    What? Undertaker.

    Goldberg beat Mullet Man about 153 of those 173 times.

    I understand it's scripted, but come on. I didn't even flinch when Goldberg lost. I heard the Undertaker lost and literally had to go watch the match to see if y'all weren't bullshitting. I sat there like, "Yooooo...."

    Goldbers streak was legit too (e entho b4 his first winhe technicallylostat a house show). Butyou could find footage of all his wins. I remberedwhen he beat Hugh Morris and Meng like nothing in 97, and I was like this Stone Cold lookingmotherfucker gonna be the ? .

    It was just better imo even if you didnt like him for whatever reason.

    funny this topic came up because i watched the nash vs goldberg match last night (purchased nwo : the revolution blu ray)

    That Goldberg streak was epic though.it wasn't necessarily about who he was beating,but how they went about doing it.

    to just have this guy come to the ring,run through someone in a matter of minutes and then just leave rarely giving an interview or even saying anything at all, look at the time it took from when he was green to when he became a genuine superstar......they booked that arc flawlessly.

    i agree the end of the Undertaker's was more shocking,more so because it was clean.

    There's no competition one is built up over 20 years, the other lasted about 2 years.

    There was no good way to end either one, I respectfully ? on both Nash & Lesnar but ultimately it's not really their fault....well it is Nash fault since he was booking himself.

    Streak vs streak, Goldberg has it.

    I probably didn't even see half of who he faced but from what I did, dude was beast and the way he was able to do it was crazy as ? . Granted, it's scripted but it was done well.

    Undertakers streak at Mania was something I never truly cared for. I never thought it was awesome or anything. I just waited for it to get stopped.

    As for shock vs shock, Undertaker. Simply because we never thought he would lose at Mania. Goldbergs defeat could've been huge but they didn't do it very well at all. It was so lackluster.

    Both matches in where their streaks were defeated sucked though. You would fogure, ending a streak should've been done in epic fashion but both failed to deliver that.

    Goldbergs was more dominant in the fact that he was undefeated PERIOD. Again it is scripted...but to not loose for damn near two years...in the "modern era" of the business >>>

    While impressive, I totally agree with @vibe about Takers streak...It was more about the story and character behind the streak. His streak did yield some classic matches tho.

    Didn't Goldberg's streak come against a lot of jobbers, while Taker's came against a lot of main eventers??

    Granted it was a longer streak, but beating Norman Smiley and Disco Inferno on a weekly basis isn't as great as beating some of the bigger names.

    King Kong Bundy main evented Wrestlemania 2 and Mark Henry is a world champion.

    Goldberg streak is full of squash matches against nobodies that weren't even worth beating. Then he finally starting wrestling people that matter and the matches weren't even any better. Then he won the title, the title run was boring as ? and only thing memorable about it was him losing.

    In fact that's the only memorable thing about Goldberg streak period is when he lost. How many of those almost 200 matches are must see classics against highly rated or main event opponents?

    As far as im concerned that ? is the white Tatanka (who also went undefeated for two years) except he won a world title.

    i'm not disputing the quality of the matches, it's hard to when really the guy was a 3 move wonder whose matches barely lasted a few minutes...plus it's a known fact that they padded out the streak out on occasions so the number your getting isn't the accurate one (you'd tune into nitro one week and it'd have gone up by like 3 or 4 not inc. house shows) but the streak is what made him a star,even if he was beating nobodies (which he was) you can't deny the effectiveness of the way it was done.Even Vince had to resort to taking the ? with gillberg becasue he was that in spite of him.

    off the top of my head I can't remember any classic Goldberg matches during the streak (a lot of very good ones though) the best match I saw was after it against Steiner.

    I stopped watching fulltime in around '02,even then the wwe never even mentioned the streak and I'd bet you most general fans probably wasn't even aware of it...I'm not sure when it became an angle but it certainly wasn't when I was watching.he did have the better matches though.

    Taker. The fans reaction to it ending was PRICELESS!

    Goldberg's streak was impressive tho.
