Gillberg Talks Possible Match With Goldberg: “I’ll Bust Him Up”

December 9, 2022

He’s not next. There are very few wrestlers in history who have made the kind of impact that Goldberg made at the start of his career. After a rather successful football career, Goldberg would go on to become a huge star in wrestling. Goldberg was best known for his undefeated streak where he beat all comers for over a year, but it turns out there was one name he refused to face during his career. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Comeback: Triple H Posts Photo With Celebrity WWE Star During Goldberg’s popularity in WCW, the WWF created a parody character called Gillberg, portrayed by Duane Gill, a much smaller wrestler. Gill recently appeared on the Cafe de Rene podcast and talked about his time as Gillberg. Gill claims that he approached Goldberg about a match between the two of them, but Goldberg turned him down every time. According to a joking Gill, Goldberg was afraid to face him in the ring. It was a funny statement. Check out the clip plus both of them in the ring: [This post contains..

Hand It Over: Title Change Takes Place On WWE SmackDown

June 11, 2022

History has been made! There are a lot of titles under the WWE banner and some of them have been around for a very long time. Those titles are the ones that can kick start a wrestler’s rise to the top and the Intercontinental Title has a history of doing just that. The title might not have a perfect record, but winning it can be a great sign. That might be the case again. This week on SmackDown, Gunther defeated Ricochet to win the Intercontinental Title for the first time in his career. Gunther debuted on SmackDown in April and has gone undefeated since then, with his match against Ricochet being his first title shot. This comes amid reports of WWE higher ups, including Vince McMahon himself, being impressed with Gunther’s work so far. Opinion: This is a nice thing to see as Gunther feels like someone who could be different. You don’t get a monster like him very often and the fact that WWE is willing to give him the title before he has had the chance to undergo one of the company’s ..

WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Has Its Eye On Another AEW Star

Someone has caught their eye. WWE has made a lot of changes in recent years and a lot of them involve their roster.

I guess he isn’t happy. There are all kinds of changes taking place in the wrestling world these days and some of them are a lot more interesting than others. Perhaps the biggest in recent memory was CM Punk’s AEW debut, as Punk had been away from the wrestling world for over seven year. Now he is back, and believe it or not, he has something to say about what is happening in WWE. Punk was recently interviewed by Josh Martinez and spoke about what he described as the WWE booking formula. Punk mentioned that WWE has a history of bringing wrestlers back in and having them win the Royal Rumble before going on to main event WrestleMania, including Batista in 2014 and Edge in 2021. Both would go on to lose their WrestleMania title matches. Punk went on to say that he does not like such repetitive booking and wants to tell stories he finds fun. He made his AEW debut on August 20 and has gone undefeated since. Punk has been a force in AEW so far. Check out the interview and what he has been..

Former WWE Star Tells Surprising Story About Goldberg

July 9, 2021

Odd pairings are fun. Every now and then, you see some wrestlers come together for a match that surprises you in a good way. What can make it even more interesting is when it takes place between wrestlers on vastly different levels of star power. It can make for some very nice moments and now we know something new about a pairing that only got together a few times. In a new interview with Wrestlinginc.com, former WWE star Rodney Mack spoke about his relationship with Goldberg when they were in the company together. At the time, Mack was on an undefeated streak, which was broken by Goldberg on the June 23, 2003 Monday Night Raw. According to Mack, Goldberg did not want to end Mack’s streak and stuck up for him with management, but Mack was in no position to argue the decision. Mack also said he wished they could have worked a program together, as they could have drawn money. The two only met once.

Details On Rey Mysterio’s Retirement Ceremony

May 26, 2020

That sounds important. At some point, every wrestler has to hang up their boots for good. It might not seem like something that will happen to everyone, but as the saying goes, Father Time is undefeated. No matter how good a wrestler may be, they are going to walk away at some point. That seems to be the case with a certain top WWE name, but it might not be happening as advertised. There may never be a more popular or successful masked wrestler than Rey Mysterio. He has been around for over twenty five years now and is a multiple time WWE World Champion. His style revolutionized wrestling and has inspired countless wrestlers over the next generation. Mysterio will have to retire at some day as well and WWE is advertising it for next week. Hold on a second though. WWE has announced that Seth Rollins will be hosting Mysterio’s retirement ceremony.
