No deal was reached but negotiations will continue. wrestlingobserver.com That sounds like some twisted slash one of Yuna's buddies would write. Well, fuck, we have Nathan Jones and Goldberg and Taker all coming in/back. Hossmania is inescapable--they won't put all of them on Raw to be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh for sure it was an accident I wouldn't suggest Bill did something like that on purpose but at the same time I'm not about to forgive him for career ending sloppyness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a damn accident, please. (Sorry bro, but I get really pissy over this, heh.) Accident or not- Goldberg could've taken responsiblity and been apologetic about it. Since WM is about to sell out without Goldberg they should not make any attempts to sign that no talent, washed up, selfish son of a bitch. Let him stay home and continue to mark out for himself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted January 10, 2003 Excuse me for understand that shit happens in the sport and accepting it and moving on. Have it be from Owen, to Bret, to Droz, to whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted January 10, 2003 There weren't reputations of sloppiness in those cases. And being rushed and green. Goldberg's done nothing to help his cause since then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted January 10, 2003 Goldberg never offically took responsibly for the incident. He never said: I'm really sorry, I fucked up or whatever. Goldberg has no respect for the business. Keep him at home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rob Edwards Report post Posted January 10, 2003 As far as Goldberg in WWE is concerned I've always been kinda morally split on it, as much as I hate him I'd still hire him if I needed a ratings boost Ah the joys of capitalism! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Rob Edwards Report post Posted January 10, 2003 I love Goldberg haters, it's so precious. :D Well he did end the career of Bret Hart and all DH, I might be able to forgive hime slightly if he'd compensated me with endless classic matches but he hasn't had any Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted January 10, 2003 I just find it entertaining to me, nothing personal. We are all free to hate who we want to, just like I despise Edge currently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EternallyLazy Report post Posted January 10, 2003 Say what you will about Edge but he's 50 times better than Goldberg will ever be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ram Report post Posted January 10, 2003 At least Edge doesn't radiate suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted January 10, 2003 I agree Edge is a LOT better than Goldberg, I simply prefer Goldy over Edge right now. I'd rather watch Goldberg take part in a match like he had with Hogan or DDP than watch a current Edge match. Edge is a good worker, but I just can't seem to get past his look, character, move set, and other such things to fully accept him. I know I can't say anything that will make Goldy look better than Edge, because I can't. I just personally prefer him, over the current version of Edge. You know... ...it isn't against the law to like a sub par worker, over one who is much better. I'm willing to bet each of you have someone you like for reasons other than their in ring work, even if they aren't that great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted January 10, 2003 If WM already drew, why waste a Million on Goldberg? You've already sold out Safeco Field, so they can have HHH/Spike Dudley if they wanted to. WM always draws Like the Superbowl (non-fans always watch it). If they were smart, they Use Goldberg for Summer Slam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rob Edwards Report post Posted January 10, 2003 point taken DH, I prefer Matt over Tajiri at the moment and obviously Tajiri is the better worker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted January 10, 2003 point taken DH, I prefer Matt over Tajiri at the moment and obviously Tajiri is the better worker I do as well, that is a very good pick. On a side note, I was watching an old ECW match (well not OLD, but you know what I mean) that had Tajir Vs. Super Crazy, and it's AMAZING how much Tajir's style has changed. I really don't think about it untill I watch his old matches, but DAMN is he a different wrestler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted January 10, 2003 Actually I believe section 168 of the smark charter of mark and marking states that it is NOT ok to like a wrestler of sub-par wrestling ability unless said wrestler's value is of: -A childhood favourite or -Of camp value.

Guest EternallyLazy Report post Posted January 11, 2003 Goldberg isn't a great worker, but he's not horrible. Anyone remember the series of matches he had with Steiner in 2000? They were surprisingly good, and really really stiff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
