Top Ten: WWE Superstar Debuts

October 14, 2011

Number 5: Goldberg: March 31, 2003 WWE Monday Night Raw

Fresh off of a victory at WrestleMania 19 against Stone Cold, The Rock proclaimed that he has beaten everyone. There was nobody else he needed to beat. The music hit, the camera cut backstage to see the walk of one Bill Goldberg. Strapped in a leather Harley Davidson jacket, Goldberg got the pyro, the music, and the spectacle of interrupting The Great One. They circle the ring, Goldberg says The Rock is Next! He hits a spear, and stands over The Rock. WCW was carried by veterans in the beginning, but the success and rise of a young superstar like Goldberg gave them an upper hand for over a year. When Goldberg debuted on WWE TV, it was one of the final pieces to be put into place. This also was timed perfectly, as he was not seen in 2002-2003 unless you watched New Japan wrestling. Goldberg, in the WWE, even though short lived, was a shock and a success.

Golderg Stats: 174 match winning streak, 2 World Championships, 2 United States Championships, 1 Time Tag Team Championship
