About this listen

 He had zero wrestling experience. Zero charisma training. Zero connections in the business. Yet Bill Goldberg exploded onto the wrestling scene like a human wrecking ball, demolishing legends and superstars with a ferocity that terrified even seasoned veterans. This is the untold story of how a failed NFL player became the most destructive force in sports entertainment history, building an undefeated streak that literally changed the wrestling business forever. From his brutal debut squash matches to the night he shocked the world by defeating Hollywood Hogan for the WCW Championship, we'll expose the behind-the-scenes politics that nearly killed his push, the legitimate injuries he caused with his devastating spear, and the backstage heat that made enemies of wrestling's biggest egos. Featuring exclusive shoot interviews with wrestlers who stepped into the ring with the monster, production staff who witnessed his meteoric rise, and never-before-heard stories about the rookie who refused to follow wrestling's unwritten rules. Discover how Goldberg's legitimate football intensity translated into box office gold, why veteran wrestlers were genuinely afraid to work with him, and the shocking moment when his streak became bigger than WCW itself. Sometimes lightning strikes twice – but Goldberg's lightning strike lasted 173 matches and changed professional wrestling forever.
