Goldberg is one of the biggest names in the history of professional wrestling. He boasted an impressive 173-0 unbeaten streak in WCW, which Kevin Nash ended in their WCW World Heavyweight Championship match at Starrcade 1998. Moreover, Goldberg isn't known for competing in long matches with the majority of his bouts relatively short throughout his career.

Despite the shortness of Goldberg's matches, a plethora of them are memorable. His Universal Championship wins over Kevin Owens and The Fiend were not well-received but fans remembered them. As were his trilogy of matches with Brock Lesnar, and his WCW encounters with the likes of Bret Hart. The WWE Hall of Famer has found himself in some unwanted predicaments in some of his forgettable matches.
10 Goldberg Vs. Randy Orton - Raw (8/18/03)
Goldberg built up plenty of momentum heading into the Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2003. Goldberg collided with Evolution's Randy Orton on the August 18, 2003 edition of Raw. Triple H and Ric Flair undertook commentary duties alongside JR and Jerry Lawler.
Steve Austin was the special enforcer, and he got involved when the referee was knocked down. Moreover, Naitch ran down the aisle and pulled Austin out of the ring. Austin took exception to that, and he knocked down Flair. Nevertheless, Goldberg connected with the Jackhammer for a solid victory.
9 Goldberg Vs. Shawn Michaels - Raw (10/20/03)
It's easy to forget that Goldberg and Shawn Michaels clashed over the World Heavyweight Championship. Both were babyfaces, and Goldberg had the upper hand, but Michaels rallied back. The Heartbreak Kid went for his patented Sweet Chin Music but Goldberg clotheslined him with authority.
Goldberg's spear intended for Michaels accidentally took down the referee. However, Batista returned from his eight-month injury layoff and he assaulted Goldberg, rejoining Evolution in the process and claiming the $100,000 bounty that Triple H put on Goldberg's head.
8 Goldberg Vs. Ric Flair - Raw (8/11/03)
Evolution had another trick up their sleeves with Randy Orton as the special guest referee in Goldberg's clash with Ric Flair. They had crossed paths once before in WCW, and Flair hit Goldberg with brass knuckles before the bell sounded. Orton fast counted Goldberg's shoulders down, every chance he got but Goldberg managed to kick out.
Orton was biased, and he would slow count Goldberg's pinfall attempts. Goldberg had seen enough and he speared Orton. Shawn Michaels made his way down to ringside, and he leveled Orton with Sweet Chin Music. Nonetheless, Goldberg hit the Jackhammer on Flair, and HBK used Orton's hands to count Flair's shoulders down on the mat.
7 Goldberg & Booker T Vs. Chris Jericho & Christian - Raw (6/12/03)
Chris Jericho and the Intercontinental Champion Christian were looking to get the upper hand on Booker T and Goldberg in their tag team match before Goldberg made his way down the aisle. Once Goldberg, got involved, he hauled Jericho over the top rope onto Christian on the outside.

This was a competitive back-and-forth tag team match. Goldberg almost connected with a spear on Jericho but Christian pulled Jericho out of harm's way. Goldberg crashed into the turnbuckle, and he sold a shoulder injury. However, Goldberg had enough in the tank to spear Jericho, and Booker nailed Christian with the Intercontinental Championship to pick up the win.
6 Goldberg Vs. Matt Hardy - Raw (1/12/04)
Goldberg returned to action on the January 12, 2004 edition of Raw to face Matt Hardy. Hardy looked like he had seen a ghost when Goldberg sauntered to the ring. Goldberg overpowered Matt with ease, and Matt had little offense. Although, he connected with a side effect.
Hardy was going for his trademark Twist of Fate but Goldberg blocked it. He was in no mood to hang around, and he steamrolled Matt with the Jackhammer enough to seal the deal.
5 Goldberg Vs. Tank Abbott - Nitro (6/5/00)
On the June 5, 2000, edition of Nitro, Goldberg was in action against Tank Abbott. Chants of "Goldberg" reverberated around the arena. Goldberg knocked Abbott down with a side kick. However, Rick Steiner made his presence felt and he nailed Goldberg with a couple of chair shots.
The chair shots barely did any damage to Goldberg as he weathered the storm. He speared Abbott and he followed it up with a Jackhammer to prevail.
4 Goldberg Vs. Scott Steiner Vs. Test - Raw (1/19/04)

Their alliance soon dissolved, and Goldberg finally caught a break when Test accidentally attacked Steiner. Ultimately, Goldberg sealed his qualification in the main event by putting Test away with the Jackhammer.
3 Goldberg Vs. Mark Henry - Raw (10/6/03)
Goldberg's World Heavyweight Championship was not at stake in his collision course with Mark Henry. The World's Strongest Man had Teddy Long and Rodney Mack in his corner. There was a caveat as Triple H put a $100,000 bounty on Goldberg's head, and Henry was determined to claim the cash.
Chants of "Goldberg" rang around the arena in the battle of the powerhouses. Goldberg gained control of the match but Mack clocked Goldberg in the back with a steel chair for the DQ finish.
2 Battle Royal - Raw (1/19/04)
The January 19, 2004 edition of Raw saw Goldberg pull double duty. He, Randy Orton, Booker T, Rob Van Dam, Chris Jericho, and Mark Henry battled in a Battle Royal and the winner would enter the 2004 Royal Rumble match as the 30th entrant. Jericho and RVD combined to take Goldberg down with a Lionsault and Five-Star Frog Splash.
That didn't deter Goldberg in the slightest, and he was in the final two with the Intercontinental Champion Randy Orton. Goldberg prevailed after he speared Orton, and he launched him over the top rope onto Batista and Ric Flair, who were the reigning World Tag Team Champions.
1 Goldberg Vs. Jonathan Coachman - Raw (1/26/04)
24 hours removed from failing to win the 2004 Royal Rumble match, Goldberg took out his frustrations on Jonathan Coachman. Goldberg and Coach were adversaries in a No DQ match but Mark Henry wrestled on Coach's behalf in the early stages. Coach smiled like a Cheshire Cat whilst Henry did his dirty work for him.
The smile was swiftly removed from Coach's face when the World's Strongest Man was out of the equation. Goldberg dragged Coach off the top rope and he executed a devastating spear. The Jackhammer put Coach out of his misery and adding insult to injury, Goldberg put his foot his on Coach for a comprehensive win.
