[@therealangelalexander1858]

​​@@schizzo8959That it's happened several times over the past number of months. It literally just happened on the 4th of January Nitro. Goldberg barely gets his revenge later on - and he doesn't even get the world title back. That's the big issue with WCW around this time compared to WWF. None of their stories ever had a satisfying conclusion, and on the very rare occasion that they did-they'd either be retconned or quickly forgotten about the following week, or the champion would be dethroned within the next few days or weeks.

What's crazy is 11 year old Reid was a better promo and had better timing in the ring in his spots on Nitro

@RobJaskula I can see it being easier for an 11 year old just because of the lack of pressure. David was an adult and able to fully understand the context that his father is one of the best to ever do it. That thought probably never entered Reid's mind at 11.

Great video! The ladder match has been a little forgotten, I think.

The more I think about it, the more I'm confused on why Bam Bam didn't cost Goldberg the streak. They were teasing a feud between the two and just dropped it.

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

It's just how WCW was. Same as why did the nWo lose the tag match before only to interfere after? My opinion is Hall won this match by what the standard for a ladder match is: get the object to win. I'm wondering if they thought Bam interfering would be too strong and Hall would have to win. I don't think they wanted to have Goldberg lose another match so soon after the last time. They probably should have had him face Bigalow here, and Flair vs Hogan for the world for the main event. The next month could have had Hall against Goldberg in a ladder match without the lame stipulation.

Scott Hall was fantastic in any role. That being said, I wish they would have allowed him play the role of more than just a clown to the degree that he did. Hall was a big dude, no reason why he couldn't slam Goldberg and be a little more physically imposing.

[@ianjay4596]

He should have been given the belt. He won war world 3

[@tux789]

It's tricky because on one hand Scott Hall should be big enough to slam Goldberg but on the other hand Goldberg was built up to this point to basically be superhuman. This is honestly the most competitive match Goldberg had up to that point and they really had to try to make sure not to piss away everything they built Goldberg up to be and just make him another dude.

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

​@@tux789, This is somewhat true. No matter how big other guys were (except for a few: Giant, Nash, Bigalow, etc), all other wrestlers were just something for Goldberg to squash. Having the kayfabe of a wounded knee allowed Hall to get a pretty good match out of Goldy. But I wouldn't say it was as competitive as Halloween Havoc against DDP.

It's a case of quality over quantity.

WCW definitely was tanking at this point

[@scypsylock9402]

David Flair was just very nervous for many reasons. He is out there in a main event with some of the biggest names in wrestling, all champions, and of course the greatest of them all his dad. Of course he was nervous, and he wanted to make sure not to screw up because a lot was riding on him such as the boys in the locker room who were not liking to see a green horn main eventing. Also he had to make sure not to hurt the other guys by keeping them protected, and that was why Hennig and Windham were wrestling him because they know how to carry a match and help their opponents look good even if they screw up. David was about 19 here too and working in an event with tens of thousands of people watching him was also very intimidating for him I'm sure. Hey, I think for what he had against him he did a pretty decent job here. Was wrestling for him, maybe...but was he for wrestling, no, or least not at this moment but maybe in a few more years of training and working out then we'd see.
