10 Forgotten Wrestling War Moments

4. Triple H vs. Goldberg

Come June of 2000, the would-be Monday Night Wars were, for all intents and purposes, long over. 

WWE was on fire, while WCW (and ECW for that matter) were circling the drain. 

The distance between Raw and Nitro was vast, but the distance between Triple H and Bill Goldberg was pretty short when they both attended the same licensing fair in New York that month. 

Da Man had been seething at the Cerebral Assassin since Helmsley made some negative comments about him in interviews, referring to the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion as a one-hit wonder and inferring that Vince McMahon wouldn’t take him even if he was available. 

Goldberg decided to vent his frustrations at The Game, yelling at him and looking mad while Trips reportedly just laughed the whole thing off. Stephanie McMahon (who was at the fair with her on-screen squeeze), on the other hand, was incredulous. 

Most who witnessed the confrontation agreed that Goldberg came off badly and that Triple H handled it in the right way. 

The residual heat persisted until they eventually worked together three years later.
