It'd be Chris Sabin they make him job to the main eventers all the time

I love Dubya C Dubya and all, but I hope this means they won't be trying to turn TNA into it.

Things that might hurt TNA:

Cost: TNA technically has a bottomless pit of funding, but in reality, they've been pretty limited in their budget. Unless the parent company really wants to start pumping more funding into TNA, paying for even a limited Goldberg rpesence could severely damage them.

Roster: TNA's roster is limited, and you know Goldberg will want to be big. TNA doesn't have the roster or artillery to support him. Fueds with top stars will be damaging longterm, unless Goldberg's actually willing to put some people over.

Venue: TNA's not particularly situated to make money off of higher attendences. Buyrates'll go up, cable ratings will go up, but it's unlikely to majorly affect income, once you factor in the increased cost of actually paying for him. He might be a good move if they were actively touring, but since they can't afford to, and they'd risk losing a lot of performers if they did start touring, this could negatively affect them.

So yes, BC, it IS myopic to say he could do nothing but good for them.

TNA definetely needs a Goldberg type name to help establish itself as competitiion for Vinnie Mac & Crew @ WWE. They haven't really done anything "major" since the death of WCW.

But, back to the topic @ hand: Goldberg. Anyone who says he wouldn't be a plus for TNA is ignorant. Goldberg is a household name who drew decent money during a time of no-solid drawing during WCW's demise. Goldberg has a definite fan-base behind him. It's funny. Nobody hated on Goldberg on the 'net back during his streak days leading up to his win for the WCW title vs. Hogan. During those days, "net" fans praised him and ate him up. Nowadays, you've got the "bandwagon haters" who don't like him because it's the popular concensus among their peers of internet wrestling fans[which is the same reason Cena catches it].

Bottom line, if Goldberg came in and was pushed as he was in WCW, he could be a major name to help TNA compete with WWE.

*On a side note: Was watching Wrestlemania XX yesterday[as I do with alot of older wrestling PPVs when nothing's on TV] and I noticed that BOTH Lesnar & Goldberg looked lost. Therefore, sole blame can't be dumped onto Billy boy. Does that mean I think he's a "great" wrestler? No. I think he's a decent worker that doesn't get credit for his wrestling accomplishments. Although I hate him still for ending Bret Hart's wrestling career

They can't build him like they did in WCW. They don't have a big enough roster.

Agreed. TNA needs to bring other big names in order to make a Goldberg run work. The only negative aspect of Goldberg in TNA is the injury factor. It would suck to see a Chris Sabin or Chris Daniels get permanetely injured because Goldberg screwed up.......again.

*Side note: I wonder if Goldberg & Bret Hart are brought in @ the same time, will Bret have any negativity issues with Bill? Just a thought

TNA need a ton of jobbers too. I mean, more than they already have in the X-Division (5 or 6 distinct guys, and a bunch of generics). Most of Bill's squash matches were against little people.

BTW, yes, WMXX wasn't just Goldberg's fault. IT was Snitsky's...But seriously, Lesnar shares the blame. Big time.

Goldberg in TNA would be amazing... He is the biggest name they could possibly get... I mean really The Rock just wouldn't work in TNA, and Austin isn't capable of competing on a regular basis... Goldberg is a huge name, a huge draw, and he puts on good matches with skilled opponents. I would want it to be when TNA gets two hours of TV time though. I would love to see Abyss take the belt off of Cage in several months and then have an unstoppable title reign with feuds like - Abyss/Christian Cage, Abyss/Sting, Abyss/Monty Brown, Abyss/Joe, maybe another Abyss/Syles feud would be good. Then have Goldberg come in and start a smaller program against say Rhino, Brown, or Jarret (eck), and then feud with Abyss... that would really be a good match.

WrestleMag:: Have TNA approached you in the past about coming in in some capacity to work with them?

Goldberg:: Yes, TNA has approached me on many different levels about working for them. And like I said, “Never say never"!
