Thought he was as indifferent as I was lol

He said he’d preferred he stay retired. That’s not really indifferent. He had a preference to not see him.

I mean even indifference feels weird. Everyone has an opinion on Cena coming back or Edge, but I don’t know if you qualify as being indifferent indifferent when you said you’d pop if he did come back. So it’s more if pop if he did, but wouldn’t care if he didn’t. Idk.

But the fact we’re having this convo feels so weird.

But anyways, everyone is entitled to feel whatever.

So I’ll leave and be back if he comes back. We’ve heard Punk return rumors consistently since AEW debuted.

I pop for Goldberg. I’m probably in between not wanting to see him wrestle and wanting to see him wrestle.

I’ve never cared if the matches were super good. As long as I was invested in the character and story.

And Goldberg is a larger than life character. The only issue is I actually did like like his matches between late 1998 and 2003. He did get better imo. But I don’t really care for 5 minute squashes for the title.

That one match with Brock was well done, but I don’t want to see that with Roman. Give me a solid match.

Well, I said what I said. :lol I didn't seek out this thread for the sake of shitting on Punk. I clicked on it because it was in front of me and I gave my take. All the more power to those of you who are excited and for y'all's sake, I hope you get what you want because I'm not gonna be too pressed either way.:lol

You know, as much as I dislike the berg, if he came in and had competitive matches id probably be chill with it

I know I personally would love a Punk return. But I am not about to let myself get worked up into thinking it’s going to happen.

Exactly. I can name a handful of good Goldberg matches in late WCW and his first WWE run that went 10-20 minutes. He was capable of competitive matches. If he can give me that with Roman, I’m down.

He physically can't

Then he should stay away. I like a good pop, but if he can’t do matches longer than 3 minutes, he shouldn’t be doing title matches in the main event.

I say this as someone that doesn’t care about work rate. I personally love Nash matches when the story told in the ring is a good one and he cares.

But we’ve seen any good story he can tell in 3 minutes.

Yeah like had he not beaten Owens in like 5 minutes Id probably a lot more forgiving of them parading him out there. Then you add the taker stuff and imo hes just too dangerous and shouldnt be wrestling. but thats an entirely different debate
