How can one compare Goldberg to Brock Lesnar? I don't even begin to see the comparison. The only thing wrong with Brock in the ring is the fact that he doesn't sell very well. He'll get destroyed, suddenly he knees them in the stomach and throws them into the corner, something he often does. Or a full reversal and he's 100% again. His mic skills are a little lacking but his sheer size, speed, versatility, and wrestling aptitude makes him 100x Goldberg and one of the better wrestlers today.

are you joking? WWE is not wrestling. What Lesnar and Angle did before they sold out is called wrestling.

Let's not forget that infamous Shooting Star Press that Lesnar pulled at that PPV. Even though he didn't quite pull it off, and got his bell rung good because of it, it was still one of the coolest things I've seen. Just for a guy his size to even attempt something like that is super ballsy, and when I see it in slo-mo, with the flashbulbs going off all around, it gives me chills.

I wouldn't say funny, more so scarey. He came within less then an inch of killing himself there live infront of 58k.

He should try it again at WM XX. And I can't wait to see old school UT!

Wrestling used to be good a long time ago. This stuff today is crap!! Wrestling was pretty good in the 80's. WWF got alot of the great stars from Portland Wrestling, and now they are few and far between. Austin is the best wrestler to come around since then, but even he was on back in the day. Sure he doesn't have the moves, but neither does Hulk Hogan. Personality is the whole game, and alot of the guys are really lacking today. The writing is also total crap.. Vince has really fvcked wrestling up bad. My worst memory is Mae, and Sexual chocolate, and the hand being born.

I'm not a fan of Taker, but I'll admit I love it every time that gong hits. I get chills & goosebumps. :eek:

I can't wait to see Hulk Hogan take on the Ultimate Warrior. Or maybe a tag team against Rowdy Roddy Piper and the Iron Shiek. And toss in the Junk Yard Dog and Capt. Lou for the undercard.

I used to be a huge wrestling fan by my freshmen year of highschool (I'm a senior now) I outgrew it...

Old school UT was awesome...

why do these no talent jobbers get pushed to stardom like this? he's as bad as goldberg.

Guys that look like Goldberg or Lesnar aren't jobbers. Those guys are HUGE! It's expected that they'll be pushed to WWE fame.

Jobbers are jobbers. Now, jobbers with charisma/mike skills become the Flairs of the world.

Steven Richards is a jobber. The Blue Meanie was a jobber. The Boorklyn Brawler was a jobber. These are examples of guys who take the fall for others to go up, and never get past mid-card status. Lesnar and Goldberg, guys like them will always get the push.

Well, except for Nathan Lane. He was a huge guy size-wise, but he had no mic skills and his in-ring work was below standard.
