JR has admitted in his latest Ross report that he is interested in Goldberg joining the WWE, and he says that they will meet with Bill "when his schedule permits". and he apparently also did a radio interview and stated that he could be an "impact player".
Scott Steiner has undergone physical tests that the WWE asked him to do, to prove his fitness, they asked him to do this because of his injury history, and APPARENTLY if he passes then themayhem.com expects him to sign within the next month.

Yeah they already talked to Goldberg once ... but everything's still in ther very very beginning phase ...

And Scott ... he doesn't really need any more medical or physical tests ... damn look at that body


Let's hope Scott signs asap and that Goldberg signs whenever possible

Prince Of Pop

forget about Goldberg. The WWF would make a huge mistake signing that overrated piece of shit. He was 1 of many reasons why WCW failed. He's only got 2 moves, he's got an ego the size of Texas, and he's a backstage cancer. The WWF doesn't need him.


But they DO need Scott Steiner!

i disagree, i think Goldberg is 1 of the main reasons WCW lasted as long as they did, he may not be the most technically gifted wrestler to grace the ring, but he's a good solid high impact wrsetler, and his presence is enough to make a good fued work, IMO. i don't know anything about his ego or him as a 'backstage cancer' so that's not for me to comment.

Goldberg's feud with the nWo was for a big part the reason why at one time WCW's ratings were higher than WWE's

Kostaki

I happen to be the in-house expert on WCW here, and I can tell you why WCW in general lasted so long.

1. The Luchadors: These men are the purest of pure wrestlers, displaying 20-40 moves PER MATCH. These matches also lasted upwards of 5-15 minutes, and were DAMN GOOD MATCHES. Pre-Thug Rey Mysterio, Super Calo, Pre-Latino bullshit Eddy Guerrero, Chavo Guerrero Jr. (Pepe!!), Villano IV/V, La Parka, Billy Kidman (who is still the shit I might add), Kid Romeo, Masked Juventud Guerrera, Psychosis.. even the jobber wrestlers who were luchadors were the supreme shit.

2. The pop drawing (be it heat/pop) WRESTLERS. These men are Sting, 4 Horsemen (w/ Ric Flair as MANAGER, not WRESTLER), nWo Hollywood Hogan (watch his LONG title reign), Pre-"Hand" Booker T (Harlem Heat), Eric Bischoff (no man ever got pelted with more ring trash), Pre-WWE Outsiders, Pre-"Fake Smile" DDP, Rick AND Scott Steiner, Bret Hart (watch his feud with Sting or Owen Memorial match with Chris Benoit) and even Jeff Jarrett. These men knew how to hold onto a title and make a match interesting. Goldberg had 5 power moves, then a spear and jackhammer. The fact that they were keeping COUNT of the number of wins almost had you knowing that every Monday/Thursday when he had a match he would win. Only the PPV matches had the possibility of him losing. Others, well.. you know the drill.

3. Creative Matches: A Triple Stacked Cage match with the World Title at the top of the cage is one of the best they've ever rolled out. WWF Royal Rumble? Bullshit. When WCW put on a damn Royal Rumble, it was THREE to FOUR rings, with ALL men already out. None of this lethal lottery bullshit. Then we have Wargames, which puts Survivor Series to SHAME. They've had their fair share of stupid matches, but it's bullshit compared to the WWF's weekly lingerie matches. Sure, women are good to look at, but let the interference in normal matches be what we see (read: Torrie Wilson nearly flashing people during David Flair's U.S. Title Reign, and during other's matches for the hell of making them lose).

4. Sick bumps: I'm sorry, but Mike Awesome powerbombing Chris Kanyon off the top of the CAGE to the arena ramp way beats the Hell in the Cell Mankind fall.

5. Classic Moments: Booker T. vs. Chris Benoit series matchups, Bret Hart vs. Chris Benoit (Owen Memorial match), Rey Mysterio d. Kevin Nash (the look on Nash's face), Nash throwing Mysterio like a dart into a production truck, nWo rendition of the 4 Horsemen ("not the dog spot, but MY spot."), Bret Hart wearing a METAL VEST and giving Goldberg a shock when he tried to spear him, Luger beating out the entire nWo and racking Hogan to win the title in 1997, nWo "taking over" Nitro including the ENTIRE SET, etc etc. Nothing can take this crap away. These are moments I can never forget. The WWF never gave me these moments.

6. No assclown owners: At least the current exec team of WCW never came out and gloated when they were beating the WWF. WWF buys WCW, and out comes McMahon for 3/4ths of the show to gloat (most of which was a shoot, mind you). WCW had no shrieking owner's daughter making herself the highlight of the show half the time.. they tried to do it the right way, and they ended up failing.

To everyone that says good riddance to WCW, fuck you. Thanks

Goldberg was the attempt to regain the lead, not the reason of the gain. The reason of the gain was the original nWo's arrival, which brought people over. When Hogan turned, all eyes were on WCW. This was 1996 to early 1998. When they started to lose ratings, they relied on rookie Bill Goldberg to take the heat, and he did around late 1998 to mid 2000.. but then WWF had their "attitude" shit going, and it was really too late.

Stone Cold

Well, I sure as hell say good riddence to wcw. and those who think otherwise, good for you but Stone Cold has a message for you in his sig.

Kostaki

Only coming from someone who hasn't had a good match since his return from breaking his neck at Backlash 2000..

Best I can remember from him is when he used to stunner the hell out of anyone who came out from the back. Now he's just heel beatdown food, even though he lands stunners pre-finish. Oh.. and a match with Kane on RAW where he actually won the WWF title on RAW (this is where your unpredictable factor was, where is it now?) with a good ole stunner that led to a VERY loud crowd reaction..

Now I hear crickets..

NDD

Aaaahh shit! The anticipation is building!!! I wanna see Goldberg and Steiner in WWE as soon as possible.
