    Presumably they won't have them sharing a ring aside from maybe a dramatic STAREDOWN. Would have also been better if they hadn't built up to it in fucking press conferences and just Goldberg interrupt Heyman/Baroque while they were doing some 'there's nobody left to job to THE BEAST' promo. Or something.

    What we really want to see is a shoot fight triple-threat between him, Regal and Jericho.

    I don't get Lesnar Vs Goldberg. It was shit 12 years ago and now one of them is pushing 50. If Goldberg wins it makes Brock and everyone he's destroyed look like shit because they lost to a guy who can't beat an OAP and if Lesnar wins then Goldberg was just a waste of time. It's just not doing it for me. Give me more Owens and Jericho.

    I can't see a way in which the match won't be shit and the result seems a foregone conclusion. It's hard to imagine Goldberg will want to do A Brock Lesnar Match and as you say, there seems little point in anything other than a Lesnar win. Which means you presumably have them try to actually wrestle a proper match that Goldberg then loses. Goldberg's not up to that and Lesnar isn't interested in making anybody look good even if they're not twenty years older than him.

    I didn't really understand the Heyman/Baroque segment on Raw. Is Heyman meant to be scared of Goldberg on Lesnar's behalf, hence the weird flustered promo? is Lesnar meant to have some festering resentment after their last match?

    Odd.

    Lesnar probably does legitimately have resentment about the last match after how it came together, but I've not seen the segment. It doesn't surprise me if it was shit though.

    It was just the normal Lesnar standing about while Heyman cut a promo thing but Heyman was doing a lot of faux-stuttering and it was just odd.

    Trying to cut a heel promo in Baroque Lesnar's home town was good scheduling as well.

    Yea just seen this on a dirt sheet:

    According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio, Vince McMahon "blew a gasket" last night at WWE Monday Night RAW in Minneapolis due to the crowd's response during Brock Lesnar's segment with Paul Heyman.

    Heyman tried to get the audience behind Goldberg, but fans chanted "Goldberg sucks" in support of the hometown favorite Brock Lesnar. Brian Alvarez also mentioned that this was not how the segment was supposed to end, and apparently Vince "pulled the plug" in the middle of Heyman's promo.

    They have wasted Lesnar for eighteen months, and this is a terrible programme. If he wins what was the point, and if he loses then where does he go from there (and why is their top man being knocked off by a retired old bastard)?

    The Rock murdered all the Wyatts (in more ways than one), Stone Cold and Michaels dicked a load of guys over basically in their slippers at a recent Wrestlemania, Nash came back not long ago donning most of the Rumble in the process and Mad Dog Vachon beat up current (at the time) roster talent with his own wooden leg at his Hall of Fame announcement.

    Age equals badassery, it has always been thus.

    Sting losing to HHH was great, but then they already did that with Goldberg the first time.

    Speaking of the Rumble are we in line for any obvious winners yet, assuming Reigns isn't winning it every year until the fans give up and start cheering him?

    When is Pap O'Shango back?

    In the recent tradition of totally predictable Rumble winners it has to be Balor. In my dream fantasy world it's a completely un-billed Shinsuke in at number 30.

    They really do need to have a jobber win it one time. It's one of those matches where, if this was all real, as they are supposed to pretend it is, someone shit would have won it by now. I guess Vince won one, but that was too long ago. It doesn't take any skill to throw someone out the ring, so the top guys always winning even if they enter number 1 is a bit stupid.

    Said jobber doesn't need to make it to Wrestlemania, but still.

    Wouldn't be a bad shout, although the inevitability of Ambrose screwing him over and stealing the shot, and another member of The Shield main eventing WM would be annoying.

    Still, I'd take it.

    He's got his own t-shirt already despite not actually being contracted which is a bit mad.

    He's probably better off quitting now and milking it on the indies before he outstays his welcome like Colin Delaney and Zach Gowen.

    Even somebody who is legitimately a massive strong bastard winning it would be a surprise, which it shouldn't be. Every time a Kane or Big Show enters the commentators shit their pants and then of course they don't win.

    I'm enjoying '11 vintage Mark Henry on the Network just now. Have him win it and reopen the Hall.

    Didn't Big Show get booed to death last time he came out and cleaned house at the Rumble? The other problem with someone big winning it (as much as I loved Kane at various points he needs to stop) is that you immediately assume their WM match is going to be crap, which it would be. To steal a someone else's catchphrase, new era same old shit, it's not 2005 any more.

    Of course, but if we're talking about a surprise winner (who will lose the shot anyway or at least not main event) I'd rather have a competent big guy win it than No Chin Music.

    I'd rather have a big name from NXT (Jeff or Nakamura this time, maybe a bit early for Bobby Roooooooooooooooooooooooooo) as a surprise entrant, or at least a big guy who can work a bit. Not sure who that would be these days, Straw Boatman can fuck off for a start.

    Quite enjoyed the wimmins match and glad it got to actually be main event. Before I realised on the Network the crap post-chat thing was going to be counted part of the PPV and therefore the running time I wondered what was going to fill up the show after their match.

    Liked Owens/Rollins as well. They've made Rollins look invincible but they're making similar mistakes with Owens as they did with Rollins because they only know how to book one type of heel nowadays.

    I liked the women's match to a point, but couldn't help but notice how sloppy it was throughout. It wasn't close to being their best match unfortunately. The start and finish were both wank, and that killed a lot of it for me.

    Owens Vs Rollins was also alright, but again nothing ground breaking. That was probably an improvement on their other matches though, which is something.

    All in all though thought it was another sub-par effort from the RAW brand. Smackdown really does shit all over them.

    If she did I fully expect WWE to use it for a heel turn, probably for a feud with Nikki "John doesn't want kids" Bella.

    Can anyone recommend any decent wrestling documentaries?

    I've watched 'The Rise and Fall of ECW' and one about Stone Cold Steve Austin on a plane this last fortnight, and any others would be cool.

    I'm sure this was asked not long ago.

    "Beyond the mat" is probably the go to one. The "Monday Night Wars" series on the network is good too, though gets a bit repetitive towards the end. I enjoyed the Paul Heyman one they have on there too, but I've not really watched many.

    Whichever commentator it was who said Rusev was trying to take Goldberg down at the knee when he in fact stumbled donned it. What a load of shit that is going to be.

    The ones for Paul Heyman, Foley and CM Punk are all really good. Big Show's pretty decent as well and it's just under an hour. Not documentaries but if what you're after is wrestling people talking about wrestling then there's good stuff on the Stone Cold Podcast and Table for Three as well.

    The only thing that's missing is a quiet dinner scene being ruined by the sounds of Stu choking people in the dungeon. When Vince leaves his office.

    Raw tonight. Top three things I'm hoping for:
    - 40 minute Authority promo
    - Thirteen terrible, overly telegraphed suicide dives per match
    - Return of D'Lo
