#3 Not giving the rub to the next generation
As though it isn’t bad enough that Goldberg’s match at WrestleMania has likely snatched away a main event spot from other deserving Superstars, the story arc that has seen him land there has been nothing short of preposterous.
Usually, a wrestler that still retains the magnetism of their prime even as they get on in years, ends up giving the rub to the next generation in the WWE; it happened when Ric Flair allowed Shawn Michaels to superkick him to oblivion, and even when the Hulkster stared at the lights for The Rock.
And when the time comes, I’ve no doubt that The Rock would do the same for a star of the future, or Triple H for that matter too.
Even Brock Lesnar, who’s as close to a timeless fighting machine as you’re ever likely to set eyes upon, is being primed for the eventual ‘pay-off’ loss to Roman Reigns, knowing Vince McMahon.
But what has been the purpose of Goldberg’s return? To amplify Brock Lesnar’s aura? Having already been the one in ‘21-1’, I’m not quite sure why it even required a further leg-up in the first place.
The fact that Goldberg can still do justice to the invulnerable ass-kicker persona that he rocked back in the day only underscores the gravity of the opportunity that the WWE has let slip by (likely) having him fall prey to the beast at WrestleMania 33.
Which brings me to my next point...
