| The Jackhammer... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
One of the most devastating moves in WCW. Everyone Goldberg has wrestled has been in the clutches of this move. It's almost a version of a frontward suplex, but allows more time for blood to rush directly to the victims head. And then with one quick snap they are on the mat with a quick pinning combination. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| The Spear... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
This move definitely arose from his days as a Georgia Bulldog. The move begins as a football stance and at just the right moment he charges directly towards his opponent and swiftly with a huge burst of energy dives straight into the mid- section. The move drives them straight to the mat, but he's not through yet, grabbing ahold of them he quickly hoists them up for the Jackhammer. | �
