10 Most Explosive Wrestlers Of All Time
2. Goldberg
Goldberg wasn't a pro wrestler, not really, a discourse that has somehow found its way to 2019, some 22 years removed from his debut, which all but confirms that he was a special proposition.
Goldberg as an act worked to such perfection - the Monday Night Wars were reduced to the WWF Vs. Goldberg, by 1998 - precisely because of this. He marauded through the backstage area before entering the ring; there, without even feigning for a collar and elbow tie-up, he simply cut his opponents in half with his lunging brick wall of a Spear, a move so iconic and powerful in its snap visual that it will likely endure in the business for decades to come. Nobody has ever struck it with such awesome force as the originator; those opponents only knew what had hit them when their rattled stomachs had collided with their spines.
For a man never considered a traditional, or even good pro wrestler, Goldberg sure as sh*t distilled the art: that spear, every inventive variation, earned the loudest pop with the most awe-inspiring of physical feats.
