Guest Sushi X Report post Posted September 30, 2003 I must admit the $100, 000 head on Goldberg is an interesting angle. They could really write this angle well if they want. Of course they have started off with the lower level wrestlers attacking Goldberg and losing. That was expected. Now they can really build the angle. Now Goldberg can think that he is ok and in the clear, thinking that he showed the rest of the locker room that he is untouchable. The key will be wrestlers that you do not expect to gun for Goldberg to start attacking him and trying to put him "on the shelf" as HHH said. The Mark Henry mini push will be over soon so he will be dispatched very soon. Here are some interesting plot developments that would be interesting to see. 1. Someone jumps Goldberg on the way to the ring. 2. The Diva's get together and attack Goldberg. Would he fight back? 3. A possible wrestler from Smackdown makes a jump and attempts to collect the cash. (This could help with the weak Heavy weight Title scene.) 4. Highly unlikely but the Rock makes a return for revenge and the $100, 000. 5. Someone gets the A.P.A to attack Goldberg and they split the cash. What will happen I bet will HHH will beat Goldberg and keep his money. This could be a good angle. If nothing else wrestlers that do not get alot of screen time can get on televison. Thoughts?

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 this allows the WWE too throw every heel and tweener at Goldberg without them going into a drawn out angle, leaving the Main eventers to feud with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 I love this angle, and it's making me that much more interested in RAW. For one, we just MIGHT get to see a comedic aspect over and over, while still making Goldberg look like a monster. Just imagine some moron just TRYING week after week to take him out, only to get totally destroyed by Goldberg each time. I'd love to see that. I also love the angle, because for some reason it just feels so WCWish, and I'm a huge sucker for (just about) all things WCW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 When its time for HHH to come back, a face takes out Goldberg, then gets paid off by HHH. Then later they show the face and Goldberg in a conspiracy and splitting HHH's dough, pissing him off more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Styles 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 It's a great way to set up midcarders ala Stevie Richard and Mark Henry for squashes against Goldberg without seeming like it's just thrown out there like it was in WCW (how many times did he wrestle Jerry Flynn or Meng?)

OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 I hope they don't get too out of hand like the Hardcore title 24-7 thing. I don't want to see Goldberg getting jumped while he's napping or coming out of the shower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 It's definitely going to be a good way to set up squashes, though is it just me or did they take this idea from what MLW did with Funk and Corino? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jester 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 This could also be used to elevate a low/mid-card heel. Just have him chairshot Goldberg at the right moment, and then he can be all over Raw flashing his cash and drawing heat. I think it's a pretty good angle with lots of (dare I say it) potential. It made me sit up and pay attention, which is more than Raw has managed in months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 Yet another reason why wrestling sucks now ... if this happened 10-20 years ago, the payoff would be some new superstar debuting in a promotion. This new guy would debut and assault the person who had a bounty on their head (while announcer Vince would be screaming ' Who is this?!? We've never seen this man before!!!') Now, you just presume that it'll either be Batista coming back, or no one will claim it until hhh comes back. Or, it'll be forgotten in a month. Or something like that.

Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted September 30, 2003 I like the potential in this angle - it helps cover Goldbergs weaknesses, possibly build new stars, and leaves a logical angle for HHH on his return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted September 30, 2003 It's not the most creative angle, as it's been done many times over with various prices but it's better then most stuff wwe writers have come up with, perhaps they are just starting to watch those NWA footages...

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 why not just make it bigger? $500,000? I doubt the WWE could make that much fake money to offer as a false reward for an angle. Or maybe it's meant to show the ego of Triple H? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
