Jim Ross Blog: Thoughts on Goldberg Possibly Returning to WWE, Have Official Talks Begun?, Kevin Owens in Title Match Tonight, Mr. Fuji

August 29, 2016

A new Jim Ross blog has been posted over at JRsBarBQ.com and below are some highlights.

“Booking Kevin Owens to be the next Universal Champion doesn’t bother me at all, by the way but I’m not counting on it. Obviously, booking Big Cass to ‘look good’ will be in play as it should be but his time simply hasn’t come yet, IMO. Reigns is still a work in progress in the art of constructing a fan favorite and his issue with Rusev interests me more than Roman Reigns in this title picture Monday night.

One question might be could one produce a meaningful “TV angle” and have Goldberg’s first match be at Wrestlemania, which is what I would likely prefer, unless a handful of key matches could be promoted that would increase revenues for all and get Bill sharp for WM33. WWE has all the video that they need to rebuild Goldberg for today’s audience plus they have the ability to record his journey back which could be some compelling content. In addition, this arrangement could also benefit WWE 2K17 in which Goldberg has a huge presence.

If one of the two C’s, cash or creative, doesn’t rear its ugly head, then there is no reason that this deal cannot get done. If this potential partnership does materialize, and it’s a win-win affair, then I wholeheartedly endorse Goldberg at WM33 in a big way.

As I understand it, no official talks have begun on this matter and there are no guarantees that they will occur.

Sad to hear of the passing Sunday of Mr. Fuji who was one of the great, tag team specialists in the pro mat game for years and who was known as a great bump taker and remarkable heel beginning in the 60’s.”
