5 reasons why Goldberg defeating Bray Wyatt at WWE Super ShowDown is actually a good thing

Goldberg and The Fiend... right before the bell rang

#1 Goldberg is being booked how he should have been originally. Also, Goldberg is awesome.

Yeah, I'm saving #1 for my own personal reasons, and I don't care.

Old hags like myself, who were around in the 1990s for the Monday Night Wars, were there when Goldberg broke onto the scene and began his "streak" in WCW. He became the first person to win a world championship while undefeated - at least, according to Bobby Heenan's commentary, and I don't question The Brain - and was essentially WCW's only homegrown breakout star.

Well, we all know what happened to WCW - and I think we all remember how Goldberg was booked when he eventually ended up in WWE.

Yes, he won the World Heavyweight Championship and, yes, he certainly was positioned as a badass. But, he also had the misfortune of working for WWE during Triple H's "reign of terror", as well as Brock Lesnar's ascent to the main event scene. Basically, Goldberg never had the chance to be booked correctly. Plus, the fact that WWE wasn't even trying kind of hurt, too.

Flash forward years later, and Goldberg is back in WWE and not only is he taking down monsters like Brock Lesnar with ease, but he's winning world championships the same way. Now, he's not above taking the pinfall when the story (and the company) requires him to. But, he's finally being booked as the, well, juggernaut that he was in WCW and should have been booked in WWE from the beginning.

There's a good chance that WrestleMania this year will be Goldberg's last match with WWE. Ever. He deserves an epic build up leading up to it. Bray Wyatt will bounce back from losing the title to the WWE Hall of Famer.

Let's send him out the way he deserves.

Of course, I know all of you have your own opinions on the subject - and I want to hear them! Sound off in the comments below!
