Goldberg was about as over as Austin for that period in 1998 leading up to the Hogan match. He was insanely over. It would have been very splIt

Austin was still heating up at that time though and didn't peak for almost another year.

It doesn't matter, Goldberg will be remembered as the biggest pretender in wrestling history while Austin will be remembered as the GOAT.

if it happens at the peak of their popularity it would be like 60/40 for Austin

This. Goldberg was a shitter. SCSA was the real draw in that era, and that’s all I got to say about that!

As badass as Goldberg was, Austin was the relatable one to audiences. He would have been cheered more. I don't know how they'd structure a match between the two though.

Both, but Goldberg would be the Warrior while Austin is the Hogan.

Were these shoot magazines or kayfabe ones, like what were the articles actually discussing? Am zoomer and even if I wasn't I'm far from America to ever get my hands on one of these.

almost all were done in kayfabe and to make it better even the interviews were mostly totally made up lol Apter's mags were worst at it with ridiculous fake stories that even shoot retards wouldn't buy as real

Depends on where the match happened, and the booking, but probably mostly Austin. Or people would just cheer for both.

Austin. Goldberg was always a heel for stealing Mongo’s Super Bowl ring.

Everyone I knew IRL watched only WWF so they thought Goldberg was a "ripoff" of Stone Cold from looks alone.

Austin would have kiled Berg on the mic and could actually have amazing matches, he wasn't just "over"

Kayfabe, but they revealed Vince as owner when most thought he was just a commentator, and they would talk about gimmick changes and basically tell you that Big Bossman was never a real cop, etc.
