I know most people hate the guy & wished that he retired years ago but I’m still a huge fan & I most be one of the last remaining Goldberg fans in 2022 haha. I personally think it’s still a blessing to see the legend perform in this era and i wouldn’t mind if he continued wrestling for another 5-10 years on a part time basis.
I think his upcoming match with Reigns is WM worthy and deserves a longer build up but at least the match is finally happening. I honestly wouldn’t mind if he continued to challenge the current WWE or Universal Champs for as long as he possibly could lol.
So what’s your thoughts on Goldberg in current WWE?

If all his latest build wasn't to solely benefit one bloke, I wouldn't mind it nearly as much.

Wasn't a fan in WCW and he has only gotten worse since then for me

If he made these comebacks to squash midcarders, I wouldnt mind, but he should not be getting world title shots each time out.

Current Goldberg I wish would go away. I loved him in the WWE run as I didn't see much WCW before it died and I completely bought into him.
But I think all has been said when it comes to his latest runs. Money grab, ratings grab, utter crap.

He has served his purpose in pro wrestling. I’ve never been a fan but I understand why people would be. He’s unproblematic. He knows his character. The fans want to see him in short matches where he dominates. I just have no interest in seeing him in title matches at his age. Facing guys like Ziggler or Sami who will bump like crazy for him is perfect for him. It’s looking like Roman is ending his career though which I think works too.

Bill GoldBerg. He showed what a selfish piece of trash he is. When he buried Bray and didn’t object to it.

I have never liked Goldberg. He was dumb when he had his "streak" and he's dumb now.

Depends; I think I like the formula of destroy and thrash everything around him which WWE mastered at WM 33. However WWE abuses that style of the match; or some varations of it fall flat. WWE pulled that sh** with Lesnar every other damn PPV it felt like after WM 33. Then Goldberg comes back doing it too. He chokes up really bad in long matches. I think Goldberg can do longer matches against small guys. Say Goldberg feuds with 2016 era Heel Authority Rollins or Goldberg faces HBK in 2003 or Kurt Angle say 2004 time. I think those can be longer matches. Or see a match against 2006-2007 Undertaker in maybe like a Hell in a Cell.
Goldberg is great star when all the critera is crossed. I think his work against Braun at WM 36 was super flat. But I think that's a fair excuse. Covid 19; I hate even thinking about Early covid times in WWE. Yuck or any of 2020 in general.ugh. I think that thrash everything style can be done only so many times.
How many times do we do spear from the star; boom kick-out. get up opponenet snaps into reality and hits finisher but kicks out. opponent goes for it against; but goldberg dodges and hit's some power move followed by jack hammer- kick out. opponent staggers up and fights off goldberg and hits series of power moves then there finisher; goldberg kicks out. the two end up fighting on the out; fly into the steps and table. barricade spot. go into the ring- finisher fest; jack hammer win.
It's an interesting concept of match WWE has gotten into and it works great sometimes. Goldberg can't really do much different; but WWE should always attempt to make it different in some way or another.
Now with Goldberg and winning the title. He always seems to win it at such sh*ty inconvient time. To be honest; he's been a great draw. And putting the gold on him isn't bad honestly. Because it's always short time deal. But; both times have been damaging. Goldberg beats Kevin Owens in 6 seconds. 2017 is testament to how much steam WWE got in 2016; and WWE really lost a lot a lot of it in 2017. Where 2017 had no reason to be that bad. Owens and Jericho I think has good claim on being the title match. However; Goldbergs first return was over. And the Lesnar match was fantastic. And made me for the first time ever give a damn about Goldberg in WWE. And to be honest if that was Goldberg's last act; that would of been fine ending. And I think Goldberg intended on that to be the last go for a while.
The Fiend...Wow that was horrible. I think frown on this for variety of reason. Rollins booking against the Fiend; at Hell in a Cell 2019 was garbage. I honestly didn't think the Fiend needed the title that quick; and if they did just put the damn thing on him at HIC 2019. The Fiend should of been built and built to hunt the champion at WM 36 at retrospect. The Fiend finally got his steam going with some good matches against Bryan. I think most of us at the time thought Roman was being built or Cena return was the Fiend's direction. Well... The Fiend loses to Goldberg? WTF. Come on man. What kind of garbage is that. I think that was horrible choice. A character WWE nearly ruined redeems it to lose a title prematurely.
In it's defensive; I don't think WWE really had guided plan for the Fiend at Mania or any UV title match. But WWE's booking is so short term; Roman and Lesnar has been the only long term booking they've really done. Goldberg and Roman at WM 36; I think would of worked out. I think the crowd would of sh*t all over it.
Roman up and until August 2020 could not get over as babyface; and every Roman title reign was short. The first; MTIB cash in; Second to set up WM 32; Third cut short due to failed Drug test; fourth-cancer. This was meant to give Roman that long title run. I think Braun was the right hot shotted person to face Goldberg. The issue being; Braun at this time could not be redeemed.
I give Braun credit and was very happy he got the chance to run with the title. But it was to late; Braun should of had his momenet in 2020. So in all aspects; I think the Fiend should of just kept the title.
After that pretty much is the infinite title shot Goldberg. Which I don't care for some dude who comes in and just challenges the champion and loses. Like; feed him somebody inbetween??? The Lashley feud was actually really good. And I think the Reigns stuff is pretty good.
Theres a good story to it since it's the match we never got and it's great full circle story for both of them. I really don't want Goldberg going over in this one. I don't see any benefit; but I also don't want Lesnar and Roman unifying the titles either.

He's vastly more entertaining than just about everybody else on the roster.

In 2003 they made him do long matches & sell. While now he works as short a matches as possible.

I was a WCW guy back in 98 so Goldberg will always be part of my childhood. Hearing his theme song to this day still makes me feel like a kid again. His aura has certainly diminished since his 90 second match against Lesnar though. Bill GoldBerg. He showed what a selfish piece of trash he is. When he buried Bray and didn’t object to it. Yeah but Bray is boring though.

There's really no point to him being around any more the way that they use him. Is he really a credible threat anymore when he's won 1 of his last however many PPV/PLE matches? He keeps coming back to get title shots although he hasn't done anything to earn one. We all know he's just being used currently to make Reigns look stronger which in turn only makes Goldberg look weaker.
Ive said it before but the best way to use Goldberg these days is have him smash some heels that aren't main event untouchable but just mid level enough that they could recover from a Goldberg loss (Ziggler, Roode, Miz, Zayn, Owens, Corbin/Moss, etc...) and then when the time is right and you've built up those wins (dare I say streak...) you use him as a catalyst to put over someone like Breakker or Riddle which will make for a much bigger platform than beating the current Goldberg.
Problem is WWE spends stupid money on Goldberg to do the Reigns/Lashley/Lesnar/Mcintyre programs but the oxymoron is that it does nothing for WWE in the long run. Im sure Goldberg's ecstatic, he doesn't care as long as he keeps raking in those dolla dolla bills.

Current WWE: "Goldberg sucks."
IF he goes to AEW: "Goldberg is awesome!"

Not a fan.
Not just him though. Edge. Taker. Any 72 year old man that they bring in and have beat the guys that we're supposed to believe are badasses.
I'd believe spike dudley could go beat the shield 3 on 1 before I'd buy somebody great grandfather beating up roman reigns.
Sorry, but it is what it is. Get them old men the hell out of here.
