Look at Goldberg! He's ready!
He's poised... [Goldberg spears Hulk Hogan] Hogan goes down!
Okay, there's part one! Now finish him off! Finish him off!
[Goldberg signals for the Jackhammer] He's calling for it!
This is it! This is it! [Goldberg sets Hogan up for the Jackhammer] Your career's on the line here! Do it! Do it! This place'll erupt when he picks him up.
[Goldberg lifts Hogan in a suplex] He's got him up! [...and slams Hogan to the mat] Oh Hell Yeah!
[counting with the referee] One...
[continues] ...two...THREE!!!
OH, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! We got a new heavyweight champion of the world! The first undefeated man in the history of this sport to ever win the World Championship, and have a record of 107, 108...who cares?! There's zero on the other side! We've got a new champion! Listen to this! [pauses to acknowledge the cheering crowd and "Goldberg" chants] Wow.
Thirty-one-year-old Bill Goldberg, less than ten months in the sport, is on top of the wrestling world.
[off a shirt] "Who's next?"
Who cares?
"Who cares" is right. The hero has come through, lades and gentlemen, you have witnessed professional wrestling history on many levels. A man who is undeniably the toughest we have seen in decades, a man who undeniably will lead pro wrestling into the next millennium, stands in the Georgia Dome in front of more than 39,000 fans.
Tony, there's a new sheriff in town.
When we go to Bash at the Beach, Goldberg will be the world champ. Its only six days away.
We still got Thunder, Wednesday.
With the new world champion. Well, there's nothing more that this announce crew can add to what you've been a witness here tonight. It's been a night for the ages, it's been a night that we will never forget because on Monday, July 6th, 1998, Goldberg captured the gold. Goldberg, went to 108 and 0, and in less than one year, the phenomenon that is Bill Goldberg, at age 31, is the heavyweight champion of the world, and they're not going anywhere...
No.
They're still standing, chanting his name, paying homage to their hero.
Let the celebration begin!
For Iron Mike Tenay and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan...
Thank you!!
...and Larry Zsbysko, and Mean Gene, and everybody in pro wrestling... Goodnight, America!!
Goldberg's the champ! Let's go!
