Loss Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Poor Tony Schiavone trying to stay professional while Hogan and Nash are at the broadcast booth just making fun of both guys and not even trying to get over the match and just playing lip service to the Hogan/Flair feud. This was pretty good. It’s also the only time this match ever happened, when it probably would have been huge if built up properly. Flair works his Luger/Nikita formula and does a great job making Goldberg look good. Great timing ducking the spear. Fun match that could have been so much better with more build.

tim Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Geez can Nash and Hogan fuck off for this one? Not exactly the kind of commentary you want for a match like this, very annoying and self-serving. This is worked about how you expect and it's pretty fun, definitely has a big match feel. Screwy ending is lame but what were the options? Can't have Goldberg lose and you can't have Flair pinned going into the PPV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Man Nash and Hogan continue to kill this show. Decent match with Flair playing heel and the crowd going crazy. The ending had to happen like that but it was still bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Annoying commentary aside, this is a really fun match that built up and had Flair playing to Goldberg's strengths which worked better at this stage in Flair's career than when he was the ace NWA champion. The camera angle on the spear was nicely down. Finish was what it was. I would have liked to have seen a big signature PPV match between these two. **1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Sleeze Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Ric Flair vs Goldberg - Nitro 3/8/98 Classic Ric Flair match that is timeless, but with the interesting wrinkle that Goldberg maybe the ultimate babyface monster. The heat for this match is nuclear with the crowd completely behind Goldberg especially once Flair heels himself. We get all the great Flair trademarks of bouncing off Goldberg and taking the gorilla press slam. Flair goes all in on the cheating with three low blows to keep Goldberg at bay. Flair still has his nasty chops and great punch to vary things. Hell, he busted out a sweet suplex. Goldberg was an awesome presence in this match. I loved his quick reverse of the Figure-4 and how he really rared back on it. Hell, Goldberg even sold the leg pretty well. We get the press slam off the top rope. Goldberg misses on the spear, but it is just delaying the inevitable: SPEAR! NWO B-Team runs in and then Nash and Hogan. Nash had one funny line for every four and Hogan was useless. Poor Tony! A really enjoyable Flair match that was made unique by Goldberg's aura and his explosiveness. Would have loved a full-fledged 15 minute PPV main event between these two. *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 A fun match in front of a hot crowd that's pretty much everything you'd ever want out of these two. Too bad the whole atmosphere had to be ruined by Hogan and Nash and the all-around presentation in putting this on with less than 2 hours' notice. Why are they half-assing this Hogan turn if they want to turn him? Why am I *still* dissecting 1999 WCW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
