10. Goldberg
During the height of the Monday Night War, every wrestling fan wanted to see the superstars of WWE and WCW step into the ring against each other and prove who the dominant company in sports entertainment truly was. Fans were endlessly coming up with “dream matches” pitting the promotions against one another, and the match more fans wanted to see than any other was Austin vs. Goldberg. Of course, it never happened, and the only time they did step into a ring together, at WrestleMania XX, was more of a mess than a fight (and Austin was just the referee, to begin with). Wrestling fans probably won’t ever see these two forces of nature square off, but at least we can take some solace in knowing Austin and Goldberg spend plenty of time together when cameras are off, albeit in a far more friendly capacity.
Although their time in the ring together was brief, it may have been more accurate to their friendship, which Austin paints as filled with drinking lots of beer. Goldberg isn’t much of a drinker though, and thus the two have gotten into public arguments over just how real Austin’s in-ring celebrations could get. Any harsh words exchanged between them all seemed to be a joke, however, as Austin still refers to Goldberg as a great friend, and implied he’d be happy to keep drinking him under the table at every chance he gets.
