If the match was awful twelve years ago when Goldberg was closer to his prime then why do they think this time will be any different. I don't have anything against him making a one off appearance for WWE, but you don't waste a star like Brock on him.

Both guys were leaving then and didn't give a shit, I'm hoping now will be different.

Match is still gonna draw and that's all that really matters.

But what business will the match itself do? Do people really care that much about a Goldberg-Lesnar match in 2016? I'm not convinced. Think WWE maybe hopeing that enough people have forgotten about the 2004 mess.
Raw did the best ratings since Mania season with his return.

You honestly think people care about a good match? It's a big fight and they have a month to help promote the big match feel.

Even if Toronto shits all over Goldberg, it doesn't matter, the building will be sold out and the network will get increased subs over it.

Think with your promoters cap.

Well if I was thinking with my promoters hat on I would probably be thinking about long term not short term. I'm not surprised the ratings for Goldberg's return were so good, what I'm saying is that its a bigger test to make people care enough to buy the PPV.

No touching until the PPV, have footage of training...treat it like UFC 24/7 special and sprinkle it out throughout the month and let Heyman do all the production for it.

These two are not long term, it's an easy money grab to get you through the year and have a great number to for your quarterly report so your stocks can go up.

I agree with Deezy. Any time you have a part time star, long term isn't in the repertoire. Survivor series is the one of the big 4 and the Goldberg match is gonna boost the buys as well as the raw ratings so wwe can show a good report. In a company like this you need to have different things and sometimes bringing back a 12 years gone popular star for one match is the right move.

Even at Goldberg's age he's still intimidate to look at no doubt. I still think Lesnar has learned from his last fight and shall give Goldberg a beating he hasn't felt ever before.
