Goldberg said:

I have talked to them a number of times throughout the past but this is where you're going to get the most blunt answer you're going to get from me: The product is too cheesy. It doesn't deserve to have...I mean, whatever.

If there was a comparable, viable option as a competitor that would allow me to still look myself in the mirror after I was a member of their roster, yeah, then it would be a consideration but not a chance.

He's right, they don't deserve to be saddled with an elderly Bill Goldberg.

At least AEW dodged one bullet.

[-] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 months ago

If AEW is too cheesy for him, then one wonders how he managed to have a wrestling career at all.

Still, I see this as an absolute win.

[-] fu@libranet.de 5 points 6 months ago

@ImADifferentBird particularly as he spent most of his career in late day wcw

(Also thank you for giving me the proper queue to link this as I've been sitting on that son of a bitch for 2-3 months for the occasion lmao)

How he managed to still have a career after throwing Jimmy fuckin Hart head first into the mat is beyond me.

[-] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago

Jimmy is unlucky that Haku got stunned by his own head-drop cause Bill might have been flat-out murdered before he got his hands on Jimmy otherwise lmao.

Yeah Goldberg is lucky to be alive after that match, but he's lucky to be alive after all of his matches lately.

TIL I have different tastes in wrestling than Goldberg. All wrestling is kinda cheesy to me, but I love some of that extra cheesy stuff. Undead Realm? Let me gobble that shit up.

[-] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 months ago

Fucking a. I love me some serious wrestling, I love me some comedy wrestling, but at the end of the day its a bunch of men and women who wanna beat the shit out of each other because they hate each other because of their job which they have chosen to have which allows them to beat the shit out of each other at preplanned times. The concept is goofy as a whole lol.

yeah but you risk dastardly scallywags doing illegal moves like this. :(

*watches Gacy do that face slide*

...this is the greatest thing I've ever watched.

[-] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

OK.

Anyway...

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 6 months ago

Lol Goldberg you have 3 moves that you can't do properly anymore without injuring yourself or your opponent, your matches barely last 3 minutes and that's because if you go longer you will hurt someone.

I'll take cheesy over boring and predictable old Bill.

[-] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 months ago
