#1 A straight out fight with Brock Lesnar:
It has been stated by Goldberg that he is not going to extend his returning run beyond one match. That puts a perspective into the seething feud with Brock Lesnar. While history hangs like a sword over Lesnar’s head, his recent bookings have acknowledged him as a loose cannon powerhouse.
Not only has he put down every WWE opponent he has faced, but has also mangled through the Undertaker’s legendary Streak. At Summerslam, he hammered Randy Orton to unconsciousness with unwarranted elbow strikes which were considered, for some brief moments, a shoot.
Then he proceeded to deliver an F5 to Smackdown General manager Shane Mcmahon. These are the definitive workings of a heel turn, a ground he has cautiously treaded since his return. However, the fact that he is one of the biggest draws for the company puts him in a position far above the rest.
As for Goldberg, his return which had been severely promoted by the company put the WWE Universe in a delirium. The subject of his taunts had been Lesnar. A possible feud between the two was a celebratory thought, some considering it a sort of vindication for Lesnar after the Wrestlemania XX debacle.
Besides, the intense promotional routines for the video game had Goldberg tour places and engage with fans, giving him an edge over Lesnar as far as the ethics of character go. His return would be as a face since it does not make sense for a legend of his stature to initiate his run as a heel.
If Lesnar, through his advocate Paul Heyman, continues to pet a complete heel turn, there needs to be someone who can bring him back to the ground. Seeing how he has been billed as untouchable by the rest of the roster, it only makes sense for Goldberg, who had beaten him once, to take that spot.
The fact that it is going to be a one match run at Survivor Series makes it all the more probable, in the manner of a grand victorious farewell for the former WCW Champion. Lesnar’s win, though, would settle the score between the two. The push would be immense and consolidate his formidability.
The WWE can do well with such a reputation, since it would allow them to write a promising Superstar into a feud with Lesnar and eventually defeat him to become, not only the face of the company but also a daunting one at that.
