    That's brilliant

    Hopefully when DB sees the little one he'll be inspired to never get back in the ring again

    TBH I hope he doesn't if the concussion problems are as bad as they seemed.

    Hopefully he gets to see his child grow up and be healthy

    Car crash it's going to be as bad and worse than their last one all that's missing is a special guest ref.

    Goldberg's doing this to wrestle in front of his son, but he had a few unkind things to say about Triple H during his podcast days. I wonder if they'd work that into a feud down the line.

    Don't worry they will have a heart to heart talk (similar to the Hogan/warrior one in 2014) which will feature on a WWE 24 mania 33 documentary, Goldberg will be the marquee name in the HOF next year is say

    My logic is if ur a headline character for the WWE 2k series ur either in the HOF or u have one foot in (Warrior and Sting went from 2k headliners to the HOF, stone cold is in the hall for years etc). expecting Kurt Angle to be a the 2k18 headliner, Rey Mysterio 2k19, CM Punk down the line too

    Ric is a sad case, going on like this just reminds me of the fact.

    I'm sure it was possible in the 90s but it's not really the point, him saying it now only goes back to what his own ex wife said to him (according to the man himself): when is he going to grow up?

    I wonder if WWE clear him will he be in there taking roundhouse kicks from Nakamura despite the child. "They won't let me wrestle" etc.

    No fear of that as WWE will never clear him to perform again.

    Dunno how legit or respected this guy is, but Justin Lebarr is reporting on Twitter that WWE have bought the TNA tape library. Corgan can keep the company, but he has to rebrand it.

    That's exactly what is being discussed in the TNA Sale / Death thread, he's not the only one reporting it.

    How long before Vince decides to throw Roman into the Lesnar/Goldberg match and have him go over both of them.

    Sure as **** would be better than Goldberg getting a competitive bout. The value of lesnars monster run is already wearing thin as it is.

    id honestly rather watch a lesnar/goldberg match then againist anyone on the roster all down to the fact lesnar has been boring and stale since the taker matches. His matches and feuds have been meh and id rather two part timers beat the tar out of each other then see him destroy any younger talent.

    I think it's a bit of a waste of Goldberg. Goldberg vs Cena would have been huge and he'd have been able to let old bill get a lot of offense in (which he's surely insisted on) without the match being a misery.

    They need to have a plan for lesnar losing this mania, I don't care if it's reigns or whoever, it's gotta happen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    The issue I have is they are going to give it a crappy 5/6 week build up.


    Whereas if done right they could give it a 5/6 month build up to WM when two giants of the business clash the anticipation and clamour from fans to pay to see that would be huge.



    Give it a 5/6 month build up that also helps Bill get back into to some sort of ring shape.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,843 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Owens vs Lesner would be good

    Think the following matches might happen at Mania 33
    Cena vs Taker
    WWE universal title- Seth (C) vs Finn Balor (RR winner)
    WWE world title fatal 4 way- Orton (C) vs Aj Styles vs Bray Wyatt vs Dean Ambrose
    Lesner vs Goldberg
    Triple H vs An opponent of Mick Foleys choosing (GM job on the line or something like that)
    Owens vs Y2J

    Still be awesome but it will be 2 guys in there mid 40's fighting well past there prime

    It would put bums in seats and would be an OK match (ditch the pg stuff and go full rated R for old times sake)

    According to Meltzer the main reason is to promote the video game. Apparently Vince isn't keen on a Mania match for the two but doesn't mind the match taking place before that.

    I reckon they should look for a match at the Rumble. They've a lot of tickets for that one to sell and this match would help that, plus it gives Goldberg more time to prepare for an in-ring return. I'd worry he'd gas badly if he wrestled in the next few weeks.

    Personally it seems dumb to me if Goldberg goes over in the match because Brock has more matches left in him and I sense this is a 'one and done' thing for Goldberg. I'll be annoyed if they waste everything they've done with building Brock up huge only to have him lay down for a guy who's been retired for 12 years.

    They will probably give it away for free on Raw in a "winner gets to face Braun Strowman" match! :pac:

    Cause possible Owens vs Jericho & Styles vs Orton matches don't sound must see for a dual brand show. Good enough to be big matches on B shows though.

    If they don't give guys like those the chance to main event Survivor Series how will they ever become big enough?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,393 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Fans are going to shít all over that match. Again.

    ORRRR wait 2 months and have him in the Rumble and blow the roof off the place. possible set up for him & cena at WM?

    but no no, lets have him replay the match that was famous for being sh*t and have a major booking problem no matter who wins.
    "Hey, we got Brock to beat everybody so whoever beats him will be HUGE!"
    "Who do you have in mind"
    "Bill Goldberg"

    or
    "We have Bill Goldberg coming back!!"
    "Oh my god thats amazing business, who's he going to be wrestling? Cena? Rollins?"
    "Better than that, Brock Lesnar! and hes going to lose!"
