Goldberg and  Kevin Nash

The Night The Streak Died

It was a late December night a few days away from 1999 when an undefeated Bill Goldberg defended his WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Kevin Nash.

The sixteenth installment of Starrcade went down on December 27th, 1998.

On this show, it was all about the main event: Bill Goldberg defending his WCW World Heavyweight Championship against Kevin Nash.

Nash had secured his title shot at World War III by winning the battle royal. The world was ready to see this confrontation go down.

At this point, Goldberg had already won the United States Championship, as well as the top prize, and racked up a ton of wins.

GOLDBERG:  "I didn't know what was going on. Every time I went to the building, I thought I was going to lose."

KEVIN NASH: "Goldberg got pissed off, and then he got hurt. People say that killed WCW. Well, no, it didn’t!"

This is the true story behind the ending of the streak!
