Bill Goldberg's Possible Interest In TNA
 
I listened to it earlier and marked out.



Bill Goldberg was on Bubba the Love Sponge's Sirius radio show earlier today. Goldberg said that if TNA and Spike TV wanted to invest money and effort in going against WWE, he would be interested in talking with them. Goldberg also said that he's recently had conversations with Sting about TNA.

Goldberg also said that WWE "blew it" in regards to his Wrestlemania 20 match with Brock Lesnar. Goldberg also praised Hulk Hogan for helping him get the agent he is using now.

Could they even afford him?

loopydate 02-08-2006 10:38 PM

If they cut 3/4 of their roster, maybe.

And only if they only wanted to use him once.

McLegend 02-08-2006 11:05 PM

Gotta to be honest the mark in me wants to see a Joe/Goldberg.

Dorkchop 02-08-2006 11:17 PM

I'm all Meh about this. One one hand, it would be great for TNA to have another legitimate star. On the other hand Goldberg is a whiney baby and wants too much money to not put his heart into it and get the top spot while other guys who are putting everything they have into it and not come even close to Goldberg's level.

I know Goldberg and Sting are pretty close friends, so Sting joining probably had a hand in Goldberg's interest.

If he is willing to take a pay hit and get down on what TNA is willing to pay him maybe in exchange for a tiny (and in no way controlling) stake in TNA he could be a real asset to them.

The key would be though too have a LOT of indy jobbers infor one time shots and make him the monster WWE never wanted him to be. Shit Joe vs. Goldberg stiffing hell out of eachother could be great.

Funky Fly 02-09-2006 04:46 AM

This is fucking terrible news.

Bad Company 02-09-2006 06:19 AM

goldberg is a franchise, and he could do nothing but good for TNA.

Dave Youell 02-09-2006 06:19 AM

If you look at how many shows per month he'd have to do (like 3 a month) in theory his pay could and should be similar to Stings IMO

JH 02-09-2006 07:41 AM

i hope it happens cause i've always been a fan of Goldberg and he did help WCW draw some pretty good rartings and good buyrates

What Would Kevin Do? 02-09-2006 09:15 AM

Never liked him. I'm sure the smart TNA crowds will love him....

And I don't see how WWE blew the mania match.

That's pritty myopic

Chuck Jones 02-09-2006 10:01 AM

well, if TNA really did waste $20 million, they could've signed Goldberg, Rock, Austin and Jericho 3 timers over.

Pepsi Man 02-09-2006 10:44 AM

I don't see how WWE blew Goldberg's Mania 20 match. I saw two people blow that match, and both of them were in the ring.

Unleash-Hell 02-09-2006 10:54 AM

well i suppose another superstar for tna would be cool

but i still think it is horrible news

I really don't see the big fucking deal with Samoa Joe. THe few times I've bothered to watch TNA, I didn't see anything spectacular about him. Why is he so great and why would he go over Goldberg?

People always want to blame Goldberg.

You have no reason to believe he's anything other than a boring piece of trash.

TNA has not used him to his potential, or even like 25% of it. I've seen some of his matches outside of TNA, and he can be massively entertaining. However, it doesn't much matter, as the fanboys who worship him are behind him for shit he just doesn't do in TNA.

That explains that then. :)

Pretty much.

People will always continue to worship wrestlers that were successful in the indies or the like, even though they are reduced to 4 moves, lose all the things that made them fan favorites, and become another boring part of mainstream programming. It's like they're too stupid to see that the guy is now horribly boring, and cling to some notion that the old wrestler is still in there.

6to1 02-09-2006 12:59 PM

yea with only 2 or 3 matches a month goldberg would do it, he would do it just to be on tv, since there is a slim chance of him going to wwe thats about his only choice.

JH 02-09-2006 01:22 PM

the thing about Samoa Joe with me is I never saw him before TNA though i had heard of him...I thought he was impressive in his debut but i did'nt become a big fan until the 3 way with Styles & Daniels which is still my pick as match of the year from last year
I thought his match with Liger was solid and his singles match with Styles where he won the X Title was incredible and i cant wait til Sunday for the 3 way rematch

Mr. JL 02-09-2006 05:15 PM

I'm not too certain how to use Goldberg in TNA but I bet Jeff Jarrett is already setting the stones in place to job Goldberg out to himself and then have Goldberg become his lacky follower.

Savio 02-09-2006 05:42 PM

TNa would be great with out jarret. He's like a midcard triple H, except for some reason he has the title

Actually, THAT I'd pay to see.:D

Y3J 02-09-2006 06:06 PM

I nearly cried when I read this, this is terrible news. Firstly, TNA couldn't afford his lazy ass. Secondly, he most likely would want an immediate title match, so who would job? Thirdly, are there even any Goldberg fans out there :shifty:

Fourth, they don't have enough worthless jobbers to push Goldberg.

There's only so many times one man can pin Kenny King, Buck Quartermain, and Lex Lovett.

Xero 02-09-2006 07:05 PM

TNA Writer 1: Streak?
TNA Writer 2: Streak.
Writer 3: Streak.
Writer 4: Streak.
Christian: Job.
Writers: SHUT UP JAY!

Kane Knight 02-09-2006 07:16 PM

Goldberg: WHO'S NEXT?
Writer: Well, we can't give you Sting, he says Jesus doesn't want him to job. We can't give you Jarrett, 'nuff said. We can't give you AJ Styles or Jeff Hardy, those psychos in the Impact Zone will rip us into little tiny pieces. We can't give you Christian, for fear that he'll go back to WWE. We can't give you Monty Brown, because both our shittiest wrestlers will be in the ring with no-one to carry them. We're down to Rhyno, Abyss, and Sabu, and you've squashed them all this week. I wonder what happened to Amazing Red....

The CyNick 02-09-2006 07:23 PM

It would cool if they kept Samoa Joe undefeated and then had him beat Goldberg before going after the Heavyweight title.

Sharboy however can be beaten numorus times, and it never gets old.

West: Oh man!!!!!!!!!!! Goldberg signing with TNA is the nail in the coffin for us being the number one promotion today!
