Note from 2013: We have come to the fifteenth anniversary of Goldberg’s big WCW world title win over Hollywood Hogan. This was a special night at the time for me as a wrestling fan because I rarely got to stay up for the third hour of Nitro. There was magic in the air, the rumblings of change was there, all the cliches you can think of spouting out. Going into this show though at the time, I did not know Goldberg was getting a title shot until I turned on the program. I was on a road trip with my folks and my brother and had missed the Thunder and any Saturday programming leading up to this show.
Let Us Take You Back to Thunder 7/1/98. JJ Dillon announces that #1 contender Goldberg will indeed face Hollywood Hogan in the Georgia Dome on the following Nitro.

And wound up being black in Kansas City. In the 1970s. Vince is disgusted by even the mere thought of having Coach as a son. Hasn’t Shane and Stephanie tried to do horrible things to you over the years? What has Coach done that’s so bad except EVERYTHING YOU EVER ASK OF HIM? Poor Coach. No respect.
