In the world of professional wrestling, opinions about promotions and their talent can be as diverse as the moves in the ring. Recently, Bill Goldberg, a name synonymous with wrestling fame, took a jab at All Elite Wrestling (AEW), labeling the promotion “too cheesy.” This comment sparked a discussion among wrestling aficionados, including WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, who weighed in on the matter. According to Booker T, Goldberg might not be the best fit for AEW, stating that there wouldn’t be much for him to do there other than dominate the roster.
During his appearance on the Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T elaborated on his thoughts regarding Goldberg’s potential involvement with AEW. He pointed out that Goldberg’s style and brand wouldn’t mesh well with AEW’s current lineup. “Goldberg would not fit in AEW, that’s just me. It’s nothing for him to do there but just beat up guys. He’d have to beat up the whole roster. I mean, he’s not getting pinned by anyone that’s not going to happen,” Booker T expressed, highlighting the former Universal Champion’s powerful in-ring persona.
Despite his reservations, Booker T did acknowledge a scenario in which Goldberg’s participation in AEW could be beneficial. He suggested that if Goldberg were to have a final match, akin to a grand send-off in front of a massive crowd, it could be a fitting conclusion to his career. “It could be a great one-off for Bill Goldberg if he was doing it like in Wembley in front of 70,000 people and he wants to have that last match and he pull a Lanny Poffo. He bring the guy that he wants to work with,” Booker T added, hinting at the possibility of a high-profile, one-time event.
The question of who Goldberg would choose to face in his hypothetical final match with AEW remains open to speculation. Goldberg, a former WCW World Champion, never had a retirement match in WWE, leaving room for a potential last hurrah in the ring. Possible opponents could include Chris Jericho, an old acquaintance from their WCW days, or other top talents like Daniel Bryan, Kazuchika Okada, Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, or Claudio Castagnoli. Each of these wrestlers could offer a unique and compelling matchup for Goldberg’s swan song.
As discussions continue about Goldberg’s place in the wrestling world and his potential involvement with AEW, fans and pundits alike will watch closely to see if the powerhouse will make one final impact in the industry. Whether or not Goldberg steps into an AEW ring, his legacy as a dominant force in professional wrestling is already well established.
