Say what you will about his attitude but per kayfabe, i cant remember goldberg ever losing a match clean (barring perhaps some no dq matches which had interference). And that includes, Triple H,Hogan,Rock,Brock Lesnar etc. He no sold everything from chairs to finishers and quite frankly i also dont think anyone ever kicked out of the spear to jackhammer combo...ever.
I had never watched WCW growing up, so guys like Goldberg were a mystery to me until they joined WWF. When Goldberg finally put Lesnar in his place, I was thrilled, but the more I read about Goldberg, the more I hate him.
Hogan was my favourite growing up, and nowadays, knowing the kind of shit he used to pull, he's not top of my list anymore.

Being from Atlanta, and that being the man's adopted home town, Goldberg was by far my biggest hero growing up.
edit: There's nothing particularly to hate about Goldberg. He had some kinda ego backstage maybe, just like most anyone else that was widely successful, but overall the guy was a positive role model, does charitable things, holds strong morals, fond of family etc.
Goldberg had one of the best build ups and credibility kayfabe wise in the industry. He barely lost in his prime, and when he did, it was always cheap wins. And his intensity was pretty great.
Sure, he wasn't all that great in the ring technically speaking and he was unsafe at times, but the dude was legit as far as WCW and even WWE goes.

And what happened with Bret Hart.

Most Goldberg hatrer dislike him because he was a top tier WcW guyWcW top guys had creative and character freedoms, aka they got to choose who when and how they won/lost
Chris jericho left WcW famously after an incident where Goldberg wouldn't put him over
I never really watched WCW, so I wouldn't know.

Yeah I actually lived in Atlanta during Goldbergs heyday and in terms of in ring intensity it didn't get any better. He was probably the closest thing to an unstoppable force id ever seen. When he no sold the giants chokeslam (unheard of) and then proceeded to jackhammer him, it was a sight to behold.
