And then the next night, Russo came out in the ring with Tank Abbott and told Goldberg he would have to fight Abbott, who "if this crap was real" would have defeated Goldberg when they wrestled each other two months earlier. The strange thing was that Goldberg and Abbott's brawling looked fairly stiff and realistic, showing that had they gone through with that match as the main event for Starrcade 2000 (as was planned at one point), it might not have been half-bad (but then there's a very good chance it might have been completely awful).
