In the ten years that I have been watching professional wrestling, I was always more of a WWE fan. However, there was one guy that made me want to tune into Nitro, and that was Goldberg. Goldberg has been a favorite wrestler of mine ever since he debuted back in September of 1997. He may not be the most technically sound wrestler of all time, but his strength and intensity are unmatched. He was the first wrestler I have ever seen to become so popular soley based on what he did in the ring. He did not have to come out and cut promo after promo like Austin and The Rock. He spoke through violence in the ring. Perhaps the most amazing thing about Goldberg, is the fact that he became the most popular man in wrestling in less than a year's time amassing a win-loss record of 176-0.

Ever since Goldberg debuted in the WWE in March of 2003, the WWE have not released any videos or DVD's on him. He has captured the hearts of a lot of WWE fans, but some don't know the history behind Goldberg, or how he became such a huge star. If you were a fan of Goldberg's back in WCW, or you just started liking him in the WWE, this video is a must own. It takes you step by step through Goldberg's career from his debut in WCW, to after he won the title from Hulk Hogan. Goldberg comments on different aspects of his career through interviews, and a lot of different footage in shown as well.

Overall, I thought this video was very well done, and extremely informative. It continues to be one of my favorite wrestling documentaries. If you are fan of Goldberg, pick this one up.

A solid 5 stars...

tHE VIDEO IS GOOD, BECAUSE IT HAD GOLDBERG AND HIS EXCELLENT CAREER. gOLDBERG had the best rookie year of his life. it took stonecol over 8 years to get to the top. If goldberg can do what he did and produce a video on himself he is da man!I think this video is great becaus eit has all of his most impressive matches. I was looking for the ladder match against scot hole which is considered one of the best ladder matches in not just wcw history, but wrestling history. (Quoted by TONY "surge" doublechin Shivanni) I was also looking for the exclusive footage when he speared brethart and hart had a piece of metal in his shirt.I think the video should be updated, like have the match from the 4-19-99 nitro with ddp.

I haven't watched wrestling in about ten years, which was kind of strange when fate chose me to preview this video before it's release. My, my, has wrestling changed. I was very impressed with Goldberg. This video is great. It gives you a feel for the type of ring presence Goldberg has. It also shows some pretty good action, like the Raven match and the Sting match. It ends right before his Halloween Havoc match with DDP, the last match on the tape being Sting. I thought this video was great but I haven't seen any other ones so I'm a bit uneducated. Check it out yourself.

This video doesn't show enough highlights, it also dosen't show very recent events that Goldberg has wrestled in.

being a die-hard wcw fan as i am you have to love this video,goldberg is a machine,and this video does a great job of showcasing that,in an era where wcw ruled the creation of this monster was a great move,shows great highlights of all the 2nd rate wrestlers he ran through like nothing,if i were to say anything it's missing...unfortunately this video was made before halloween havoc '98 and starcade '98 where DDP took goldberg to the absolute limit as only page can,and where the infamous tazer gun lead to his first loss to nash,but definately buy this video,vicious spears,powerful jackhammers,simply just 2 saaaweeeeeeet,buy it folks,a must have of one of the most memorable and intrigueing wrestlers in history....HOLLA...if ya hear me!

This is a retrospect of Goldberg's wrestling career when he was the "in" thing in the world of professional wrestling. Bill kept adding to his undefeated streak (we don't see his loss to Kevin Nash) and keeping the fans excited. Yes, this was a period during WCW's better days. Too bad thigs didn't work out at the front office or Goldberg and WCW would still be a serious threat to WWE today! Still, don't rule out Goldberg vs. Rock at some point in the future!

This is a great video for Goldberg and WCW fans alike. It has an in depth interveiw with the man Bill Goldberg and shows some of his greatest matches including when he won the title from Hogan.

Thanks to a friend of mine finally cleaning out his garage, I was given a bunch of old VHS tapes including this one that was one of the many "WCW Superstar Series" that WCW started releasing around 1998 that ran around an hour long. This VHS was different than most of the others they put out around this time as this was mostly just an interview with Goldberg about different elements of his character such as his signature moves, the entrance, the fans chanting his name, and memories of his WCW career up to that point with highlights being shown of them along with other "in character" comments from other WCW talents. Highlights of his career include his debut match against Hugh Morris, the feud with fellow NFL alumni Steve McMichael, his war with the Flock & U.S. title victory over Raven, his 100th victory over Konnan, the night he went through both Scott Hall & Hollywood Hogan to win the WCW Championship, his first battle royal & confrontation with Giant, his first match against Sting on Nitro.

At this point, Goldberg was only in WCW for around a year so they did a good job in covering that year on here as this was definitely when Goldberg was at the peak of his career. To this day, this is a DVD that would still have value as none of the matches outside of the WCW Title win over Hogan has been released in full onto DVD so this is a tape that is worthy of being added to the collection. As a side note, if you want an idea of just how unorganized WCW was at this time...the lead announcer at this time was Tony Schavone yet they spelled his name wrong while referring to Disco Inferno under the name "Disco Fever."

GOLDBERG WHAT CAN I SAY,2 MINUTE MATCHES...100-0 RECORD,HE WAS THE MAN.HIS STRENGTH ,ABILITY, WRESTLING SKILL SHOWS IT ALL.THELL NEVER BE ANOTHER GOLDBERG.THE FANS LIKED HIM.THE NWO HATED HIM.THAT WAS A GOOD RIVALRY..IT WAS GOOD TIMES BACK THEN.GET THIS BECAUSE GOLDBERG .WITH ALL MUSCLE SHOWING IS AWESOME.

I give the tape two thumbs up for originality and the fact that it recaps all of goldbergs matches uptodate in wcw. EAT your heart out wwf,your imitation stonecoldberg is no match if he was to get hoisted up in the jackhammer and speared through the mat with the most electrifying move since Hollywood hogans legdrop.If siskel and ebert were still around, they would give it 2 thumbs up!
