What if Dolph Ziggler beats Goldberg at WWE SummerSlam?

#4 Goldberg finishing up for real

If Goldberg put over Dolph Ziggler, it might be as sure of a sign as any that he's hanging up his boots for good

In booking Goldberg for SummerSlam, it would appear that WWE is trying to cash in on his drawing power while they still can, and we have to assume that he agreed, in part, to erase memories of his poor outing at Super ShowDown.

So it is that the conventional logic would see Goldberg storm the ring in Toronto, spear Dolph Ziggler once or twice, nail him with a Jackhammer, and collect the pin in under two minutes.

If Ziggler were to pick up the victory, though, it might suggest less about WWE reaffirming the legend of Goldberg than using it to put over someone else on his way out the door.

True, Goldberg’s two most recent matches saw him eating pins from Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker, but it’s difficult to argue that either of those losses really made a big difference for the career of the man beating him.

In putting over Ziggler, Goldberg could ride off into the sunset having honored the tradition of the business, furthering a younger talent before disappearing from the WWE landscape for good.
