why was goldberg so popular? was he just at the right place at the right time with his super serious powerman gimmick when prowrestling was at it's zenith? hogan putting him over have anything to do with it?

what makes him different from a more entertaining brock lesnar?

The right look and the right push. I don't know that he was more entertaining than Brock, though. Best Goldberg moment is Regal not selling for him in that one match imo.

goldberg and lesnar essentially have the same gimmick but I feel like at least lesnar is/was much better in the ring and better booked as well. he hasn't really put on anything that great in the ring in a long time (except the cena squash which was more amusing than great wrestling) now that I think about it.

when he was full time at least he was putting over guys and being booked on the same level as other people. who knows if he would of gotten cena treatment if he stayed with wwe after WM20.

did regal no sell goldberg's finisher?

I just got off the phone with Daniel Bryan. He says the Yes Movement is still strong, even when his arm isn't. He'll be back, and he'll be better than ever! You can Bo-lieve that!

In all seriousness: This whole situation with him sucks hard. I know someone asked him not too long ago in an interview if he'd considered retirement and he said it hadn't even crossed his mind because it's not happening. Nerve issues are complicated and this seems like it's gone on so long for him. I hope he can recover and come back just fine.

Wwe would have worn him out with house shows and pushing guys like Sheldon Benjamin.

Lesnar's gimmick is that he's got a legit background in mat wrestling from NCAA. Goldberg's gimmick was being a jacked bald guy with a goatee who couldn't do football any more. He was basically Mongo with a better look and better handlers... they gave him an undefeated streak and hyped that fact, and kept him sort of mysterious by not having him say too much. At first, at least. I don't know if I buy the theory that they pushed him because he looked like a bigger and more fit Austin, but at the same time it wouldn't surprise me.

Regal didn't let Goldy squash him in like a minute, which is what his matches usually were: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4IdelJfk2k

In other news, I saw Gone Girl. Whoever said it was "Fuckery: The movie" (Slay maybe?) was dead on. But it was dope. Also good to know that Batman has a
huge hog on him.

I'm pretty good. I was supposed to fight a ticket in traffic court today but the court had a power outage so now I have to go back on Monday. Also I got my tattoo mostly coloured today, I need to go back for another 1.5 hour session next week but it's looking pretty good now.
How are you?

Movie was good up until
the ending. So unsatisfying. The tits on his girlfriend were so fucking nice though. Bonus, the actress was also part of the fappening when I came home and looked her up

There was only one ending that could truly be satisfying and it would have been been the easiest and most cliche choice, so I didn't have much issue with it.

What ending would that have been?
I was hoping he would kill her when she came back or the cops would put the evidence together and realize she was framing him

The first one. I feel like any normal person would want that to be the desired out come by the end of the movie.
