so basically they wont?

Hard to say. I have missed a dew years from the 1990s through to today but there are patterns in Wrestling i how they do pushes and things like monster heels and what gimmicks work (and are popular). For example you often have.

1. Mr America (Hogan/Cena)
2. Mr Monster Heel (Andre/Gonzalez/Khali/Brock)
3. Mr sneaky (mid sized heel with a mouth, that is The Miz right now, HBK at certain times)

And there is probably other archetypes. How effective they are depends on the performer.

Lesnars gimmick is going to get old fast. Its kind of boring watching him suplex city people and he lacks the charisma of other heels WWE has had over the years. Orton has been around since 2002 and in wrestling your shelf life is more or less 5-10 years with a few exceptions like HBK/Hogan/Flair.

They need someone new, Reigns did not work out so well and they have done things like have Foley hand over his bat to Dean Ambrose. The Lunatic Fringe is not really that different conceptually to Mankind lol.

Will WWE screw it up is the thing. Lesnar has beaten the old guard (Undertaker, Cena, Orton) and if they bring back Goldberg I expect him to beat Goldberg as well. The person who beats him in effect has indirectly beaten the AE/RA erastars and will get a major push by the company.

This is just IMHO but a heel turn by Reigns and a face turn by Stiles I expect in the near future (within a year). Reigns started to get cheered when he acted like a tweener with Rusev and Lana.

Anyway when Bock does get beaten it'll be by Goldberg

I doubt it. Their match was crap at WMXX and it will work better if he beats goldberg and someone else beats Brock after that. Its not like Goldberg will be the new face of the company either and that is what they want/need right now.

Cena is basically a part timer. And even the greats of the AE most of them their push only lasted 5-6 years before they retired or went and done something else. The AE stars are either retired or part timers or come back for special occasions.

Goldberg is still better known for his time in WCW, he is old and even in his prime he was not a good wrestler and was known for being unsafe to work around, hell he ended Bret Harts career with a botch. His time was in the Monday Night Wars and he worked because of the way he was packaged.

Again with these rumors...

Just to put this matter to rest for good, not only was Brock (obviously) scripted to win, but what we saw in it's entirety was the plan all along, executed to perfection, including the elbows, including the blood, including of course Shane taking an F5. It's just that WWE have ran out of any other creative ideas in order to write off Lesnar cause, remember, his next TV appearances are scheduled in early January, Royal Rumble season. Therefore, by doing what they did at Summerslam, they will most likely play the lame and overused suspension card excuse in order to justify his absence per storyline...

No, this was just a segment that was done really well and made people think that it could have been real. If Orton had been meant to win, the announcer would have announced that Lesnar had been disqualified. It would not be the first time that a wrestler had been DQ'ed by beating a wrestler down when the referee was trying to make them stop. In fact, if we remember correctly, this was exactly what happened a week or so ago when Orton beat down on Heath Slater and Slater was given the victory.


The very fact that the match was announced as a TKO victory for Lesnar, something that I hadn't heard in 30 years of watching professional wrestling, indicates that the TKO finish was the finish that was planned.

No. That'd be awful.

It would be awful but do you really put it past the WWE to do such a thing? If they think having Goldberg wrestle one last match would make them money and if they could entice him to come back to beat Brock Lesnar, the monster heel... I could see them doing it in an instant. It's not like they haven't made stupid mistakes like that before.

You think this entire match was a shoot? lol

This guy is meant to be a legend killer, he is meant to actually be basically indestructible but to see him in this state is not something to be happy about.
This "indestructible" man lost to fucking Daniel Bryan, don't see why him looking weak and losing to Lesnar is such a shocker.
