6. Goldberg turns down a programme with Chris Jericho - WCW 1998
Sticking with WCW now and a feud that took place behind the scenes, but not in front of the cameras.
In 1998, both Bill Goldberg and Chris Jericho were making big names for themselves. Goldberg was the undefeated WCW World Heavyweight Champion, whilst Jericho was the slick-talking, cowardly villain of the cruiserweight division.
A feud between the two began, in which Jericho would continually mock the former Atlanta Falcon. He even stole his entrance one week, which may or may not have inspired the character of Gillberg.
Y2J held up his end of the bargain and put in some great work, but the big man wanted nothing to do with him. He didn’t see Jericho as a legitimate challenger, so refused to participate in the feud.
This led to legitimate bad blood between the pair, resulting in a real-life scuffle when they were both signed to WWE. A scuffle that Jericho reportedly won, by the way.
