STW #95: Goldberg

Спорт

On this episode: WHO'S NEXT?! GOOOOOLDBERG! He was the hottest star for WCW during their hottest period but his first run in the WWE wasn't quite as stellar. Did JR try to bring him in before he signed with WCW? What did Vince think about him? What run-ins did he have with WWE superstars before coming in? Who helped bring him in? Who was against it? Why didn't he come in sooner? Was he supposed to be a part of WM19? Why did he debut in jeans and a jacket? What REALLY happened with the fight with Jericho? Goldberg in a Goldust wig, who booked this ish?! What was Vince trying to accomplish with Goldberg? What did Rock think of working with him? How did he get along with Hunter? What was the locker room reception to him? What was the hilarious "common theme" with seemingly all of Goldberg's storylines? When did the relationship start to change? Was their "strike one" and a "strike two" for Goldberg in the WWE? What was Goldberg's chief complaint? Why was his first loss on a house show? Was the Elimination Chamber match a back up plan? How was business with Goldberg as the top guy? What backstage incident cemented Goldberg's future with the company? Why book Goldberg vs. Lesnar at WM20? Why was Austin added? How was it decided who would win the match? What did Goldberg say after he left? Does Goldberg deserve the Hall of Fame honor?

From what I hear, Goldberg was more mature and approachable in the locker room. And the WWE realized they should really play to Goldberg's strengths: Keep the matches short and sweet.

    I think everyone base their opinions on the Lesnar match. I’ve rewatched a lot of those matches from 03-04 and they’re dope. Yes, it could’ve been better but he was still learning the WWE style. He got better at selling, doing promos and wrestling longer matches. He should’ve gone to Smackdown after Wrestlemania 20. Imagine feuds with Angle, Benoit, Eddie, Edge, Big Show (again) and a better match with The Undertaker. (Also no Triple H to deal with).

He was hot as hell going into Summerslam and the crowd was going crazy for him when he entered the chamber. He should have won the title then and there. The fans were never more behind him than they were during that elimination chamber.

    I know some people are going to see this as somewhat of a burial of Goldberg, but everything being told here sounds objective. I think, like Bruce said, both sides could have done things a lot better and differently. When you hear about all of the behind the scenes stuff, it all sounds like it was much worse than it actually appeared. As a big Goldberg mark from his WCW days, I was just glad to finally get to see him in WWE. I think sometimes too much is made of the whole Golddust wig thing. I thought it was a good way to make it seem like Goldberg didn’t take himself to seriously. There was quite a bit that wasn’t good, but there was also some stuff I enjoyed. I really liked the few times Goldberg got in the ring with Mark Henry. Henry was very believable as someone Goldberg would have to sell for, and I thought he did a pretty good job of it. It was kind of refreshing to see him in a match where he was outclassed strengthwise. I never thought the Brock match at WM20 was nearly as bad as everyone says. I thought he and Brock had some pretty cool spots, that showed just how evenly matched the two “big bulls” were. I think with both of them being as green as they were, they weren’t able to adapt and improvise when the crowd started shitting on them. And, like Bruce said, neither of them probably even cared at that point. Anyway, was glad WWE brought him back and got that nice little mini run out of him. 👍

    The only deeper burial of Goldberg would be if the Undertaker literally lowered his worthless carcass into the earth. I’m not sure anyone can say he deserves to be in the HOF after listening to this… He couldn’t wrestle. He couldn’t act. He couldn’t do promos. He couldn’t get along with his coworkers and he threw temper tantrums in the dressing room when he was expected to put other wrestlers over. This podcast confirmed what most wrestling fans already knew about Goldberg… he was nothing more than a cheap, Wish List Stone Cold knock off.

    Here's the thing, you have to understand the position that goldberg was put into. It wasn't his fault that he had the "IT FACTOR". he trained for a short period of time in the power plant to get the basics down and WCW needed new stars to compete with WWF that was making a comeback.they realized he resembled stone cold in his look and voice and threw him into the mix immediately. He was pushed to the moon faster than any other wrestler at the time when he wasn't ready yet. That isn't his fault AT ALL. was he supposed to say "NO I dont want all that money, fame, and championships. I want to be a midcarder for another 2 years first". Now I agree in that his attitude later on did not help him but that was also because people like Hogan, hall, nash all got into his ear and told him what to do and say and bill was gullible and vulnerable so he listened to them because why wouldn't he take the advice from the 3 biggest and highest paid stars in the entire organization? They also hooked him up with Hogans lawyer/attorney whonwas a mostly hated cut throat lawyer that would get his clients their money lol. But I truly believe it was 80% environment/surrounding people and 20% Bill himself that ended up hurting him and his career in the long run. Just my opinion, -Cheers!

    I’m not sure anyone can say he deserves to be in the HOF after listening to this… He couldn’t wrestle. He couldn’t act. He couldn’t do promos. He couldn’t get along with his coworkers and he threw temper tantrums in the dressing room when was expected to put out wrestlers over. This podcast confirmed what most wrestling fans already knew about Goldberg… he was nothing more than a cheap, Wish List Stone Cold knock off.

    BEST BRUCE MOMENT: Conrad steps up and proves he is a better host+interviewe than Howard Stern, in this exchange we are rewarded for being so patient and we get a purely exceptional glimpse into Bruce and Conrad- who they are- their personalities. Conrad - again- asks another brilliant question- if we were watching stern, it would take an exhaustingly painful 4 hours to get his best question- which would be equal to Conrad's 20th best question. It's like if Nascar came to NYC and we raced them 20 vs. 20. Nascar would finish 16th and 19th- NY wins 1-15,17,20. So Conrad asks about compensation and Bruce proves to possess a moral compass. It's near 2.35.00 when they kick around Goldberg's tenure with both shops. BRUCE- GIVE IN A LITTLE ON THE CONTRACTS- there is no good reason to not share this- people get paid $11 an hour- with a college degree- entertainment includes hearing about how much money these brainless idiots make. They should invite Scott Steiner to the late night how ( who carees whih one they all suck- maybe conan is ok still), yeah bring Steiner in...get him alll excited til he finds out we just want to hear him answer questions ans show us how stupid he is. TY bruce and conrad!

    Heres my take. Goldberg treated wrestling like a business (which it is). bill wasnt enamored with wrestling or a mark for the wwe like many wrestlers are. I belive vince knew that he couldnt control bill like he could others since bill wasnt full of "passion" for wrestling. Bill didnt take the b.s like some other guys would and left on his terms. It sucks that we didnt get to see bill more, but at the same time I cant fault him for leaving after having a wig put on him.

It’s also what legitimate fighting sports world champions do. I don’t see your point other than being a fucking Goldberg hater. What a douche

    This is amazing . Did you really just use the phrase “common literary plot” when talking about Bill Goldberg? For fuck’s sake. I am a Goldberg hater for multiple reasons. Number one, I’m not some simple minded idiot who thought he was cool because he was allowed to beat people in a few seconds simply to hide that he fucking sucked. Number two, he was a careless asshole who injured people and ended the career of, arguably, the best wrestler of all time. Number three, his idiotic fans, like you, that are too stupid to comprehend that he didn’t deserve what came to him and the business would have been better off without him. It’s not 1998, anymore. I’m sorry that you haven’t figured that out, yet. Goldberg sucks and always has.

    I love Bruce and Conrad. They are brilliant together. Even shows I wasnt especially looking forward to (Edge episode for example) were still really enjoyable. I am a little bit worried that the WWE endorsed second podcast will have a negative influence on the show. They, the WWE, may want to clean it up and make it as p.c. and squeaky clean as possible which, in turn, would almost certainly damage Bruce´s storytelling style and the chemistry between himself and Conrad. I hope Im wrong.

    Whats funny about the Austin rip off is Goldberg was shaving his head and had the goatee at the end of his football career 1994 95. Austin was in ecw sporting no facial hair and long blond locks at that time. The only thing goldberg ripped off was the trunks. Austin never wore mma gloves or elbow pads. There styles are completly different too so the rip off thing is amusing to me.
