When did Goldberg start doing WWE? During the 18 month period that I loved Wrestling Goldberg was on the family friendly WCW.

I assume they all went over to WWE whenever WCW stopped?

Goldberg was the top star and public face of World Championship Wrestling (WCW) at the peak of the Monday Night Wars.[9][10][11] Goldberg rose to fame in WCW with a lengthy undefeated streak in singles competition from 1997 to 1998, which was considered the longest winning streak in professional wrestling until Asuka surpassed it in 2017.[12][13] During this time, he became WCW United States Champion and WCW World Heavyweight Champion. He was also a one-time WCW World Tag Team Champion (with Bret Hart), making him along with Hart the fifth WCW Triple Crown winner. Following WCW's closure in 2001, Goldberg wrestled for All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) between 2002 and 2003, and for WWE between 2003 and 2004, becoming a one-time World Heavyweight Champion in the latter. After twelve years away from the company, he returned to WWE in 2016 and headlined Survivor Series against Brock Lesnar and Fastlane against Kevin Owens, where he won the WWE Universal Championship, his third world title. Goldberg headlined multiple pay-per-view events for WCW and WWE, including twice closing WCW's premier annual event at, Starrcade 1998 and 1999, as well as closing "Eight" pay-per-view events of WWE such as SummerSlam 2003, Survivor Series 2003 and 2016. Backlash 2003 Unforgiven 2003 Armageddon 2003 Royal Rumble 2004 and 2017 He is the only person to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, WWE's World Heavyweight Championship, and the WWE Universal Championship. He will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2018 the weekend of WrestleMania 34.

Watch it with your “prestigious.” Our President is in the WWE HOF. It’s legit.

Goldberg was the reason I got into Wrestling when I was a kid. I didn't even know he was a former Dawg till later. Weird seeing him in old UGA interviews with hair lol.

He had a brief return in 2016-2017 where he defeated Brock Lesner in like 30 seconds, eliminated Lesner at the Royal Rumble, won the Universal title, then lost the title to Lesner at Wrestlemania

I'm not sure you can really "win" something that has a scripted outcome.

I've never been into wrestling outside of the time I watched Goldberg in his prime. That dude was amazing.

And for Goldberg fans, he does a weekly Carcast podcast with Matt D'Andria.

Dude is Way into cars. Like way way way into cars. Here's some pictures of his garage.

Flair counts for us. He has an honorary degree and was a fan before Spurrier (and way before he started whoring himself out for money).
