Before this match, Goldberg was undefeated. WCW listed his record as 173 wins and no losses. He had been champion for months and was the biggest star in the company. Kevin Nash earned the title shot by winning the World War III battle royal.
Just eight days later on WCW Nitro, Kevin Nash lost the title to Hulk Hogan in the “Fingerpoke of Doom.” Even Goldberg later said Kevin Nash was the right person to beat him at that time. However, due to what happened next, the win is remembered as a missed chance rather than a great title moment.
