@@petertran4470 Oh, let's see the "great" Goldberg finally admit that the only reason he became a main event star was purely cause he was pushed to the moon by WCW with his looks being his only talent. When will he also admit that he never spared any time getting better in actual pro wrestling cause he was just too lazy to put any effort into it when he clearly saw how much hurt he was putting his fellow wrestlers in?

[@petertran4470]

@@lazySquirred Geez, I didn’t know Goldberg was on trial. When did he say he was great? In fact he’s admitted he was very green and new to the industry. He’s stated that he didn’t have same passion as other typical wrestlers but he seized an opportunity and made the most out of it as anyone should in life. Yes, he’s admitted his flaws and shortcomings but no one can take away his contributions to the business. Goldberg had more than looks. Stone Cold even said Goldberg’s popularity had him on his toes. If that’s easy then why have very few been able to achieve it? Goldberg had intensity, real connection with the crowd (something 99% wrestlers don’t have) and was athletic af (jackhammering Big Show back in the days and popularising the spear). Not perfect but who is?

Y'know, there are some older wrestlers, or "legends", that when they come back should only wrestle other older guys. But if you compare his match with Taker to the second Brock feud or that last run with Lashley, its pretty clear that Bill Goldberg should only work with younger guys. If you've got one older guy who needs to be kinda led through a match stood in the ring, that's one thing. If you've got two of em (or in the god awful follow-up's case, four), then really that first bell shouldn't be breathed near let alone rung 😂

[@BulletBill-yb3ti]

Goldberg vs Taker in 2003 could have worked. Oldberg vs Senior Citizenaker no.

[@TheBraunMachine2K24]

Exactly, it could've worked in 2002 when Ric Flair was Raw General Manager, when Big Evil Taker was bullying Flair and others, GM Flair could've brought in a babyface Goldberg or Sting to face him, it could've worked then like heel Big Evil was gonna take on a threat to his then Decade of Destruction. Fans would've lost their shit if either match happened back in 2001, 2002 or 2003. It's a shame, Sting waited way too long to finally come to WWE & it's a shame that they didn't have him (or Goldberg) face Taker when they were still in their primes. Both matches could've good back then. They waited way too long to do those matches, just look at what happened when Sting had that match with Seth Rollins.
