Everyone writing off Goldberg always makes me laugh. How many of you were actually fans when he was at his peak in WCW? The guy was larger than life, and a goddamn star.
Conveniently, it seems like most people leave that out or try to play it off.

Conveniently, it seems like most people leave that out or try to play it off. I was watching and he was a star back then---in the late 90s. He certainly didn't have the same reaction in '04 and now it's 7 years later. He's too old to take WWE in any new direction. Time passes everyone by. He would get a good nostalgia pop, but he would fizzle quickly.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
I don't understand why so many wrestlers want to burn bridges like that. But he like Bischoffs book "Controversy Creates Cash"

People ****ting all over him on here, saying he was "nothing" or was "never relevant" are trying to rewrite history more so than the WWE has done. Bill Goldberg was never a technician, he wasn't the most talented guy on the roster - by a long shot, but he had unreal charisma, and was able to connect with the crowd with an intensity that hadn't been seen in someone since the Ultimate Warrior. All he had to do was snarl, and yell - and people went ape **** for him. He plowed through wrestlers left and right with spear, after insane spear, jackhammer after wicked jackhammer, and people ate it up. It bugs me when people ignore that, or pretend it never happened.

So he isn't back then, he's going somewhere new.

To each their own, but your disliking of him doesn't speak for the tons of fans that went nuts and joined the Goldberg bandwagon back then.

I was...but then, he IMHO he let it go to his head, made lost of remarks about the business and the people that put him there that were disrespectful. I marked when he beat Hogan..but after that, the gimmick became stale as did hos persona. he never grew past a spear, roar and jackhammer yet made it a point to tell everyone how good he was downing guys who paved the way for him. Jericho never needed to have his named piped in to artificially inflate his popularity.

Agreed, he was indeed a big deal. I just think he let it go to his head expecting to be treated and received the same as guys who were Legends in comparison. I will say I've met him and he was a nice guy to me and made it a point to sign autographs for kids outside a convention hall, for free when asked. That was kind of cool.

I remember when I was 13 or 14 my mom brought home a Goldberg tank top from K-Mart for me.
"You like this guy, right?"
You stupid *****...

Apparently theres a show going on in the Democratic Republic of Congo in October & Goldberg is gonna wrestle for it. Kurt Angle, MVP, Matt Hardy, Batista, Shawn Daivari, Nathan Jones, Luke Gallows, Chris Jericho, Ric Flair and Shelton Benjamin are also being promoted. I read that they are calling it Rumble in The Jungle II.

But all I'm saying is, it wasn't just the NWO and Sting that made WCW like magic for a good while. Goldberg was an integral part of that too.

I remember how big he was, but I've never cared for him. You'd think growing up a big wrestling fan and a big Falcons fan that I would have been a Goldberg mark. I wasn't. I didnt care for the squash matches, the hype, of the "big" match against Hogan. Then when he came to WWE and had such a massive ego, so massive that he left because they didn't push him like WCW had. And I cared for even less. I don't want him back to be honest.

Goldberg's journey was cool..especially before he really started speaking. They could have made it so much better than they did. After winning the strap from Hogan they should have really made the most of it before handing him that loss. Actually, who was his first real, clean loss to anyway? I'm not talking run-ins, DQ's etc. I mean an actual, pin/submit loss..I don't remember one from WCW.
