Hall Of Famer Says There Was Talk For Him To End Goldberg’s Streak

Hall Of Famer Says There Was Talk For Him To End Goldberg’s Streak

At one point, Goldberg was the hottest thing in all of World Championship Wrestling. A big tough badass with an undefeated streak? It didn’t get more legit than that. Many consider Kevin Nash breaking the streak to be a major missed opportunity. Now, WWE Hall of Famer ‘Diamond’ Dallas Page has said there was talk for him to break the streak.

In an interview with Inside The Ropes, Page revealed a conversation he had with Eric Bischoff ahead of Halloween Havoc 1998. Here is the quote:

“I never knew it until later. But Dusty Rhodes went to Eric and said… [Impersonating Dusty] ‘You know, E, this night tonight could be Dallas’ night.’ Eric didn’t drop the strap on me that night because Goldie was going to be on Entertainment Weekly, big magazine in our country, and TV Guide, when that meant something, wearing the title the next day. What would have been great as if I’d have heard that. Oh, my God, I would have… Because it made sense for me to beat him and it would have just bumped me up to that Austin level. It would have, really. Especially to beat him clean. It would have taken me to a different spot.

Not that I’m not super happy with everything that happened in my life. The career I had was unbelievable and I’m super thankful for it, but if that would have happened, Goldie wouldn’t have had to get hit with a Taser and then the finish… That mortified him. It would have been a lot for him to swallow, me beating him, but the Diamond Cutter was so over at that time, you know, it would have really made sense – but that is what it is. To go back in time, it would have been fun but the match was still great. I always say, ‘it doesn’t matter if you win or lose, it’s how you win or lose, on both sides.’”

Obviously, Page winning did not end up happening. Goldberg ended up beating Page and would continue his undefeated streak until he collided with Nash at Starrcade 1998.
