[1998-09-13-WCW-Fall Brawl] Chris Jericho vs Greenberg

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Jericho does the entrance again where he repeatedly goes through the wrong door. So, so great! The Spinal Tap references are tremendous. We get the full Goldberg entrance only for a little person who looks like Goldberg to come out doing the entrance instead. This was an awesome start to a program with these two, and I'm with Jericho, people would have accepted this as a big feud at this point. It would be the only two new stars WCW created in '98 facing off and yes, Jericho should have lost - been decimated even - but the path there could have been fun.

Agree that this should have at least set up a match at WW3 or something if they had plans for Starrcade and Havoc already. Fun segment with Jericho making short work of "goldberg" (1/2 *)

Ridiculous that this didn't lead to anywhere, even a one-off. It didn't even lead to Jericho feuding with any *other* top star, which would have been a boon. Jericho may have been able to make something watchable out of a program with, say, Luger, or Piper.

There are guys in the front row wearing these ridiculous looking Goldberg shirts that look ironed on.  I hope this wasn't official WCW merchandise.  Great comedy from Jericho.  You can tell he deserved to be elevated to a higher spot.  It's a shame, for WCW at least, that he had to leave the company in order to break through.

I wonder how many people left the arena that night thinking they saw Chris Jericho submit Goldberg.
