5 legends that WWE should not bring back

Will Batista ever be accepted by the WWE Universe?

#2 Goldberg

After the last run with Lesnar, Goldberg has no reason to come back.

Fans were shocked when Goldberg returned in mid-2016. For a long time, it was believed that Goldberg was pretty much finished with the business, aside from the occasional independent appearance. However, it seems that money does, in fact, talk and for about a year, Goldberg once again enjoyed time at the top of the WWE ladder.

Goldberg would spend the next few months absolutely destroyed and dominated WWE's top star, Brock Lesnar. This particular run would leave a bad taste in some fans mouths, mainly because the company had spent so much time building Brock into such an unbeatable, destructive force, only to feed him to Bill Goldberg.

As a nostalgic fan of a more exciting era, such as the Monday Night Wars, I can appreciate what Goldberg did during the streak with WCW. He was very instrumental in WCW's success during that time. With that said, it's time to let him stay at home and turn that effort into building the next Goldberg.
