5 Dream WWE Matches Even Saudi Arabia (Probably) Can't Even Afford

2. Steve Austin Vs. Goldberg

GOLDBERG AUSTIN SAUDI
WWE

The biggest dream match of the late nineties, arguably ever, and it'll be staying as just that: a dream.

Both bald bad asses with goatees, the comparisons didn't stop there, as both were the main attractions of their respective wrestling promotions - WWE and WCW - during wrestling's hottest period. Fans would have loved nothing more than to see who was the better man in the ring, but by the time WCW had folded and the stars found themselves under the same umbrella, 'Stone Cold's' retirement had already transpired.

To put salt on the wounds, it was a mere 24 hours after 'The Texas Rattlesnake' had fought his last match - at WrestleMania 19 - that Goldberg made his debut for WWE. During Goldberg's first stint for the wrestling juggernaut, 'The Bionic Redneck' was still a presence on TV, acting as an authority figure. To really tease fans, the two titans of the sport even exchanged finishers, with Austin suffering an accidental sphere on Raw and Goldberg going down to a stunner at WrestleMania 20.

That's all those confrontations were though: teases. And sadly, all they ever will be. Goldberg did make a recent comeback for a big Saudi payday, but things didn't go as planned thanks to Bill suffering a concussion during the match. While he might want to rectify that at some point, Austin has been steadfast about being one of the few veterans to actually stick to their retirement, with no amount of cash able to tempt him.
