Roman got pulled off the current tour and won't be appearing at any more dates. Not injury related. Uh oh.

 

its family issues

 

Well that is less exciting.

 

I dont have high hopes for Goldberg/Lesnar, when it comes to Lesnar I have been a bit burned out on him but i can't lie... I'm living for him vs. KO or Joe at Mania at this point.

 

Sounds like WWE is worried that the crowd is going hijack that match

 

I don't usually fall in line with Vince nowadays but I would be too on this one. Brock's matches are starting to get pretty boring since it's always the same, Goldberg has looked rusty and admitted as much, there's a lot of room for some boobirds and fans entertaining themselves since the show ain't doing it lol.

Also heard Vince been wanting to sign Goldberg to a longer deal, guess least till Mania and Goldberg has been kinda waiting till Survivor Series to see how it goes? Sure that makes booking frustrating but you know Brock is winning, just a matter of how. I'd be surprised if after all this credit Brock has built up last few years, they'd let Goldberg be the guy to cash in on that rub with a W over him. Gotta be a Joe, KO, Shinsuke, or etc haha.

 

Especially since its gonna headline a show where all of their actual stars are in a match together...its gonna get some awful crowd reactions if it doesnt start hot.

 

I'm going to go with 0% chance Goldberg/Lesnar is anywhere close to good and the crowd is going to be all over it.

 

I wonder if WWE knew how rusty Goldberg really is going in.
Lesnar chooses to wrestle how he does, sure he's not gonna be out here throwing shooting stars looking like he does now, but I do think Brock could "still go" if he really wanted to throw a fire match out there. Problem is he doesn't have to, so he doesn't..

Not much reason to have high hopes at this point.

 

Scurll and Ospreay signed exclusive deals with ROH. there are your Cole/KOR replacements.

 

you guys are nuts if you think the crowd is going to turn on goldberg/lesnar. Have you guys not been hearing the reactions each of them have been getting on raw? unless it's actually the drizzling shits, and considering the match will probably be a swift 10-15 minute match at best, the crowd will be all over it.

 

Berg was gassed after 30 seconds of action. He could barely lift Rusev. If that is any indication, we're in for... something...

 

I just hope someone brings a beach ball.

 

but you know, sometimes when you have two big stars like this, an old school WCW match might suffice. I know the days of 80s wrestling/wcw wrestling are over, and you can't really put those matches on anymore, but i think a throwback style once in a while might be refreshing.

i'm telling you right now...the crowd wont turn on that match. If that's on the ap card, i'm all in on they wont.

 

Veda Scott done with ROH.

Hopefully she got picked up by WWE, because she is fantastic. Great wrestler and a great manager.

 

love love love her. That would be my favorite signing ever.

 

Probably also helps her case that she is best friends with Ember Moon.

 

haha, so this is the 3rd or 4th time Ive gone to look up a female wrestler, and the first clip I find of them is Cedric Alexander hitting them with the lumbar check. Though the Veda Scott one is not as good as Candice LeRae

 

Didn't Goldberg injure Bret Hart during a match in WCW and end his career early? I could totally see Goldberg getting booed by a Canadian crowd.

 

Match is gonna be diarrhea

 

ha, even JR is trying to fantasy book that match into something useful. He imagines them beating the hell out of each other for a while, then a hooded figure runs in and destroys them both. Then reveals himself as Samoa Joe

 

The first match, when they were both decent in the ring was trash. There's no way they do better now with one not having a match in years and the other phoning it in

 

never forget

 

I mean, the first "match" was all posturing. Two dudes who were on their way out the door, looking to not get injured heading into future prospects, getting eaten alive by the crowd and overshadowed by Stone Cold. For all of the very real criticisms regarding Goldbergs ability to perform in this day and age, I think he gives a damn and will bring enough presence to compensate for some of his shortcomings so long as they book this as the "clash of the titans" it should be.

However, Brock is stale as fuck. I genuinely think, say, Goldberg/Cena could be a worthwhile ten minutes. Lesnar, I'm not so sure.
