Goldberg ‘Knocked Out’ With WWE Hall of Famer

WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has used ‘The Spear’ all along his legendary career which has won him numerous matches. The legend recently made some revelations about suffering an injury. At Halloween Havoc 1998, the two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion defeated Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) in the main event. The match lasted for 10 minutes and was among the longest of his career up until that point. It also featured a scary moment where the former football player knocked himself out while delivering a spear.

 


 

Goldberg talks about the injury

Speaking on Chris Jericho’s “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, the 55-year-old chose the match against DDP as his favorite. He also reflected on the unfortunate injury he suffered during the grueling encounter.

“I’m pretty proud of that one, man,” Goldberg said. “I speared him and knocked myself out, then I was able to get him up in the jackhammer and finish the match off. I think for that reason alone… that and I pretty much dispelled the rumor that I couldn’t go more than two minutes in the ring. It [match duration] was completely dependent on who was leading me.”

Goldberg certainly showcased his dominance and the powerhouse laid his opponents down with ‘Spear’ numerous times during his legendary career. While the move has been highly used as a finisher, many stars have been using it more often as a regular move as well.

The former WWE Universal Champion has been away from WWE. His last match took place at Elimination Chamber in February, when he had challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. However, he was unsuccessful in his attempt.
