And it finally happened! It was truly an electric atmosphere. The way he walked past the WWE roster applauding and the eventual entrance through the curtains was just a nostalgic ride down memory lane.
The fans chanted Goldber...Goldberg and they didn’t stop until the segment ended. Cole began the segment by introducing the WCW legend. The fans in Denver were at their loudest best which made the return worth all the hype. The overwhelming reception got a tear in Goldberg’s eye and one of the toughest men in sports entertainment showed his soft side here.
We didn’t see Goldberg the destroyer, but we witnessed the real Bill Goldberg. He spoke about being a role model to children all around the world and walked the WWE fans through the process of his decision to return. He revealed how his wife and kid have seen him in a ring for the very first time.
Last but not the least, he accepted Brock Lesnar’s challenge and said he has it in him for one last a** whooping after pulling off a troll on the fans. He recounted how he thought that he wouldn't ever want to wrestle again, but that Brock Lesnar's challenge brought him back. He cut an epic promo that got the crowd going into a frenzy, and accepted the challenge saying that "not only is Lesnar next, but he is last!"
He walked over to the crowd, and celebrated with his son and other kids as Raw went off the air!
What. A. MOMENT!
