What is my fault is forgetting the Main and Bergen lines don't go through Newark. Although that makes it funnier since aside from missing an obivious NJ train and not an Amtrak, Amtrak doesn't even go through Hoboken.

The proper version just says "Wanted Dead". You are right, of course. I autofilled the "or Alive" even though I have the original version around somewhere. "Wanted Dead" is better, of course, but both are way, way, way better than "Acknowledge Me," so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a baseball analogy would be better for Americans? It's like WWE going into partnership with the Rocket City Trash Pandas of Double-A baseball, which, honestly, they should. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proper version just says "Wanted Dead". I never knew/noticed that. I guess it's time for me to hand in my Mick Foley fan club badge. Agree that the Hurt Business was ended way too early. No one in the group was ever that interesting to me, but somehow as a well dressed unit they became the squad. even with this stupid Goldberg match going the way it most likely will, it would have been fun seeing the old man spear Benjamin and Alexander on his way to victory in some contrived match interference spots.

Curt McGirt Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Another cherry on top of the Seth Rollins cake, so to speak, is him trying to be some kind of cult leader type* and he can't even think how to work THAT into a reaction. * Admittedly, I don't watch his shit anymore, so is that what he's going for? Or am I just talking out my ass here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Why is everyone assuming Goldberg is going to win? Isn't he deal structured for two matches per year? So this is his second match of 2021. You guys think they're going to put the world title on Goldberg and let it sit dormant until 2022? He has two matches left on the deal, but none left for this year after the Lashley match. I guess they could have Big E cash in Saturday if Goldberg agreed to that as all part of the one match. But I don't see that as very likely at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does ok with audiences right now though he is still Seth Rollins so expect little in terms of good promos.

RIPPA Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 And to clarify one point - even if Summerslam is Goldberg's last match "of the year" per his contract - he will absolutely agree to the Saudi show because of the insane amount of money he gets for doing just that one match (He got $3 million for the fiasco of a match against Taker there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the sense even for the crazy Saudi money, grumpy ass old Goldberg wouldn't wanna work an extra shot. He seems like he hates everything to do with wrestling. So the bare minimum to get his contracted number is his jam. I did look it up and since he signed that deal it's been 2 matches a year only, no added extra ones. 2019 was the Saudi Taker match and the singles vs Ziggler. 2020 was beating Bray in Saudi then dropping the belt to Strowman at Mania. 2021 is McIntyre at Rumble, Lashley at Summerslam. It seems like an awful lot of trouble for virtually zero gain. But I do believe that has replaced "Anything can happen in the WWF" as the company motto now lol.

Considering the way his podcast interview really exposed how forced and inorganic Roman's push had been (which really made Roman a smark Pariah, right in the middle of his babyface ace run).

I've spent enough time in Newark to know the difference between the cities. They don’t look the same; Newark is a through-running station with high platforms, Hoboken is a terminal (which is why Ruby can just walk past multiple tracks/gates) with unique middle-height platforms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, WWE changed the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship too many times that year. My fantasy booking would've been to do it in Memphis, have Jimmy Hart interfere only to have Lance Russell come out and dump a bag of flour on him which distracts the ref allowing Lawler to pull out the Memphis Chain and cold cock Miz for the 3 count. Would've been among the greatest moments in wrestling history. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
