Goldberg’s Best Matches in WWE
5. Goldberg vs Mark Henry (Monday Night Raw, October 6, 2003)
When Big E said he wanted “Big Meaty Men Slapping Meat”, this is exactly the sort of match he was envisioning.
Mark Henry had yet to find his groove with his Hall of Pain gimmick, but he showed signs of his intensity here. It’s rare to see Goldberg portrayed as the underdog, but here the World Heavyweight Champion was physically outmatched by the World’s Strongest man.
Both men showed off their strength on a number of occasions. After 5 minutes of action, a bodyslam by Goldberg garnered a huge reaction from the crowd. His shoulder tackles to knock down Mark Henry looked equally brutal.
Goldberg was about to go for the win with the Jackhammer, but was attacked by a chair wielding Rodney Mack. The match ended in a DQ.
It’s a shame Henry and Goldberg never faced off again. A pay per view bout between the pair could have been an incredible hoss match. Despite the bad finish, this is number five on the list of Goldberg’s best matches in WWE.
