WWE Looking to Work with Goldberg, WWE Site Notes

Posted by Marc Middleton on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

- WWE’s website had 12.3 million visitors for the month of January. This would be among the lowest months in years. WWE’s shop website averaged 581 orders per day in the same month.

- WWE showed a WrestleMania recall on RAW this week of Bill Goldberg pinning Brock Lesnar in 2004 as a way to plug Steve Austin’s guest host gig but the company has actually been talking about Goldberg and trying to get some kind of relationship going with him.

They realize he won’t come back and wrestle but they’re thinking of some kind of Legends deal to use his likeness in video games and such. Goldberg could also be possible for next year’s Hall of Fame in Atlanta since they’re running low on “main eventers” to induct.

    Goldberg barey even diserves to be thought of anymore in the world of wrestling,much less the hall of fame. He wasn’t even a real wrestler,just hype like Hogan.

    Well, Goldberg deserves to be inducted more than Ultimate Warrior does. But that’s not saying much.

    But to say that they’re running out of “main eventers”…so what? There are PLENTY of guys that deserve to be inducted into the HOF. Sting, DDP, Lex Luger, The LOD, Demolition, The British Bulldog (and Dynamite Kid), Jim Neidhart, Owen Hart, Bam Bam Bigelow, Yokozuna, Big Boss Man, Haku, Psycho Sid, The Killer Bees, The Rougeaus, Dean Malenko, Ravishing Rick Rude, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, a lot of other NWA and AWA wrestlers, etc. etc. etc.

    And there are even more wrestlers getting up there in age who likely won’t be wrestling much longer, who ALSO deserve to be inducted, like Vader, Booker T (and Stevie Ray), the Steiner Brothers, The Headshrinkers (Fatu/Rikishi and Samu), Al Snow, Shane Douglas, The Dudley Boys (whenever they finally quit TNA), The New Age Outlaws, Raven, Sabu, Ken Shamrock, Kane, The Undertaker (who is likely to retire sooner than later, HBK (ditto), hell, even THE ROCK.

    So it’s not like they don’t have a steady stream of guys that they couldn’t get. And for the love of Christ, PLEASE induct Macho Man Randy Savage!! While the man is still alive to accept his damn induction himself.

    Geez guys.. by reading these posts anybody who ever held a title of some sort should be in the hall of fame…

    Ken Shamrock? Raven? The Killer Bees? Johnny B. Badd? DDP?

    It’s Hall of Fame, not Hall of okay or above average.

    Goldberg going in before Sting, Hall or Nash? I’d induct all of them even while in TNA before I’d induct Goldberg. Nothing against the guy, but he never truly cared about the business the way those guys did. There’s a reason they’re still doing it and it’s not for the paycheck (well, for Hall, maybe, but he does truly understand and enjoy the business). Honestly, I think Goldberg hates being known as “that wrestler guy”.

    I think there are A LOT more main eventers before Goldberg. No disrespect to the dude, but I don’t think so yet. But then again WWE doesn’t listen to the fans.

    Beniot should never be put into the hall of fame but his wife Nancy should be she was involved in wrestling since the early 80′s as the Fallen Angel and then as Woman in the late 80′s and 90′s!!!

    Beniot should be never consider into the Hall of Fame after what he did to his son and wife. Never reconized a child killer. If WWE next year does a WCW HOF I would like to see people like Lex Lugar or DDP, or even Book if he does argee to come back. Goldberg I wouldnt mind in because he was a World champion in both WCW and WWE. But also agree Goldberg was a hype wrester. But WWE neeed to put more wrestler than anybody is Owen Hart. It been long too much to put him in.

    Goldberg sucks azz…. he should not be inducted, i dont think he did anything significant in wrestling, other than da streak, but that is decided by the ones that run the show…. overrated, he dont deserve it…. how about Rotunda, or Martel…. idont know, there r many legends, but not Goldberg thats 4 sure.

    Goldberg and Warrior were for a time huge stars who made history. Yes there careers were short lived and not without controversy but for as long as they were on tv both were at the top of the card.

    The standard for the Hall of Fame right now seems to be that you are fondly remembered. Take Ko Ko B. Ware. Great worker and very entertaining but never a main event star and generally a contract jobber.

    Or Tony Atlas who did make history winning the tag belts with Rocky Johnson but pretty much pissed away the rest of his career. If willing Warrior and Goldberg should definitely go in.

    I have a few names for the list, how about Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson and James J. Dillion of the original Four Horsemen, Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express,

    Hell, Vince could even put Mr. T into the Hall of Fame because he main-evented Wrestlemania one w/Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Paul Orton and Bob Orton. And Mr. T had a classic match @ Wrestlemania II against Roddy Piper in that famous Boxer v.s. Wrestler Match.
