Lesnar vs Goldberg??

[Stone Cold Tea]

There's a link on the main page where Brock Lesnar is hyping WWE 2K17. In the video Heyman tells Goldberg he did well playing a supporting role for the game and now the real star is here. Then Lesnar says to Goldberg 'You're Next!'.

Now this could just be promotional stuff or maybe it's leading to a match between the 2.

After the atrocity that's was their WMXX match would this be something that interests you guys?

Obviously there's the issue of it been 2 part time stars but I guess if they're facing each other they don't take a spot from someone else really.

I think what could be a problem though if they did square off is the match would just suck. On the Stone Cold podcast this week Ambrose accused Lesnar of been lazy. I think that if the fans started shitting over this early on then there will be no effort from the 2 of them.

It's video game hype. I wouldn't look into it so much. The things they do for that never have repercussions in the real world.

If they did actually wrestle, in 2017 or whatever, the match would likely suck, but not because Lesnar is "lazy". It's be mostly because Goldberg hasn't wrestled (or done anything even remotely close to it) in over a decade. And he's old.

 

[Goldberg's Lawyer]

I'm a huge Goldberg fan and I think he has enough unfinished business in the WWE to come back for a year or something. The mark in me would love to see Goldberg v Lesnar II, providing they actually put some effort in.

I think Goldberg could still be a big draw for the WWE and despite being 49 I think he could get in the right shape fairly easily for a short run.

Certainly I will be playing this match in WWE 2k17 regardless.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I can't say that I'm interested. Personally, I'm over Lesnar and the novelty of him being this unstoppable beast who's primary move set inside the ring is devoted almost exclusively to the German Suplex just doesn't do much for me. I mean, I'm not all that interested in Orton vs. Lesnar this Sunday and Randy Orton is universes better than Goldberg ever was and is still highly relevant, so my interest in Lesnar vs. Goldberg is pretty much zero.

As far as Lesnar possibly being "lazy", I can see that. A lot of people were looking forward to his match with Ambrose at WrestleMania and it did come off as just kinda ho hum; according to Ambrose, Lesnar was just flat out lazy during the match as he just didn't want to do much of anything. When I think about it, the whole Suplex City thing basically comes off as laziness when you get past the whole marketing aspect of it.

Goldberg hasn't wrestled in about 13 years or so and wasn't much to speak of when he was wrestling. The streak was great marketing hype, but that's ultimately all it was as I'm just not impressed with it being comprised mostly of forgettable jobbers. Plus, I'm not sure WWE has any real interest in it as talks have always broken down between them in the past. There are issues between Goldberg and WWE management in which there's ultimately no way to know how much is truth and how much isn't. Goldberg lays it all at WWE management's feet by saying it was because he got over in WCW while management's position has always been that he was difficult to work with and had an entitled attitude. So, when it's all said & done, who knows? Allegedly, and I'm not saying it's true because I've no way of knowing whether it is or isn't, Goldberg wants a huge chunk of money and ultimately wants to go over whomever he wrestles.

Would the match draw? I've little doubt that it would just because of the novelty of Goldberg wrestling once again. The match itself, in my opinion, would probably be one steaming pile because of Lesnar's Suplex City formula and legit doubts about Goldberg as to the fact that he hasn't wrestled in well over a decade.

 

[BestSportsEntertainer]

It's probably video game hype. Matches are teased all the time, so I wouldn't put that much thought into it.

If this do wrestle, it would be one of the worst decisions ever. These guys don't care. Remember their WM20 match? It was one of the worst ever.

Goldberg hasn't wrestled in 13 years. Also we could get Lesnar vs. Owens, Wyatt, Sheamus, Rusev, or Cesaro, all of which would be much better matches.

 

[Azane]

They had their chance to dance and they screwed people paying money to watch them, with their "phone it home" crapper of a match. Seriously, Goldberg vs Lesnar w/ Steve Austin Reffing at WM should of been a legendary match.

Now, I don't give a crap about this rivalry, and ya, as everyone else puts it, it's just more publicity and hype over their yearly 60$ roster update.

Seeing Goldberg actually do something with WWE is a nice nostalgia shot, but I don't want to actually see him wrestle. Couple bump spots, spear somebody, bam, paycheck that's bigger than the guys who wrestle 300 days a year for McMahon.

 

[Deoxyribonucleic A.C.I.D.]

If Lesnar can't have a good match with Ambrose or Rollins, I doubt Lesnar vs Golderg II would be any kind of spectacle.

Plus if you add Suplex, Suplex, Suplex vs 10-minute domination you might get a crashdown from both wrestlers, a black hole could open up and the energy emitted would be strong enough to cause a crack in time-space and open up a new dimension.

IF Goldnerg ever comes back to wrestle, then him and Lesnar on the same card but in different matches would be the ultimate draw. You can't just have Lesnar lose to Goldberg or Goldberg lose to Lesnar (which would be damn predictable).

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

What about a Lesnar and Goldberg tag team? The Dominating Powers ( Bad name but whatever) and challenge any duo Smackdown or Raw could put together for one night only.

 

[Psykohurricane55]

it's pretty much hype for the videogames and it's probably the first match i will do when i buy the games in october. But as a actual match in wwe, i don't see this happening mostly because both guys threat wrestling as a job and are doing it for the money and not for the love of the business so you will have 2 guys that have pretty much the same character and that won't want to lose the match so this will be a cluster and will suck. If goldberg comes back, i would put him with a guy that is available to have a good match and hide the flaws that goldberg would have so i would maybe put him against rusev or somebody like that. As far as lesnar is concern, why not have him wrestle samoa joe, it would light up a fire up is butt and joe could bring up the best out of lesnar.

Personally I have zero interest in seeing another battle of the part-timers. Lesnar and Goldberg were both on their way out of wrestling when they met 12 years ago at WrestleMania. That's no excuse for such a poor outing, but two guys who aren't into it are never going to produce magic.

Hopefully this is just for the videogame, but if it is going to happen I really hope these guys rehearse the match. Goldberg hasn't been in the ring for years and Lesnar really isn't the guy you look to when you want someone carried.

There's no understating how massive Goldberg was in 1998. He was a mainstream crossover hit. He was also dangerous and retired Bret (we'll never forgive you up here Bill). Goldberg shirts and crappy tattoos were everywhere, and just as popular as nWo, Austin, Rock, or DX.

If it happens (if), then I hope it doesn't go down at WrestleMania. Let it be at a Survivor Series or the Royal Rumble. But yeah, videogame hype is where this should stay. Everyone can play it out in WWE 2k17.

 

[Goththing]

I wonder if in the WWE2k17 game, Brock's controls will be like: UP + X = F5
The rest does
German Suplexes

 

[Xemmy]

I think people would like to see it. And I don't think it would get the same negative reaction this time around, assuming it was held in front of the right crowd.

But it wouldn't be a good match. It wouldn't have a good story, even with Paul Heyman doing his damnedest to keep it afloat. And I really don't care to see it. It would be a money match that would garner attention. And it would suck.

 

[damz07]

I have no interest in this match at all, however I do see the finish on Sunday not being clean, either Goldberg will distract Lesnar for Orton to hit an RKO, or Bray will distract Orton for an F5. This way someone gets the creditable win whilst the other has an excuse leading to a potential feud! We saw a bit or Bray/Orton on Smackdown.

Just my thoughts

I don't want to see the match but the match would fill seats at WM 33 for sure. Unlike the hype Punk/SCSA had for WWE 13, I think a match between Brock and Goldberg again could be a real thing.

 

[Dragonslayer]

Honestly? I'd rather see Cena vs Goldberg.

As has been stated, Lesnar/Goldberg has a bad vibe to it due to their WM20 outing, and with both of them - if at all - being part-timers, a second match doesn't have too much appeal.

If however WWE brought back Goldberg with a similar schedule as Lesnar has had these past few years, for a few big matches at the PPVs, that could still be interesting - depending on the shape Goldberg can get himself in; he's 49 years old now, and has naturally put off some mass over the years, and his physique was definitely always part of his whole appeal, as he needed those high impact moves (i.e. spear) to come over as dominant as he did.

But if he gets himself in shape (and with the rather "loose" interpretation WWE has of its wellness policy when it comes to part-timers, I'd consider it possible), he could have a few interesting feuds and matches, just for the marquee value of it, e.g. a "Spear vs Spear" type of feud with Roman Reigns, or just simply a Cena vs Goldberg match would seem viable ideas, if only so as to give both guys something to do and keep them out of the World / Universal title pictures for a little longer.

In any case, I consider a Goldberg return quite unlikely, though I was a big fan growing up, watching him in WCW. He sure was never the greatest wrestler, but he was red hot and over as hell back in the days, and still has some name value to him - if only due to the fact that he's been gone from the scene for so long now.

As for Summerslam... I imagine Bray Wyatt might interfere to cost Randy Orton the match against Lesnar, that way Randy is protected (and doesn't have to lose to Brock on his first match back) and Brock can also maintain his "unstoppable beast" persona. I'd consider this Wyatt interference more likely than a Goldberg interference (though I would admittedly just mark out if the music cued up during the Lesnar/Orton match, hah).

 

[BigDaddyKewl]

From a story line point of view, it would be an easy build up with Lesnar and Goldberg's history. Goldberg defeated Lesnar before they both departed from the WWE. With Lesnar being known as the conquerer, Goldberg is the one man Lesnar has never defeated or conquered.
But it seems like it's only a dream to see Goldberg wrestle again. As others have mentioned he has aged and is not in the shape he was when he last wrested in 2003. I'd imagine WWE would want to make a deal with Goldberg to do some interviews for the WWE Network and a Hall of Fame induction but beyond that it seems like it's highly unlikely.

Goldberg says he will be in NYC on Sunday and that "he'll see what he can do" for the fans for a comeback. I'd imagine he will cost Lesnar the match Sunday. That way Orton becomes a full time champ and Lesnar/Goldberg build something towards WM or the next big event...SS?

This too.

Is there too much hype for just a video game? Paul Heyman is loving it...
