrible ending to Starrcade 97, Goldberg faced off against Nash in a No Disqualification match for the title. During the course of the match, with Goldberg about to perform a spear on the challenger, Scott Hall appeared dressed as a security guard and tasered Goldberg with a stun gun. Nash won the championship and the streak had come to a disappointing end.
