Goldberg on Taker/SCSA/Ryback

[Senhor Perfect]

Scott Fishman of The Miami Herald spoke with Bill Goldberg after the Miami Marlins' Pro Wrestling Night over the weekend. Here are some highlights:

Who he would want to face at WrestleMania:
"If the offer is to go to WrestleMania and to wrestle him and put him over, at the end of the day, me in the ring with Ryback wouldn’t be my ultimate opponent of my choosing. I’d like to wrestle Undertaker with the streak versus streak. You know I’ve never gotten in the ring with him. Let’s give the people something they’ve never seen before. I think after everybody sees what I did out there, I can still do everything I used to do, even at 46-years-old. I’d love to wrestle him. Obviously, [Steve] Austin is a dream match, but the reality is I just want to give the people what they want to see."

Words for Ryback:
“I don’t think it was his idea to change his gimmick up. He is just taking direction. It gets annoying. It surely got annoying when people called me Steve Austin, but at the end of the day, I took it as a compliment. If I was Ryback or whatever his name is, and I’m not going to be sitting here on my high-horse, but hey man, you have to look in the mirror and thank God that they are comparing him to me. I got more talent in one finger than that punk has in his entire body. I have at 46-years-old more presence than he could have in his entire life. The only reason I’m adamantly antagonized is because he has opened his mouth a couple of times as of late. I guess he was over in Europe and said he took a big Goldberg or something. Ask Triple H. I don’t like people talking about me when I’m not in the business. Ryback, if I see you around, you better hold on tight. That’s all I got to say. This ain’t the WWE. This is called life."

Work or real?

 

[Crayo]

If real, then what a teasy tits.

 

[Trip in the Head]

Either match would be good a WM IMO. Haven't seen Goldberg for a looooong time now.

 

[Farooq]

If real, then what a teasy tits.

Shhh Goldberg doesn't like it when you talk about him.

He might bitch some more to the local news press if you don't stop! *gulp*

 

[Lockard 23]

Don't know or care whether this is a work or shoot to plant the seeds for an eventual match with Ryback (I hope not) but Undertaker/Goldberg would have been a huge Mania match if 1998 Goldberg existed today instead and was as over with the streak now as he was then. It's a cool dream scenario to think about.

Fuck No

Surely a work. Goldberg vs Ryback at Mania, book it.

Goldberg can still hit his vast move set at 46? Must be on dat der cell tech.

 

[Wacokid27]

Trying to like Seabs' post, but it ain't working.

As for Goldberg returning to WWE, please God no.

He was tremendously over at one point, but he has no real love or respect for the business. I love how he thinks he knows what the people want to see and that he thinks the people want to see him end the streak. I also love how he can still do all four of his moves at 46. For Taker to put him over after the wars he's engaged in over the last few years against HBK, HHH, and Punk, it would be a slap in the face to those guys for Goldberg to go over Taker in a match that couldn't possibly last more than 8 or 9 minutes (which is about how long Goldberg could go in his prime).

I could see a one-off with him against Ryback at Wrestlemania, but I fear it would be a terrible match to watch (see: Goldberg vs. Lesnar...Wrestlemania XX, I believe, in which the only fun thing about it was Austin coming down to the ring and "Stunnering" everybody).
