Goldberg's "one last match".

[hatehabsforever]

The thing that I cannot wrap my mind around regarding a return by Goldberg for one last match is the logistics of how it would play out.

He allegedly wants to come back to show his son what he can do in the ring. OK, that's noble, but think it through. I cannot imagine he would come back as a heel in these circumstances, although it would be possible. In general, though, when guys return from lengthy absences, the fans cheer them and so it would be hard for him to be a heel, unless he did something drastic and sudden and "heelish" to draw immediate heat, but this just doesn't seem to be in keeping with impressing his son.

So he returns as a face. So who is his opponent. It would likely be a heel. Could be Edge, Jericho, Punk, or select few others but let's face it, with an ego as big as Goldberg's, he's not going to come back and face just anyone. For example, I don't think he'd come back to go against a relative newcomer such as Swagger or McIntyre. Again, I could be wrong but I just don't see it.

If he fights a big name, whether it be heel or face, I cannot see him losing. Why return from retirement only to lose a match, especially at Wrestlemania or something like that? Again, his ego will preclude it. So he would have to come back and be victorious in his swan song.

How does this benefit WWE? Having Goldberg return to defeat Cena, or HHH, or Orton, or any other guy who will be sticking around. I just don't think the upside would be enough to warrant this happening.

Forget him ending the streak. That's not happening in a million years, having the infamous streak ended by a guy who spent such a short time in WWE and was so critical of it since his departure.

I could see him coming back as a guest referee or something like this, and get involved in the action, especially if he's going into the Hall of Fame at the supposed WCW-themed WM27. Or having some action against another guy who's not sticking around (such as the Rock or SCSA). These scenarios are not that likely either.

So while on the surface it seems to be a good idea, I just don't see how logistically it could all play out to benefit all involved parties.

here is my idea, Goldberg wants one last match, have him come back as the guy who put Undertaker in the veg state, leading them up to facing off, have all the guys that Kane been going after take on Goldburge in matches where they get destroyed to hype Goldberg return, its about 8 months till wrestlemania, not sure when undertaker will be ready for a return, if its going to be a bit would be good, bring golderg in having him be the guy and confront Kane and have kane and goldberg go at it in a pay-per-view have kane destroyed leading more repubution from undertaker when he comes back.

if Goldberg was to come back Vince is not going to waste this shot on just anyone, have to be someone top like Undertaker and with him out on this someone took him out, it would be so cool having him as the guy cause they could build it up to wrestle mania and hopefully blow the roof off the place if done right.

Besides, triple H has shamus when he comes probably be a wrestle mania return for triple H fighting shamus for taking out triple H.

be interesting

I'm a big Goldberg fan so I'm hoping he really does come back for one more match. Here are a few thoughts I have.

1. If this year's Mania is all about inducting WCW guys, then I expect Goldberg to headline the class and have his return match be at the ppv.

2. Goldberg would come back as a face and he would most likely beat whoever he faced so you can throw out all of the Cena, Taker, and Orton matches.

3. Goldberg would take on one of the better heels so I'm thinking guys like Miz, Jericho, Edge, Sheamus, Jack Swagger, and CM Punk would all be in the mix. I also think the WWE would want the lead up to his return match to be on RAW and considering he has already feuded with Jericho in the past it looks to me like Edge, Miz, and Sheamus are the three best choices.

Miz and Sheamus could get a good rub from taking Goldberg to the limit but I think the WWE would stay away from the younger guys and go with a veteran. That leaves Edge. Edge is a good worker so the match would have the potential of being good, plus you have the built in storyline of Spear vs Spear. All things considered, Goldberg vs Edge would be the best option.

On a side note, if the WWE did decide to go with the "dream match" of Goldberg vs Cena then I definitely wouldn't be mad. Cena wouldn't lose any credibility if he lost to Goldberg and the match would be a huge draw. I'm just not sure if the WWE would want the companies biggest star to be completely out of the title picture at Wrestlemania and taking on a guy who is only returning for one match.

if goldberg was to have one last match,i honestly like to see him an taker at mania because you really don't know if taker would lose to him and,realistic besides kane as of right now,goldberg is the only prson that could physically make taker. and i can't remember those two feuding in the past. could you imagine the story line,vinnie mac is getting tired of hearing about"the streak" taker has,and can't find anyone on the roster,so her hires someone that he feel's who could end it. he hears that goldberg has one match left and makes him an offer that goldberg likes can't refuse.goldberg says that he'll wrestle one time and it can only be against the best,vinnie says he has a person in mind.the would be a nice intro for the one tim match and feud.

the whole goldberg vs taker thing, goldberg def doesnt deserve the match, but did mark henry? anyways it could be played out well storyline wise, everyone would be wondering since its his return and last match if he could end takers streak, they could bill it out as (no pun intended) as goldberg hasd the better streak, and taker only had 18 wins while goldberg had over a hundred or so, could be a good idea

Well, we all knew Henry was on The Streak because Vince believed Taker could carry him into a legendary match, which was an epic fail since it turned out to be the worst casket match ever. That's why Taker's been getting 4 main eventers in a row at the last 4 WM, cause Vince finally realized talentless giants wouldn't do sh*t for The Streak other than adding embarrassments and horrible matches. Before this, Taker couldn't have had more than 3 Wrestlemania matches without suffering a talentless giant on the next Mania. Snuka & Roberts, suddenly he got Gonzales & Bundy. Diesel, Sid, and Kane suddenly he got Boss Man. Triple H, Flair, and Big Show suddenly he got A-Train. Kane & Orton suddenly he got Henry. But now, Batista, Edge, Shawn Michaels, and Shawn Michaels again? Wow, that's something new!

And get your facts right, the 173-0 has been long dead. If it's still alive, 173-0 vs 18-0 sounds good enough. But since it's long dead, 173-1 vs 18-0 sounds ridiculous. And what makes it more ridiculous is some people believe 173-1 vs 18-0 is a good idea. It's been long ended, get over it and move on.

And do u actually think Goldberg would want his one last match to result on a loss regardless the fact he might actually agreed to one more match because he wants to show his wife and son he's still a victor and he's still got it? In front of his hometown? If Shawn Michaels, a certified WWE legend, didn't end The Streak after two matches then I don't know what makes people would think Goldberg, a WCW legend, would be allowed to end The Streak by Vince Freaking McMahon.

Goldberg doesn't want to lose his last match, Vince doesn't want Taker to lose The Streak, no Taker vs Goldberg. Ever. End of story.

Goldberg vs Orton or Goldberg vs Sheamus sounds good enough. Taker can enjoy a match with Cena or Jericho, who could actually afford to lose.

To anyone who's saying "face 'Taker at 'Mania!" did you even READ the intial post I made? Goldberg wants to show HIS SON how he wrestles, do you really think he wants to lose of all things?

Well first of all, Bret Hart can't wrestle anymore. He had a stroke and his insurance policy restricts him from wrestling, if I recall. That squash of McMahon at Mania where he took zero bumps doesn't count. Goldberg had that match with Lesnar and it stunk out the place, so one more match to create a better parting memory wouldn't hurt. Who against, I don't know. If it's at Mania, maybe vs. Big Show. He usually has that type of upper mid-card match at Mania, and it's the only decent match-up I can think of just because of the size factor, given Goldberg's ring rust and lack of actual ring ability to begin with. But on novelty alone it could be a memorable Mania match.

 

[Dr. Stinger A. Zoidberg]

I would think he would face The Undertaker if he came back for one more match. Either him or Randy Orton. Now, we all know that Goldberg isnt exactly a wizard when it comes to in-ring skills, however he would need someone who can help him carry the match. Both Undertaker and Randy Orton know how to do this. Orton more-so than Taker at this point. However, either way, knowing Goldberg, the match would be average at best. Even with someone carrying him through it, Goldberg would need to have some big spots in the match where he is on his own. I really dont think Goldberg can do that. However, if he does come back for one last match, I'd put my money on him facing either The Undertaker or Randy Orton.

He could be good in both feds but, the better matches would probably be in wwe. In tna the guys i'd wanna see him in the ring with are Samoa Joe and abyss maybe matt morgan. In wwe he would have more of a selection with guys like cena, orton, edge, taker and sheamus. Those would be good to see, tna or wwe.

 

[mulkeymania]

how about in tna with one man who probably could make the match huge and come off good if anyone could----good ole stinger himself?
