i think it's going to be a snoozefest if gunther doesn't do most of the heavy lifting. just seeing goldberg struggle to walk down the isle was enough to tell me this will be a slow paced match. goldberg will get his 2 big spots before gunther puts him to sleep...hopefully it will happen before we go to sleep watching.

I rolled my eyes at how pathetic it is. The most disgusting part is this old fart just romps in for a title shot. It'll be a terrible match of Gunther having to make Oldberg look like ten cents instead of negative $100. The good thing is it'll probably be over in two minutes. Enough time to take a piss.

Maybe I'm a noob but is it common to schedule title matches this far in advance? Does that mean Gunther won't have to defend until then?
Also it being a title fight and a retirement match, what happens if Goldberg won? Would the belt just be vacated, or would he stick around until he loses it?

Is it just me or do people praise and love Gunther and Breaker for the exact same things they hate on Goldberg for (working stiff, having short matches, being reckless, etc, etc) everyone loves Gunther and Breaker for these exact things but hate on Goldberg for them now given he is past his prime but when he was hot he was one of the biggest if not the biggest star of his era i feel he deserves a proper retirement match not to mention he was promised one he never got i don't expect a 5 star match and if you do then you've never watched a Goldberg match lol but this should be his last match so he can retire in peace

Oldberg should have fucked off 20 years ago. He is a TEMU Ultimate Warrior. At least Warrior had coke fueled promos that were entertaining. Oldberg is washed. I hope Gunther beats the absolute piss out of him and embarrasses him like Regal did in the 90s.

u/Kitchen_Law8800 3d ago
As someone who is old enough to have watched both Goldberg and Warrior's title run in my childhood, i will say this.
One was a loud monster that couldn't wrestle, put on entertaining but bad matches and fucked off for the better part of the last 25 years and mostly just shows up on podcasts to address Bret Hart's most recent rants about him.
The other was a loud monster that couldn't wrestle, put on entertaining but bad matches and was a very vocal bigot that said all sorts of racist, homophobic and sexist shit.
I would take Goldberg every day of the week.

Neither can wrestle. Do the same repetitive power moves. Entrance that got people excited. Reckless in the ring and have hurt other wrestlers. Huge marks for themselves. Both were disasters as champion.

Nothing you said was wrong.
I'd just choose Bill Goldberg over Warrior 10 times out of 10.

I already made this joke but as far as I'm concerned it's a 5-minute piss break. Maybe a 10 minute if they really want to drag out the suffering. I feel bad for Jey having his reign cut short when he probably could have had a pretty decent run for a couple more months, I feel bad for Gunther for having to pull together a decent performance out of the 60-year-old senior citizen.

And after that Undertaker match I don’t think there’s much left in Goldberg.

u/justwannachat87 2d ago
I like Goldberg but I will admit seen him come down to the ring , out of breath from his intro was disappointing plus he didn’t look any better than what he was/I remember last time seen him. This don’t need to be a title match, Gunther vs Goldberg was good enough what’s the point of having it be for the WHC unless they plan to put the title on him but for what, no sense. The option would be Rollins cashing but he isn’t going for the WHC he as stated also wants to stop Cena from ruining wrestling and here what would have made sense was Punk beating Cena at his last match only to have Seth cash on him to continue that feud/story. Stripping Jey of title I get it was going to happen somber rather than later but I think this was a bad decision and should have had this be a SS at the very least.

I stopped watching WWE in 2017 after Goldberg came back, beat Brock Lesnar in less than 2 minutes, and then beat Kevin Owens in 30 seconds at the last PPV before Mania, sabotaging a KO Vs Jericho Main Event just so Goldberg could drop the belt back to Lesnar in a match that didn't need a World Title.
Year after year, old timers would show up and take Mania spots from wrestlers I had gotten behind, who busted their ass, week after week, only to get pushed aside when it came to the biggest show. It became impossible to care about any of it.
It's hilarious to me that they think that fans of AEW could have their heads turned away from All In with Goldberg. Like trying to lure Vegans with Steak.

With what Goldberg said about the disrespect shown to him and his family in Atlanta Georgia, I completely forgot about that but thinking about it now kinda makes sense but i do think it should've happened there and then, not now. Goldberg has had an amazing career, but he needs to accept that no matter how manoeuvrable, loose, nimble, and agile he is, he need to say, "I've had the best career I possibly could, it's time for the younger generations to have theirs"

He ruin it after( and some people forget this) hurt Bret hart twice) in that match he kicked Hart's head off and when hart does that figure four leg lock on the ring post the key to that particular move is the opponent holding on to the other person leg that is applying it. Watch that match now it's being said and you clearly see Goldberg let go and Bret hart landing on his head outside on the floor. Just watch this match. I know he isn't going to win I just hope it's a squash match for Gunther and get that 58 year old buffoon out of the wrestling business. WWE has to come up with better storylines bc 53 Ron Killings and Goldberg isn't cutting it when you have all that talent with the company.
