SourceIt was previously reported that prior to his match against Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series, Bill Goldberg signed with the company to work through WrestleMania. Since then, Goldberg has been announced to work the first RAW of 2017 on January 2nd from Tampa. The company has also added Goldberg to the January 23 RAW event from Cleveland at The Q Arena. Regarding how many dates Goldberg signed for, we have been informed that he has signed for thirteen appearances with the company heading into WrestleMania season. Those appearances include three matches as well – one being the Rumble Battle Royal and a rematch against Brock Lesnar that is rumored for WrestleMania 33. In an updated to our earlier report, We can now confirm that his third match will be at the WWE Fastlane event, which takes place on March 5th in Milwaukee. Goldberg is expected to be used heavily on RAW until WrestleMania 33. The belief is that Mania’ will be his final match before he rides off into the sunset.

I probably would have just booked him for a Rumble & Mania match. Keep him as a special attraction.

While I can agree with this but having Goldberg work Fastlane is a promotional tactic to get people to watch. On the subject of special attractions, Brock Lesnar is being advertised for the March 12th SmackDown house show at Madison Square Garden.

Maybe some kind of tag team match?
If he's going to have an actual match at Mania, he's going to need something. So this doesn't shock me.
If you're going to pay the guy to come back, might as well get your money's worth. It's whatever. It's not like he can make Raw any worse.

i liked the idea of him just fighting brock but i am open minded to him having a fastlane match. hopefully not against roman.
braun would be cool for the spear/jackhammer alone. and they're building him up, so squashing him to goldberg wouldn't really be beneficial.

Anybody think that they are booking Goldberg like this because he can't actually wrestle anymore?
The 1+ minute squash of Lesnar,...putting him in the Rumble........I just go back to that segment with Rusev where Goldberg went to hit him and just fell down for no reason.
I know that the majority of his wins during his streak in WCW were short squashes, and anytime he had to have a longer more competitive match, ala Regal, he struggled and looked bad.
I just don't know where they are going with this. Goldber and Lesnar couldn't have a good match 12 years ago......who thinks in 2017 it's going to be good? Lesnar is crazy now and Goldberg is old and looks like he cant keep his balance.

I'm not really a Goldberg fan but sadly Raw needs him and the ratings this week proved that and if he can give a lame Raw PPV more buyrates them go for it.

You forgot about Braun Strowman. He needs to stay out of this because it will hurt him. He just ended a program with Zayne. Not much was proven there. If this giant of a man goes into a main event program with 2 legends and arguably one of the top guys, he will be crushed down to a comdey jobber. No questions asked. Give him some eliminations in the rumble, Goldberg/Reigns can eliminate him, and let Zayne run out and beat on him to let him slip back into a retribution angle with Zayne.

Lesnar is crazy now and Goldberg is old and looks like he cant keep his balance. Pretty much. Survivor Series = 1 minute and change. Rumble = Coming in around 25-30, so 10 minutes of rest moves and blending in. Fastlane = Tag match...perhaps? Mania= Triple threat match to take the focus off of Goldberg.

Interesting to see where they go with him at Fastlane. It may kind of hinder the attraction of an actual Goldberg match that we're waiting to see at Wrestlemania, since Survivor Series & Rumble were/will be minimum giveaway and extremely limited and short wrestling. He'll probably either be 1 vs 1 against Rusev, or used in some form of Tag Match to help get Roman Reigns over complete with a double Spear from both at the same time. Goldberg & Roman Reigns vs JeriKO the most likely option.

He's money. He's over.
He'll prolly squash somebody.
The great former member Doobie and I had a conversation about it. It sheds good light on WCW. Plus it's cool to see.
I'd rather see Goldberg than 90% of the current roster.

Bo Dallas versus Goldberg is the best possible match for Fastlane.
