10 Wrestlers Who Had Their Trigger Pulled Way Too Late
1. Goldberg
When Goldberg first arrived in WWE in 2003, he was top real estate. He'd been missing from the wrestling scene for a few years, but people still remembered him as one of WCW's biggest ever stars and as a force to be reckoned with in the ring.
Goldberg then went undefeated for half a year, beating top names like The Rock, Chris Jericho and, umm, Three Minute Warning.
Sadly, Bill's luck ran out when he entered the second ever Elimination Chamber match at SummerSlam as one of the five names vying to take the World Heavyweight Championship away from Triple H.
Goldberg was popular, he was on a winning streak, and he'd been booked to look dominant in the match itself. He had to win the match, right? Right? Tired of this joke yet?
Triple H used the most powerful move in his arsenal - The Backstage Influence - and snapped Goldberg's undefeated streak to retain the gold. Big Bill's momentum was stopped dead and even a world title win a month later couldn't get it going again. His WWE career was dead in the water.
The Reign of Terror was a terrible thing and no amount of NXT can ever make up for that.
