I have talked to them a number of times throughout the past but this is where you're going to get the most blunt answer you're going to get from me: The product is too cheesy. It doesn't deserve to have...I mean, whatever.

If there was a comparable, viable option as a competitor that would allow me to still look myself in the mirror after I was a member of their roster, yeah, then it would be a consideration but not a chance.

He's right, they don't deserve to be saddled with an elderly Bill Goldberg.

At least AEW dodged one bullet.

If AEW is too cheesy for him, then one wonders how he managed to have a wrestling career at all.

Still, I see this as an absolute win.

@ImADifferentBird particularly as he spent most of his career in late day wcw

How he managed to still have a career after throwing Jimmy fuckin Hart head first into the mat is beyond me.

Jimmy is unlucky that Haku got stunned by his own head-drop cause Bill might have been flat-out murdered before he got his hands on Jimmy otherwise lmao.

Yeah Goldberg is lucky to be alive after that match, but he's lucky to be alive after all of his matches lately.

OK.

Anyway...

Lol Goldberg you have 3 moves that you can't do properly anymore without injuring yourself or your opponent, your matches barely last 3 minutes and that's because if you go longer you will hurt someone.

I'll take cheesy over boring and predictable old Bill.

1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.
