No one ever mentions it, but some Goldberg's best matches were with Saturn. I love Goldberg but admittedly some of his matches for whatever reason where just not that well put together. But his matches with Saturn, were long, lots of moves and really well paced for great endings.

@BlueSkyeReynolds sorry but I have no idea what you're talking about. Goldberg was insanely over at this time and I thought this match was very good. Goldberg needed more long matches like this before becoming world champ. This made Saturn look good as well because of how much offense he got in.

that Jackhammer WAS one helluva display of strength! Perry Saturn was not a small man and despite nearly dropping him when he got him in position, Goldberg still pulled it off. That's all back strength. It's 13 years later and I still remember that Jackhammer specifically.

This match, despite the couple of apparently botched moves, was one of Goldberg's best pure wrestling matches.

Goldberg is the best wrestler ever, then The Rock. Stone Cold was ok but murdered tons of people with the stunner. Sting, Kevin Nash, & Others were alright.

I think Goldberg is about to hit the attitude adjustment at 4:27 lol.

@Adambomb87 I still feel that they were too excessive about it. Saturn's credibility as a competitor may have been a worthy sacrifice, but it was an unnecessary one. Saturn could have scored a near fall or two and the crowd would have gone just as wild when Goldberg won.

Goldberg continually kicking out at one didn't make him look powerful. (We already know he's powerful.) It just made Saturn look weak.

@BlueSkyeReynolds That's how wrestling works: guys drop on the card to put the new main event guy over. Everyone can't stay at the same level...unless you work in TNA but they don't exactly care about actually being profitable. Taker, Hogan, Warrior, Goldberg, Muta, & Lesnar all prove that the invincible monster gimmick can work and get a guy to the top. Making a top star by jobbing out midcarders is well worth it because the star will then increase interest and draw money for the promotion.

@Adambomb87 Most of Undertaker's early victims were made to look bad by comparison. His career skyrocketed, yes, but the individuals who failed to make a dent in his armor often dropped down the card substantially. Eventually, they had to tone him down because his undead gimmick simply wasn't flexible. You couldn't make a main eventer out of someone who wouldn't flinch when struck with a tire iron. And there were times when Hogan's power ups devalued his opponents as well.
