It was fine. It wasn't the best Sasha/Charlotte match, but it was ok. Charlotte's twisting moonsault was outstanding.JB Breakfast Club said:
He was in WWE a few years back as one of Edge's henchmen, then got caught in the "we have nothing for you" vortex and disappeared with little fanfare.

Would be so WWE to have built Lesnar up this much to have him job to 50 year old Goldberg.Then we get Goldberg-Taker at Mania
'
A lot of the audience won't even know who he is
He wasn't a draw because WWE "Creative" put a blonde wig on him and basically stripped him of what made him awesome in WCW (until WCW stripped that, too of course).Would be so WWE to have built Lesnar up this much to have him job to 50 year old Goldberg.Then we get Goldberg-Taker at Mania
Goldberg wasn't a draw 13 years ago. I'm sure this will be different
Didn't his moveset consist of a Spear, a Big Boot, a Punch, a clothesline, and a Suplex/Powerslam? If Roman Reigns can't get over with this same set of moves, how would Goldberg get over today? I think I'd rather see Gilberg go against Lesnar.
How did Hulk Hogan get over with his limited moveset? His only revolutionary change to his offense was whipping people with his belt.
We were young and naive back then...plus no IWC to help pile on the snark and criticism. Different age of wrestling back then that can't compare to what is out there now. Same as when Goldberg was out there wrestling. Not as much access online, so the story (legend?) of Goldberg carried some weight and became a "must tune in" event every Monday night. Viewers (and IWC?) expect a lot more than just a big boot, spear, and jackhammer slam to get someone over.
I can understand that. Even in 1998, we still were accepting of stars with limited movesets. For instance, Steve Austin's moveset wasn't exactly diverse, but if he were to return for one more match, people would mark out still because he's Steve Austin.We were young and naive back then...plus no IWC to help pile on the snark and criticism.

With that said, Lesnar has made a career out of Suplex City. So go figure?
He's pretty much always worked for WWE. He's former WWE tag co-champions with Zack Ryder. Sure, I understand why you'd forget that, though. But he's been with the WWE since their version of ECW was a thing.
Goldberg didn't help himself by crippling his own hand smashing out a window and putting him out of action for a few months.
Just coming here to ask this. I don't care, I've been loving the vignettes. Hope they have something good for him
I don't remember him at all, though there was a period from about 2002-2010 when I watched almost no wrestling.
Let's not forget about #72....Armbar.
Cena and Ambrose both had submission moves on AJ. He taps. Bell rings. Ref waves it off so there can be only one winner, but nothing announced over the PA. Most think AJ is out, so he says F it, grabs a chair, knocks out Cena...and pins him to keep the belt.
Loved the match. I'll miss the neverending IC title tour, but that was a 5 star match, and Miz proved yet again, he can work with and put anyone over. Not that Ziggler needs help getting over. That should have been the finishing match. Orton and Wyatt were put in a horrible position to try to follow it, but point blank that was a snoozer and I could not have given any less ####s about the Luke Harper swerve.
Shane McMahon said the same thing on "Talking Smack" afterwards. Great match. It should help Ziggler.
Yep I watched that. What else could he say. Daniel Bryan laid it at his feet and it was a pretty big misjudgment. Of what, Miz and Ziggler's ability to put together a match? In a TITLE vs CAREER match? Nah, we gotta close the show with the BIG. NEWS. The return of LUKE.... HARPER? A mid carder?
Basically did the spot from John Cena/CM Punk/Big Show at Summerslam 2012 where there was a double submission and the match continued.
Sort of. What if they let Lesnar squash him too? They need to spread this out a little further. I don't like Goldberg. This will bring headlines. Milk it. Then let Brock take the moron to Suplex City. This stuff is already on ESPN....
Been reading rumors that if everything falls through for Corgan TNA deal that WWE will likely swoop in and buy the company (or at the very least their video library). Another related rumor is that WWE is looking to expand WWE Network to include more than just their brands. This would factor into that and they are expected to work a deal with several other organizations for licensing if that happens. I'm too lazy to include links. There's news about it all over the net.Billy Corgan, who was just named president of TNA Wrestling....is suing TNA Wrestling and its parent company. Was rumored recently he had bought the company....which obviously not the case.

Just embarassing. Matt Hardy has had the best stuff by far in wrestling this year but just fold already. Dixie having any part in wrestling is a joke. Her daddy's company won't even fund this moneypit anymore. Sad for the performers but if Corgan wants in wrestling that bad, he can create a company (w/o any stench of TNA Wrestling with it)
Edit: Appears they're now also being sued for nonpayment by their former production company. http://411mania.com/wrestling/tna-aroluxe-also-sued-by-former-production-company/ that provided work for Bound for Glory 2015.. Finally things are crumbling down on Dixie......no more sweet talking her way out of reality.
Sounds like Dixie was borrowing money..............then when that money source dried up.......she'd move onto someone else. And completely ignore demands for payback. Wow. If she/Impact can't settle the debts, the company is gonna be pried away from her in all likelihood. http://www.sescoops.com/exclusive-who-funded-tnas-latest-tapings-dixie-carter-owes-billy-corgan-money/
And there's more!!! Add unpaid taxes to the State of TN to the lien list!!!!
Reportedly owe $3.5 mil + $300k+ for production work + money owed Billy Corgan + back taxes owed State of TN. Oof. Depending on how many tapings Corgan funded, easily looking at well over $5 mil they owe (as so far reported). I'm sure it'll come out they owe much much more when others come forth. Pretty sure Eric Bischoff and company have a lawsuit against TNA in the $500k range.
I just find it really hard to believe that Goldberg signed on the line that is dotted to come back to be Lesnar's chew toy in a one-off.
