Don't get butt hurt Tj

Too easy. Even for you. I put out the cake and the fat kid ate it, though. Should not be surprised. This thread should be about making fun of stukkband, anyway.

And, I suppose, for discussing Goldberg's hypothetical return to the WWE.

agreed... lets go

comon open your mouth now jackass I know you're on... what you got to say now? gonna post some more pics of "you in the 80's" and claim you're me? what's up?

Lawl.

OH wow I hurt his feelings! Mr. "Don't say smark on a wrestling forum" had to go cry.

I tried to warn you to to go jack off somewhere and leave me alone suckband.

Settle down, tjmidnight420

on it... :shifty:

If that is your real name.

As a Brit, I've never understood the appeal of baseball as a sport. But wasn't it popular for the experience? A day out at a classic stadium, hot dogs etc. Are the declining viewing figures relative to the tearing down of the classic and vintage baseball grounds? And the introduction of evening/night games?

I'm convinced this stukkband is a sock. Anyone want to fess up? Noid?

Nah, just TJ. :wave:

I've learned to never doubt El Dandy.

They probably have more to do with the growth of other sports, and the expansion of entertainment in general.
Like everything else, it's more niche oriented. In the old days, when there were like 5 channels on the television, more people were tuning into/paying attention to the same things.
Nowadays, people can tune out of the world series to watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians or some shit.
The same goes for movies, and television programs. There were less options, so everyone was into the same stuff more or less.

Now the sports world is massive. There are entire channels dedicated not only to sports, but each sport. Since then, the major leagues of football, basketball and hockey have gotten on the map. Neither of the three were huge nationally like baseball was.

Also, his figures are misleading. The trend graphs show growth for nascar, and decline for baseball, sure. It's irrelevant though.
If you actually read the graphs and look at the viewers in millions you will see that they are scaled differently, and Nascar isn't exceeding the World Series by much, or at all, in all of those years presented.

Also, there are some sports that will never catch on on the other side of their respective "pond". Cricket and baseball.

Goldberg Return?
 

Does anyone give a fuck about Goldberg still? I know I don't.

Glacier probably doesn't.

Yeah, I hear Glacier is cold on the idea.

At this stage in the game, I don't think he'd be anywhere near as over as he was when he left. Maybe in the Impact Zone where they'll pop for the hot dog vendor.

But a return to WWE wouldn't cause a big splash like it originally did. The crowd has turned over a bit. I think they could easily get him back over though, with the wonders of their promotion/video packages, and a push.
I don't think it's that exciting either way though. I couldn't really care less. I think it would be kind of a waste since he's not that great and you'd have to put him over a lot of people to make it work.
Anything more than 3-6 months of him would get stale quickly as well.

let's do a little research next time before we make a thread, k?

Dr. Not So Perfect

by the way, where did you get your PhD?

I stole it

Former World Heavyweight Champion Bill Goldberg announced on his Twitter account this evening that he’s negotiating with WWE regarding a possible return to the company.

“YES.. I am in negotiations with the WWE,” Goldberg wrote. “Looks like ‘ole Hogan and TNA missed the boat. Shame for the fans they didn’t even try.”

While Goldberg has been critical of WWE since his departure from the organization in 2004 and repeatedly said he had no interest in returning to wrestle, he acknowledged a change in heart.

“Truth is I never thought I’d even consider it…then came my son,” Goldberg said. “No one said I’d wrestle but the door is open again.”

He also added that if he ever steps foot inside a ring again, it will be alongside San Diego Chargers outside linebacker Shawne Merriman. The three-time Pro Bowler is a huge WWE fan to say the least, so much so that he asked their Twitter account on Monday if he could participate in the live chat on WWE.com.

“Also…. If I ever did step in the ring again, I have a new tag partner. He goes by the name of “Lights Out!!!! the one and only Shawn Merriman…..updating the old Goldberg/Kevin Greene duo,” Goldberg wrote.

So you're saying it's impossible that WWE wants him on a legends deal for merch, maybe for a movie deal?

Not impossible, but extremely unlikely. My guess is that this whole thing is a crap attempt at an April Fool's joke.

An April Fool's joke in March. Makes sense.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can (and should) check out at JRsBarBQ.com. In this entry, Ross responds to a Twitter post made by former WWE & WCW Champion Bill Goldberg about negotiating with WWE and TNA "dropping the ball" on not signing him first. JR writes:

"Bill Goldberg reports that he is negotiating with WWE but my best guess is that it's not about a return to the ring. Bill is a smart entrepreneur and the former Tulsa Edison and University of Georgia football star likely is looking at doing a marketing deal with WWE that might include video games, possible WWE HOF Induction next year in Atlanta, and merchandise sales."

Despite the fact that Ross doesn't believe Goldberg is negotiating to return to the ring on a full-time basis, he could see Goldberg getting back in the ring one more time if the right situation presented itself.

"After being involved in several of these type deals, I can see where both parties can benefit from an arrangement. Goldberg gets the opportunity to earn additional cash without putting his body through hell and he gets some nice exposure for his various TV vehicles. The WWE could monetize Goldberg's likeness in a variety of ways. Is it possible for Goldberg to come back and perform in a 'farewell bout' in the Georgia Dome next year at WM27? It's possible one has to assume."

I’m on the boat with those supporting a return. I can barely remember his run in WWE and was never a fan, but he has a few matches still ahead of him. It could be shot in the arm for one of the brands and would certainly freshen the product up to inject a name like him into RAW, given his importance and the hype it will create.

Too bad Goldberg vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin didn’t ever happen. That match in 2001 would’ve killed all buyrates prior.

I'm not sure how Goldberg has any matches ahead of him. He barely has any behind him.

heyoooo

It makes perfect sense. Some of the best April Fools' jokes are planned out a few weeks in advance....only to be revealed on April 1st. Maybe this tradition doesn't exist amongst lower income Mexican families. :?:

So Goldberg's gonna tweet "lol jk" on April 1st?

Yeah, maybe if my family owned a few 7-Eleven's I might have been able to pick up that tradition.

LMAO @ illegal aliens

The only time I can picture him working a match would be WrestleMania 27 in the Georgia Dome, so I’d figure it will be Goldberg/John Cena if something happens.
