GOLDBERG is your new WWE Heavyweight Champion

Sometimes you get messed up even before getting elevated to the main roster.
Just ask Bianca Belair how she feels about Charlotte Flair after Wednesday.
Them pulling the Black History Month Special is probably ever less surprising than them putting the title on a vet who'll work 10 shows a year tops.

Yep. The vanilla midget fanboys on suicide watch.
It's pretty condescending and disrespectful to approach my post in this manner.
I wasn't defending WWE, I was commenting on the constant applauding of AEW when in fact they have similarities.
sounds like YOURE the oldberg!
Barrett's face here is perfect for the King jab
Almost as good as "I'll think about it"
anyone actually comparing this to jericho is an idiot not arguing in good faith. goldberg and jericho are nothing alike at this point other then that they are old. but jericho is still a full time guy that has put on multiple great matches in the past few years whereas goldberg is the drizzling shits.
jericho has literally helped build up multiple guys in aew and made them look like a million bucks. that he is champ means nothing compared to that. he's giving back to the industry.
meanwhile goldberg just took all the heat and the rub off of a guy they are trying to make into a star and they had him beat the likes of rollins and bryan to get to that point. you make everyone look like shit now.
how the fuck can anyone really defend this?

Look guys its fine just wait until bray turns 50 and he too will go over younger and hotter acts.
Nice to see Vince is still trying to figure out elaborate schemes to get people to cheer for Roman at WrestleMania.
Also, I don't get why people still wish retirement / death for Vince so that "hopefully WWE will be good again."
A. It would still suck
B. There's other better things to watch (wrestling and non-wrestling)
C. Vince will never retire or die
The WWE hates that they are a wrestling company and they hate you for being a fan. Just stop.

Jesus christ that's sad. Even his famous pin looks half assed and his tired as hell, gassed as hell face says it all.
He should just stop now. Whilst he can still look the part.
Oh and LOL. Fucking shit, declining company hastening their own demise once more. What a fucking way to burn what little is left of your fanbase. What a joke result!
Thank heavens for aew.
All Elite Wrestling , folks. Give them your hard earned money and I'm return , they will give you a wrestling show you will enjoy .
I had to watch a bunch of his best to wipe it from my mind, the jackhammer on the Big Show helped a lot.
Even if he showed up Tony wouldn't let him go out. Hes a mark but he isnt stupid lmao. That would give way tok much trouble to way too many people legally.
Another dumb thing is that the WWE has constantly reminded you that they beat WCW thanks to them sticking to young up and coming stars instead of old dudes who
should be putting over them.
WCW never reached the point of putting someone as out of shape from age as Goldberg, at least Hogan and Randy Savage still had some gas left on the tank

This is just wrong. Goldberg rung his bell by running full speed into the corner and hitting the ring post, dude was concussed and couldn't support his own weight when in Taker's tombstone either, leading to his being dropped on his head. Yeah the heat definitely didn't help, but the major factor was the head injury. This was after he concussed himself after headbutting a locker door too hard before a Raw appearance too. He's just too old to be his old intense self, and it actively put Undertaker at risk that night. Even tonight, he barely got Bray over with a sloppy Jackhammer. He's a liability.
In general I see why they've done this, they consider Goldberg the bigger star, and if Wrestlemania is moving off the Network to ESPN+ as rumoured, they want a bigger star to be the champion. He's only a bigger star by virtue of not being ruined by lousy WWE booking every week, and the clock is ticking BIG TIME with him as any kind of viable performer. What are they going to do when all the old fucks are done? This strategy of theirs is short-sighted as hell, harms their day to day wrestlers in favour of very short term gains, and has been shown to be driving viewers away bit by bit. Raw is continuing to be down year on year. Yeah, they got a couple of good deals out of USA and Fox, but what happens come renewal time if the numbers keep trickling away? What stars have they made in their use of these older talents? This isn't like Jericho in AEW - the comparisons people are trying to make between the two are laughable, btw - he's there every week and is actively putting over younger guys in a variety of ways. Brock just crushed Ricochet in under 2 minutes, giving him nothing. This after beating Kofi kingston in 10 seconds after giving him nothing. At least The Fiend took a bunch of spears to get beaten, but it's still lousy treatment of a guy who's there every week and working live events, putting in work to try and reinvent himself after being fucked over the first time...and they do it again.
Drew and Roman both better win at Mania, then the likes of Brock and Goldberg need to piss off out of the title scene for the rest of their time in WWE.
Comparisons to Jericho make no sense because one of his most valuable abilities as the top guy is the way he is able to make stars out of younger talent. Every non-Cody type who has gone up against him has come out the other end looking a million bucks. By serving as the big bad, he's put over so many people and groups already at this point.
Since Oldberg has clearly lost a massive amount of strength they can't be booking him with big boys like Bray, probably can't lift Roman either. RIP Roman you might get head spiked at Mania.
he arguably looks worse than goldberg in 2020While we are doing the 90s retreads, can someone bring this guy back?
It's incredible. He was terrible in the ring and his character consisted primarily of "He's big and grunts". Goldberg was always awful, and he's exactly what anybody still watching WWE deserves.
Bray's booking has always been shitty. He should have never taken 100 curb stomps. He should've beat Seth in that first match he had.
How do you even recover a dude like Bray after he finally reinvented the damage they had originally done to him? WWE deserves a lot of shit, and I hope there's a breaking point where ambitious wrestlers just quit for AEW. Its always been disgusting to me that they pretty much buy out so many names only to keep them away from the competition

Both of these will come to fruition. Goldberg will take another sabbatical until the WWE comes calling for another Saudi match. McIntyre will probably hold the belt for 4-6 months until Vince inevitably blames him for sagging business and puts the WWE title on Brock again.
