Let me start by talking about the potential quality of this match. Match quality obviously doesn't matter too much. The WWE is just relying on hype for this match to sell tickets and get more subscribers. Nevertheless, it could be interesting to see what happens here. Brock Lesnar has been pushed as too much of an unstoppable force for a while now. Some of his matches have just become stupid due to the WWE either trying to protect him or trying to sell him as so dominant. Goldberg, on the other hand, is not the man he used to be. He just had surgery this year. He might not be able to do some of the things fans might like to see. Does that mean the WWE just has Lesnar dominate like he usually does? Goldberg beat Lesnar already. To just have Lesnar dominate here would be disappointing. Nevertheless, they can't do the same thing they did at Wrestlemania over a decade ago. Fans did not appreciate it too much, to say the least.
How about the WWE once again relying on part-timers to sell big PPVs and help them make money? This time, it's part-timer vs. part-timer. The WWE doesn't have faith in their full-time roster. And they shouldn't. The WWE has just done a terrible job with them. I once said that the only former talent the WWE should bring back are big names that could give them a boost. The WWE has obviously not done that, bringing back the likes of Jinder Mahal. But Goldberg does fit the profile. Nevertheless, the WWE should stop looking for easy answers and start doing a better job building new stars. Goldberg is almost 50. How many guys currently used full-time can you imagine coming back when they are 50 and really drawing for the WWE? These guys have enough trouble drawing in a consistent audience now. Shift focus to the talent under 40.
