Goldberg vs Gunther Is a Joke—And Not a Funny One
🎥 Prefer to watch the full episode? It’s embedded below.👇
What do you call a 58-year-old man demanding a title shot because he went 176–0 in 1998? In wrestling, we call that a problem.
Bill Goldberg is back—again—and WWE is handing him a World Heavyweight Championship match against Gunther like it’s still the Monday Night Wars. Except now, nostalgia ain’t a pop. It’s a crutch.
This isn’t about age. It’s about ego. And the way WWE keeps rolling out the red carpet for past legends while stalling the ones who should be legends. You want to know what’s dangerous? Not the spear. The booking.
TL;DR
Goldberg vs Gunther is lazy, risky, and wildly undeserved
Goldberg thinks he's on the same level as The Rock and Stone Cold—he’s not
Gunther deserves evolution, not babysitting pro wrestling's past
Jey Uso might be the only way to salvage this if he beats Goldberg
WWE’s problem isn’t nostalgia—it’s addiction to it

Why Goldberg’s Return Offends Me
This ain’t hate. It’s exhaustion. Wrestling fans want emotional arcs, high-stakes drama, and moments that elevate the future—not museum tours featuring guys who peaked when people still used AOL.
Goldberg coming back to wrestle Gunther is a slap in the face to everything Gunther has built. The Intercontinental Champ turned main eventer should be climbing. Not babysitting a nostalgia act who hasn’t had a meaningful match since the Georgia Dome.
Let’s be real—Goldberg isn’t here to elevate anyone. He doesn’t pass the torch. He eats it. This match doesn’t make Gunther a star. It dims his light and risks his credibility if he loses—or worse, if it’s a five-minute squash.
The sad part? Goldberg thinks he's earned this. He literally said he deserves the same pull as The Rock and Stone Cold because of WCW. WCW! That’s like demanding VIP status at the club because you had a library card in 1998.
But here’s the twist: what if WWE is using Goldberg to make someone? What if Jey Uso beats him for the title? That could flip the script. But if this is just Goldberg’s farewell ego trip, then we’re all getting worked—and not in the good way.
