5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Reason why CM Punk has backstage heat in AEW, WWE pushing 7-time World Champion to be the 'next Goldberg'

#1. Hope isn't true: Paul Heyman pushing for the "next Goldberg"

Goldberg

Paul Heyman wants a certain Superstar to be the next Goldberg, where he comes in - wreaks havoc and just leaves. However, it's not going to be any other Superstar. It's going to be his Superstar - his client, Brock Lesnar.

You read that right. Paul Heyman wants Brock Lesnar to transition into a Goldberg-kind of a role, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Heyman wants Goldberg as an occasional character who comes in and destroys people, as the old legend, somewhat reminiscent of the role Bruno Sammartino played when Bob Backlund was champion. Long-term the idea would be Goldberg in that role for several more years, and eventually that role would go to Lesnar.

We hope this isn't true because it doesn't make sense to push Lesnar like Goldberg. Lesnar and Goldberg have crossed paths before, but just because they're two extremely dominant Superstars, it doesn't mean that WWE has to push Lesnar in that role.

The two men are different in their own right and Lesnar should be treated for the special attraction that he is. He should be phased out at the right time and never return - maintaining that aura that he has.
