I didn’t realize he was buddies with Merriman, but because Goldberg doesn’t HAVE to wrestle, he does have some leverage to do something unique like bring in a football player as a partner.
Goldberg is looking huge on Apprentice, so he appears to be in shape. I think he’ll be a little more careful this time and will have more control over what happens to him in WWE this time around.
There’s not enough time to get Merriman trained enough to look good in the ring, but WWE doesn’t care. They’ll take any kind of celebrity like Napoleon Dynamite or Kevin Federline and let them pin their World champions. I’m thinking Shawne Merriman pins Cody Rhodes in a tag match this summer that no one will care about, and he’ll pocket $2 million for it.

These are not figments of your imagination people, so drop the “real/fake” lingo already. The world is a lot smarter than you who engage in this discussion who don’t even use the right terminology anyway.
And btw, Bronko Nagurski left the Chicago Bears to go into wrestling full time as the pay was better back then. So it has been done.

Slow time of year for NFL news, but even womens hockey would be more justified here than that crap.

Do yourself a huge favor and jump on YouTube and search ” Chikara Pro” wrestling.
Based out of Philly, they have taken all forms of pro wrestling and mixed it with comic book story lines and Lucha Libre masked grapplers. Weekly free podcasts and DVD sales of all of their shows are available.
Again, you and I have the same wrestling heritage, Jay Strongbow, Super Fly Snuka, etc. you will really dig Chikara !!

i remember when Goldberg was like 182-0 and finally lost to Kevin Nash when that cheap piece of crap Scott Hall tasered him…. that ruined my 12th birthday party.

Florio, do a little research

WWE, the NFL…hey, we are talking about staged entertainment here. You guys act as if this is real sports we’re talking about.
You do know it’s all rigged, right????

You are a much better character study for WWE/WWF/WTF than you ever will be in Foot ballin.
I believe you have the ability to be able to be a Rassler just fine. Just don’t forget to turn .. before you leave the room…

Hope Goldberg tells him no and goes to TNA.
I wish Goldberg would spear and jackhammer senile crypt-keeper Al Davis. It would be funny seeing Herrera have to scrape him up and clean his diaper.

Especially a guy like Merriman, who will probably not have a long career.

I usually don’t jump on the ‘making things up to sell papers’ bandwagon, but this is stupid.

WWE bought out WCW and can take credit for things like this. Goldberg carried Monday Nitro for years!
