Goldberg’s return got a lot of people talking. That is what WWE wanted. The big question is what they do with Goldberg at this point. AEW is using Sting in a very different way than WWE’s use of Goldberg. This is obviously a big topic of conversation in the Internet Wrestling Community right now.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
