Goldberg and Kevin Nash – The True Story Behind the Ending of the Streak
The sixteenth installment of Starrcade went down on December 27th, 1998. The show was a bit of a one-match card despite featuring the talents of Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Ric Flair, and DDP. 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.
