8) Goldberg vs Chris Jericho, Backstage Fight
Jericho and Goldberg had issues with each other stemming from their time together in WCW. One night when they were both in WWE, things came to a boiling point. As the story goes, Jericho got the best of Goldberg on that night and earned a ton of respect in the locker room for not backing down to the much larger man.
Here is what Jericho said on an appearance on the Roman Show (downplaying it a bit):
“Goldberg and I saw wrestling from both sides of a different coin. But both of us were very successful. There wasn’t a lot of interest on his end to work with me in WCW. There was a little animosity between us that transferred to the WWE. We had a scuffle it wasn’t what everyone says where Jericho took him down and tied him in a knot. I stood up for myself and held my ground. It was what it was. It was unfortunate for Bill, it was on his first day, so he kind of got labeled right off the bat” (Source: The Roman Show).
Jericho says there will never be a re-match between him and Goldberg:
“If you want to score it, OK, Jericho – 1, Goldberg – 0. There will never be a rematch, ever. If it ever happens, I’ll run away screaming because… I’m not going to say I got lucky, but I’m glad the outcome was the way it was because I thought he was going to tear my head off. Bill’s a good guy man, I have nothing but love for him, nothing but respect” (Source: The Roman Show).
