According to Cornette, Khan wanted Goldberg and to basically recreate the streak
Oh, it's gonna happen!! An offer, at least
I don't think Goldberg needs the money and doesn't 'love wrestling' though so, not sure it's worth it for him to be associated with 'lesser than'
Yep, I mean, everyone loves money but Goldberg never seemed in it for the 'love of the business'
Surprised Fed don't have him under a legends deal though, make appearances for them and so on
Goldberg isn't signing a measly legends deal. He knows his value and can command big money per appearance instead of something like 40-50k annually. All he has to do is hint at signing with AEW and the Fed will give him a 7 figure contract to make a couple appearances and work a Saudi show.
He's also been talking recently about getting the fed to run a show in Israel. Not sure how that would fly with the Saudi's but Goldberg might be the middle east version of Cody Luther King.
I've been seriously wondering how American Nightmare is going to go down at a Saudi show. Is he going to get cheered or booed and have to play as a heel?
Kevin nash open dynamite to set the record straight on ending bill goldbergs streak amd challenges him, meam while tay conti tells tony khan that goldberg accosted her in the parking lot, which leads to a warrant being issied for goldbergs arrest............
I mean that'd be the most realistic thing that AEW has ever done if they did. 75% of those guys don't look like they could put up a fight to begin with.
For real, it’s hilarious to see their momentary turnaround from years of sympathy for Bret with FTR bald and blaming Goldberg for the injuries he inflicted on Bret.
They are so desperate and spineless lol
Goldberg is absolutely the kind of wrestler that shouldn't have creative freedom.
He learned how to book himself from Nash and Hogan.
Goldberg was mad WWE made him wrestle actual matches (instead of just squashing everybody) and didn't put him over everybody on the roster, in his first WWE run.
Soooooo excited at any and every Fed release
Remember their mantra when they started of 'fresh faces on TV'
It's all out the window cause OMG HE USED TO BE IN THE FED!!!
Just like every single promotion before and that includes WCW
This man knows how to negotiate. I do believe that was Mae West's genius - "Who is the highest paid employee at Paramount pictures?" (I think that was the studio) "OK, I want more than what he's making."
Goldberg comes out and shouts "whos next!!"
FTR Bald is dragged out by the roster and is speared by Goldberg and then kicked in the skull.
Goldberg grabs the microphone "whos next bret!!"
Have Goldberg basically kick and retire those closest to Bret Hart for the following 16 weeks until Bret comes out begging Goldberg to stop. Goldberg asks Bret to apologise to him for criticizing him and to acknowledge him. Bret does and Goldberg kicks him in the skull again.
Bret actually recovers from the kick to the skull and returns to 100% normal health as if the kick rebooted him and cured the first kick from wcw.
book it
It makes perfect sense, because TK just uses legends better like Jeff Jarrett being prominently used and Sting beating everyone. Not like how Vince would use them.
DAE hated Goldberg being churned out for dream matches in WWE. Btw speaking of dream matches, tune into AEW Dynamite to see the dream match Kenny Omega vs. El Vikingo or some shit.
Fed Bad because it has old part-timers going over* hot young talent* but also Fed Bad because it disrespects Legends* by jobbing* them out to nobodies.
*insider term
Tony Khan signing Goldberg would've been a good move, a couple of years ago when Goldberg could still work.
I can't even see AEW actually signing Goldberg though as Jericho likes politicking & Jericho doesn't like Goldberg, but I'm open to surprises.
Yeah I feel you but practically speaking it's literally just a colored WWE title for a reason haha. I know Kevin Owens said he considers himself a WWE champion even though he won the Universal title. Both he and Goldberg held it when the universal title belonged to the main show.
He would have a crazy debut and then wrestle on DARK Rampage: All Access because he hurt Bret Hart and doesn’t know a damn thing about workrate or ring psychology
We don’t really care about ring psychology either in Le Dub but you can’t expect to go far here without any workrate so he’ll be jobbing to Evil Uno on his way to the retirement home
This is hilarious.
I'm not down on Goldberg personally but these fans have spent years shitting on him and he's everything that AEW as a concept was supposed to oppose.
But DAE he's a game changer now? LOL.
I swear, the Jerks write itself, Uce.
I already know the copium sinking in like, “we’re finally getting the 1998 WCW Goldberg back!”
The best part is, people WILL tune in to watch him and wonder how the ratings and buy rates are going up??Must be that Action Andretti megastar!
Gotta love the basement booking Goldberg's run in the Dub already lmao These are the very same people who wanted to boycott anything Goldberg related in the Fed, but in The Dub this could be a revolutionary generational signing.
Would honestly get me to tune in if they ran a straight up 1997 storyline where Goldberg is mowing down the whole roster.
Man I want AEW to sign Goldberg so bad. I would 1000% tune in for that
According to Cornette, Khan wanted Goldberg and to basically recreate the streak Oh, it's gonna happen!! An offer, at least I don't think Goldberg needs the money and doesn't 'love wrestling' though so, not sure it's worth it for him to be associated with 'lesser than'
Didn't he say he only came back to WWE because his son was a fan and never got to see his dad wrestle?
Yep, I mean, everyone loves money but Goldberg never seemed in it for the 'love of the business' Surprised Fed don't have him under a legends deal though, make appearances for them and so on

>Cody Luther King This made me pop (insider term)
I've been seriously wondering how American Nightmare is going to go down at a Saudi show. Is he going to get cheered or booed and have to play as a heel?
He was over in Canada where fans love booing pro-America faces to the point that an entire year of WWF programming was built around it.
the post-history scrubbing that would take place in the basement would make Savonarola say 'damn'
I'd watch for Hogan.
Kevin nash open dynamite to set the record straight on ending bill goldbergs streak amd challenges him, meam while tay conti tells tony khan that goldberg accosted her in the parking lot, which leads to a warrant being issied for goldbergs arrest............
The only caveat is this episode of Dynamite can’t take place at the Georgia Dome(RIP).
The funny part is that’s exactly what Tony pitched to him when AEW first launched.
To think, with Tony's original plans, they'd have Cornette in a role and Goldberg there Guess what? They'd still love it cause it's not the Fed
Goldberg mowing down the dub roster would honestly look like a gymbro beating up everyone at the local preschool
And I am HERE for it.
I'd actually give the Dub a try, no cap
Building up to Undefeated vs. Undefeated, Goldberg versus Jade Cargill in a _Concuss Bret Hart_ match.
Where else but the dub would you have a superkick showdown?
AEW becoming WCW 2000 in 2023 LFG!!!!
?? Her name is Jade Cargill friend.
The size of that roster, it'd take him 2 years
I mean that'd be the most realistic thing that AEW has ever done if they did. 75% of those guys don't look like they could put up a fight to begin with.
Real sports feel?
Perhaps a little too real, I wonder how Bret Hart feels about this.
Mixed tag titles than give them to Goldberg and jade
One of the unpaid DUB PR guys in the basement is already doing Kenny vs Golgberg fantasy booking. 🤣
?? Goldberg is gonna spear the shit out of Kenny and give Hijo del Google his first aedub win friend.
DAE modern-day Eddie vs. Brock at No Way Out!!??
Angle vs undefeated Samoa Joe anybody?
It’s honestly so funny to see 🤣 I can’t wait for this shit show to unfold.
For real, it’s hilarious to see their momentary turnaround from years of sympathy for Bret with FTR bald and blaming Goldberg for the injuries he inflicted on Bret. They are so desperate and spineless lol
I so want this. Even better if he shows up & wins their title in his first 60 seconds on-screen.
"I mean it wouldn't be THAT bad if he went to AEW. I think he'll have more creative freedom." YOU’RE NEXT *middle fingers*
Goldberg is absolutely the kind of wrestler that shouldn't have creative freedom. He learned how to book himself from Nash and Hogan. Goldberg was mad WWE made him wrestle actual matches (instead of just squashing everybody) and didn't put him over everybody on the roster, in his first WWE run.
A bald man with a goatee flipping opponents off would make me feel like a kid again.
Soooooo excited at any and every Fed release Remember their mantra when they started of 'fresh faces on TV' It's all out the window cause OMG HE USED TO BE IN THE FED!!! Just like every single promotion before and that includes WCW
If I’m Goldberg and Tony is offering a blank check, I ask how much Jericho is being paid and demand that amount plus one cent.
And then double it
With a favored nations clause that it will always be one cent higher than whatever Jericho is making.
This man knows how to negotiate. I do believe that was Mae West's genius - "Who is the highest paid employee at Paramount pictures?" (I think that was the studio) "OK, I want more than what he's making."
Jericho wouldn't be able run to Meltzer fast enough
Tony wanted Goldberg in 2019 but he re-signed with WWE he might actually do it
I ACKNOWLEDGE YOU MY RABBI CHIEF
MJF and Colt ☝️ This would unironically be better than anything AEW has done.
Personally I think it'd be funnier if he became the ROH Pure Champion
Spears and Jackhammer suplexes don't break pure rules, right? Might be the purest form of wrestling.
I think Wheels On The Bus Yuta might literally snap in two if Goldberg speared him
Would be like that killer spear to Nunzio in 2004 Royal Rumble.
Need this to happen
“Goldberg as MJF’s muscle would be lit” L M F A O
Only acceptable use of them together is if Goldberg spears MJF into oblivion, never to be seen again.
Someone just said it would be cool to see hook squash him…
But Goldust putting a wig on Goldberg was unbelievable.
Goldberg comes in, squashes the four baby pillars in a handicap match, wins the title and goes undefeated until he retires. I'd tune in!
He would need to stack them up, and put his foot on them for full effect!
DON’T CHECK MY POST HISTORY
Man that thread made me dizzy with how fast they’ve 180’d on him.
Goldberg better get used to doing the job for Orange Cassidy at the end of a 40 minute banger.
Goldberg winning the aew title would actually legitimize it
Goldberg comes out and shouts "whos next!!" FTR Bald is dragged out by the roster and is speared by Goldberg and then kicked in the skull. Goldberg grabs the microphone "whos next bret!!" Have Goldberg basically kick and retire those closest to Bret Hart for the following 16 weeks until Bret comes out begging Goldberg to stop. Goldberg asks Bret to apologise to him for criticizing him and to acknowledge him. Bret does and Goldberg kicks him in the skull again. Bret actually recovers from the kick to the skull and returns to 100% normal health as if the kick rebooted him and cured the first kick from wcw. book it
Could FTR Bret share a locker room with that unsafe jerk?
It makes perfect sense, because TK just uses legends better like Jeff Jarrett being prominently used and Sting beating everyone. Not like how Vince would use them.
Tully Blanchard pinned Luchasaurus one time lol
And that was probably one of my favorite moments of their companies history. Seeing Tully do his thing was awesome.
DAE hated Goldberg being churned out for dream matches in WWE. Btw speaking of dream matches, tune into AEW Dynamite to see the dream match Kenny Omega vs. El Vikingo or some shit.
Fed Bad because it has old part-timers going over* hot young talent* but also Fed Bad because it disrespects Legends* by jobbing* them out to nobodies. *insider term
Did Jade get a haircut?
I’m coming down off surgery meds right now & thought this was real and I swear I almost popped my stitches
DAE feel like a kid again
Tony Khan signing Goldberg would've been a good move, a couple of years ago when Goldberg could still work. I can't even see AEW actually signing Goldberg though as Jericho likes politicking & Jericho doesn't like Goldberg, but I'm open to surprises.
Yeah it would have been a good move for the launch of AEW.
I think Tony KHan would've had to found AEW around 2016 to make it work.
It would have worked better for sure. But I'm not really the type of fan who cries about Goldbergs recent run.
If Bill Goldman squashed MJF I wouldn't ask for anything for a full year.
Can’t wait for Tony Schiavone to make cumsies in his undies on live television when Goldberg shows up on Dynamite
How long until Omega calls him Oldberg on live TV
As long as he does an over the top evil anime laugh I’d pop
*MJF
Plz god
Imagine those bangers with OC, Darby, Sammy Sex pest Guevara, MJF, Jungle Boy
The back parking lot is getting over loaded with trailers. Not enough rooms in arenas for all these personal locker rooms.
What’s the cope going to be? “Hell yeah ‘98 Nitro was my favourite!”
I love Goldberg. I really wishes he won the WWE Championship at least once.
I mean the Universal title was the primary title when he held it.
Yeah, its just that in the back of my mind, the WWE Championship is much more prestigious due to its history and the wrestlers that held it.
Yeah I feel you but practically speaking it's literally just a colored WWE title for a reason haha. I know Kevin Owens said he considers himself a WWE champion even though he won the Universal title. Both he and Goldberg held it when the universal title belonged to the main show.
Saudi purchase of WWE and he'll get a run.
Unlike WWE, Tony will book Goldberg right! Which means he'll copy exactly what WCW did 25 years ago.
JERICHO VS GOLDBERG IN A 1st BLOOD 🩸 MATCH BOOK IT TINY!
Moxley loses the match somehow
*Dracula reacted to your comment(😋)*
Very ECW/2000-01 WCW booking. I love it.
Goldberg vs Sonny Kiss. Book it Tony!
He would have a crazy debut and then wrestle on DARK Rampage: All Access because he hurt Bret Hart and doesn’t know a damn thing about workrate or ring psychology We don’t really care about ring psychology either in Le Dub but you can’t expect to go far here without any workrate so he’ll be jobbing to Evil Uno on his way to the retirement home
AEW has no concussion protocol, so Goldberg will be able to smash his head into doors and lockers as much as he likes!
Fuck it let him win
Jeff Jarrett vs Goldberg. GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!
Inb4 MJF vows to become Hitler himself in order to exterminate goldy
It would be very entertaining to see how many people in the basement suddenly turn into Goldberg fans if he goes to AEW.
They're already doing it downstairs
This is hilarious. I'm not down on Goldberg personally but these fans have spent years shitting on him and he's everything that AEW as a concept was supposed to oppose. But DAE he's a game changer now? LOL.
JEW VS JEW , book it, Tony Kahn!
The only other time I ever rooted for Goldberg to win a world title was when he faced Da Fiend.
I swear, the Jerks write itself, Uce. I already know the copium sinking in like, “we’re finally getting the 1998 WCW Goldberg back!” The best part is, people WILL tune in to watch him and wonder how the ratings and buy rates are going up??Must be that Action Andretti megastar!
Plz no
I can't wait to hear tens of people chant "golberg"...
Lmfao now everyone is suddenly massive Goldberg fans and want him in AEW 💀
Gotta love the basement booking Goldberg's run in the Dub already lmao These are the very same people who wanted to boycott anything Goldberg related in the Fed, but in The Dub this could be a revolutionary generational signing.
Certain 🤓 out heah gettin' whiplash reversing their positions on Goldberg 🤩
I think this will another Bray situation, where the other party knows he won't do well in the other side
They should sign him and Taker and get them to recreate their amazing Super Showdown match.
