  • I was there.

  • They did such a good job with Goldberg. Pretty much right up until Nash booked himself to break the streak.

  • omg i didn't believe that he did the backflip.

  • Bald Cold Jose Haustin

  • who's next ?

  • His name is Hugh Morrus? WHAT? Is that funny? Is that Humorous? LMFAO

  • Is it just me or has no one noticed that Goldberg did a f**king backflip

  • Mean Gene: "Sir i've gotta get alittle bit more than that" LOL

  • Comment removed

  • he's pretty agile for a big goldberg

  • The Birth of a legend

    the best wrestler alongside Stone Cold Steve Austin

  • That was a brilliant angle - presenting him as a nobody and he goes off on an unbeaten tear to become champion. Normally, they begin hyping up a new wrestler months in advance of their debut. It's so predictable. Nobody saw Goldberg's popularity coming.

  • the best wrestler ever

  • hugh was a way better wrestler better than baldy anyway frekin a-train on drugs

  • THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND...

  • "Goldberg wasn't that big yet i see"......well duh it was his debut. That's how you 'push' a wrestler. No intro, no nothing, presented as a jobber and boom when he won the crowd was on his nuts. Speaking of which when was Hugh Morrus that f'n popular? I remember that era and don't remember him being so popular. He was getting louder pops then 95% of today's wrestlers. And this was Nitro...

  • morrus is bill demmott

  • Apparently, Goldberg was TOUGH ENOUGH!

  • i miss him when he do flip like in 3:05

    he look cool doing that

  • This may be a stupid question, but was Demott's ring name back then a play on words? Hugh Morris=Humorous? 'Cuz I read something about how he used to tell knock-knock jokes.

  • @nascarnut18 yeah it was

  • @nascarnut18 Yeah it is a play off of Humorous...He would act all psychotic and laugh all the time...Look at his wrestling tights they have laughing faces all over them.

  • who was his second match against?

    can anybody even attempt to trace the undefeated streak? maybe we can find all the matches from it up here if we manage to put a list together of what these matches were.

    I remember the most prominent were: his debut, raven (US title), scott norton, The Giant (World Heavyweight title).

  • @martin984 I remember his second and third matches were against Barbarian and Wrath. Wrath didn't even last 30 seconds. LOL

  • Bill Goldberg, most overrated wrestler, ever.

  • @jubbles23 I hope you get hundreds of thumbs up x)

  • @jubbles23 suck eggs jubbles

  • My first experience with Goldberg predates this match. He had a dark match in Jacksonville, Florida. Everyone booed him as an Austin ripoff at the time since it seemed like WCW tried to make it clear that even though he wasn't on TV yet, he was going to be their main eventer soon enough.

  • Goldberg botches an arm wrench... nice :D

  • The best thing that's never done anymore, they never really establish a "jobber" like figure and turn him into a superstar. They REALLY played up the whole brought in from obscurity thing. Really drove home the fact that he's going to come back but you don't know what he's capable of.

  • You can tell they know about Goldberg's planned future. They keep repeating Jeez I don't know anything about this goldberg guy over and over.

  • One of the best debutes ever.

  • Probably one of the only matches he didn't use the spear.

  • @ztv Get your chant right.... it was just "Goooollldberg..Goooollldberg.­.." pft lol sorry, he was my favorite as a kid.

  • Victim #1.

  • fuck Hugh Morrus

  • I wonder if Goldberg can still do a backflip??...

  • and so the streak begins

  • Hahaha "Is he a mute?"

  • goldberg is the fucking man. he is why people want to wrestle. ijust watched raw after about a year. and so stupid, the miz realy the champ gayyyyyy. and jr number 1 contender.. soso so gay, i wass apart off wwe universe. what happend to wrestling?

  • @steventheonedudley what happened to wrestling? It started with Linda McMahon's Senate run, changing the format to family friendly. When The Rock returned to Raw on 2/14, one point he made was how the WWE changed from catch phrases from Stone Cold and himself to "You can't see me" from John Cena. Wrestling is certainly not like it was because of the liability during the attitude era.

  • @steventheonedudley Are you serious? No one wants to wrestle because of Goldberg.

  • Used his hands on the backflip but nonetheless, Goldberg is and always will be DA MAN!!

  • beautiful backflip i bet john the steroid cena can't do that shit...

  • I love his little back flip.

  • My daughter LOVES John Cena , I told her he would not last 10 minutes against Goldberg. FACT.

  • @SHOCKGIANT thats a lie, cena wont last 5!

  • @SHOCKGIANT he wouldnt last 5 cuz goldberg beat alot of people under 5 minutes

  • @SHOCKGIANT I dont think Goldberg could last 2 min w/Cena. Just give him a microphone and he's so unbearable Goldberg would undoubtedly surrender

  • @SHOCKGIANT 10 minutes is a long time 35 seconds, tops

  • @SHOCKGIANT It's professional wrestling. I'm sure a match would last longer with such stars in the ring. FACT.

  • I like how Goldberg tries to get up at 2:34, then lays there for like 15 seconds before taking a No Laughing Matter.

  • Nothing Different than Any Other Goldberg Match, 5 minutes, spear and Jack Hammer. Just No Kick Ass Entrance

  • What a magical beginning. Goldberg was basically appearing to be a jobber. After that backflip, he was GOLDBERG. He was over from the start

  • lol i love that backflip Goldberg did.

  • @brannengarrett Its amazing he can do a backflip!

  • 1-0. One of my all-time favorite pro wrestlers. Goldberg is awesome!

  • Goldberg is proof that some(hell many) wrestlers can not be made with silly gimmicks,storylines or entrances.They have to get over in the ring.Goldberg didnt have a flash move set nor did he have flashy attire.He was strong as hell,he had regular ring trunks and he was simply in the right company.

  • the man bill goldberg began the longest undefeated streak in pro wrestling history this night.

  • Goldberg + TNA = No.1

  • @Madness7764 I wish to God that would happen i really don't care where he goes i just want him to come back

  • One of WCW greatist achivments was Bill Goldberg.

  • The best that ever happend to wcw.

  • i see he only added the spear later on...about match 10 or 15 cos i didnt see it in the early matches...

  • @ROYDORO he used it vs Wrath i think that was his 4th match

  • I loved the way that WCW did this. Although Goldberg was obviously a little too big to be a jobber, they only played Morrus' intro and presented this as a squash match went wrong.

    It's cool amogst the IWC to always point out the silly things WCW did, but I wish more people would defend them on the things they did right.

  • He is most powerful wrestler as compare to Triple h,The Rock,Brett Heart,Undertaker,Brock lesner,Kurt Angle,Stone Cold....he beats all this big wrestlers.....he is real Hulk the Living hulk..........We miss u Goldberg please com back.

  • Chad, Bischoff WAS a good writer! But he's ALSO 1 reason WCW REALLY died! Ted Turner gave him an OPEN CHECKBOOK, an Bischoff gave the wrestlers GUARENTEED SALARIES, while wwf gave them PERCENTAGES of the take at the gate and PPV, depending on where you were on the card, main event, mid card wrestler or what. But Bischoff more than DOUBLED the money some of those wrestlers got from wwf. And like I said, it was GUARENTEED! And the contracts were like about 2 years or more, some were less.

  • I remember watching this the night it aired and not being the least bit surprised that Goldberg won. He didn't have the look of a jobber.

  • The MAN!

  • Talk about an impact.

  • Russo Rizzo IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HIS NAME IS! Why was I watching this and why do I have a opion on who was booking WCW at the time. I'm LAME!

  • It is interesting to remember that in December 2000 Goldberg came out with almost all wrestlers while Morrus was holding very emotional speach about future of Misfits In Action and his own future. That was first time Morrus gained respect from both fans and other wrestlers. Goldberg then took a mic and said immortal words: "Hey, Goldberg's streak had to start somewhere, my friend". From then on Goldberg and Morrus have become very close friends both on and off screen and that lasts to this day

  • I read somewhere that before he was "Goldberg" Bill was a jobber in WCW. I read that he lost to Vincent on Saturday Night. I also read he had a match against Roddy Piper and he had long red hair.

  • @Rollermacka kind of right he lost to chad fortune his character name was Bill Gold. He never made it to the ring some box knocked him down.

  • one of the worst matches I think I've ever seen

  • Damn i actually remember watching this. i was 10

  • @MrSpiderman14

    Goldberg was big, but is all part of the entertainment, he cant be a badass in his first match..

  • lol "is he a mute"?

  • on his debut he didnt look real pissed like on his other matches he was all like eeeeh what the hell Ill kick his ass

  • why did goldberg do a backflip?????

  • @JosephYosephxJx it was a mock.

  • @ChadBurk4420 it was strange, a destructive guy like him shouldnt do that stuff

  • @JosephYosephxJx a destructive character?

  • @ChadBurk4420 the character went on to be the biggest in the company's history, so he should be cool and intimidating at all times, backflips take away his fear factor

  • @JosephYosephxJx To me it seemed like it said "I got your backflip MOTHER F*CKER!" But, at that time the creative writting in the back was a little off but, not as bad as it got with Rizzo.

  • @ChadBurk4420 guess it could be seen that way, and yeah, the only time creative was any good was with bischoff, the others are the reason wcw died

  • I really miss the 90's

  • It's "Hugh Morris" (humorous) cuz Bill Goldberg looked like a heel in this video! Plus, it was funny when Larry Zbyszko said "Is he a mute?" at the end...LOL!

  • born in salt lake city baby!

  • im gonna try to do this in TWE and take some guy unkown and put him over lol

  • It's always funny to see someones first match.

  • Pause 4:13 that guy looks like sting

  • Goldberg wasn't that big yet i see. My fav wrestler of all time

  • @MrSpiderman14 Ha, this was his first match ever dude... lol

  • @rmr355 yea i know i just thought there was a possibilty wcw had him pumped up before his debut instead of working with him during the start of his career

  • @MrSpiderman14

    It was his first live match.

  • @MrSpiderman14

    the reason why he wasnt that big yet was b/c this was his debut

  • @MrSpiderman14 thanks for saying so. it is true. he was the best of all time. No hogan, nobody else. It was Goldberg all the way.

  • Is he a mute?...haha

  • he wasnt that pumped yet.

  • 3:05 that backflip xD

  • this is Bill Goldberg's very first fight at the start of his stardom. Be thankful that Hugh Morris started him off even Bill Goldberg himself acknowledged that fact.

  • correction.......this is his first pretend fight.....wrestling is preplanned moron

  • I would agree that wresting is preplanned but I bet the blood and sweat including injuries and the performance errors resulting in handicaps and the dexterity involved is NOT fake. With that being said though preplanned as you say, it's a high price for the sake of entertaining the crowds like you moron. Even a moron can see and appreciate the fake performance just to entertain a moron like you.

  • go to Brazil and look up the Vale Tudo, THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT

  • changing the subject? okay wresting vs Vale Tudo which is apples and oranges. Just hang this up and just stick to your favorites instead of dissing something that is actually a real entertainment that you just watched now like the rest of us. Like this clip here. Not calling me a Moron? I guess it's just one moron to another moron like you.

  • then stick your nose on your real entertainment and don't be sticking it anywhere else you fake lover. Your a phony and a secret-closet fake lover. Face it you call me a moron and you change subjects on me so it's really clear who the real moron here is. For the second time why don't you just hang it up and save your dignity and your face.

  • ok, first I'm not changing subjects........secondly I'm not a "fake lover".....third, how long did it take your mother to come up with that FAILING comment? Bill Goldberg was a LOT better as an Atlanta Falcon football player,and at best a Georgia Bulldog..

  • La de da closet fake lover. Ah now were talking about Goldberg so you do watch Goldberg as a wrestler such a faker. You didn't change subjects? You were talking wrestling being preplanned, then you moved to Vale Tudo, now your back to Goldberg who just happens to be one of the biggest wrestling stars more legendary than a football player. Get your facts straight moron your going in circles. Your actually a wrestling fan just in denial.

  • how could anyone watch Goldberg as a wrestler? he no longer wrestles......and it's a fact he is a former Georgia Bulldog and former Atlanta Falcon.....he really bit the big one when he went into FAKE "WRASSLIN"

  • so you do admit your a closet faker. Bill Goldberg didn't have to join fake "wrasslin" but he did so thank you for admiting that. He made fake wrasslin better and you watched it like this clip as I stated before. So thanks for pointing it out.

  • "Is he a mute?" Larry Zabysko is a fuckin idiot.

  • Bill Goldberg! Bill Goldberg! Bill Goldberg!

  • fn historic i remember when i saw this match.....i said that guy is gonna be big

  • Goldberg is the best.

    Who's next?

  • new borned legend

  • So freaking awesome.

  • Goldberg looked back then like a real MMA fighter, but over the years he´d got bigger.

  • Jesus Christ, look how skinny Goldberg looked here compared to his days in the late 90's and early 00's. You can always tell if a guy is bigger or smaller in comparison by looking at two things: his neck (does he have one?..) and his ears (how small are they compared to the rest of his head?). Take a look at Kurt Angle these days for a shocker.

  • lol

  • 3:05

  • do some fucking research and then go to grammar class.

  • y does everyone have to curse on youtube? im not a fan of Hugh Morrus so what? and wow i put no instead of know who cares?

  • Take nothing away from Hugh Morrus. For a big guy, he was quite the gifted athlete. Goldberg's first opponent wasn't exactly a scrub.

  • I love how the fans started cheering him in his first match. Try and see that happen today in the wwe.

  • WCW IS LIKE TNA

  • Um no wcw is nothing like TNA.

  • you got it wrong one TNA is nothing compared what WCW use to be so WCW is not like TNA because there is no more WCW but TNA just have alot of old WCW guys in and behind the scenes.

  • goldberg is my fav wrestler of all time and he debut in utah mt hometown and my mom was there

  • You got your day and month backwards

  • Maybe the poster is European? In which case he's correct. Learn a little.

  • In Europe and Asia(?), the date comes first, then the month.

  • right from the start i think everyone who worked in wcw knew he would get a huge push.

  • damn, golderg was a destined to be a great one, he made the crowd like him in his first match. goldberg was legend the first 3 minutes of his first match.

  • Tenay stumped??? Who would thunk it?

  • and a legend was born

  • @zunkfunkt then WWE Killed it

  • @zunkfunkt no not a legend a wrestler GOD

  • Goldberg is not returning to wrestling. He is the host of a tv show on Fox8 and interviews fighters in the UFC. He has lost so much weight but is still a good guy.He did say he was thinking about getting back into shape again.

  • yeah he always says if he was 10 years young hed be in the UFC

  • I saw this when it came on too, i got really excited for a while about goldberg, but wcw just seemed to never go anywhere. the whole nwo thing got REALLY old.

  • wtf is he a mute lol

  • I loved Hugh Morrus. Great big-man wrestler.

  • wow...i remember watching this when it came on(when i still watched wrestling)...was like "shit! he kicked out of the no laughing matter!?!" knew this guy was going to be the shit from that point on...

  • Also, does anybody find it convenient that at 0:46, a sign saying

    'R etired'

    'A wful'

    'W restlers'

    ?

    Funny, that WAS WCW in 2 years time.

  • where is goldberg now?

  • I heard he's coming back to wrestling in 2009. Not sure in what capacity or organization as I haven't been following wrestling for some time and just now starting to check out older vids on youtube...good stuff.

  • thanks for the info

  • He's not... he said himself he just doesn't wanna do it anymore... even if he did, dude he's like 230 lbs now he wouldn't be kick ass anymore

  • No he's not coming back. He has his own show now and is involved in UFC. Plus he has a wife and a kid. He's a good guy. I loved golberg.

  • he's working on cars and stuff

  • He thought about TNA if he got creative control and the money he wanted. But he's still involved with his charities, acting, and is into classic musclecars.

  • GOLDBERG IS THE MEN !

  • i miss goldberg !! i wish he never left wwe

  • same here

  • SO THIS IS #1!AND THEN A 143 MORE AND A WORLD TITLE!!!:D Goldberg's great!!

  • 176 actually

  • 173!!not 43!

  • sorry i said 176 was a typo your right haha

  • actually 175 more

  • Does it really matter!?

  • naaah:P just saying

  • does anyone have a video of goldbergs real first match against vincent of the nwo on saturday night?

  • I remember that match so well. One of the best debuts of all time. I was a Goldberg fan from that moment on. Morris made Goldberg look like a pimp.

    I liked Morris and when I saw Goldberg kick out of the moonsault and then man handle the big man and then hit him with the jackhammer was very exciting. Thanks for posting

  • Goldberg Goldberg Goldberg Goldberg Goldberg
