OMG. GOLDBERG showed up on RAW and whooped the Rock's Arse! It's been sooo long since we've seen Goldberg, but finally he's back. I heard Rock will be leaving soon to persue his acting career? Anyhow, I bet they'll hype up Goldberg vs Brock Lesnard. That would be something.

it'll happen eventually. the plan is to have Goldberg feud with The Rock at Backlash, and then move on to Triple H at Bad Blood.

Goldberg has gone on Record to say he will not job to Brock.

Goldberg has gone on Record to say he will not job to Brock.

That was true at one point but the stance on that has softened and the two will likely fight this year.

Goldberg was lame in WCW. A cheap knock-off of Austin's attitude. That being said, I'd hate to see him be forced to job to Brock Lesnar (an even more worthless attempt at making an "unbeatable" character)

I hate Goldberg. I wish the WWE didn't sign him, although I guess there is an appeal to him from fans. As a wrestler, I think he sucks and he's not all that. It's messed up that he said that he won't job to Lesnar and HHH.

That being said, I liked what they did today with Goldberg and the Rock. Goldberg came off pretty good today

of all the matches, I am looking forward to Berg versus Trips, each has said so much crap about each other, you know its going to be one hell of a brawl. Its too bad Booker T's push got siderailed as a result of it. He should of won the title last night as was earlier scripted when he won the battle royal.

when goldberg first came out the gimmick was 'cool' but then they just pushed it WAY too far. now he's just lame. too bad i couldn't have seen him say that to the rock, i would have laughed my ass off.

Yes but unlike Goldberg, Brock actually has wrestling skill and ability

The WWE has TOO many big names that is part of the problem. Everyone wants to be important. The WWE seems to think that the more big names they bring it the better they will do in the ratings. That is the opposite of what happens.

Just think, when they were competing with WCW they had higher ratings than they have now with no competition.

I also wish Booker T would have won. I have always enjoyed him. Another person that I would like to get an important role is Jericho. They always make him the chump. He is a good wrestler with a lot of talent. He also handles the mic well. Instead they push Scott Steiner who hasn't been able to wrestle well in years. The WWE made an ass of themselves hiring Steiner. I used to like Steiner but he is just an ego now and doesn't have the wrestling skills to warrant the ego....

The problem with the WWE right now is that it's too predictable. They need to get back to the days of DX coming out when you least expect it and doing something off the wall. I remember some nights when DX would come out and interfere in almost every match. Nothing done in wrestling now is suprising. Even when something new is done now it is often hinted at beforehand to where it's obvious what's gonna happen. (Example: The Goldberg promos and Bischoff waving a contact around) The last actually suprising thing they did where there was no advance notice was when Kevin Nash introduced the new member of the NWO and Shawn Micheals came out.

Until WWE stops being so predictable they can expect their ratings to keep falling.
