The powerhouse had beaten Scott Hall earlier in the night to earn his shot at Hogan and went on to claim the championship after defeating the Hulkster in a little over eight minutes.

Goldberg's title triumph in Atlanta - a city he knew well from his days playing in the NFL for the Falcons - came amid a reported 173-match winning streak, which was finally ended in December 1998 by Kevin Nash.
