Goldberg '98 could no-sell a nuclear blast. Batista would get owned in about 2 seconds.
This is in kayfabe terms, of course.

If you want it based on whos better in ring wise, Id say Batista. He's put on some great matches with Taker and Edge this year.
1998 Goldberg couldnt work and had very very few matches that lasted longer then 2 minutes.
If you want it by whos more over, obviously it would be 1998 Goldberg.
But as a worker, Id take 2007 Batista.

I'd go with Goldberg, a lot of people forget he could do backflips and had submission moves as well in his arsenal, but the fans just wanted the spear/jackhammer, so just go with that and make them happy, and he got over huge with it. Goldberg all the way.

Batista isn't good enough to have a great match with someone who isn't a great worker. Goldberg all the way- he was an underrated worker who could have matches which were the equal of Batista's matches this year (DDP at Halloween Havoc '98 anyone?.) Batista has little charisma compared to Goldberg. Goldberg was a full blown phenomenon who got over on his pure charisma and connection with the crowd. He drew enormous crowds (vs. Hogan, Georgia Dome Nitro) and even when WWE watered him down, the moments when he did get pushed in the correct way (SummerSlam Elimination Chamber, before Trips pinnned him) the crowd went nuts. There's no comparison. Goldberg all the way. |

I'd take Batista anyday over him. |

I hate to say this but at least Batista can put on a good 25 min match with Taker. I dont think Goldberg was trained enough to even have a good match that goes that long. Also he's an ungratefull bastard.

Goldberg easily for me.
Honestly I think Batista is better in the ring as far as talent is concerned... but Goldberg was about 50 times as entertaining to me both in and out of the ring over 'Tista.

I vote Batista for ring work, but Goldberg was a much better character.

Goldberg in 1998.
Goldberg in 1998 was new and fresh and he was built up gradually. He had so much presence and natural charisma. Batista in 2007 seems like he is defending or challenging for the title at every PPV and does a promo on every Smack Down, like we see him in the big matches every month. Goldberg gradually built toward his big matches. Sure, it wasn't perfect. They hotshotted his championship win out of nowhere without build. However, it was fresher and more enjoyable to watch than 2007 Batista, which feels like, "seen that before."

I have watched wrestling for around thirty years and I have never seen a power feat that matched what Goldberg did when he jackhammered the Giant(Big Show).
Batista may know a few more ring moves but in kayfabe If one were to match up 2007 Batista versus 1998 Goldberg than Batista easily becomes yet another victim to Goldberg's streak.
