January Week 1, Year 3

The 3rd year in my Universe begins! I can't wait until you guys see what happens after WrestleMania. Due to WCW and Warrior not being able to reach an agreement on a contract, Warrior is no longer with WCW.

He came back in and received a one-arm spine buster. Goldberg picked him back up and hit the spear. After an elbow across the neck, Goldberg pinned Hall for the win.
