5 things we learned from The Undertaker and Goldberg's face-off on Smackdown Live

#4 The SSD match needs to be a short affair

Something like this needs to happen again

When Goldberg made his way out to the ring tonight, it was clear as day that he isn't the same intimidating behemoth he once was. Goldberg is 52 years old, and the age did show when he came out tonight. On the other hand, we have The Undertaker, who looked like a mess the last time he came face to face with Goldberg. The two legends met inside the ring at the Royal Rumble match in 2017, with Undertaker looking alarmingly unhealthy.

It has been more than two years since that encounter, and Undertaker has only gotten worse with the passage of time. Allowing the match to cross the five-minute mark wouldn't be a good idea at this point. Instead, let the two Superstars replicate the match between Goldberg and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33, and it won't end in disaster.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
