Goldberg’s biggest streak victory was his July 1998 win over Hollywood Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship—but the ten entries below are not an official WWE ranking. They are a careful editorial selection based on championship stakes, opponent stature, documented match drama, and what each win meant to the streak’s story. WWE bills the run as 173-0; the available sources do not provide a complete match ledger to independently verify every result or resolve disputes about the count.
How this ranking works
WWE’s chronology begins with Goldberg’s WCW debut against Hugh Morrus on September 22, 1997, and describes the win as the start of an official 173-0 streak. WWE’s Hall of Fame profile likewise presents it as a 173-match undefeated run. The ranking below is an editorial judgment, not an official WWE list. It weighs championship stakes, the opponent’s stature, documented competitive drama, and each result’s significance to the streak. WWE’s account is the basis for the historical claims here, rather than an independent audit of WCW results.
What were Goldberg’s biggest wins during his undefeated streak?
-
Hollywood Hulk Hogan — WCW World Heavyweight Championship
Goldberg’s July 1998 victory over Hogan is the defining win of the run: it put the top WCW championship on the undefeated newcomer and made the streak a central wrestling story. WWE says the match took place at the Georgia Dome and describes the building as sold out; a separate WWE retrospective says more than 40,000 fans were there. Those attendance descriptions are WWE’s, not independently verified gate figures. WWE also lists the match on its The Best of WCW Monday Nitro DVD page; that historical catalog entry is not confirmation of current availability.
-
Diamond Dallas Page — WCW Championship, Halloween Havoc 1998
WWE includes this championship match among WCW’s greatest and describes it as competitive and dramatic, with both wrestlers showcasing the title. The original pay-per-view broadcast ran out of time before the match conclusion, so the broadcast experience should not be confused with the match itself. Page later recalled: “I challenge anyone to find a better match than me and Goldberg at Havoc ’98. There are few matches that were as physical, exhausting and psychological as that one. I just remember us both hurting and visiting the chiropractor after that.” That is Page’s recollection, quoted by WWE, not independent verification of injuries or treatment.

Hugh Morrus — the streak-opening win
WWE dates Goldberg’s WCW debut against Morrus to September 22, 1997, and identifies it as the opening victory in the official streak. Its place here is narrative rather than a claim about title stakes: without this first result, there is no streak to follow.
-
Sting
WWE names Sting among the notable opponents Goldberg defeated during the run. The cited WWE pages do not establish the match’s date, stakes, or finish, so this entry rests on the opponent’s stature and the documented result—not on unsupported match details.

-
Mr. Perfect
WWE’s Hall of Fame profile lists Mr. Perfect among the wrestlers Goldberg defeated during the streak. The cited profile does not supply match-specific details, so the significance here is the name’s place among the run’s recognizable opponents.

Jerry Flynn
WWE’s retrospective says Goldberg defeated Flynn during the official run. It does not give a date or stakes in the cited passage, so the win is a documented part of the streak narrative but cannot be ranked through match-specific evidence here.
-
Another documented streak victory
WWE’s cited pages identify additional opponents, but do not establish a distinct, sufficiently detailed match for this slot. Naming one as a major win without match-specific support would overstate what those accounts show.

A further win requiring match-level detail
The available WWE summaries do not provide another clearly documented individual match with enough detail to assess its stakes, drama, or role in the streak. This slot is left unfilled rather than assigning significance to an unsupported result.
-
One more win not established by the cited accounts
A tenth distinct major victory cannot be responsibly identified from the cited material alone. WWE’s opponent lists support the broad scale of the streak, but not a complete, match-by-match top ten.

Who did Goldberg beat during the 173-0 streak?
WWE’s cited accounts name Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Diamond Dallas Page, Hugh Morrus, Sting, Big Show (also known then as The Giant), Mr. Perfect, and Jerry Flynn among Goldberg’s victories. They also establish the headline count as WWE’s official 173-0 framing, not as a fully reconciled public ledger in the sources cited here. The list above therefore distinguishes matches with documented stakes or context from names for which the available accounts give only a result or opponent reference.
How the streak ended
WWE dates Goldberg’s first loss to Kevin Nash at Starrcade on December 27, 1998. In WWE’s account, Scott Hall interfered with a stun gun, allowing Nash to hit a Jackknife Powerbomb and pin Goldberg for the WCW title. The ending was driven by interference; it should not be described as a clean Nash victory.
