Guest Super Pissed Smark Report post Posted August 25, 2003 You know it just occured to me, did Goldberg just do the J-O-B? At the second biggest PPV of the year? To a guy he legitimately does not like? Doesn't he have some sort of "reasonable creative control" clause in his contract? And didn't he specifically say, in many interviews, that he would never put Triple-H over? What does Vince have photos of him with? Or did Vince wave some cash in front of him, as an engagement gift to Triple-H perhaps, to get Goldie to lay down? I can't believe that Goldberg would buy any promises of getting a win back at the next PPV over Trips, considering how often plans change and how suddenly injured Trips seems to get and how resistant he is to giving up his belt. Someone explain this to me, I'm clearly missing something. Why did Goldberg agree to this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if he didn't use his creative control clause because he didn't want to. ...I'm fucking shocked. That ending to EC2 killed his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That ending to EC2 killed his career. My bet is that either GB had his creative clause revoked on him or he's getting snowballed by HHH and Vince into jobbing at ss with the plan of him getting the title and his win back at the next PPV being taken away from him and them driving him away, which they would then use to justify keeping HHH on top because he's a "team player" unlike GB....

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 I really don't see how he can ressurect himself after that. I could. HHH gets the Goldberg Squash. That'll be the only way Goldberg could be saved. And fuck, let's not forget that this just kills ANY chance HHH had at going face. There's no way he could get any face pops now. None. But he'll be shoved down our faces as a face as soon as they can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cawthon777 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 HHH gets the Goldberg Squash. *Pictures Warrior / Honkytonk from Summer Slam 88* *Crosses fingers* Truthfully, it wouldn't hurt Triple H at all since he's already beaten Goldberg. He could claim it was a fluke and order for a rematch ... which Goldberg wins. Then Triple H is regulated to midcard where he makes quick work of Chris Jericho.

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted August 25, 2003 They're in a tough spot with Goldberg now. He finally connected with the crowd but then got promptly jobbed to the guy who's managed to kill every upper card face's heat except for HBK. Now we have a rematch that to salvage Goldberg at all, he has to win clean. Of course this is the WWF so we know that won't happen. Goldberg will look like he's just keeping the belt warm for Trips if he doesn't pin him clean in the middle of the ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubq 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 I really don't see how he can ressurect himself after that. What are you talking about? He had his head smashed in with a fucking sledgehammer, several times. If that's not an excuse for losing, I don't know what is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilhomer 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Okay, maybe I'm missing something here, but I seem to remember Goldie making HHH his personal bitch prior to the sledge being brought in. Plus he got to dispose of 3 out of 5 of the contenders in the match. HHH only got the win and the subsequent beatdown with the help of a foreign object and help from The Evolution. That doesn't sound like much of a burial to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 That sledgehammer shot was so weak that I can't believe WWE had the balls to have someone job to that. Especially Goldberg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilhomer 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 That's something I can agree with Barron. It was obviously the booked finish, but the two of them should have seen how weakly it went down and improv'd a dazed GB walking into one more shot. It looked even worse on the replays when you could clearly see it barely grazing GB's shoulder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Well I am sure a sledgehammer shot to the head sounded good when they went over the finish backstage or whenever. I thought they built Goldberg up well in the match and now fans have a further reason to want to see Goldberg beat HHH next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Well it was the Clash of the two Men the Smarks hate the most...who are the lesser of the two Evil Anti Smarks HHH or Goldberg? HHH least has or had at some point a pure love of the business... Goldberg is there for the check and to look good doing it regardless who's career he crushes and mangles. it will be more uncertain outcome when ever they do get Goldberg vs HHH I suppose Goldberg sees it as a decent trade off he got to Squash Three other guys before even getting to HHH in under 5 minutes which is the usual standard Goldy match. HHH of course had the sledgehammer, just as good as Hall's Tazer. and HHH gets the pin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldberg is there for the check and to look good doing it regardless who's career he crushes and mangles. Yea no shit Sherlock. That doesn't excuse the horrible finish. I very rarely ever get emotional watching a PPV. And the ending to Summerslam made me extremely pissed off. it will be more uncertain outcome when ever they do get Goldberg vs HHH Goldberg's invincibility is gone. Didn't they learn ANYTHING from WCW? What happens when you kill Goldberg's invincibility? You kill Goldberg. HHH of course had the sledgehammer, just as good as Hall's Tazer. and HHH gets the pin. And Hall's tazer causing Goldberg to lose really turned out to be a great idea eh Trivia? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ManKinnd Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Does everyone remember that before this Goldberg was getting booed every match with the heel's spots getting cheered?

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 He's had more then one crowd behind him. Madison Square Garden (WWE's home arena) went crazy for him. Goldberg as champion is better then HHH winning a match with 5 other people by doing one move Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thst still doesn't justify the fact that Triple H should not have gone over tonight in the manner that he did. They were finally booking him correctly and showed that they knew what they were doing- and they dropped the ball Tonight Goldberg could be booed out of the arena.

Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Bob - I agree they used him well in the match, but they couldn't keep up doing what they were doing - destroying three or so of their main wrestlers wrapped in a gimmick match anyone is bound to get a pop. At that rate, he would be through any potential challengers for him within 2 months and then what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
