5 Reasons why Goldberg's current WWE run has truly been 'miserable'

#2 Taking a WM main event spot away from a deserving candidate

Kevin Owens was the Superstar most affected by Goldberg’s return

Rumour has it that Vince McMahon proclaimed, on the back of Wrestle Kingdom 11, that the main event of WrestleMania 33 will outdo the monumental “six-star” masterpiece that Omega and Okada had sculpted.

Most purveyors of the sport, right off the bat, would confess that it was a claim borne more out of the boss’ competitive fire, than cold hard logic.

Not because the WWE doesn’t possess the talent to give NJPW a serious run for their money, but purely because it just isn’t possible for the WrestleMania main event to scale those heights when a ring general like AJ Styles is likely stuck in a mindless spot fest, and the likes of Kevin Owens are brushed off the centre-stage and relegated to an afterthought on the card.

And while Goldberg versus Brock Lesnar certainly qualifies as a blockbuster on paper, it’s not going to last more than five minutes, and in the process, also deprives a full-time wrestler the chance to showcase their talents in the main event spot.

Harken back to CM Punk, who actually had the chutzpah to walk out on the company when he was meted out similar treatment, and you’d realise that the WWE hardly learns from their mistakes.

Whether it be with the Rock or Goldberg, they’ve showed an unhealthy inclination to risk part-timers who tug on the strings of nostalgia, rather than take a healthy gamble with a star of tomorrow who can make that WrestleMania main event spot their own for years to come.

Tsk. Tsk.
