10 Reasons Kevin Nash Deserves To Be In The WWE Hall Of Fame

10. He Ended Goldberg's Undefeated Streak

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu1VBP4kVGY Then-leader of New World Order (nWo) spinoff The Wolfpac, Nash was one of WCW€™s most popular stars in 1998. Some could argue that the only WCW attraction more popular than Big Sexy that year was a force of nature known as Goldberg. Amassing a win-loss record of 173-0, Goldberg was the hottest thing on two legs with the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in tow. It didn€™t seem like anyone could stop him. Come November, at the conclusion of World War 3 €“ WCW€™s annual sixty-man, three-ring Battle Royal €“ a perfect storm had formed. Nash outlasted 59 other men to earn a shot at Goldberg€™s title at Starrcade. The stage was set for a No Disqualification Match with the title up for grabs. The showdown came and after ten minutes of action and a little bit of interference, Goldberg had Nash right where he wanted him€ until Scott Hall, Nash€™s long-time running partner, hopped up on the apron and shocked Goldberg with a stun gun. Nash grabbed Goldberg, hit the Jacknife, and gave us one of the biggest kayfabe shockers of all-time. 173-1. Maybe the tactics the led to the victory were a little suspect, but on paper the results will read €œKevin Nash defeated Goldberg for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.€ Besides, Scott Hall using a stun gun was well within the rules of a No Disqualification Match. Behind the scenes, fans believe that Nash booked himself into the position, as it has since become knowledge that he was once responsible for WCW€™s storylines as a booker. However, Nash and others in the know maintain that he did not receive that position until a few months after Starrcade.
