Wrestling Thread, Not Only Are You Next...You're Last! - Part 233

All Charlotte's promos should be pre-taped.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but if he has a solid match with Lesnar, Goldberg's return could blow Sting, The Rock, and Batista's out of the water in terms of quality. Really shocked how good that promo was. Maybe 2010's WWE does need Bill Goldberg.

 

[Mani-Man]

Okay i have to admit it...that finaly segement with Goldberg was great.
This was a fitting return segment for the man, it felt really genuine.

I always had the feeling that goldberg was kind of an ******* and doesnt appreciates the fans, the wrestling etc.
But last night showed a different man.

Someone who really appreciated the fans and the reaction he got.
A man who understood that its not just about him.
For the first time, goldberg actually came off as a man i could cheer for.

You could see that he was really surprised at how warm the wwe universe welcomed him back.
Even on the microfon he was quite good, it all sounded very honest from his side.

It really surprised me...and im already kind of sad that this could be his last short run.
This is a goldberg i would like to see back for more than one match.

And this coming from a man who doesnt like Bill Goldberg and his type of Wrestlers.

Bob Backlund is absolutely mental, I love it. Sami Zayn giving the cool nod of approval was great as well. Such a great moment so for that alone it's worth seeing him back even if the match is a nightmare.

Only thing I'd say is that if this was 10 years ago a few of those lads would be getting Paul London'ed by Vince for being goofs during his walk. I read a few things about Vince's heart not being 100% invested in Goldberg's return so I wouldn't be surprised if he told the guys to do what they wanted during the walk.

Not the Rock. Goldberg is and was a big fish on a small pond. The Rock is a whale in a teardrop.

Sasha Banks and Charlotte Officially Main Eventing at Hell In A Cell

A few moments ago it was announced by #Raw GM #MickFoley that not only would #SashaBanks and #Charlotte make history by being the first women to compete inside #HellInACell, but that they'd being doing so in the MAIN EVENT of the evening.
Foley announced the following on his Facebook:

"CHILLS
Forget for a moment about Stephanie McMahon's jumping high-five or my awkward attempt to hug the #RAW Comissioner. The biggest moment of the night for us came when the #WWE cameras were off, and Stephanie and I just looked at the #HIAC poster, realizing that for #WomensWrestling, history is upon us - as Sasha Banks and Charlotte will main event the #HIAC PPV. I am so happy for Sasha, for Charlotte, for all the women who paved the way, and all those who aspire to follow in their footsteps. It is no exaggeration to say that looking at that poster gave me chills...and they were multiplying."

What are your thoughts on this?

Goldberg was the best part of Raw.

Okada/Marifuji match was great as was the overall show.

 

[Loki882]

So if Sasha vs. Charlotte is main-eventing HIAC. They HAVE to have something big/special planned for the match if this is the case.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

That also means they have nothing big planned for the universal title match

Based on Sasha's working style, we might see our very first HIAC fatality on live TV.

 

[Mani-Man]

Its the best idea since none of the other feuds have been intense enough for a main event.
They can main eventa weekly, they can pull off a ppv main event too imo.

But HIAC? Im not sure.
Even for two big guys, the cell is way too big sometimes.
It has to be intense and agressive as hell imo to work.

We will see, im a bit worried that sasha could hurt herself or charlotte...but im optimistic.

It will be interesting to see if they can take advantage of the differences between female and male competitors in this match, rather than just trying to imitate what men can do to a lesser effect. Having lighter and smaller competitors in there who have greater flexibility might actually allow them to do stuff in the cell that we haven't seen before.

Not the Rock. Goldberg is and was a big fish on a small pond. The Rock is a whale in a teardrop.

I don't care how big The Rock, is, I specifically mentioned quality because The Rock,'s return went over like a wet fart with me. His work with Cena did almost nothing for me. I didn't connect with anything really.

 

[Pink Ranger]

The Rock,'s return went over like a wet fart with me.

It felt really good at first, but you regretted it almost immediately after, and it didn't play well in front of a live audience?

 

[SuperBatman]

LOL Big E reaction there.

 

[Wheels]

My problem with The Rock's return feuds with Cena is that I never got that feeling where it was anything more than a friendly rivalry no matter how many times Rock ripped Cena, not that this couldn't and didn't work for a lot of people. There are just things left on the table to add heat to that feud and now the moment has passed and you can't go back to it, and it makes me a little sad when I think about it.

 

[Tvar10]

So i was a little confused by Goldberg saying Brock isnt next, hes last. basically saying hes only fighting once and then hes done?

I'd like to see him fight more than once, it doesn't seem like he'd come back just to lose to Brock, whoever loses that fight gets hurt....either Brock wins and they waste Goldberg's return with a loss....or they go against the 2 year buildup of Brock into a monster and have Goldberg win then leave.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Brock is going to win so he can go into WM and lose to Shane. *cue eyeroll emoji*

 

[Lead Cenobite]

It's going to make all those other full-time wrestlers that Lesnar squashed look terrible if Lesnar goes on to lose to an authority figure who occasionally dabbles in wrestling, no matter what elevation that authority figure performs elbow drops from.

 

[The Chris]

Yeah i like Shane but that should be a destruction.

 

[Lobo]

There's rumors of Shane vs Brock?

 

[X Knight]

I'd rather Brock vs Goldberg end in a draw.

 

[The Apocalypse]

There's rumors of Shane vs Brock?

Yeah, for Mania.

 

[Slushy]

He even came out to his WCW theme! It was an incredible, emotional return for Bill Goldberg. Gone for 12 years and the fans cheered him like he wrestled yesterday. WOW!
