July 6, 1998 Nitro. Aka the one where Goldberg beats Hollywood Hogan to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

I was 9 at the time and had only been watching wrestling for a few months. I instantly gravitated towards Goldberg as my favorite. The crowd was absolutely mental that night, and frankly so was I as I was jumping up and down in celebration watching it on TV.

Now that I'm older and know about the business I understand that Goldberg beating Hogan on free TV was almost certainly a terrible business decision. But I don't care. That's one of my earliest memories as a fan and something I'll hold on to forever.
