Many fans and critics alike scoff at the idea of Bill Goldberg joining All Elite Wrestling. After all, Goldberg seems like the antithesis of what the Elite are all about. Instead of being small and quick, he's big and brawny. Rather than sixty-minute marathon matches, he gets the job done in less than five minutes.

But on the other hand, given that All Elite Wrestling is seeking a television deal, a man like Goldberg might be just what the doctor ordered. Simply put, he has massive mainstream appeal that the Elite simply don't have as of yet.

Because of his involvement in other forms of entertainment and media, people who have never watched pro wrestling know his name and what he's all about. That kind of name recognition would mean a lot to television executives who are on the fence about giving AEW a spot on their lineup.

Chances of him joining AEW: About 30-70. Yes, Goldberg has followed AEW on Twitter, and yes, the AEW has followed him back, but that doesn't mean that he is going to be signed as a performer. Most likely, if Goldberg does sign he will be used sparingly as a special attraction, or possibly even in the announce booth. And he could always don the black tights and fingerless gloves and spear the living heck out of someone!
