| Chris Jericho vs. Bill Goldberg | 
    During his first run with WWE, one of UGO's favorite wrestlers, Chris Jericho, came head-to-head with a wrestler he had issues with previously in WCW: Bill Goldberg.  In the Atlanta-based promotion, Goldberg had balked at putting Jericho  over in a program between the two, so when the massive wrestler showed  up in WWE, talking trash on Jericho's home turf, the dramatically  smaller grappler confronted his rival in the locker room.
Things escalated quickly, with Goldberg charging Jericho. As he mentions in his 2011 book, Undisputed,  Jericho doesn't consider himself an exceptionally tough guy, or even an  old school "shooter" style wrestler. So, he quickly locked on the only  legit hold he claims to have known at that time, a front face-lock, and  mounted his oversized opponent. While no one got slugged really good, or  even hurt, we're suckers for a David and Goliath story.
