Within the past few days there's been various rumours and reports that Bill Goldberg is interested in working a match at Wrestlemania 31, but that it would need to be for the right paycheck. Jim Ross has tweeted a follow up to this story, confirming what has been rumoured in the past - that Goldberg wants his son to see him wrestle.
I suppose there's a few questions that come with this story:
- Would WWE have any interest in bringing Goldberg in for a Wrestlemania match?
- Would you, as a wrestling fan, have any interest?
But the main question that is on my mind is really, would it be worth it, from a financial point of view? It's been over a decade since the absolute piece of shit that was Brock Lesnar versus Goldberg at Wrestlemania XX, and since that match Goldberg has done very little in terms of staying in the limelight, as opposed to the two obvious examples of The Rock and Brock Lesnar who only boosted their popularity between leaving the WWE and making their high profile returns. Whether you're a fan of the terms of their contracts or not, their involvement in the company is very obviously 'best for business'. I'm finding it difficult to gauge where Bill Goldberg sits on this totem pole. It's been such a long time that he was a huge deal in WCW - how much of a deal is he now? Does he have any right to hold out for unrealistic amounts of money, and is there any value in it from the company's point of view?
Would Bill Goldberg be a worthwhile draw come Wrestlemania 31?
