Truth be told, by the time Goldberg finally arrived in World Wrestling Entertainment it was too late. As WCW's most popular superstar, Billy Boy needed to come in with the Invasion story, but this popularity meant he was simply too expensive for Vince McMahon to bring in. Two years would pass before he finally did.

Whether it was too later or not, Goldberg's debut is still one of the most memorable in WWE history. It was the night after WrestleMania XIX, and The Rock was in the centre of the ring celebrating his Mania victory over Stone Cold Steve Austin, thus ending their epic trilogy. Goldberg would interrupt however, inform Rocky that he was indeed the next name on the list, and deliver a spear to Dwayne that was felt throughout the arena.

Goldberg would win the Big Gold Belt a few months after making his debut, but within a year he would be gone from professional wrestling entirely.
