    Note, I'll go into great detail with the whole Goldberg/Russo thing in a future video. With regards to the run, Bill did not enjoy it, add to that, it's really forgettable. They were hyping up something special for the Bash and the heel turn ended up being that. It was a surprise but not really a welcomed one. Positive from it was the fact that Goldberg seemed more vicious than ever. What did you think of the heel turn?

    I feel like Goldberg's good as both a face and a heel, but the thing is at this point, Goldberg didn't need to turn heel,, WCW was falling and a babyface Goldberg with maybe a reinvented undefeated streak could've helped them.

      They tried that a few months after this heel turn and it failed

    Always thought adding gta letters at the intro was a cool touch. Really just sets the mood. Not sure if I’m weird for that lol.

      same. It seem like 90% of the WCW roster was just stacked with heels then with that most if not all of them being NWO members.

    • @wrestlingspremier
      @wrestlingspremier  3 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      I think it was Chris Jericho who said it best. Not being in the nWo back then was unique.

    That Goldberg promo on Hall sounded fire. That's why I liked WCW... the main plot might've been dumb as fuck, but you would get an interesting side feud every now and then and the promos were great. Scott Steiner alone had smoke for EVERYBODY.

    I remember Goldbergs heel turn and I knew it was never going to work just like when they turned sting heel. You can't turn guys like that heel because they are bonafide faces.

    • @nic8577
      @nic8577 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think sting did good work as a heel. especially in TNA. Hogan was also a bonafide babyface and his heel turn was amazing

      Russo just talking out his backside again and using revisionist history. It's just like how he now claims the brawl for all idea was because he wanted to teach the "bully" Bradshaw a lesson when in '98 Bradshaw wasn't even considered mid-card and didn't have the power to bully anyone.

    Fans didn't want to hate Goldberg. Same as they did Stone Cold Steve Austin the following year. While Austin later admitted that turning heel was a bad career move,he was at least committed to the new direction of his character. Goldberg didn't even give his heel turn that much

  • @massivemedia4138
    @massivemedia4138 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wait a minute.. Goldberg started out a heel as a hit man against Steve Mcmichaels for Debra.. so no he wasn’t always a baby face. The crowd just started to pop for Goldberg so they eventually tried to go back to that route to make him as he originally was…

    It was really mostly a bad idea in execution and timing. You have him looking evil destroying a cancer survivor Jim Duggan. Then you have him take a powder and act like a chickenshit heel sometimes. Make him look weak vs. Nash and even have Booker T defeat him. All the fans really wanted was for Bill to be world champion again. And I was laughing so hard from your reactions to Goldberg and Nash's shoot interviews.
