Wcw Nwo Souled Out 1997 Show How To Develop Goldberg
He called out Bill Goldberg, stating that he could beat Goldberg within five minutes.Goldberg came to the ring and tried to spear Bret. This resulted in being the victim of the Montreal Screwjob at Survivor Series 1997.After coming to WCW, Bret only had a handful of main event matches.This led to the events of March 29, 1999, when Bret came out on Monday Nitro and complained about how he wasn't being used. For WCW to have ended that streak without an idea for how to develop Goldberg's character was irresponsible.One of the more tragic stories in wrestling history is what happened to Bret "The Hitman" Hart between 19.It all started when Bret had his character changed by WWE bookers to being anti-American heel. He main evened the following pay-per-view (Souled Out 1999) against Scott Hall in a ladder match, but after that, was somewhat lost in the mix.Goldberg left for a while to film Universal Soldier: The Return, then made his own return to WCW during a Megadeth performance, but still remained somewhat diminished.It seems that a big part of Goldberg's appeal really was his undefeated streak. Even though he was a complete unknown, he dominated everyone who he stepped into the ring against.This culminated in defeating Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight Title on July 6, 1998.After dropping the belt to Kevin Nash at Starrcade 1998, Goldberg didn't have much left to do. Juxtaposed against the 1997 Royal Rumble, WCW offered Souled Out 1997.The biggest exception to this rule was Bill Goldberg.Debuting in September of 1997, Goldberg made an instant impact on the company.
Not only did he have to try and keep viewers happy, but he had to also keep the execs happy as well.Doing this during the Attitude Era proved impossible.Bischoff was not able to put on the kind of show necessary to compete with WWE while having one hand tied behind his back by his bosses.The end result was Bischoff leaving WCW, which ushered in the era of Vince Russo.Ironically, the last Nitro before Bischoff was relieved of duty was also the last Nitro that came close to overtaking Raw in the ratings, as well as the last Nitro that scored above a 4.0 rating. He had to run the company, yet he also had to answer to the higher-ups at Time Warner. According to the storyline, that position now belonged to Ric Flair.Bischoff ended up becoming Flair's lackey, getting his head shaved (then sporting gray hair), disappearing for a while, then filling the role of some kind of executive/announcer.Truth be told, Bischoff was unable to deal with all the pressures of keeping WCW running.Part of the problem was the fact that, unlike McMahon, Bischoff did not own WCW.
