Goldberg and The Undertaker closed out the SmackDown Live right before Super ShowDown in a segment that sent shivers down every spine.

Even though people knew that the match that we were going to be treated with at WWE Super ShowDown would not be a technical masterclass, fans were still very excited.

And then the match actually happened and every ounce of excitement that fans may have had would dissipate at once. It was one of the worst matches in WWE history featuring two WWE Superstars well past their prime.

Because Goldberg is a big name draw and the Saudi Arabian audience likes to see legends compete, it is all too likely that we will see Goldberg in the ring again. But when he steps into the ring once more, Vince McMahon must take the following measures to ensure that the match isn't a bust.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Here are 3 things that he has to do!


#3 Make sure that the match is short and sweet

Ad

Honestly, Goldberg's rise to fame came at a time when he wasn't even ready to compete in the ring. His matches were short and sweet to conceal the fact that he did not really know how to work a match properly.

Even though Goldberg vs. The Undertaker wasn't really a long match by WWE standards, it was still way too long for a Goldberg match.

The one match that nobody complains about is his first clash with Brock Lesnar which went on for exactly as long as it should have and not a moment more.

Even if Goldberg is booked to lose a match, he should only wrestle short and sweet matches without any dangerous spots. If Vince McMahon ensures this, Goldberg could be a big money player for some time.

#2 Keep him out of the title picture

This is an absolute necessity. Goldberg should only wrestle meaningless matches even if they're in the main event spot. He should be kept away from the title picture altogether.

There shouldn't even be the threat of Goldberg defeating Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship or pinning Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship. Both of these men are fantastic representatives for the company and it will be a slap in the face of all the full-timers in the roster if Goldberg cut in line before them for a shot at either title.

Moreover, the WWE Universe can see through this booking and while this may not be the case for the live crowd in Saudi Arabia, there will be an outcry on social media if Goldberg were inserted into the title picture again. Goldberg defeating Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship wasn't a popular decision!

#1 Ensure that he takes on someone younger than The Undertaker

The Undertaker and Goldberg have had careers in the wrestling business that others can only dream of and hence, I mean no disrespect to them. But whether you're a musician or an actor or even someone who's a 9-5 employee, there comes a point when you must hang up your boots because you cannot perform at the same level that you used to.

I daresay that if Goldberg were to wrestle a short match against someone younger, the match wouldn't have been such a massive disappointment. Even if it were to be a squash match, a younger performer could carry Goldberg through it.

Of course, chances are that the match would end with a spear and a jackhammer. But I'm guessing that there are a bunch of WWE Superstars sitting on the sidelines that wouldn't even mind such an opportunity with Goldberg, as opposed to just staying off television altogether.
