#2 Why he shouldn’t: Tarnishing his legacy

With that, we come to the cold hard truth of life. While the WWE Universe might look forward to nostalgic arcs every now and then, lasting but a fleeting moment, the obvious victory of Father Time always leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
One of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema took place in Pulp Fiction where Marsellus Wallace (played by Ving Rhames) explains to Butch (played by Bruce Willis) the truth about the boxing business. He says that all boxers age like vinegar, and delude themselves into thinking they would age like wine.

And that’s the truth. A relevant example is Shawn Michaels' sub-par performance during his return last year. There is no one who truly beats Father Time. So when Goldberg’s obvious ‘vinegar-ness’ becomes apparent during the match, it would somewhat tarnish the legacy of a man who has been projected – for the majority of his career – as indomitable.
