I SAY HELL NO. His run last year was horrible and I dont think he can help them
Plus Goldberg recently badmouthed the WWE
THE NEWS
It appears that with the loss of Brock Lesnar, and with Kurt Angle on the shelf for the time being, the WWE has decided to reopen negotiations with Goldberg about a return to the company. Officials have offered Goldberg a new deal that would only have him work limited dates (i.e. PPV's and most TV shows), and would build to a large program with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. While many feel that Goldberg will return once the time and money is right, Goldberg has been debating whether it will be better for his career to stay off WWE TV for a while, or to return quickly so that the fans don't forget about him

If Golderg comes back...I think it will be for one reason...the much anticipated feud with Austin...I know...Austin can't wrestle...but I think Goldberg is back by WMXXI in some kind of feud with Austin.

I wasn't impressed with his stay in the WWE. I wasn't overly impressed with his stay in the WCW. I wouldn't like to see him back. In fact, I would like to see more technical wrestlers and less pure power wrestlers. True, Goldberg had his moments of technical showing, but they were few and far between. Time to push some newer talent. Or, better yet, give some of the guys who are already there, and who deserve it, a push. That's what I would like to see.

I hope to never see Bill Goldberg in a wrestling ring again. I am hard pressed to think of an entertaining one-on-one match in which he participated in over the course of the past 12 months. The Goldberg-Lesnar match was the worst major WM match I have seen since Hogan was headlining the shows. The sad part, however, is that, for the most part, that is the only kind of match Goldberg seems to be able, or at least willing, to put on. No one, apparently, is allowed to look to good in the ring against Goldberg for fear that he might not look completely invincible. The character of Goldberg has become so ridiculous that the night that Triple H, Randy Orton, and Bautista all executed their respective finishers on him, I was nearly certain that Goldberg would get up and proceed to kick the hell out of all three men. Thankfully that did not happen, but I still had to endure watching everyone from The Rock to Chris Jericho to Brock Lesnar act like they were scared to death of him. So, with that said, my response to the poll question is an overwhelming "HELL NO!"

I remember Taz and Cole talkin bout how Shelton Benjamin used to throw Lesnar around in college. Now Benjamin can barely get a move off?! Whats up with that. Im glad to see the both of them go |

Im glad to see the both of them go I feel what you are saying. Perhaps the reason that I prefer Lesnar to Goldberg is mainly the fact that Lesnar has more than than three moves he is capable of executing. Also, there is no way I could picture Goldberg being willing to drop a title, or even a regular match for that matter, to a guy like Eddie Guerrero. Hell, Goldberg thought losing to Jericho was beneath him. |

That's the reason, if I had to choose, I would pick Lesnar over Goldberg. Lesnar has the talent to actually entertain me during a match. Most of the matches that I have ever watched with Goldberg have not gone beyond the ten minute mark. I'll admit that I did root for Goldberg when he first debuted. But, after the novelty of the win streak wore off, it got really boring watching matches that consisted of a superkick, press slam, spear, jackhammer, three count. It would be nice to see some power wrestlers that had the technical prowess that they could work a twenty minute match and make it believable. Brock Lesnar was in that mold for me. But, I can live without either one of these guys right now. |

Did anyone else also realize that once a wrestler gets pushed to Main Event status, his arsenal gets smaller?

I blame the WWE for Goldberg's failure this past year.They clearly had no idea on how to best use his character.Now, I'm no Goldberg mark,but i find it hard to blame him for this one.When he was champion,rather than finding interesting new angles for him,they threw him into countless ppv's against HHH(how many rematches does a former champ need?).Right now it looks like Edge is gonna be the next big thing on RAW...until he makes HHH mad!

I can't think of any interesting angles for Goldberg, because the rule when wrestling the chump is not to look to good. He no-sells practically everything the opponent does, and the majority of his own offense involves stalking around the ring, shaking his head and spitting.

I say no. Goldberg is a great character, and if used the right way, can be a big draw for the WWE. That being said, he has WAY too big an ego, is a crappy 3 move wrestler, and doesn't care about the business like many others do (Benoit, HHH, Taker, etc.) I say let Goldberg go and wrestle in Japan, earn his money (the only reason he does it in the first place) and try and make it as a movie star...which he won't. He got really lucky in WCW because they were short on stars, and he had a great look and a great angle...I even liked him when he was Bill Goldberg feuding with McMichael of the 4 Horseman...but it just got to the point where you could tell Goldberg wasn't interested in putting others over or being a part of 'the team'. He used to say he didn't like the things that WCW or WWE were doing, cause they clashed with his beliefs, but now he's in this movie called 'Santa's Slay' where he plays a psycho Santa who kills people? The guy is a total hypocrite and is only interested in making $$ and being a star...and I for one hope neither happens. He had his chance...NEXT!

I don't buy the whole "WWE didn't use Goldberg the right way"! How do you use a guy like that?
Sure Goldberg got over well at first in WCW when he was on "the Streak". When Goldberg was beating up Hugh Morris and other midcarders every week he looked good. Once Kevin Nash broke the streak it was all down hill for Goldberg. When he had to wrestle main event guys instead of jobbers he was done for. Honestly, what did Goldberg ever do after the streak was over? He ended Bret Hart's career and teamed with Dwyane "the Sarge" Bruce (lifetime jobber). What was the WWE supposed to do, put him against Matt Hardy, Stevie Richards and Test every week so he could build another streak? Fans would argue he wasn't getting a push! Plus they only had a year contract and he wrestled limited shows, in would have taken Goldberg about 4 or 5 years to pull off another 180 match win streak! So they did what they had to do... put him in the main event. Now why should Goldberg beat Triple H for the title? Goldberg only wrestles a limited amount of house shows and Triple H is always there, if YOU went to a house show and the champ wasn't there wouldn't YOU be disappointed? That is why Goldberg or HBK should not be champion.

Goldberg needs to go back to Japan, he fits in better there. All they do are stiff shots and no sells. He's perfect for that!!!

Goldberg ended his career perfectly. Having Austin drop him on his chin and bring one good point to the worst WM match in years.

Hell, Goldberg thought losing to Jericho was beneath him. Ya, if you ask me now with what each of them has done over the past 2 years or so... Jericho jobbing to Goldberg is beneath HIM! Brotherfury |

You aren't lying about that. After all, Jericho is the King of the World, and Goldberg is nothing more than a joker.
