Goldberg's 10 Best Moments Ever
9. The Bounty
After Goldberg captured the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Triple H, he was a marked man. Hunter wanted someone to do his dirty work him, so he placed a price tag on his adversary’s head to the tune of $100,000.
To collect the money was easy (or so Hunter seemed to think); all somebody had to do was put Goldberg out of action. To make things more dangerous for the new champ, the bounty could be collected anywhere - a parking lot, backstage, a bathroom, at a gas station...anywhere!
What ensued was a variety of wrestlers trying their best to take the champ out. Stevie Richards, Mark Henry, Rodney Mack, and Tommy Dreamer all gave it a shot, but each one came up short, and probably regretted their decision.
Then during a Shawn Michaels vs. Goldberg match on Raw, Batista came to collect. He disposed of HBK, then went to town beating up the Heavyweight Champ. He gave him a spinebuster, a Batista Bomb and then snapped his ankle with a chair. Triple H was impressed enough to hand him the cash. It was a fun angle that gave Batista a bit of a rub and set up Goldberg as a sympathetic face out for revenge.
Goldberg ended up returning to action a few weeks later, so perhaps Triple H asked for a bit of a refund on that payment.
