They have an article on the front page titled: "The art of effective communication: An interview with WWE's Seth Rollins." That's the guy you're asking about effective communication? Seth freakin' Rollins? And yeah, I skimmed the article, and it's about cutting promos and connecting with an audience. Like, you could have asked The Miz, for one, or some other guy with at least a few mic skills that the company wants repping the company and maybe gotten a useful answer. The last I saw of Seth Rollins, he was cutting an utterly shitty promo in the middle of my PBA event doing some weird Prince/shady yoga instructor combination for a gimmick. He's one of the best arguments for having more managers in wrestling. Didn't Seth say during the pandemic that "crowds can get in the way of the stories WWE wants to tell"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if it's the same damn prison every time? You'd think they would do something about the security at this point! Do they WANT people to escape, or what?

The Natural Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Watched this today.

I can see that happening. By doing so Goldberg will have held four different world titles: WCW Heavyweight Championship (1998), World Heavyweight Championship (2003), WWE Universal Championship (2017) and WWE Championship (2021). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious if this meant that Goldberg was automatically the oldest wrestler to ever challenge for the WWE Championship. He is not. Ric Flair challenged Edge for the WWE Championship in 2006 in a match on Raw and he was a year older than Goldberg is now. I really, really doubt Goldberg is going to get the W, but then again, the WWE seems to be in an on-going challenge to see just what it will take for the rest of the remaining audience to stop tuning in so maybe it will?

Eoae Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Goldberg's contract makes me think he's not winning the title this weekend Spoiler Apparently his contract only calls for 2 matches per year. He wrestled at WM, so if he wins the title, Vince is going to have to negotiate a new deal just to get him in the ring to drop the belt. On the other hand, Vince hasn't built up any challengers for Lashley besides Drew, who can't challenge for the title and has jobbed to Lashley a couple times already (and is extremely stale in general), so I dunno who would be next for Lashley unless they're bringing someone over from SDL in the next draft.

HumanChessgame Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Lashley squashing Goldberg then Big E cashing in the MITB would be the best case scenario, but based on Smackdown they're saddling him with Corbin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Big E challenging him at a PPV instead of a surprise cash-in so maybe the Corbin stuff is a placeholder. That or Big E cashes in at SummerSlam and then feuds with Baron Corbin the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
