Isn't losing your retirement match normal?
Yes that's why he lost to Seth.

Put me down for a bet on Undertaker to lose at WM being his last match

Will be interesting to see how goldberg gets received.
On the one hand, that was a really good promo he cut last night and he's a big guy coming back. On the other hand, Brock lives in Canada and Golberg used to feud with Bret.
Meltz mentioned Bill's wife is canadian, They should probably sell the fact in a promo, that may help.
Also I never did do my all time fave five:
1) Rude
2) HBK
3) Austin
4) Mach
5) Poppa

Correct. The logic is why would you retire if you're still winning?

Toronto crowds... well Canadian crowds in general but Toronto is a special brand of crazy, hate Goldberg for ending Bret Hart's career... the reaction to him at Survivor Series is going to be fascinating....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDOJdsABsVI
Not even peak WCW piped in crowds could hide the boos when Goldberg spears Bret here and that was before he ended Hart's career.
BTW since I noticed a TNA vs WCW fight earlier.... nothing TNA has ever done was as good as this promo spot...
He should have taken the money smh...

"wXw terminates agreement with Shane Strickland -
wXw World Tag Team Championship vacated
Essen, October 18, 2016
With great regret we have to inform our fans that the Championship Board of Directors has decided to strip the wXw World Tag Team Championship from Team JML (Shane Strickland & David Starr) effective immediately. There will be no future appearances by Mr Strickland in wXw. The relationship with David Starr is not affected by this.
The main event for wXw Broken Rules this Saturday in Batschkapp Frankfurt will still be a TLC match which will be contested for the now vacant wXw World Tag Team Championship."

I'd love back and forth, but the dude put a canadian sports hero on ice and he's going to be wrestling a guy who now lives in canada.

They only won it a couple weeks ago? Seems strange.
Maybe he's signed for NXT or some other company that makes German commitments impossible?
He's still young right?

orioto did you ever do your all time & current fave five?
You can just smell the money when people are asking questions like this.
Travel problems made him miss Sunday's Progress show in England but something as simple as a delayed flight out of Germany wouldn't get him fired. Something really bad must have happened with him and wXw.
it's difficult to do honestly.. Wrestling changed so much.. My history with wrestling is basically "91-92" then nothing until "2005-now" lol..
Let's say all time (or rather old times)
_Bret Hart
_Shawn Michaels
_Taker (For when i was a kid, and for when i saw him being awesome in ring, mid 2000)
_Kurt Angle
_Kennedy (i know it seems weird but he's almost retired and there was something really special with what that guy was bringing in the ring, that relates to my appreciation of wrestling i guess, storytelling etc.. And that first Smasckdown run is probably the best i've seen WWE booking a heel ever, honestly.. that momentum..)
Current:
_KO
_AJ Styles
_Lesnar
_Zayn
_Lashley

Again it is Toronto
X-8 wasn't a pop for both it was a flip the script reaction. Rock was treated like the heel by the crowd and Hogan the face.
With the Bret Hat history I am expecting something similar to that....

Except again the storyline had fuck all to do with WCW until late in the feud....
It was built around The Authority angle not WCW....

Good lists, though I admit all I think about when I think of Kennedy these days are the botches and the douchness (the latter would have been more bearable without the former).
Lashley's been great recently.
-tears quad
-tears other quad trying to no sell torn quad

I'd love if they did an angle where Lesnar insists he get billed as now residing in Saskatchewan just so that he comes out at Survivor Series literally representing Canada.
Toronto crowd would eat that shit up...
Fuck I wish I was going.

Do you want him to pull a sock out of his trunks too? haha

He could come out with the flag like the Hart Foundation used to lol

He does actually reside here now though, and he repped Canada at UFC 200...
The WWE won't do it because they don't want Goldberg getting booed out of the building more than he already might (and he might not it really depends on if the crowd remembers the Bret Hart stuff) but I do because I'm a troll for this kind of thing... lol.

Recall's New Japan Blog
Thought why not note down my thoughts on the random stuff I'm watching on NJPW World. Just watched Flair vs. Mutoh from 1995 and it was pretty great, very bloody too.

Not disagreeing with you. Just a certain someone has a gigantic ego and wasn't letting it go.
That was really jarring. Just have some tension building up in silence before Goldberg makes his entrance.

Ha ha Forbes wrote a piece on the whole Lesnar living in Canada and Goldberg's history of being booed in Canada thing...
Goldie even got booed in Vancouver against Evolution lol....
I can't wait to see the crowd reaction when he comes out, it's gonna be hot either way, either a huge nostalgia pop or they'll go full bizarro land again....
Ahh yes... as always wrestling is carny as fuck.

I really hope they don't boo the hell out of it. That was horrible at WM20....
It wasn't technically that bad of a match, average but not bad. The crowd reaction made it horrible.

They won't boo the match, unless it goes way too long (goldberg is limited in what he can do so anything over 15 minutes would be problematic), but there's a great chance they'll boo goldberg.
It won't be like 20 though, as Lesnar at least will be cheered unless the match becomes boring.

Canada will never let go the fact that Goldberg (with additional stupid shit WCW had Bret do afterwards) ended Bret's career.

See I disagree the match was borderline wrestlecrap, I mean shit there was like a 7 minute long stare down/tie up spot to open the match... 7 minutes of a 15 minute match was spent doing literally nothingm neither guy gave a fuck, the crowd for that match made it fun for me.

Lesnar will be over as fuck, that's almost a guarantee... Though you're right they might turn on it if it drags...
Crowd will be hot for the match at the start they just might treat Goldberg as the big heel.

They should have Goldberg kayfabe kill Reigns. Guaranteed to be over. Two birds, one stone.
Canada hated Goldberg way before that. As I linked to a few pages ago, http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2iyvem
Huge "Goldberg Sucks" chants at the height of his popularity in WCW. That's Toronto.

God, he should spear him THAT NIGHT, then they stretcher off reigns
Have reigns cut a promo and goldberg just comes out and spears him. They'd never do it as the one-off guy beating the golden boy makes no sense, but the pop would be immense
